Chapter 5: My turn

(POV: Kit)

I walked behind the curtain, there were two women. One was old, you could see part of her silver hair poke out of her headdress, the other was young no more than twenty with bright eyes and lovely brown hair.

The old woman's hands started to glow, that was kind of discerning, I have never seen anyone's hands glow like that. The woman told me to sit on this seat, that was slightly reclined so it was more like I was lying down. She hovered her hands over my body, starting at my head travelling towards my shoulders then to my stomach, then my legs and feet.

'What is her result ma'am?'' Asked the younger woman to the elder.

'Her test is inconclusive she is not Barron, deflowers or pure. Grab the green card and pass me the book.' The younger hurriedly carried out what was commanded to her, but fumbled around in a large leather bag before pulling out a small book. 'Turn to the fifth page and hand it to me, I need to mark her.'

'W-why ....why do I need to be marked? What mark are you giving me? Please stop and tell me.' I pleaded but the two women just kept hushing me and the leader woman grabbed my shoulder and started chanting it made no sense as in a foreign language, it didn't even sound like a language at all.

'You miss must hide this mark it is below your breast, it should protect you from those who wish to seek you out. I will give you a green card and an orange card. The green you must only show to the king when you meet in private, the orange is to show you are flowered still, so everyone around you will not ask questions.' The older woman was explaining to me, 'The King will explain what it means regarding your green card and ask where your mark is. Please do not tell anyone else it could...' She was cut off by the king announcing where each of the girls would be living for the next six months.

'Excuse me girls. Excuse me please be quiet. Oh my. SHUT UP!'
