Time seemed to go by slowly, my head tucked into Cameron's shoulder with his arms around me. The rebel activities had been almost non-existent lately until now apparently. It felt like we were sitting there for hours but in reality it was only about 20 minutes. Guards came out shouting our names looking for us Cameron stood up with me in his arms, we were both shaking. The King and the Queen came rushing out, once they heard we were found, and threw their arms around Cameron. My parents came running out behind them and wrapped their arms around me, asking if I was ok. Tears were slowly flowing down my cheeks; they whipped away my tears and tried to get me to relax. King Maxon came over and asked my father to follow him. Mean while the Queen was fussing over Prince Cameron who was trying to get her to leave him alone. I gave him a soft smile before excusing myself to my room.

Sleep didn't come easily, I spent the majority of the night tossing and turning, I think I got about 3 hours of sleep. My maids walked in at 8 o'clock, they informed me of an emergency report that was being filmed in one hour time. Before the report I had to eat say goodbye to my family and get ready. They put me in a black and peach day dress and left my hair down naturally to save time.

The halls are filled with twice as many guards as usual. Everyone was still on edge from yesterday. You could hear all the voices from down the hall leading up to the dining hall; everyone was talking about what happened yesterday and what to make of it. I took my seat beside my parents. The cooks seemed to have out done themselves again, but even just looking at food made me feel sick. I grabbed some grapes and strawberries from a bowl right in front of me as my mother and I talked about the palace and she told me how much it had changed since she was here.

The royal family walked in a few minutes later and everyone went quiet.

"Ladies, gentleman and the selected, I have some information on the events of last night. Last night 3 rebels infiltrated the palace. As far as we know they were acting on their own accord. Because of this reason everyone is to remain calm, because of the presence of cameras last night the special report that was to air Friday will now be today and we will tell the public about the attack. We will be increasing security as a precaution. It has been a pleasure having you all here and hopefully we will see some of you again." King Maxon finished his speech and sat down at the head table with the rest of the family. Cameron looks at me from his seat and gives me a questioning look about the food on my plate. I just shook my head and started talking to my parents.

My eyes were full of tears as I turned to my parents, I wrapped my arms around them and held them as long as possible. I was going to miss them so much, I wish they could stay but they had to leave. I gave both my parents a kiss on the cheek and then they left. I walked slowly back up to my room to fix my hair and makeup before the report.

I sat down in my usual seat and put on a smile just as the cameras start rolling. As the king makes a speech my eyes roam over the room. The advisers looked tense, princess Madeleine was falling asleep in her chair, as I scanned the selected I did a double take… 1...2..3…4.5.6…7.8 that's it. There were 10 of us at breakfast and now there are only 8.

Maxon sits back down and Joel walks on stage.

"People of Illea I present to you the Elite!" He says and everyone applauds. "So as you guys know there was a ball last night and so lets watch some footage before catching up on the latest gossip." And the footage starts rolling.

It starts with us seeing our families and having our little family reunions, which looked really sweet and sad. Then it was us greeting all the guests, minus myself, before everyone sat down and ate. During the dinner the camera went around and asked people what they thought of us selected and our relationship with the Prince. There were lots of people who liked Mzia and this other girl named Rose. There were a few who commented on me about how I seemed to really fit in with the royals, which made me smile. Dinner ended and the dancing start, it was weird watching the other girls dance with Cameron. You see me walking out and then a few seconds later Cameron follows. A camera follows us out. They filmed the whole thing. I could feel the other girls glaring at me, as I tried to hide my blush. I could tell Cameron didn't know a camera followed us either; he was trying very hard to hide the blush creeping up. The video ended and Joel looked at all of us ladies.

"You ladies seem to have had some fun," He said with a wink as we all nodded. He then started asking us questions one my one.

"So Milena, did you enjoy the ball?" he asked.

"Yes" I replied trying not to blush.

" So why did you leave the Ball room."

"Well last time I saw you I'm sure you remember I tripped," he nodded, "Well it turns out that I actually sprained it so I wasn't really aloud to dance much or walk around, so I got bored and went to sit somewhere else which happened to be the garden."

"Well folks that is all the time we have for today but tune in next week for a special show."

And just like that it was done.
