"I know," a hand gently caressed her cheek." However you must, and if you are not chosen you will return home. Although, if you are, Dakota, do not forget who you are or where you came from. Those girls will do anything to change themselves in order to win favour over the prince. Do not lie, do not cheat, stay true to yourself and show integrity. You will be going to the capital and the capital is not the west. Their ways are not our ways and there will be to you many strange things. Remember your culture, remember your identity, remember who you are."
"I promise I will." She swore and took her wisdom to heart.
Her mother kissed her forehead." Take care my child, I wish you the best of luck."

The Thing Called Love
"Don't look at me like that. I promise I will make you feel like a queen, when living here." He said looking straight through me. He came closer and tried to kiss me. I turned my head making him to kiss my cheek instead. "One day you will kiss me. You will learn to love me too and learn to forget about Dakota Grey." He whispered taking a piece of my hair and tucking it behind my ear. "I will never love a monster like you." I said. "I have a feeling you will." He said, giving me a one sided smirk. "You don't know me." I said. He chuckled. "My love, of course I do." He said. "No you don't, we just met." I replied. "So many things you need to learn." He said playing with my hair. "Get your hands off me!" I said pushing them back. He gave me a devilish smile and got on top of me. "You don't disrespect your future husband! You will be a good girl and listen to everything I say! Is that clear?!" He growled. I kept my mouth shut and didn't dare to look at him. He grabbed my face with his hands and forcefully kissed me.

The month they had spent together had felt like a lifetime, and now it was being ripped away from them. "I'm gonna miss you," Caleb whispered, his breath lingering on Aaron's neck. Aaron nodded, his hand resting in Caleb's shaggy, blond hair. "Me too," he answered, his voice coming out just as soft. "Thank you for a great summer," Caleb tried his hardest to smile, blinking away any tears that threatened to fall. And in that moment the world seemed to pause.
