I DO NOT OWN THE SELECTION SERIES. SHOUTOUT TO DELEATEDUSER0001 AND AVA NAVA FOR CREATING THESE CHARACTERS.
Indoor amusement park, Sacramento. Province of Angeles. 2 months and 4 weeks into the selection.
The last required solo date for King Peter would be with Pyra Kakashi. For her date, she had elected to go to an archery range. There just happened to be an indoor amusement park that had an archery range, so Peter paid to have it cleared for the day so they could use it free of public hassle. Unfortunately for the king, he was quite the noob when it came to bows and arrows. Pyra however, proved to be a regular Katniss Everdeen as she hit the target on the board rather consistently.
"Wow Pyra, I didn't know that you were so good at this!" Peter exclaimed as he fired another arrow which almost made it to the first circle.
"There's a lot you don't know about me, your majesty." Pyra replied with a snarky tone of voice that caught him a bit off guard.
"I'm sure about that, that's what these dates are for right?" He teased as he tried to focus on improving his aim. While the arrows continued to fly, Peter tried to make small talk with Pyra and to woo her as he had other selected. However, it seemed as if she was shutting down any attempt to let him in. By the time he was ready to quit, he gasped as an arrow flew too close to him for comfort.
"Oops, it was an accident." Pyra said with a shit eating grin on her face. "I apologize your majesty."
"It's ok...accidents happen..." Peter replied quietly as he shared a look with officer Eisenhower that said neither man believed that it was an accident.
Schreave Palace. Later that day.
After the date had concluded, Seraphina Shepherd received a knock on her door. She opened it to reveal King Peter, first of his name.
"Peter..." Phina said as she quickly pulled him inside her room and closed the door.
"How have you been?" He asked as he gazed upon her.
"I'm as good as I can be." She answered as she took his hands in hers. "Look Peter, I need to apologize to you. I still don't agree with Corporal punishment...but I know that you only wanted it because you care about me; plus you are the King so..."
"I'm sorry too, you were the victim so I should have been more respectful to your feelings." Peter replied as they embraced, thankful that the awkwardness could end.
"So, how did your solo date with Pyra go?" Phina asked with a smirk as Peter heaved a sigh.
"Well, she seemed really cold towards me, plus she almost accidentally shot me with an arrow." The King explained as Phina's eyes grew wide.
"The Hell...are you sure about that?" She asked incredulously.
"Pyra said that it was an accident…but I don't think it was; is that messed up?" Peter asked nervously.
"No, I don't quite believe her either." Phina replied.
"I'm gonna cut her…there's just something off about her." Peter admitted.
Phina nodded, "You have to do what you think is best." Peter smiled as he gently cupped her cheek.
"I certainly do." He insisted as he gently leaned in and kissed Phina on the lips. She returned the kiss as she gently wrapped her arms around him and enjoyed being with him once again and the ass grabber was forgotten.
Later that day.
While Peter was making out with Phina in her room, Pyra Kakashi was having a secret netting in hers. With her was Rosaline Carter: the selected from Baffin and Gertrude Reagan: the girl from Bankston. Pyra had confided in both of them about her true purpose for applying to Peter's selection and had managed to convert them into radical socialists or so she thought.
"All right comrades, I spent the entire day screwing around with Peter." Pyra explained as they sat on her bed. "I even shot an arrow at him, so he could eliminate me any day."
"I thought you were going to try and win so that you could kill him when he proposed to you?" Rosaline asked in confusion.
"I tried, but I can't take it anymore." Pyra insisted as she took her small 2 shot pistol out of her purse. "He is a feudalist pig who only cares about his next and he needs to be stopped before he uses any more girls."
"So what's the plan?" Gertrude inquired.
"We have to stick together at all times so that when he comes to cut me, you'll be close by." Pyra explained. "When he eliminates me, I'll shoot him and you 2 need to give me time to confirm the kill."
"Understood!" Carter declared with glee.
"Once he's dead and since he has no heirs, the King's Congress will have no choice but to abolish the monarchy once and for all!" Pyra declared as she raised her pistol up high in victory, knowing that she would be shedding the blood of Illèa's last King soon enough.
IS KING PETER'S DEATH CLOSE AT HAND? REVIEWS NEEDED AND APPRECIATED.
