Hey everyone, I am back with another part. I know I posted yesterday, but I posted again because this part is a little shorter. I hope you all enjoy, and please remember to tell me if there are any spelling mistakes or grammatical mistakes. I hope you enjoy.
I do not own the picture, I only own the characters and the story.
The 6 chosen by the village stand in front of them. The choosing will soon commence" he says. The children russel around, getting in a straight line, shoulder to shoulder. Sighing as I made this decision, I walked towards the end of the line next to Sally, Charlotte's follower. She seemed to excited to notice me. The 6 Snobs stood in front of everyone.
"Let the Choosing begin" Albert says
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"The 6 chosen by the village please state your name and age" Albert continued
"Charlotte Mcqueriel, 17 years old" says Charlotte with this stupid grin. She has on a body tight pale pink dress that reaches her knees. She had on baby blue flats. Her black hair was tied into a bun on the top of her head . Long dangely blue diamond earrings hung from her ears. Her wrists were covered in tons of bracelets, at least 10 on each. She look good, Lily in comparison looked like a girl in an oversized wedding dress.
"Henry Bashmit, age 18" boast Henry
"Claire Pumplicks, age 18" says Claire somewhat quietly. She seemed a little shy underneath her caked-up face. I mean, who would be shy in front one of the royal guards.
"David Spears, age 17" David tells Albert. David gloats. When Albert passed, he turned around and gave the other children a look saying I'm better than you all. I assumed it was mainly pointed towards me, since he stared directly at my end of the line. "Veronica Toddmound, age 16" Veronica tells Albert.Veronica is one of the only two 16 year olds. When Albert passed, she turned around and gave the other children a look saying I'm better than you all. I assumed it was mainly pointed towards me, since she stared directly at my end of the line.
"Tyler Spetson, age 16" finishes Tyler. Tyler was the other 16 year old chosen by the village. Tyler was actually one of the only Snobs who wasn't that mean to me. Of course when the 6 hung out with their followers, he was rude, but as rude as the others, and I could tell is was mainly forced. When he was alone, he was actually very nice to me. I snuck out of the house one night to sit on the hill above the wheat field, and Tyler's house is right next to ours, so he snuck out to sit with me. He has even complimented me on my hair and eyes, saying it made my unique.
"Alright, now everyone in the line behind the chosen please state your first and last name, and your age. If I choose you, step out of the line. Albert then swiftly walks down the the other end of the line, his black boots somehow making no sound as he walks across the hard stone underneath us all. I look down the line of 15 children, and Albert has made his way down to the third boy. The line was split up, so the girls were on one side and the boys on the other. Albert slowly walks down the line, till he reaches a boy I know very well. His name is Greg Henderman. He is 17 years old, and he always judges me about my height. It has made me so self conscious about the way I look. I have become more willing to accept that I won't grow anymore, but I still keep checking every few weeks. My heigh never changes, no matter how hard I try to change that fact.
"Greg Henderman, 17 years old" he says. He has this cocky grin on his face, almost certain that he would be chosen. Greg was 6'0 so he and Albert were almost the same height. ALbert was actually fairly tall for his age, he looked about 6'2. He seemed to ponder Greg, looking at the pros and cons of someone like him.
"You, I choose you" declares Albert. Almost every jaw of the boys line drops. Greg's cocky smile only increases as he walks forward from the line. Every other parent then his own gives him the death glare, most children matching. Albert doesn't seem to recognize the glares, or he just is choosing to ignore them, and he skips the other 4 boys, and comes over to the girls. Every girl, apart from me, was one of Charlotte's followers. Albert goes down the line quickly, almost if he doesn't even care about them. He is down the line in a few seconds, and before I know it, he is on Sally.
"Sally Copper, age 18" she says. There was hope in her eyes, but Alberts hard glare simply did not waver. Sally's face drops when ALbert stand in front of me.
"Willow Truelove, age 16" I say. I try to look him in the eye, hoping my voice won't waver. I wanted a fair shot at this, to get away from this miserable town.
"You, I choose you" Albert declares looking at me. I am in shock. I wanted to go to this academy, but I would have never thought he would have picked me. I slowly start to walk forward, when people start to yell.
"Why her, she is just the town freak" someone yell
"There are much prettier girls in the village, why this wanna be" calls another
"She's cursed
"She's a witch
"A freak"
"Yeah, just a freak" Their voices ring in my head.
'I'm just a freak, I'm cursed, I'm not pretty' I think. I lower my head as people start to enclose on me, Albert now standing beside me.
"That is enough" he shouts. Everyone is shocked at his sudden outburst, and back away, except to for one person.
"That is my work girl you are taking from me, I depend compensation" shouts a voice. I don't even have to look up to know Bianca and her annoying sneery voice is shouting at me.
"Did you ever pay her" Albert asks. I am shocked, no one has ever questions Bianca.
"W-Well n-no, but I feed her and gave her a place to sleep, and clothes" Bianca retorts.I had enough, me, oweing her, please. I decided to speak up.
"Bianca that's because I'm supposed to be your daughter, or step daughter to be specific" I say. I clench my hands into fists, and look up at her.
"You married my father 15 years ago, and by law decided that if anything ever happened to him you would take care of me. I can't believe you would stoop so low as to claim I am a work girl, even if you treat me as one, I am technically your daughter. You gave me a bruised apple, piece of jerky, and glass of water to eat on a good day. My bed is just a mattress with a few piece of corn in it. I don't see one reason why you should get compensation Bianca" I snap. I glare at her. I put up with Bianca fro 12 years of my life, I was done. Done being seen as a freak, and a witch, and a work girl. Murmuring broke out as I Bianca stumbled backwards.
"How dare you, I was being nice to you, and you have to go and tell everyone about the things I do to you" she screeched.
*Slap*
I hold my hand up to the now red spot on my cheek. It stung and a few tears were forming in my eyes.Bianca had hit me before of course, but never that hard.She lunges for me yet again, and I take a step back. I close my eyes waiting for the impact of her hand, but it never came.
"I think that is quite enough, we will not give you any compensation. Everyone other than the chosen 8 go back to your house, I need to have a word with these children" Albert says. I look at him, he has a grasp on Bianca's wrist, and it look pretty firm.
"Humph" says Bianca. Albert lets her go, and she walks off. I had a feeling people were going to have a different view on her now.
"Thank you" I whisper to Albert
"Your welcome, no one deserves to be treated how you were" says Albert. He smiles at me, and actual friendly smile. It reached his eyes. I give him a small smile, and he walks over to everyone else, me following behind.
