Chapter 1

I couldn't help but smile to myself. In just a few more days would be the start of the Selection. My mother America has been in it last time and was almost the new queen, but she didn't make it. She told me why. The only reason she said no was because of our former King, King Clarkson. He had tolder her that if she left the Selection he would spare her life, and her family's. Mom loves her family so she did what she had to.

After a year her old lover Aspen Leger came back from his year of being a guard and married her as her would have if she hadn't been in the Selection. When mom tells me the story I always feel happy that I was never alive when Clarkson was the king. Beating his own son and wife.

Now everything is great though. King Maxon is a great king. He try's to help everyone he can, and that goes for Queen Kriss and they're children Prince James, and Princess Ella, but I can't say the same about Prince Sam. He may be twin's with Princess Ella but their personality's are nothing alike. While she is sweat, nice and loveable, he is rude and manipulative. Last week he was caught in a room with a girl, fully naked, and just a few days ago in a closet with one of the place guards.

" Holland." my little sister Marlee yells to me.

Form the story that I've heard Marlee was named after moms best friend in the Selection. Marlee and i had met moms friend Marlee a few times, and after that her son Ryan and i started to go out. Ryan was perfect in every way. He was nice, funny and brave. He was also quite handsome. Messy blond hair sticking out everywhere, sky blue eyes like his father Carter, tall and athletic. I'm Ryan's world, and he is my sun.

Looking at Marlee she gives me the biggest smile, and i know that she wants something. Marlee and i look nothing alike. She looks like our father Aspen, long black hair and dark eyes , while i look more like our mother with red hair, freckled face and green eyes. One thing that i can tell is that Marlee is quite upset that i was the one who was born with the red hair, and not her.

" What?" I ask.

" Ryan's here, and he wants to talk to you." she says giving me Kissie faced.

Yes i say to myself. it has been a week scene I've last seen him, and i have so much that i want to tell him.

Walking out of my house I spot Ryan by the door giving me a big smile. I can't help but smile back because of how silly he look's right now. " What?" I try to say as calmly as i can, but that doesn't turn out well because I'm starting to laugh now.I hate it but love it when he makes me feel like I'm the only reason why he even wants to live.

" I wanted to talk to you about something." he say's dropping the happiness in his voice.

My smile drop's as well when I see the look on his face. He has never made this face unless if he is in trouble. Oh no i think to myself. Did someone find out about who he and his parent really are? King Maxon protected them once but i don't think that he will be able to do that again with the fact that Illia is now a blood thirsty country. Once they went crazy when the former Queen Amberly came to see the new King and Queen that someone shot her. They tried covering it up saying that it was a Rebel who killed her, but we all no better.

" No one found out about that?" i ask.

" No, no one did." he says and i give a sigh of relief.

" What is it then?" I ask hating myself for having a shaky voice.

" I want you to join the Selection"

I look at him blankly. The strange thing about is is that i somehow saw that coming. This is exactly what happened to my mother, and I don't want that to happen to me. As i think about it it hits me; Ryan wouldn't want be to be stuck like he is, owned by the palace. He would rather have me marry someone that I would never love or stand then have to be in the same position that he is.

" No." I say barley a whisper. " I want to be with you."

" That's the problem Holl, I got the letter saying that I'm going to New Asia to help with the war." he says pulling me in for a hug.

Before we do hug i pull myself away. This isn't happening I say to myself. No matter how hard i want to believe it I know that Ryan just isn't meant to be in the war. He'll die doing something we both know he wont have a chance at, and all he wants is for me to be happy, but knowing that my love is dead and being stuck with someone that's not meant for me would''t make me happy at all.

" How long have you known?" I ask as a tear slips down my cheek. " When did they send the letters?"

" A month ago... and I'll be leaving when The Selection starts."

" And you didn't tell me?"

" I didn't know what to say." he stutters.

" The truth would have helped."

" Holland, I'm so-"

" Just forget it." i cut him off and run inside.

Slamming the door I think of what just happened. My one true love was leaving me, and i would never get him back. why wouldn't King Maxon do something about it? Was it pay back for what Marlee did to him because the only reason he let them be was because of my mother, and after that it was a surprise that he even let them stay in his home.

Why wouldn't he tell me though? A whole month of keeping this to himself? This isn't the Ryan that i know. The Ryan that i know would have told me, and we would have gotten through this together.

Wait I tell myself. Your not a helpless child anymore. Ryan just gave me one last wish. The Selection.
