The one

Prologue

I couldn't believe it. He took that whipping just for me. I just realized I loved him. The King hates me. The whole country probably thinks I am way too stupid to be queen. I lost Maxson's trust. Maxon may not love me any more. Now I am a real part of the selection and I am going have fight, watch my mouth, gain his trust, get the king to like me, and hope Maxon doesn't eliminate me. But I have to. I can't live without him. It is either win or lose it all.

Chapter one

I was taking a walk in the gardens. When a guard came up to me. He gave me a note:

Dear America,

After what you did on the report, I realize that know you need my lessons more than anything. That is if you want to have a chance of being Queen. If you still want my lessons which I assume you now desperately need. Actually, I know u desperately need. i am still surprised you are still here. Please follow these directions to my room immediately.

Sincerely,

Silvia

Even though she just insulted me saying I wasn't fit to be queen, I wasn't mad. She was right after all. So I decided to go. I followed the directions to her room and knocked on the door. "Come in" a voice came from the inside. I walked in and was immediately surprised on what I saw. There standing in front of me was Celeste.

"Well, well if it isn't number five." Celeste said. "You tricked me!" I spat. "oh just sit down!" she said. "Really?" I questioned then I walked towards the door. She immediately stepped in front of me then snarled at me. "I am giving you a choice five. Either leave or watch your back" I stepped past her with her words still ringing in my ear. As I walked down the halls all I could imagine was her slitting my throat with a knife knowing that if I got in her way, she would do it without hesitation.

Chapter two

At lunch that day all, I could think about was Celeste's threat. I knew that she was smart and I was her next victim. I really wished I knew what she was planning on doing. I was cut from my thoughts when Maxon stood up. "I have an announcement to make. After lunch the queen would like you all to report to the Women's room for information on your next challenge." Then he sat back down and started talking to Kriss who was right next to him. I was to busy trying to finish my food so I could go down to the Women's room.

@@@@@@@

I sat down on the couch in front of the TV and talked quietly with Elise while we were waiting for the Queen to come and tell us our next challenge. We in a conversation o=about New Asia when Kriss walked up to us. "Hey guys" she said. "did you notice that Maxon has been so happy lately. "I wonder if that is because I have spent so much time with him lately?" We both stared at her. "Whoops did I just say that out loud?" she asked with a giggle. I couldn't believe it. She used to be so nice, yet now she was a total snob. Celeste must have manipulated her. Kriss was about to say something else when the queen walked in. "Hello" she greeted us. We all stood up to bow. But she stopped us"Please sit down ladies. One of you will end up being my daughter in law. We don't need to be so respective any more. "Thank goodness! It is hard to respect someone who I know will be my future husband's mother" Celeste whispered to us. Kriss, Elise, and I glared at her and she smirked. The Queen didn't seem to notice. "Ok, as you know you all will be given a new challenge. Before I tell you what it is, let me give you a heads up that based on this challenge, at the end their will be another elimination at the end of it." We all gasped and started talking about what the challenge would be eliminated. "Settle down girls, settle down. Anyway, for this challenge you are going to socialize with your people as a queen would. To be a real queen you must be good with you people. So for the next week you will be able to travel to any cities you want to build fan base. At the end of this week, everybody will vote for there favorite and whoever has the least votes will be eliminated. You will be video taped also. So the prince will watch them and will be able to vote for one of you also. His vote counts for 40%. Tonight, I want you turn in a paper of the times and days you would like to go to any of the cities. That way you have a ride and we will be able to give the cities a heads up for you coming. You will start tomorrow and can continue until Saturday. Everybody will vote on Sunday and the results will be announced one the Report after Sunday. Good luck ladies" and then she left. Everybody started talking excitedly, but I stayed quite. Would everybody be still mad at me after the report? Would I be eliminated?
