Sorry for the short chapter.
Grace POV
I came back home when the sun was setting; I didn't want to, but I had to. I found my dad sitting on the front steps… I was glad to see him. I knew that he just wanted me to be happy, but I didn't want this.
"Welcome back, princess." he said with a smirk and I sighed as I plopped down next to him.
"Dad…" I whined and he pulled me into a hug. He was my rock and the one person I turned to for everything. I needed him so much now.
"You will be fine. You are going to get the experience of a lifetime. I know that you can be the princess if you really want to be, but if you don't want it then you will get what you need out of it. Plus, it gives your mother the reason to say 'yes' to anything you want from now on." he said and I laughed. He was right about that.
"Who got mom home?" I asked him.
"Justin made sure she got home. They are all worried about you." he said and I nodded, but wondered if it was because it was me or because I had just been picked. I got ready to say something when the door came flying open.
"You are going to be a princess!" June said as she hugged me. I had to laugh at her, because she was too young to understand that people had choices in their life other than chocolate or vanilla.
"Grace, come in here. You are missing everything." Mom said and I sighed as Dad nudged me to stand up. I got up with him and walked inside. Grace was right on my heels; she was excited for all of us.
I spent the rest of the night listening to the phone ringing non-stop, reading over the package that had already been delivered to my house, and getting sympathy from Dad. The package had everything in it. I was having an advisor come to see me to get measurements, go over everything that will be happening, and bringing me a maid for when I leave for the palace. I didn't really know how to think of all this… maybe, it was a bad dream. I was finally allowed to go to my room and I couldn't wait.
I was getting ready for bed when I noticed a piece of paper on my nightstand. I picked up and smiled; it was from Justin.
Treehouse…midnight
I glanced at the clock and knew that I had to hurry. I grabbed clothes and left. I didn't want to be late; I needed to see him. I crawled up there, but no one was there. I thought maybe I was early when I felt a crunch under my foot. I saw flowers and a piece of paper.
Grace,
I couldn't believe it when I heard your name called… it was a nightmare. I would have never pushed you to do it if I thought you were going to make it. I know that you are beautiful, but no one cares about the lower parts of society. I don't want to see you go, so I'm not going to see you again. I have decided that the military is the best option. I can think about you the way you are before they change you. I will always remember you… sorry to do it like this, but I know this is better for you.
Love you always,
Justin
I ran home and cried; I wanted to give up right now.
Dean POV
I sighed as Seth brought me the list of girls. I didn't really care… I had no desire to do this.
"They don't look bad." he said and I sighed as I started to look through them. They all looked the same, except for the last girl. She had reddish-blonde hair, good proportions, and came from the southern part of the country. I had no idea they were going to let one of them make it into the selection. They were thought of as lower, slower, and stupider…. maybe I could use her to get people off my back.
"Find one?" he asked me and I shrugged. I liked Seth, he was a friend, but he wasn't someone I trusted… he had told stuff to my father before. I wasn't going to let anyone know anything yet. I wanted to meet them first. I knew that I wouldn't have to wait long. They would be here in two weeks. I was dreading it.
