This is the province of Whites. View the province thread for more information.

Audra settled down in front of their tiny TV, sitting with her back against the bottom of the couch while her mother and sister sat on it. This was it. One of then could get out of here, escape from this horrid life. But at the same time, Audra didn't want to be chosen. She didn't want to be Illéa's doll. And she didn't want to leave her mother or her sister, especially after her father had left. But whatever happened, Audra knew they wouldn't be separated for good. If anything, Vivian was going to be chosen. Sure, she was only 16, but she was absolutely stunning. Audra barely considered herself pretty.

((No problem))

((No, just one of them. Whichever you want, though, I don't care which))

Audra smiled up at her and squeezed her hand nervously. "I don't know if I should be excited or dreading this." Audra laughed a bit, as if it was a joke, but it really wasn't. She didn't want to marry some stuck up prince and be a queen, not really. She didn't want to leave her mother and sister, after everything they had been through together. But she couldn't refuse if she was chosen. Audra sat nervously as they went through the north, east, and south provinces. West was always last. All of the girls chosen were absolutely stunning, almost as much as Vivian. Many said Audra was beautiful, too, but she didn't really believe them. And compared to these girls, she knew she wasn't going to be chosen. The announcement for Whites grew closer and closer, and Audra dreaded it. She couldn't wait any longer. And then, it was there.

Audra Myra Beaumont, our new selected girl from the province of Whites!

Audra bit her lip as her mother pulled her closer into a comforting hug. After a minute, Audra finally answered her question. "Mom, I don't want to go! They're going to dress me up, and make me wear heels, and I'll have to go away from you two, and they're going to make me wear heels!" Audra cried, repeating the last part, as if it was the worst. She cried into her mother's shoulder, knowing that she couldn't back out now, no matter what. It wasn't possible.

Audra smiled up at her. "Thanks, mom." She hugged her once more before wiping her tears away. "You're right, I can do this. I can do this." Audra groaned. "I wish I didn't have to do this," she said as she stood up. "Well, I guess I should go find something to wear. Always the problem," she said with a small laugh.
