The day has come it was my birthday I went to the barn to say my goodbyes to Dawson, I groomed him I fed him and I stayed with him till there was a knock at the door.
"We are here for Ruby Weston, she has come of age to be brought out and to stand before the guards to see if she will be chosen to serve at the castle as a maid for King Winchester and his sons." said the voice at the door.
"She's coming." my mom says.
As I make my way out of the barn slowly I noticed the crate with the other girls where they were bringing me and I felt like it was going to be like that scene in Pirates of the Caribbean when they take Jack Sparrow to get killed. When I was in the crate I was worried about if I was going to make it out of all those girls. I was having doubts about being the girl that gets picked from my village. Or even out of all the villages. When we arrived to the entrance of the castle we were all filed out like cows at the slaughterhouse. We all were scared for our lives to be picked or not. while we were in our line to be picked to go on the boat or the castle the guard started sending girls to the boat then he got to me there where no girls picked to go to the castle. He told me"why did you even think standing in this line that you would be picked to go to the castle"
"I... I don't know." I said then there was a voice in the back.
"Don't be like that I'm choosing this one to stay in the castle" said the undercover prince. No one knew that he was there and that it was him. At this moment I was relieved that he was there because if he hadn't been then I would be on a boat to never return home. They put me on the back of the horse that the man that chose me was on and rode me to the castle. Why me I wondered why did I out of all the girls get picked. When we arrived to the castle the man that was on the horse with me ran inside the castle with out being noticed, it was weird. I jumped off of the horse and the King showed me to my building where I stayed. When I was finally settled in there was a knock on my door.
"Hey you must be the new girl from one of the villages. I'm Veronica, this is Betty, Jessica, Morgan, Grace and Sarah." the girl out side my door.
" Yeah I am." I said with worry.
"We can show you what we do and after we are done you can eat with us and after we can show you around." Veronica established.
"Well only if you want us to." Said a voice behind her.
"It would be amazing if you could, thank you so much." I said.
"Okay fallow us." They tell me as I fallow them. They take me around the castle while we do the chores and soon enough they told us we were done. we had been working for 8 hours that's it and they payed us. It was not what I expected, I thought it was working all day no money rags and hardly any food-well that's what it was like in Cinderella-I thought they didn't do anything else besides clean and do as their told.
It had been two days before the party so I asked Veronica "What do we do on the nights of the party?"
she responds "oh silly we go dress shopping, the King takes us to the dress shop in town and then he pays for our dress no matter how much it is. its going to be amazing we are all going tomorrow after we prepare for the party and set everything in the ballroom, dinning-room, and party-room."
"No way really?! That amazing. I cant wait." I said
It was the next morning. I had so much on my brain it was a mix of good and bad. I went to the castle early to have an early start on the party room. I was almost done when the other girls showed up and we worked on the the ballroom and dinning room. With all of us working together it didn't take much time we were done before we knew it.
"Time to go to try on dresses girls." Veronica said.
"Yay!" we all cheered.
The King was waiting for us in the limo. "Welcome my lady's are you ready to try on and pick your dance dresses."
When we are on our way we had the chance to see the whole town. The countryside, the mini villages, the town houses, the shops and the town people. Before we knew it we were at the dress shop. There was only one problem I am very decisive at picking anything, so i don't know what kind of dress to wear.
"We have been here for along time already you guys really haven't picked out your dresses you look amazing in all of the dresses you guys have tried on."
"We are waiting on you what kind of dress are you going to wear?" They all asked me.
But to be fair I said" I don't want to wear a dress I'm not the person that likes to wear dresses."
"We can help you pick the right one out" they said, and they did they found the perfect dress it was a nice black coloured dress with a nice turquoise blue designs all over it and it was not fancy it was just my style it was perfect.
"Now lets get back we have a busy day tomorrow we have a ball to attend." They said cheerfully to try to cheer me up. When we arrived home I went straight to the barn.
