Hey, usually Mia would write here, but I am today, since she's still thinking and because I really wanted to. The song is Everything, by Chester See.

Bri

"Mia, Alice, Stacy, Bri, Leah, and Livy." An Accondelite says, informing us on who was chosen.

"I-I'm chosen?" I ask, weakly.

"Yeah. So was I..." Leah answers, stronger than I am.

Leah and I stand up and walk over to the door. There is a long hall on the other side.

"Hi girls! My name is Mia!" A perky girl says, walking over.

"Bri." I inform.

"I'm Leah." Leah says, "How old are you?"

"I'm fourteen." Mia says

"Wow, they're getting younger and younger. It's wrong." Leah says, but she's not as surprised as she was when she met me, "Bri is too."

"Awesome.".Mia says.

I stay silent, listening to Mia chatter about an ancient book called The Hunger Games as we walk down the hall.

"Seems interesting." I say, getting a little into the conversation.

"Yeah. I've read it so much." Mia gushes.

I start to notice doors popping up.

Her bubbly chatter is cut off by the princes stepping out in front of us.

One of them catches my eye and grins, winking in my direction.

Two of the girls around us sigh.

Leah giggles, knowing that he didn't wink at them.

"Looks like somebody has a favorite." Leah whispers.

The one next to him starts talking.

"Okay, girls, the rooms around you are yours. Pick one." He says.

"Luke, we didn't introduce ourselves." the darker one says.

"Oh, yeah, sorry."

"I'm Michael." The one farthest from me says.

"I'm Luke." The speaker says.

"I'm Calum." The one who interrupted Luke says.

The one who was being slightly flirtatious doesn't say anything, but he's still grinning at me.

Why?

"And since he won't say anything, I will. That's Ashton." Michael says

"Oh, yeah, sorry." Ashton says.

They turn one by one, and leave.

"That was strange." I say.

"What?" Mia asks, who wasn't really paying attention.

"Nothing." I sigh.

I peel off into one of the rooms. I flop on the giant bed.

Wow this is comfy.

A girl could get used to this.

*~****~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~***~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I wake up disoriented and homesick. I quickly push the feelings down.

I don't really know what to do, so I get dressed and walk into the hall.

I don't know what rooms the other two are in, so I walk out of the hallway, trying to find the big dining room that I saw.

Apparently I went the wrong way, because I stand in front of four huge doors.

Introducing Bri Lilliana Gallagher, the only person who gets lost in a freaking hallway.

I wonder what's behind them. Probably the prince's rooms. I wonder what's in there?

They're probably asleep. A little peek won't hurt...

I open a door to see a absolutely amazing, huge room. The bed could literally hold eight of me.

I hear a shower running, so I take that as my "Prince approach radar".

I see a piano in the corner of the room, along with a guitar, and drums.

I play two of those.

No, Bri, you cannot play the prince's instruments.

But it's a grand piano!

Fine.

I sit on the bench, and, with shaking hands, start to play the music on the piano, which is covered with tear stains.

I know this song. It's ancient. It starts with humming, then I forget where I am and start singing.

"Loved and left me,

still she kept me,

wanting more,

but feeling empty.

Did she have to go?

Will I ever know?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ashton

I'm in my shower, and I start to hear singing. Female singing. There is also piano playing.

I turn my shower off, getting out and pulling shorts on.

Opening my door softly, I see a head of reddish-brown hair, her back to me.

"Loved and leave me,

she deceived me.

The way she kissed,

was so misleading.

I thought that she might stay,

but then she went away."

Oh elocman, she's singing Alara's song. I haven't heard a girl sing that song ever, only Alara did. Girl's voices never went with that song, but Alara's did.

And this girl's did.

I slowly creep across the room, sliding down on the bench beside her.

My hands find the keys, and I start playing as well, the notes harmonizing beautifully.

"It's been some time,

but still I find,

I'm struggling with our last goodbye." I sing with her.

She immediately ends the song and jumps up.

It's the girl.

"I'm so sorry." She apologizes.

"Don't be, that was beautiful." I say

"I-"

"No. Listen, it was beautiful, and I don't care that you played my piano."

She immediately runs away.
