As I walked into the mansion, I could feel the fresh breeze flow through an unknown source, I could see the gold, silver and other precious stones that were used to desire the place, although the colour of the place was mostly white and gold but the mansion was magnificent, I walked forward and found that I was in a very big hall with a beautiful silver chandelier hanging on the top of the hall.

To the side was a large fire place that was not yet lit, it was designed I a way that it looked like the most modern thing ever made, there was many designed bulb producing light in the already sunlit day. Everywhere was magnificent and spacious, there was many paintings on the wall, and also pictures of the royals were placed on the wall to, this really was an important place for important people, I was led by a guard to a hall that was covered with a designed red rug, and a golden sparking chandelier, and above me was a higher ground that looks like a place an alter in a church should be kept, although I knew that the person who will be standing there will be an announcer or informant that will tell us more of the dos' and don't of the whole ceremony, I already feel bored with the whole rules thingy it infuriate me to see that this common humans will be giving me rules, but the rational part of my mind tells me that this will be how it will be going for some time, although I seriously will be a trouble maker- the best thing for me to do is to make my day in the human world worth it.... I'm  really going to be a pain in the *** to those girls, but first of all I will make sure I am retained, I will make sure I will be part of the twenty chosen girls.

Although the hall was designed and equipped, it still looked empty, maybe that was due to the fact that the place is so large it could contain hundreds of people.

In the hall I met about thirty already present girls, some were chatting between themselves why some where strong faced, already prepared for the ceremony/elimination.

In two hours time, all the 100 girls that were called out were present, and the hall was still not stuffy, it was actually free, it was already getting to sun down, I sat on my own focusing on nothing as all those two hours passed by, I observed some of the girls, and I also tried to make a plan on how to steal the siren's stone putting in the possibilities that I might not b chosen among the twenty girls left.

And then a woman entered the hall and there was silence, she was tall, she was strong and she was blond, she walked with confident and she stood demanding attention, she wore a dark flowing red gown and some silver heels, her hair were arranged in a tight bun that was placed at the nape of her neck.

She wore a well shaped silver earring and silver necklace to match, the silver necklace was a heavy and beautiful one. She looked like a trophy standing there with her nose up in pride and confidence, she was pale and beautiful, her makeup was perfect and on her lips were painted blood red t match her clothes, she really appealing to the eye. Standing there was Rebecca the woman who escorted me to the palace.

She began "my name is Rebecca Anthony, and I will be here to tell you the rules in this ceremony". She said

She continued, "1. You should not be caught fighting with your fellow members 2. You are to be polite and well mannered 3. You are to learn how to act like a queen and become one 4. You are not to let the public eye see your inabilities. There will be many more after the main ceremony, so now you are to go to your rooms which we will assign to you, you meal for the night will be delivered to each and every one of you, it will be a light and nutritious meal, and after that I advise that you immediately go to bed to avoid looking disorganised by tomorrow being the day of the selection. Have a nice night and good luck" Rebecca finished, as she was about to walk out the stage I could feel her eye slowly searching for something or someone and her eyes found me and she winked. And then I knew that if Rebecca was the one coordinating this entire affair then I will be able to get away with the little trouble I will be causing and I smirked for the first time in a long while.

I was led to my room, I did not take much time to look around but I knew that all the rooms accommodating the girls were identical.

In thirty minutes my food was served to me by a servant, I pleasantly told her thank you but I did not touch the food, I was still planning what to do and what not to do.
