ON HOLD
18 years ago, when Queen Daphne of France heard about her husband's plans for her, she fled from her country, along with three guards and her best friend.
Because she stood in his way in completely ruling France, he wanted her dead.
So when she left, he told his kingdom that his wife had gotten horribly ill and had died a few hours later - and they believed him because there was no reason not to.
But secretly, Fredrick was sending small search troops after Daphne for 8 entire years, planning to kill her on sight.
What he didn't know then,was that Daphne was pregnant with his child the entire time.
And that child, by the way, was me.
When I, Freya ,was about 7 and a half years old, the troops somehow located us and we barely could escape.
Not all of us did, anyway.
My mum and one of the guards were killed in front of my eyes.
Chloé, mum's best friend, decided that there was only one place where we would be safe: Illéa.
Now, 10 years later, we've been trying to live a normal life in our small farm in St.George. And we succeeded, kind of.
But then the Selection came.
Chloé thought there was no safer place for me than behind the palace walls and that I had to at least try and apply.
Even if I didn't understand her point and really didn't care about Prince Matthew, you couldn't disagree with Chloé.
And what chance had I to get picked?
None.
So I filled out the form.
But I had no idea what I was signing up to.
Hey guys,this is my first fanfic ever so please give it a shot!
(And btw I know I suck at summaries.)
All rights beside the plot go to Kiera Cass!
The guards grabbed me, forcing me to enter the room I didn't even want to be in. I didn't want to be here. I didn't want to be captured. And most of all I didn't want to see this mendacious pharaoh. I hated this man! Absolutely hated him. His eyes filled with intense hate as he stared at me. He looked at me with a bored expression on his face. "I thought I told you to bring me the rebel leader, not some vacuous little girl." Anger started boiling inside me. The guards were about to respond but I interrupted them. "Why Pharaoh! What makes you believe I am not the rebel leader?" He looked at me annoyingly."Well for one thing you're a girl" I was completely enraged! "How sexist! You think that just because I'm not a man I can't be a leader! People like you disgust me! It sickens me that I even looked up to you as a child! I idolized you! Followed you everywhere! Thought-" I quickly covered my mouth realizing I had said to much. This isn't how I imagined the situation when I finally saw him again. I couldn't control my anger around him. The pharaoh's board expression turned into a more interested one. "You talk as if we have met before but I have absolutely no clue who you are! By all means I'm interested.... What are you called?" This was really bad! If I told him my name he would kill all of my comrades too. I had to lie... For their sake. "Neith..." The Pharaoh's eyes quickly snapped to me. "Let me rephrase my previous question... Tell me your FULL name and don't you dare give a fake one either or I will slaughter every single member of the rebel army... Even family members who weren't even involved will be killed." It was over! I couldn't let him kill all of those people. I guess my time was up now. He cornered me in to a wall. I was stuck with no other way out. "Safiya...Safiya Zahra." The Pharaoh's smile instantly turned into a frown. "That's impossible!" Well I think its safe to say he remembers me. "I was the one who killed you."
