A/N Hi people. So this is my first Selection story, I hope its good. I ship Kadlyn, because well it's Kadlyn. I CAN"T wait for The Crown. UGH. But hey, only a few more months, right. *screams* I WANNA KNOW WHO SHE CHOOSES! Anyway, I hope you all enjoy it and please review! This takes place after The Heir and its rated T just to be safe. That's all I have to say for now. Okay, chapter 1, enjoy!
I (sadly) do not own any of the Selection stuff, that's Kiera Cass
I was pacing in my room, thinking about this and that. My mother was slowly but surely getting better, but there were still two problems. One, I had to finish the selection, I needed too. And two, I still thought about Ahren. I missed him so much but he betrayed me, for Camille. Perfect little Camille, the only thing between me and my twin. I shook my head and stopped pacing; I had decided to check on my dad. My dad stayed with my mom every night, the doctors had finally convinced him that he had to work. I walked out of my room and down the hall to my parent's office. I knocked on the door; a few minutes later a very tired voice told me to come in. I walked in and took in the sad sight of my father.
He looked so tired and had dark purple bags under his eyes. His hair was a mess; he probably kept running his hands through it. He had stacks of paperwork on his desk but he wasn't paying attention to that. Her dad was staring at a picture of him and America on their wedding day.
"Hi, daddy," I said, breaking the silence.
"Hello, Eadlyn. How are you?"
"I've been better. How are you?"
"I not the best today, I'm still worried about-"
"Mom, right? We are all worried about her."
Her dad sighed, "I know but it's just…"
"It's just that her dad died of heart problems and it might happen to mom," I said softly.
"Yes, yes, but still…" he stopped talking and choked on a sob. I walked over and hugged him. He held on to me tightly and cried in my shoulder. Her dad didn't care if he cried in front of people; he thought it was strength, not a weakness. He pulled away and dabbed his eyes with a handkerchief.
"So, what brings you here?"
"I wanted to see how you were holding up."
"I'm better now, thank you."
"You are welcome. Well, if everything is good, I think I'm going to go."
Dad nodded, "Okay, I'll see you later, Eadlyn."
"Okay, bye."
I knew he wouldn't be at supper. Dad has been either eating in his office or with mom. But Kaden, Osten, the selected men (that were left) and I ate at the table, most of the time.
I walked down the hallway back to my room. When I got in my room, I got an idea. I had so much on my mind, about mom, Ahren, the selection. I need to focus on one thing at a time. I decided to ask a selected out for a walk or something. I quickly ran through a list in my head of who was left and decided on Edwin Bishop from Denbeigh. I called for a maid and while I waited I wrote him a letter.
Dear Edwin,
I'm aware we have spent no time together. I would like to know if you want to walk around the garden with me. Please send a reply with the nurse, Thank you.
Her royal highness, Eadlyn Schreave
I gave the note to the maid and waited. A few minutes later, the maid was back with a scribbled note on the back of mine.
Dear your highness Eadlyn,
It would be my pleasure. I will meet you in the gardens in ten minutes.
Sincerely yours, Edwin
I stood up and walked in my closet, I found a midnight blue, A-line dress. I nodded in satisfaction and changed out of my other outfit and into the dress. The dress ended a bit above my knees and hugged my curves. I walked in the bathroom and looked at my reflection. My hair was a mess and my make-up was all smudged. I grabbed a wipe and wiped all the make-up off. Then I added a little blush and lip gloss. I grabbed a brush and un-knotted my hair. When I was finished, my hair laid in soft waves down my back. It was the best I could do. I walked out of the bathroom and slipped on brown leather sandals. I grabbed a white sweater in case it got cold. I stepped out of my room and walked down the hallway. I wasn't paying attention and I bumped into someone. We both fell down and I looked at the person whom I bumped into.
It was Kile.
A/N So, what did you all think? Hmm? PLEASE REVIEW. DO IT. Okay, until next time.
Goodbye and may the fandom be with you.
