ITS BEEN TWO MONTHS? OMG IM SORRY! IM SO SORRY! But I'm here. I'll try to update every day this week (except Thursday, my birthday). After that I'll be in London without wifi for a week.
But now for the main event. CHAPTER 29 (I think)
Previously:
"THE MONARCHY WILL DIE!" Before I could tell anything, she shot a bullet in the back of Alison's head. Screams erupted as more guns were being shot. Savannah ran to the (still broken) door. Before I left, I ushered other royals and Selected to the safe room. From behind me I heard a scream. I turned around to two rebels holding two different people at gun point. One rebel had "King" Daniel, the other had Savannah.
"Lady Cassia, you have a choice. Only one can live," the rebel with Daniel said. "Who will you choose to go with you to safety. The other will go to camp with us for torture, than execution. You have five minutes to decide,"
Who will I choose!?
~Cassia's POV~
"Tick Tock Lady Cassia. If you don't decide they both die." The Rebel pushed. I started pacing. I want to save Savannah...but Daniel is the king. An arrogant one, but a king none the less.
"Cassie...pick Daniel," Savannah said calmly. I wish I have her courage.
"But I don't want to..." I whined. "He's a bitch."
"Thanks Lady Cassia," Daniel replied.
"Can you blame me though? If you believed us this would have never happened AND ALI WOULDN'T BE DEAD!" I yelled.
"One minute Cassia," The Rebel cooed.
"Stay out of this!" I yelled.
"I understand what you are saying-"
"I don't think you do," I said turning my head. "I choose-"
~Princess April's POV~
I watched Cassia from behind a pole. I didn't bother to attend the funeral. My father lied to me. Call me selfish, but I don't care. It might have saved my life. Cassia turned her head towards me. Our eyes met, but I wasn't sure if she could see me. She averted her eyes away from me. "I choose Savannah,"
"Suit yourself," I watched as one of the Rebels threw Savannah towards Cassia, and the other rebel loaded his gun and aimed it at Daniel's head.
"NOOOOOO!" Savannah, Cassia, and I yelled. We all started running towards the Rebel, not knowing what we were doing. Cassia tackled the gun that used to hold Savannah.
I heard the gunshot and felt something cold in my stomach. I looked down.
I was shot. I took to the bullet for Daniel. I fell to the ground. I watched Savannah knock out the guy who shot me. My vision started to fade away as I looked up towards the ceiling.
~Cassia's POV~
After the gunshot, I thought Daniel died. Instead I saw April's limp body in a pool of blood. Daniel was leaning on it.
"APRIL! LOOK AT ME APRIL! SAY SOMETHING!" He cried. "Please..." Savannah went by his side and held his shoulder. I decided against this.
"Daniel..." April croaked. "Run...you are still in danger..."
"April..." Daniel said, brushing a piece of hair behind her ear. "Why..."
"I'm not royalty, it's my duty to protect you," Daniel started crying more. "I love you,"
"I love you," Daniel cried.
"Remember, not all the girls are here for you. Give all of them a second chance, and give them your full attention. Promise me,"
"I promise,"
"Thank you..." With that, the life left April's eyes. Daniel started to bawl.
"We gotta hurry," I said. I knew this probably was the wrong thing to say, but I don't want to get kidnapped again. Surprisingly, Daniel nodded. I watched him lead us to the nearest safe room in silence. It wasn't the main one so it was just us. We sat there in silence. I glanced at Daniel. He was crying again. For the first time ever, I felt bad for him. He lost everything in a matter of weeks.
Maybe I was a little hard on him, but he is really hard on himself, and we have to change that.
Because not only his life depends on it. All of IlleĆ” does. I closed my eyes, and faced Savannah she seemed to be thinking as well.
"Ladies, I'm sorry. I didn't realize how much you went through in your lives." We faced him.
"I'm sorry," I said. "I didn't realize how much you lost,"
"Same here," Savannah added. "I'm afraid we have been too harsh on you when we first met." I nodded in agreement.
"We just have to fulfill April's last wish to start over. Agreed?" Daniel said
"Agreed," Savannah and I answered. With that, we returned to the silence that was haunting us before.
~Time Skip~
"I found them!" I heard. "In here," the door opened to reveal guards.
"Who is there?" Another guard asked.
"Lady Cassia, Lady Savannah, and King Daniel." The guards came to us and helped us up.
"C'mon King Daniel. You have to make a speech saying you are alive and well."
"How long has it been?" Daniel asked. Obviously he just woke up.
"A day. You also have to make a speech announcing the deceased Selected."
"How many died?" I asked.
"Let's just say we are down to the Elite," with that, we were led out of the room.
~Time Skip to Daniel's Speech~
"Attention IlleĆ”," Daniel started. "A great tragedy has occurred. During my father's funeral, we were attacked by Rebels. They were lead by a selected and escaped fugitive, neither of which have been found. No doubt this attack was connected to my Mother. These rebels are extremely dangerous and armed. I personally was attacked. The details must remained classified, but in the end Princess April took the bullet for me and ended up dying. We will now take a moment of silence to remember her and her bravery." We stayed quiet for about thirty seconds. "The Selected were also attacked. I will now read the names of deceased Selected. Lady Vanessa was the Selected who started the attack so she will not be on either list. The deceased are...
Lady Alison Ria Stephenson of Carolina
Lady Shivani Adelaide Jackson of Denbeigh
Lady Sydney Faith Henderson of St. George
Let's take a moment to remember them," We sat there in silence for thirty seconds. "That is all," With that, King Daniel walked off the stage.
What do you think? Just for clarification the Elite are Lexus, Cassia, Margaux, Jennifer, Elizabeth Alexis, Savannah, Scarlet, and Rebecca.
Who is your favorite and who do you want to go home? What do you think of Daniel? TELL ME!
