UNFOCUSED DANCE

" 1 and 2 and 3, again! 1 and 2...",

Here I am, for a dozen time trying to learn to sway my hips, " you need to dance in a way that's memorising so you can capture the sultans Attention", Madam Laila says, with an annoyed look on her face, I'm not the type of person who likes dancing, nor I was ever interested. " does it look like I want to capture his attention, not in a million years", I mutter under my breath, " you really need to lose this temper of yours, it will get you killed", madam Laila states as sways her hips, forcing me to follow her. " at this point, I rather get killed then dance in-front of that murder", I reply, trying to follow her steps, Madam Laila suddenly stops what she's doing and steps closer to me, " Maya, you are owned by Sultan  now, whether you like it or not. Like I said before, to Jeon Jung-kook be able to win in this palace you have to be smart, it's not about who you like and who you don't like, we have seen many girls come into the palace, who ended up leaving the palace grounds dead. You hate the sultan and his family, then be smart and get your revenge", madam Laila says in a quiet voice, her eyes focused as she squeezes my shoulders, " get revenge? How do I do that, I'm nothing nor anything in this palace", I replay back, before she replies, the doors swing open and madam fahmi barges in with her walking stick, " is the girl done, time is up", she states as she plunged her walking stick to the ground, " yes yes she's done, let's go Maya", madam Laila reply's as she grabs my arm pushing me out the door,

Get revenge? Yes that's right! I will get my revenge, but how? I need to pay back what The sultan has done to family and hometown, I will let not die alone, I need to think of something!

I follow madam Fahmi and Madam Laila down the corridors, until we made it back where the ceremony is held, the area is decorated beautifully, everyone dressed in beautiful dresses and garments. All the girls seemed happy and excited for the ceremony to the begin, I make my way to towards Jasmine, her back is turned the other directions as she chats to one of the girls, she is dressed in a baby blue dress, her hair tied up in a bun. I'm pleased that they gave her something much prettier then her old dress, " Jasmine!", I call out, Jasmine turns around as soon as she hears my voice, her eyes widen as she looks at me up and down, " oh my god! Maya you look so beautiful!", she exclaims, as she goes in for a hug, " I was worried about you, I'm glad you are safe", she says as we pull away from the hug, " I'm glad you are ok, you look beautiful!", I reply, " Maya you look gorgeous!", she says,

We sat down on the cushions, our legs was
Killing us from all the standing, " How was sultana Salma? Was she nice?", I asked as I pick up a sliced apple from the plate, " yeah she actually was, she seemed quite alright, I didn't really see her or talk to her, as we are not allowed. I was mostly in the dressing room, trying to sort out her dresses and things", Jasmine says as she plucks a grape and pops it in her mouth, " oh that's good then, I went through a embarrassing moment", I say, Jasmine puts down the grapes she's holding and looks directly at me, " so before right..",

" Behold introducing mother sultana Maryam", A voice suddenly announces, forcing the whole room to stand on there feet and bow, Jasmine and I quickly look at each other and stand up, The sultana slowly walks past us towards her designated seat, followed by Sultana Salma and others who I don't know. Once she passes, we slowly sit back down, though our eyes never left looking at sultana Maryam, she was very beautiful, I haven't seen anyone with features like hers, she had blackish hair, her crown decorated in green and red diamond jewels that illuminated the room. Her garment dress coloured in silk green decorated with gold and diamond Jewels. She stunningly attractive and you can sense the power she holds, without doubt she's defiantly the queen mother.

" is she Sultan Jeon Jung-kook mother?", Jasmine asks, her eyes too is stuck on her. " yes, that's the mother of all sultanas and sultana", replies Madam Laila, popping out of nowhere, " who is also the most powerful sultana in the century, longest running sultana, as well as no sultana ever came close to her power and wealth", madam Laila says with so much admiration, " oh wow, she's that powerful, she's also stunningly beautiful", " Jasmine says, " indeed she is", madam Laila says before suddenly dispersing again, if she's the most powerful sultana, why cant she keep her son in check?

