**~Chapter One~**

Celine opened her mouth (revealing a set of 28 sharp teeth, most of what it looked canines) and furiously bit into the mass of the pinkish-red watermelon. When she looked back up, her cheeks were full as if she had stuck tennis balls in each side and her mouth was lined with red juice. Celine chewed slowly, her eyebrows rising in question.

After she swallowed, she smiled satisfyingly.

“Delicious,” Celine murmured. “Which farmer do you own, Ari? This watermelon had me limp for a moment there!”

*Arisariel [insert last name here] was nicknamed Ari to her friends, Babe in Siolino’s book (Celine’s brother, older by two years), Princess Arisariel to Her Loyal Subjects, and Rebelheart to her mother, Queen Petra [insert last name here]. Apparently, Arisariel and her mother had an unknown last name since Ari’s father and Queen Petra’s husband left them with amnesia. (No one knew what happened that day, in fact everyone had no memory of everything that happened the evening he left. All they knew was that he was gone.)

She was Queen Petra’s daughter, and Queen Petra was sour and evil (according to everyone’s book). Is Arisariel [insert last name here] as malicious and spiteful as her mother? Observe in the rest of the book.*

Ari frowned, scrunched up her nose, put her finger to her chin and thought. “I think his name is Corky or something. I don’t know, but he seems sad all the time.” She sighed for a second, not even that, for a MILLIsecond. “You should go and cheer him up,” said Celine, sighing. It was a silent moment. Not for long.

They started to smile, it turned into chuckles and giggles, laughter, then full-on guffaws. They were laughing until they were choking.

“AS IF!” cried Ari, gasping for air. “He has a family—he made it, he CARES for it. Anyway, I think Petra’s gonna fire him soon.” She scooped a piece of the watermelon with a plastic spoon. She slurped it up and continued. “Petra even found some beetles in there! I actually put one of ‘em in, just to make him all mad and stuff. In the farming field, I mean.”

“You’re so mean. You’re the reason Petra’s firing him!” Celine pouted.

“CE-line. Why would you even suggest that? It comes from Petra, everyone knows that! Besides, I can’t help it. It’s SO fun watching them suffer.”

“Can’t you pick a better word?”

“Die. Is that okay with you?”

“That’s better.”

“Okay, replacement. It’s SO fun watching them die!”

“You haven’t killed anyone yet, Ari.”

“I know that. I’m waiting for the right time. Petra already knows that, she hid all my daggers, swords and even my freaking MEAT CLEAVER! What’s wrong with her?”

“She’s YOUR mom, Ari. Plus it’s not her fault. I’m guessing that she doesn’t want you to slay early. I heard Petra tell the Society that she slew her first person when she was just a mere princess.”

“I bet she’s planning to get Dyanna. Dyanna Gloss is so stupid, I hate her. She made fun of our whole kingdom. She doesn’t deserve to be princess.”

“Totally.”

*A typical day at Culpepper Kingdom. Now the real story begins.*
