Chapter 13 - The Guest

Angel looked at the spot where the chain was now hidden and was unaware of the guest that was present. The guest which was the representative from the Royal family was standing behind a chair at the head of the table, he saw the way Angel looked at the chain with a sad face as though she had lost something very valuable and she had seen it but yet couldn't reach it.

Ronald had arrived in his own car and waited until the bus arrived, he had seen a car leaving to the back of the house. Because he had almost died once and was trained to be alert of his surroundings always he heard a man's voice telling someone to always wear a chain and a bracelet as it would always protect. He then heard the shuffling sound of containers being emptied and shortly after the car left.

He then heard the rustling of footsteps at a very fast pace as though the person was trying to hide and do something, before he heard the rushing of footsteps and a door lock. He listened attentively as he heard zippers opening things moving around, "Where is it? Where is the chain godmother had given me before she died? I bet Rebecca came snooping around and took it?"

The voice was very low that he was sure that not even the werewolves in the pack even heard it, if he didn't have very keen senses he was sure that he wouldn't even heard the voice. The rustling continued but he didn't take it on as just then the bus arrived and he exited the car and walked to the pack house and knocked.

According to the records there was a total for forty members in this pack, he checked all the heads that was present and two was missing, "Two missing," he said.

"My husband is in his study and will be here soon," a woman that looked to be in her late fifties said.

"That is one, another is missing."

"Where did you get that?" he heard a guy whisper to a young girl that was in her early twenties and was playing with a platinum chain with sapphire stones.

"In that bitch room, must be she stole it from someone and now I steal it from her," the girl whispered back to the guy.

"Rebecca, go and get your sister in law," the woman said.

"Yes mother," the girl answered while still playing with the chain and got up with a frown and walk towards a door that was just out of the dining room area on the right side of the wall. If he didn't see the young girl knock on the wall he wouldn't have known that there was a door or a room there as the door blended in well with the wall.

The young girl stood leaning on the wall playing with the chain as though it was a toy, while waiting for the sister in law to exit the room he noticed a man walking down the steps well dressed. He noticed that everyone in the dining room looked extremely good as though they were expecting him, but then again the marking alone was a sign that the selection was starting again and all those that participated previously would be aware that they are timely.

Also the King had already sent a letter to each pack and clan that a representative would be passing, it just didn't state exactly when and then the marking starting from that morning or nine in some countries so it was expected after all.

Ronald watched his time, it was quarter pass six and the girl did not come out, he listened carefully and heard movement inside the wall. He wanted to start but he was sure that she would open the door soon as he continued listening to both the movement inside the room and the ticking of the seconds hand on his clock.

He suddenly heard the snapping of padlocks followed rustling as if hand robbing on clothes and then the sound of footsteps as though the person was moving and then the sound of unlocking. He watched the girl leaning on the door shift and heard her say, "Time for dinner," in a very nice tone and peeked inside the room.

He saw the fat, ugly looking girl with pimples that had black unleveled hair and she was wearing a white cardigan, sky blue t-shirt, black fitted jeans and a white sneakers looked back to see what the girl was looking at. "Looking for this," he girl the girl taunt as she played with the chain, "It is very beautiful, isn't it?"

They were already in the dining room when the woman who sent her called "Rebecca," and the girl that was taunting the other girl looked at the woman that had a disapproving look, she then looked at him and he saw her put the chain away before she returned to her seat.

The girl didn't take a seat as she looked at him after she looked at the chain being hidden, Ronald made note to ask the Rebecca girl to hand over the chain. He was sure that it was the chain that the girl was looking for and the same one that the wizard had told her to always keep on.

"What are you wearing? Where did you get those clothes from?" a girl asked the black hair girl as she got up from her seat and was about to take of the white cardigan that the black hair girl was wearing.

At that moment Ronald cleared his throat and started saying, "Good evening to all. As you all may know by now, the next queen selection would start soon and as such I am here to get the girls that would be participating in selection event. There would be different categories of the selection and only the girls that are eliminated would return home. I will now look at all the girls that would be participating and all those that would be participating I will say go and pack. The bus will be leaving the front at exactly seven, and from five to seven every minute it gets closer to seven the horn would be blown and if you are not ready by seven the bus would leave you. If anyone are left behind another bus with guards would come and drag you out of the pack house and you would be both punished and embarrassed in front of all the girls participating in the selection."
