Coming for the crown

Chapter 3; The competition

Elena's Pov
A few days had passed now and somehow I was still in the competition. We were down to the last five girls, myself and four others. We've all heard horrible rumours of the fates of the other girls. There was world flowing around everywhere that families back home had been slaughtered, that some of the girls were killed or thrown in jail. None of it was good news but then again we didn't know if any of it was true. I tried to not let it phase me as I got dressed for yet another stage of the competition they had for us.

There had been all kinds of trials and contests within this occasion for the higher ups to judge us on, I think they called themselves The Traditionalists but I can't really remember. I made my way to the main room where we always met for any of this stages. There was one girl who didn't partially take much of a liking to me since we met at the first trial. Her name was Theresa and she had a dark complexion, she was taller than me and she came from a very wealthy background. She thought she was destined to win this competition and become queen. She always narrowed her eyes at me and gave me death stares, she would barge past me and try to trip me up. Theresa thought she was better than everyone here.

Today stage consisted of being taught the three main rules and a traditional dance. The three main rules were 1) don't speak to a royal unless spoken to first. 2) never bring up your old life and things from back home and never say that life back home was better than here. Finally rule 3) Remember your place, everything you say and do will come back at you.

Next was the dance, I had experience with the Miss Mystic Falls competition back home which I was runner up in to my best friend Caroline and the constant decade dances we always had a school. Not to mention I used to be head cheerleader on the squad until my parents died and Caroline took the top spot before I eventually quit the team.. but anyway learning this dance should be a piece of cake.

*Later that day*

By the end of the day there was word a lot of the remaining girls had be sent home. I was in my room preparing for bed as I heard a knock at the door. I allowed entrance and was greeted with a visit from The Traditionalists. The seemed quite chipper and had a smile on their face. They congratulated me and I was confused for a split second. Could it be? I mean surely I haven't..

I stayed silent as they announced that they had chosen me as the winner of The Draw Day competition! They told me to get a good nights sleep and prepare myself because tomorrow was the day I would meet the royal family!
