The Chosen

Thanks to @Raymondnoodle05for the beautiful artwork of Foster!!

I rush to my room. Feeling nauseous, I sit down. Then, I lay down. Then, I move around the room, trying to just do something. Who were they? And what were they talking about?

I'm so deep in thought, that I don't hear the knock at my door. It's my maids, so I don't freak out when they come in to get me ready.

"Miss, tonight you have a very special dinner followed by a dance, so we have to dress you up very nicely."

"Ok."

I stare off into space while they get me ready, acting like a zombie the whole time.

Finally, they're done.

I'm wearing an all red, big skirt ballgown, that's off the shoulder and is floor length. My hair is up in a braided knot bun, and I'm wearing black heels -not that you could even see it. Kristen decided that for once, they were going to drown me in makeup. Not really. They just added red eyeshadow along with my black eyeliner and mascara, and bright red lipstick. Of course, I'm wearing my apple necklace, I haven't taken it off since I put it on.

Once I'm ready to go, I walk down to the foyer.

Everyone's waiting downstairs - not Rhyliegh, because she's always late.

Lindsey's wearing a long fitted purple dress and Penny is wearing a short yellow cupcake dress.

Overall, we all look super cute.

We each compliment each other and head down.

"So," I say, "does anyone know what's so special about this dinner?"

"Um, I think there's some other royal family coming to visit," Penny states.

"That makes sense," I reply.

We walk the rest of the way in silence.

Our guards are at the door, waiting for us to take us in.

"This must really be special," I say.

Neveni comes up to me, and I link my arm with his.

"You ready Miss Foster?" he asks me.

"As ready as I'll ever be."

The dinner was super normal, we ate the good food that the servants made, and we talked. A lot. The special guests were, like Penny guessed, another royal family from a different country. This family was only the king and queen. They didn't have any kids.

After dinner, we were lead into the same room that we were introduced to each other, and Rhyliegh made her speech. Then, someone turned on some music and the party started. It wasn't just us and the royal families, it was maids, servants, and a few guards. Everyone was dressed up so nicely, you wouldn't believe that some people were poor here.

I started off by myself, in the corner, with a glass of punch. Then, Neveni asked me to dance. So, we danced for like four songs. Then, Lindsey and Penny invited me to dance with them.

We danced for a long time dance through and around people in the dark. We were completely in the dark, besides a few colored lights moving around, and a tiny disco ball with a bunch of glitter and diamonds around it. It was shining around, but not showing much light. The D.J. was ok, he played normal songs for a dance, like the Chicken Dance, Macarena, the Cha Cha Slide, and much more dance songs, including some slow dance songs and some classical music, that you could also dance to.

After a while of dancing, we all went over to the food table, grabbed a snack, and sat down at an empty table. Soon after that, Penny left to keep dancing. Then, I got a tap on the shoulder.

"You look beautiful, Foster," Alkai says.

"Thank you!"

"Would you like to dance with me?"He says.

I look at Lindsey, asking with my eyes if it's ok to go dance with him. Her eyes tell me to go.

"Ok."

Not so ironically, the song that starts playing, is a slow dance song.

We dance for the rest of the night. At the end of the ball, I walk away to leave, but he pulls me back to kiss me.

"Wow, ok," I say.

He smirks, then winks, and says. "Ok, I have to go love. Goodbye."

He kisses me again, then leaves.

I smile and head back to my room.