" if Sultana Maryam is that beautiful imagine how sultan Jeon Jung-kook will look like?", whispers the girl sitting in-front of us, making all the girls giggles, " he is admiringly handsome, his face is a work of art, to bad you girls won't get to see him", states Nesrine with her dirty smirk on her face, she then turns around, and walks towards Sultana Maryam, she bows and kisses the queen mothers hand, before ordered to sit down next to sultana Salma, " oh she can sit with them?", ask one of the girls, " yeah did you forget she's Sultan Jeon Jung-kook personal consort? Once you are favoured you are basically favoured among the sultanas", states one of the girls sitting across,

Interesting, I wish I can take that smirk if that bitch face, then we will see who is favoured. " Maya its time to go", madam Laila suddenly says popping out of nowhere again, motioning for me to stand up, I quickly stand up, I totally forgot about my dance, making my heart beat faster again, I quickly wave to Jasmine and follow madam Laila and the other four girls out the doors and into the corridors again.

" ok so each girl will have to wear this coloured chain vile over your  faces, which will only show your eyes, each colour will represent you, this will allow sultan  Jeon Jung-kook to differentiate between all of you", madam Laila states as she hands each one of us a coloured vile, mine a gold chain jewellery , I slowly place it over my face, as it covers my nose and lips, only showcasing my eyes. " your body and eyes should be the main focus of your dance, if the sultan likes you, he will throw the selected colour that matches your vile towards you, that's means your lucky, you will be lucky for the night", madam Laila explains as she smirks and winks, what the hell does that mean, madam Laila then goes on by saying, " I will number each of you from one to five, each of you must go in order as each girl has around five minutes to dance", madam Laila then starts numbering the girls in order" and you are five Maya", she says as she finishes counting, " and remember if the sultan puts his hands up, it means you have to stop dancing for the next girl to come", madam Laila continues as she demonstrates with her hands, " alright, I think you all are ready, madam Fahmi will call out each number, number one get ready as you will be going first", madam Laila states

My heart is beating so fast, I never felt my heart beat this fast, it feels like it's going to jump out of my chest, not because I'm going to dance in-front of sultan Jeon Jung-kook ,no ew

It's because I want to be selected, no not because of what you are thinking, I'm going to kill him. This will be my revenge for what he did to me and my family, madam Laila is right, revenge is the answer. I sat quietly in the room, nervously playing with my fingers, as I watch each girl gets called out by madam fahmi, all of the girls seemed excited, why? For what reason, sometimes I don't even understand why, right now is not the time to think about the girls excitement,

I just need to find something, a weapon of some sort. Right now, I'm the last one left in the room, I slowly look around trying to find a sharp object of some sort that will come in handy, anything that can pierce his heart, I learnt from my father who loves hunting, the faster way to kill is straight to the heart. Which exactly what I will do, my plan is to get selected and be left alone with him, once his guard is down, then bang I quickly attack, piercing his heart, as I watch him die in the painful way possible.

While searching the room, in the corner of my eyes I see a object shimmering, I slowly walk towards it, it looks like a decoration that has been placed in a box, it was silver, I have seen this in the markets back home, it shaped  like a chopsticks, yet it felt heavy. I picked one up, it felt heavy in my hands, it was sharp in the end and pointy. This will do, The problem is how should I hide it, so they don't suspect a thing. I quickly rush to the mirror that's hang in the wall, I examined my body, I notice that on my hair I had a flower hairpin tugged into my hair to keep my hair secure in a low bun, I quickly take out the flower hairpin and exchange it with the  silver chopstick thingy that I just found and place it into my hair, securing my hair into a perfect bun, i let down go string of hair fall on my face, so they don't suspect a thing, making it look like it's an accessory on my hair,

" Maya, it's your turn now, the lucky last, get ready!  ", Suddenly madam Laila voice echoes behind me, Making me jump, I close my eyes and take a deep breath,

I'm ready more then ever now I think to myself, I slowly lift up my dress and proceed to work towards madam Laila,

Here we go as I step in to the ceremony room...
