Whispered By The Stars

Chapter 8: Athena's pov



" Well kaelyn, I think that lady windsong had a point there. Lot's of things are bound to happen during this event. It was inevitable."

A blonde named marigold said.

" That doesn't concern me, for what I have my eyes on is far more important than that." Kaelyn the redhead replied with confidence.

Yes I know about the nickname but it suits her doesn't it?.

" Athena, what do you think about this whole thing." Nerissa asked. I was really thrown off by this. I wasn't expecting anyone to notice that I existed as I tried my best to be out of anyone's notice.

" Well I think what is meant to happen will happen so... yeah." I said trying to remove myself from the spotlight quickly.

"Why so quick to die down the conversation? Or you think we're pestering you?." Kaelyn the redhead inquired.

" There really isn't anything I want to say-." I said while being cut off by madame who had drawn our attention.

" Ladies, ladies eyes on me you are all here for one thing; to be selected to be a princess of Avalon. I expect utmost seriousness, good behavior and compliance. The pairing will be swift and smooth. A ball will take place and you will all get a chance to dance with the princes . It is going to be a swift dance were you will exchange words with the princes. After the dance the princes will pick who they want to be with and the rest will return to their various kingdoms. Is that understood?.

" Yes Madame Jasmyn." We all said in unison like mindless dolls. But wait are they being serious? They gathered fifty (50) women from their kingdoms and families just for a week!!?. I was quite surprised I was expecting something like a quest or something. Because this was an important position it was literally for the overall princess royal of Avalon. One of them will be the crown princess royal who will eventually become the empress of Avalon.

" Before the ball out of 50 of you only 20will be chosen for the ball and for that, you all will go through three quests. A quest of bravery, compassion and wisdom. The queen of Avalon must be brave, compassionate and wise." Now we're talking. I was expecting something like this. I was a fan of challenges and quizzes.

" So the quests begins now. It will happen at anytime so, I advice you stay on your toes and expect it at your way." Madame Jasmyn informed. We all said our acknowledgements and went our various ways for the day. I quickly looked for the library. I planned on exploring with Vera but she was still occupied by her companions so I had to do this on my own.

I got to the library quickly but as soon as I wanted to enter I heard arguments.

I left the library door and went closer to where the voices where coming from.

I saw a little crowd of 7 (seven). 5 (five) watching, and 2(two) the watched. I looked closely from the back to see what I was going on.

" I told you to get my purse and you didn't why are you so incapable of doing anything reasonable!!."

" I'm sorry please I went to the room and I didn't see it please don't h-."

" Shut up you are so pathetic who would want to be as miserable as-!."

" It's enough!." I shouted walking to speed to the middle of kaelyn the asshole and the innocent brunette she was bullying.

" All you do here is disgrace yourself time and time again. You think being disrespectful and rude is cool? Well I hate to burst your bubble it's not!. So stop causing commotions and grow some sense in that mustard seed you call a brain." I said with anger in the silence.

Kaelyn stared at me in shock as she tried to grasp what was happening. She couldn't believe someone had the effrontery to talk to her that way.

" Be careful." I said softly to brunette and walked away.

It's just been what 3( three) days since I have been here and already disliked it. I didn't like seeing someone being bullied despite the age,gender, status.. anything. I felt it was foolishness to treat you fellow person like that.

I just wanted to go home at this point but alas what could I do I was stuck here.

So I decided to wander around a bit when I so vera walking faster than usual.

" Vera how are you? Where have you been? And what have you been doing that is making walk this fast?." I asked Vera.

" Oh.. well nothing I was just hearing noises and I was nervous so I decided to come check it out. " Vera said anxiously.

" Well yeah you are right. I saw kaelyn the redhead bullying someone." I replied.

" Oh my! I hope one of you that were present where able to pull them apart. 5(five) girls are enough to pull out 2 (two) persons." Vera said with concern.

" Well I was able to stop the bullying by confronting kaelyn. I put her in her place and told her off." I said with happiness and a tinge of pride as I was able to put the bully in her place.

" Wait....Vera I never told you the number of people that were there so how did you know?."
