Our Selection

Chapter 5

The week after I was Selected was hectic. I had been measured and weighed. I had to fill out thousands of forms, I didn't have any work to do, which made me feel bad because that meant Alex and Luca had to work harder to get us fed... I refused to eat anything that I hadn't helped earn so the rest of them could have a little more to eat... They were going to need it after I was gone. I hadn't spoken to Alex or my Father since I had been Selected even though I tried so hard to make them feel better about me leaving. I had to go, they knew I didn't want to, they just couldn't accept that yet. Luca and Max were completely the opposite from them, they spent every free moment they could with me and it made me appreciate them a little more. Without them, I couldn't of got through this. I didn't want to go in the first place and being ignored by Dad and Alex made everything worse. I was cutting some vegetables when a loud knock came from the door, I opened it and wasn't suprised to see Arthur and his servants standing their expectantly. He looked me up and down and tutted
"What have I told you about taking care of yourself and keeping yourself healthy?" He says making no effort to hide the obvious annoyance in his voice and he raises an eyebrow. I shrug and step aside so he can come in
"Wolf... Please this is the last day before you leave and you only need to fill out this one form" He says tiredly and hold out a piece of paper so thick and smooth that I feel like I'm doing something wrong by holding it. I read it once over and he hands me a pen and I start to fill it out:

Do you promise to be faithful to the Prince? Yes

Are you apart of any kind of rebel movement? No

Have you had a sexual relationship before? No

At this question I raise my eyebrow at Arthur and he just shrugs. I fill out the rest of the form and hand it back to him and he orders his servants to feed me some foul tasting medicine to give me the back the many nutrients and vitamins that I have lost from the past week as a cause of not eating. When they are done he takes me outside and speaks to me privately
"Now... There are a few things that you must know. If the Prince demands something of you, you shall deliver immediately... No matter what the request. Do you understand?" He says seriously and I feel something turn in my stomach making me want to throw up.
"I understand" I say quietly afraid that I might vomit and he dismisses me with a wave of his hand
"I shall see you tomorrow... Oh and please dress nice" He smirks and gets into the back of a sleek, black car which drives off as soundlessly and menacingly as it did when it arrived...
