Chapter 32

It finally arrived. The fourth day of the competition. I didn't know if I should be glad or not. My nervous system was in a mess, I wasn't sure if we would succeed or totally fail.

"Clarissa why can't I bomb this place?" Jarvis whined and I rolled my eyes.

"It will hurt our guests and we'll get banned from the competition."

"I don't think so, it'll be really exciting and they'll be thanking me afterwards."

" For what? Giving them pain?"

"Pain is what reminds you that you're alive and you shouldn't take that for granted."

My mouth dropped open. That was wise from him and Jarvis and wise didn't go together.

"Nice concept, but we'll still lose. Let's go Jarvis. Don't forget to do your performance well."

"Fine, but I won't promise that there'll be no accidents."

I glared at him and he laughed like a maniac again. I swear, he makes me so crazy.

Out of all of my teammates he was the hardest one to deal with. The guy clearly had no morals in his life. He loves danger which therefore made him very dangerous. He makes me worry a lot.

I entered our room which was now filled with guests wearing different kinds of costumes. Who said we can't have a costume party?

Right before we sent the letters, the idea of the guests wearing costumes of disney characters came to mind when Ellaria argued with Jarvis who was laughing like a lunatic, that she wasn't going to wear a superwoman costume for their performance. I immediately told Levi to put that the guests must wear a costume of their favourite disney character in the invitations.

I wore a brown sleeveless dress with a bag of arrows slung on my back. Mulan had always been my favourite disney character.

I welcomed some of the guests and told them to feel comfortable and showed them where the food and beverages are. Levi and Vince were busy bossing around the servants and I saw Livana tasting the chocolate fountain. Princess Ellaria was beside the mountain of cookies. She was trying to be discreet into taking one but Livana slapped her hand away. We made her promise not to eat any sweets until after she performed. I know, we're evil.

The twins on the other hand were busy attending to some of the big shots in the room. Mostly the judges. Yep, I gave them that job because I wanted them to have a clean reputation. They probably weren't believing how they've become such noble gentlemen.

So far it looked like everybody was having a good time. After a couple more minutes, I decided it was time.

I cued the lights person, who nodded his head in reply before dimming the lights.
I went on the stage and a spotlight shone on me.

"Good evening everyone. I hope everyone's having a good time. I want to thank you all for coming and for following the instructions in the invitation. You all look so wonderful and fabulous. In our gratitude we would like to present a small presentation. Ladies and gentlemen please welcome the lady who sings like an angel from heaven and hell. Let's give a round of applause for Princess Vanessa."

Nessa descended and began singing "All of me" like a pro. I invited her to sing at the last minute. At first she was hesitant but had agreed in the end.
