A/N: yay! Okay votes are in...(drum roll please)...you'll find out at the end of the chapter!
Chapter 11
Alaina's POV
Everyone has acted differently lately. And now we're down to 13.
So close to the Elite.
And Glenn has been ignoring me. So right now I'm in the Women's Room with the queen, Vivian, Diana, and Simone.
Prince Glenn comes by and picks up Diana. She's the new favorite.
On there way out a guard asks to enter. Queen America accepts.
He walks up to me,"Is Simone here?" He asks. I point over to where she is sitting by the window. He walks over to Simone and asks if he can borrow her. She looks unsure and then accepts.
How odd.
I excuse myself to the bathroom and follow them. They suddenly slip into an abandoned room.
I hear whispers and then the door locks.
Oh no. Not Simone. Not her.
I quickly return to the Women's Room and try not to speak for the rest of the day.
Simone's POV
"Who are you?" I ask as the guard pulls me into a random room.
"I need some help," he replies. "I want to run away with one of the Selected."
"You're crazy!" I exclaim.
"Please, I love her!"
"And what about her?"
"What do you mean?"
"Does she love you?"
"Yes, I think so."
"Well I won't help unless I know that she does," with that I walk out of the door.
I walk all the way back to the Women's Room. Diana isn't here. But Alaina is. I walk over to her, and try to talk to her.
"I need to tell you something," I whisper. She shakes her head.
"Why?" I ask.
"I saw you in the hallway," she hisses.
"What do you mean?" I ask. I seem to be asking that a lot.
"Why? That's what I don't get. How could you do that to Glenn?" She asks. I'm dumbfounded. And since when were they on a first name bases?
"What?" I implore.
"You're cheating with a guard!" She whisper yells. I sit there for s minute and then laugh.
"You-you think-think that he wanted me?" I ask in between laughs. She just stares at me. "He wants-"
Vivian's POV
Alaina and Simone are having a very in depth conversation.
Suddenly, Simone starts laughing hysterically. They both keep talking and then make their way over to me. Just before they get to me though, Prince Glenn comes by. He drops Diana off and motions for Alaina to go over.
She hesitates but does.
Simone keeps on walking towards me.
"We need to talk," she says. She also beckons over Diana.
"So I met a guard today," she starts. I really hope that she doesn't mean the one standing outside of my door...
"And?" Diana asks. "They're kind of all over the place."
Simone glares at her and then says, "But he wanted something from me. One of us."
What does she mean? Would he still want me after last night? It was a very short visit and-
"What do you mean?" Diana asks.
"Well he said-" Simone starts.
Shouts fill the hallways. One belonging to Prince Glenn, the other to Alaina. Oh no. We all stop talking and even the queen looks up. It's muffled.
"Why?" The Prince asks.
"Heck if I know! Why don't you ask her?" Alaina responds.
"I can't exactly walk up and say hey, Vivian, answer me a question, will you? Why does a rebel want you?"
Simone's head snaps back to me, then straight to Diana.
"Well what do you want me to do?" Alaina shouts.
"Ask her!" Prince Glenn retorts.
"You're...me," the voices are getting quieter.
"No...need...why."
"I...ask...why."
"Please?"
A moment passes. Two.
"Fine," Alaina finally says.
Alaina comes in quietly and curtsies to the queen. Then she walks over to me.
"Could I talk to you for a moment?" She asks.
I nod and follow her.
"Do you have any connections with the rebels?" She asks bluntly.I think for a moment too long and give myself away.
"How?" She asks.
"I'm just a part of it because of my parents. I was born in and then this guys started to like me," I take a breath before I continue to ramble. "And then I entered the Selection and everything was okay. I guess that the rebel that you met was his older brother, Oliver. But Neville must still like me and-"
"Okay," Alaina says putting up a hand. I'm afraid for a moment that she won't believe me. But it is the truth. "That's all I needed to know."
She turns and walks back out to the hallway.
I think that she started to talk to Prince Glenn again. I hope that he believes me too.
Diana's POV
When Simone started talking about guards, I was utterly confused. When Alaina took Vivian, I stated asking questions.
"So what did this guard look like?" I ask.
"He's a bit taller, and he has freckles. Dirty blond hair. Why?" Simone responds.
"Just wondering if I may have seen him before. Did you catch his last name?"
"Yeah...uh...oh! Yeah! It's Tree."
"Odd. Tree...Tree...Tree...oh. Yeah I've seen him before. I think that he guards Vivian's door."
Simone looks at me suspiciously and then talks.
"No, he wants to run away with you."
A/N: so are you hooked yet? I tried misleading you to Simone, then to Vivian, but it was Diana all along! So I thought I'd say a few things. First off, A/N means Authors Note. Also, if you have something to add to the story, please PM me because it's easier to get. PM stands for Private Message by the way. So I think that that is all for this chapter! Please review or PM and don't be afraid to criticize! (This coming from Queen Critic) Until next time my dears,
The Queen
