As My Heart Dies-Chp18

[for the nxt couple of weeks, Grimm continued to court the 10 candidates, bt mostly try to spend more time with Terrance, bt unfortunately bcoz Terrance was too shy n he had 8 other ppl to compete with (minus Wander), they didn't hv much progress, n it was soon the first elimination process]

Hater: (think)

[all 10 candidates lined up in the throne room, waiting nervously for the results]

Loathe: [whispered to Hater's ear so the candidates can't hear] Who do u think Grimm is gonna kick out first?

Hater: (whispers) At least someone he hasn't spent enough time with... (figures it'd be Wander)

Loathe: [whispers] I'm thinking tht he might wanna kick tht one out [pointing at the blue alien with orange hair] She's pretty, bt I heard she wanted to marry Grimm for his riches coz her planet is going bankrupt n she's planning to abandon it n move in here

Hater: :^) Huh.

Loathe: [whispers] I hear tht one is tough to beat [gestured at a bird-like alien tht looks like a humanoid peacock] She's the prettiest of all the candidates here, n I hear she's frm a vry strong planet bkgrd n part of some ancient royal ancestry or something

Wander: [was standing nxt to Terrance, then looked up n tugged gently at his robe] Psst! Psst!

Terrance: ? (glanced at Wander)

Wander: [whispers] Isn't this exciting? Our first elimination process?

Terrance: I...I suppose...?

Wander: [whispers] U think ur gonna stay? I bet u might. Grimm likes u a lot ;)

Terrance: :$ I'm not sure, I can't be that interesting to him...

Wander: [whispers] C'mon, he's been looking for an excuse to talk to u more these few weeks. U cant deny he's got a thing for u (smirk)

Terrance: :$ I suppose...

[a hush rolled in as Grimm enters the throne room n stood before the candidates]

Grimm: Today, I will eliminate 2 ppl frm the group. Those who got eliminate, no hard feelings, OK? [looked quietly thru the group]

Loathe: [keeping fingers crossed]

Hater: (think) ...

Terrance: (worry)

Wander: [waiting quietly, giving Terrance's robe an encouraging tug]

Grimm: (think).... [looked some more, then gestured at the blue alien with red hair Loathe mentioned earlier] Sheila... [gestured to a white long necked alien dressed in black] and Morella. I'm sorry, bt u two r out

Terrance: (phew)

Grimm: The rest of u can...

Wander: Umm, sorry to interrupt...

Grimm: Yes, Sir Wander?

Hater: :O

Wander: [was abt to say tht he wanted to eliminate himself, then stole a look at Hater, n then Terrance, n he somehow couldn't go thru with it] ....Umm, nothing. Just wanna thank u for letting me stay. Is all

Grimm: Ur welcome :) As I was saying, the rest of u can go bk to wat ur doing. Sheila n Morella, u may pack up n leave

Hater: (thinks; wait, what?)

Sheila: I don't understand, why am I being eliminated? I've done nothing wrong!

Morella: :^) It's that hidious reptile isn't it?

Terrance: :(

Sheila: Yeah! U hv been flirting with tht ugly fat ass all the weeks n barely chat with us! Why r we eliminated?

Grimm: [turns to them sternly with a seriousness that matched Fury] I eliminated u, Sheila, bcoz ur using me n this ceremony to get out of ur planet n exploit my riches. I will not marry someone who would abandon their planet n their ppl n leave them to starve n die while they fatten themselves up using my wealth n u [turned to Morella] U tried to poison one of the candidates last week so tht they would forfeit. I don't intend to marry a person that does not fight fair n resort to murder. Don't think I don't know both of ur intentions, I've got eyes everywhere. Now pls leave, or I'll hv the guards escort u

Sheila: Th-This is preposterous! I won't stand for this!

Morella: Like we're going anywhere!!

Hater: (growled and stood up) HE'S NOT INTERESTED IN EITHER OF YOU, NOW GET THE FUCK OUT IF YOU BOTH VALUE YOUR LIVES! (sparked up his hands)

[the girls gasped n quickly left, noisily complaining as they stomped out with their servants n ladies-in-waiting following behind them]

Grimm: Guess I don't need the guards after all. Sorry for the commotion. Pls go bk to whatever ur doing n we'll see each other wen I'm free [steals a last look at Terrance before leaving the throne room]

Wander: [turns to Terrance] See? He does like u (smirk)

Terrance: :o

Hater: (smirk) Hehe, Hater #1 Superstar.

Loathe: Pfft, show-off |-( Well, good riddance to those two. I'm off to make a video call to my lovely Archie-poo~<3 [walks off happily]

Wander: Well, let's hope u last till the end, eh, Terry? [already giving Terrance a nickname]

Terrance: Heh, yeah. :$

Wander: (giggle) [sees Hater coming towards him] Excuse me for a moment [turns to Hater] Hi, Hatey, how's it going?

Hater: Fine, I guess... but why'd you pause about getting out of this?

Wander: I, uh... [makes sure Terrance has left before he replied] I just felt like I need to help Terry with getting closer to ur brother, u knw, to increase his chances of winning

Hater: That right?

Wander: Yeah. I mean, as soon as we get those two together closer, I promise I'll eliminate myself. Scouts' honour

Hater: Uh huh... but... you're not gonna be...fully leaving the planet altogether, are you?

Wander: Umm... Maybe, maybe not. We'll see how it goes. U knw how it is, I go where the road takes me [clapped once with glee] So shall we get started?

Hater: Um...sure.

Wander: C'mon, let's get those two lovebirds together, n wat better way than a picnic! [takes Hater's hand n drags him out of the throne room] Oh btw, where's the kitchen in this plc?

Hater: ^^;; (gives him directions)
