Hi Everyone, I am so sorry that I haven't updated.. I know I said two weeks and it has been a lot longer... I do have a good reason though
The reason I need two weeks that I didn't update during was because I was going to another city to visit my grandfather in hospital. He was very ill and we stayed in that city for longer then planned because he passed away.
My family is a very close one- I was really upset (I still am) and I am finding it a bit hard to focus on my story. Right now, my life is focused on helping my family and supporting them.
This is a chapter I was working on at the start of my family's visit- it feels a bit incomplete but I hope you like it.

I am really sorry it took so long to update, but I hope you can understand.

"Audition number 9123, Samantha Mullin," one of the set's crew said as she held up my number in front of the camera. I had been waiting in line for two hours, and that time had been occupied by watching a live feed of the audition room, projected on to a screen in the main waiting room.

There had already been so many extremely talented people who had been through the auditions to the next round of the competition and I was getting more and more nervous about my mission.

I had been occupying myself by looking out for Nicole, but I hadn't seen her anywhere. The time had- somehow- gone quickly and now here I was, about to audition.

"Samantha, tell us a bit about yourself," one of the judges- Kelly, I think it was? - asked. The judges had been asking similar questions to all of the contestants and everyone knew how to answer.

"My name is Samantha Mullin, I'm 15 years old and I am from London, England," I replied, putting as much "I am a worthy contest"- ness in as possible.

The judges all checked to see they had the right paperwork in front of them and Kelly asked the next question that every else had been asked.

"And what are you going to sing for us today, Samantha?"

"I'm going to be singing Invisible, by Taylor Swift."

"Well alright then, go ahead," Scott- the 'mean' judge- said.

"She can't see the way your eyes light up when you smile
She'll never notice how you stop and stare whenever she walks by
And you can't see me wantin' you the way you want her
But you are everything to me

And I just wanna show you
She don't even know you
She's never gonna love you like I want to
You just see right through me but if you only knew me
We could be a beautiful miracle unbelievable instead of just invisible

There's a fire inside of you that can't help but shine through
She's never gonna see the light
No matter what you do
And all I think about is how to make you think of-"

"Ok, that's enough, thank you," Scott said as he signalled for the music to be cut off.

There was a pause as I waited for the judges to say something. I didn't realise it, but I was actually holding my breath.

I only started breathing again once Kelly spoke. "I liked it."

"Me too," the third and last judge- Matthew- finally spoke, "It flowed nicely, but I would like to hear you in a more challenging song."

I said thankyou and then turned to Scott. He was giving me the 'I'm the mean judge, be prepared' kind of look.

After a moment of silence, except for the thousands of people talking outside, Scott said, "Well, it's a yes from me."

The other judges both said "Yes" to me being on the show and the smile that spread across my face wasn't a part of the act.

My first mission!

I was in the contest. I was in the mission.

It took about half an hour for me to go through all of the paperwork to allow me to be on the show. The show was going to be filmed in London, so that was where I would be staying. My 'mother'- Zara Asker, who was the mission controller, had told me that Nicole had been through and accepted into the competition.

She had auditioned only a few people before me, that was why I hadn't seen her on the projected screen.

Zara and CHERUB had already made sure I was in the same room as Nicole, they hadn't needed to do much because Britain Can Sing! puts people of similar ages in the same rooms.

The first step of my mission was accomplished.

Next step: meet Nichole White.

A lot of you have been reviewing saying how you don't like Sammie because she never fails, but don't worry, not all CHERUB missions are a success.

And there are a lot of songs that will be in the next few chapters, so sorry if I didn't use one of the many songs suggested but I will try to use as many as possible. A lot of people requested Taylor Swift so I used her song- I do not own it- please don't complain if you don't like her music, I just went with the majority.

Thanks for reading and I am sorry it took so long to update
