Chapter 19
A forced myself down the hall as I kept stumbling. My slippers could only carry me so far and I was most likely sleep deprived.
"Lady Dormer are you okay," the guard asked for the hundredth time.
"Yes, I'm good," I lied back. Finally we reached the safe room. Everyone piled in and it was déjà vu.
Who would be gone after this attack?
Some girls are more fragile than others. For example take someone like Grace and put her beside Piper. There's a big difference. But Grace wouldn't leave, she's a fighter. Ilena. She seemed pretty convinced Ahren doesn't like her, but she really like him; who wouldn't. As I think about I bet there are girls just in it for the crown. Some who all they want is the royalty, the fame, and most of all the money. I can think of a few.
"Lady's we have letters," Someone says, waking me from my daydream. I grab mine and sit back down. I tear the first one open and I'm surprised to see who wrote it.
Dear Kathleen,
I know that I'm not really the one that's supposed to be writing to you, but I just wanted to say that I met a girl who's sister is in the selection. Alyssa Cambers?
What!!
Anyway just wanted to tell you that and I miss you.
Caleb
Out of all people why Alyssa? Is Caleb dates Alyssa sister and they get married that means...we'll be sisters!
"What the heck!" I hear the devil herself shriek. "You," she say pointing at me. I ignore her as she rambles on.
The next letter is from my dad.
Dear Kath,
I hope you are having a great time at the palace. I am beyond proud of you and I just want you too know that I believe in you. Don't let yourself down because of a number, it means nothing.
But it doesn't.
Your mother and I miss you so much and so does everyone else. We all love you so much and wish you the best.
Love, Dad
His letter makes me think. Is it really just a number? No. It's not. Our caste is everything. It's what we do and what we live like. I know he's anti-caste. He hates the system and the way Illéas ran. The last letter is from Kylie.
Dear Kath,
So how cute is the prince(s). You have to make it to the Elite so I can meet Kaden. Oh also does the royal family have any hot cousins I can hook Kendall up with. James has been bugging her out if her mind. So what about you. Have you kissed the prince more than once, how many dates have you gone on? Are you a favourite. I saw these magazines and the polls were so wrong, you should if been at the top. I'm so jealous. Do you think I could pass as a 16 year old? Anyway I have to go now, but please respond soon.
Love and miss you,
KyliexoxoWhen I tore my eyes off the paper I realized I was the only one awake, except for the royals. Ahren was looking at me and smiling. He walked over and sat beside me.
"Who's that one from?" He asked.
"My sister Kylie, she's crazy."
"Can I read it?" At first I thought he was kidding, but the look in his eyes told me he was serious.
"Sure, you nosey boy."
He read the letter and starting laughing.
"Your sister is in love with Kaden?" He said through laughs.
"I told you."
"Oh god, Kaden come over here." The young prince came over.
"Oh no, please no."
"I found you a soul mate."
He read the letter and looked dumbstruck.
"Who is this?" He asked.
"It's my sister," I replied, now also laughing. "Isn't she adorable."
"Do you have a picture?" He asked.
"Ooh Kaden's got a crush," Ahren butt in.
"I have one in my room."
"I'll see it later," He mumbled.
After Kaden left Ahren started laughing again.
"Shhh your gonna wake up everyone in this entire room."
"Sorry mother," He joked.
"So Kylie and Kaden, huh," He said, turning his loud laughs into chuckles.
"Yah, they need to meet. My sister would freak if she heard about this." Ahren eyes lit up for a second and he grabbed paper and a pen from where his stuff
"It is me, Prince Ahren. You can probably tell by my magnificent handwriting. I would like to bring it to you attention that my Brother, Kaden has noticed your liking to him. Blame the wonderful Kathleen, not me." He noticed my look and quickly added "just kidding if was me." He thought for a moment then brand the pen back to the paper. "He has asked your sister for a picture of you and I think he has taken a liking. For further information ask your sister.
Sincerely,
Ahrenp.s tell your mother your sister has been poorly behaved, just kidding.
P.p.s could you send me a picture of Kendall? Also just kidding."
He noticed my look and throws his arms up in innocence.
"She's gonna love you."

"Can you please drop this by Prince Kaden's room?" I asked Charlotte after we got out of the safe room.
"Kaden? Kathleen are you cheating?"
"Maybe." 10 minutes later the prince showed up at my door.
"This is Kylie," I said pointing to a recent picture of her. His eyes got wide.
"She's-she's p-pretty," He stuttered.
Kaden's got a crush, on my sister.
(Long) A/N: By the way James is Kandall's ex-boyfriend.
