Bad Girl Turned Princess #Wattys2016

Interview #2

Now that we have an idea of what to expect from an interview with Dorian. He's all about the shock factor and we ought to be ready.

I didn't take as long getting ready, didn't even smoke beforehand. I was feeling pretty good and if life hasn't taught me anything else, it's taught me that there is always a calm before the storm.

We all filed in to be interviewed just like before. I looked over to the chair Robyn once sat in now being occupied by anorher contestant.

My chest tightens with sorrow knowing I was decieved by someone I considered a friend. Why wouldn't she tell me?

"You'll be joining her soon mouse." Adalia whispers between her smile as the cameras pan over our face.

"I mean this in the kindest way Adalia... Go fuck yourself." I hiss.

She doesn't have time to retort before Dorian begins speaking. I tune him out for the most part, it mainly being about the girls who have left.

He goes into there being a traitor among us who was eliminated and how gracious Addison is for not having her killed.

"I couldn't find it in my heart to kill her, some of the other girls have a bond with this one. Doing that would leave a few of them heartbroken and resentful towards me. That I can't have." He looks over to me trying to convey that he's speaking specifically to me.

"I forgive you." I mouth. He relaxes in his chair breaking eye contact smirking.

"How kind of you Prince. Enough of the sad stuff! Let's get into the top ten." Dorian cheers flipping through his question cards.

"First up is Adalia."

"Watch and learn bitch." She sneers stomping on my foot on her way by.

I didn't care for her dumb response to each question. She didn't even make sense the asshole. Somehow every answer she gave revolved around herself.

Just like last time I'm the last to be interviewed. Starting to think he likes to have me last.

"Karina the carrier of secrets, how have you been?"

"Still here so I can't complain." I shrug giving him a wink.

"Glad to see you still here, so how was meeting your potential mother and father in law?"

Well he is going straight for the jugular here, my potential mother and father-in-law. He didn't call them that to anyone else.

"Wow um, it was nerve wracking but I survived."

"Of course you did! You're gorgeous, funny and honest. A recipe for likability."

"Thank you, so nice of you to say."

"You really made an impression on them Miss Karina, so much so the Queen left a message for you."

"Shut up, no way!" I giggle slapping his knee.

He chuckles, "Yes way let's have a look."

The room goes dark as a monitor comes on showing Queen Giada sitting poised in a chair. The girls all gasp a slew of shushes ringing out.

"Hello contestants, Dorian, Karina of Persephone. I'd like to take a moment to say congratulations to all of you for making it this far. I also would like to take this opportunity to say Happy birthday Karina. What? You didn't think you'd keep that secret from us did you?"

I slump in my chair hiding my face laughing nervously. I was planning on pretending it wasn't happening. Now that everyone knows and I received a message about it I want to bury my head in the sand.
