I stood still in shock as his deep voice kept ringing in my head. I am truly in a lot of mess right now. I hide the file beneath my shirt and did not dare to turn back to reveal my face as that will make the matter worst. I searched my head for a solution and none seems to be coming that moment. I hissed quietly and closed my eyes praying for a help. "Turn back and show yourself." he said.I can't reveal my face to him, but he will still see me even though I remain hiding as arresting me will be seeing my face. I remained in my standing position and not moving an inch. "I said, turn around." he repeated this time with a stern voice.I am done for. An idea came into my head and instead of thinking it over, I acted it out and ran away without looking back or revealing my face to him. I heard a loud hiss of frustration followed by walking steps. He was by the door side so if I want to go out, I will have to face him first. Now all I can do is hide behind the shelves and s
AURORA POVElena drove away from the army area in a crazy speed and after losing the armies who seemed to have drove back, we slowed down and stopped the car.The three of us sighed in relief and tried to catch our breathes. I released the breath I never knew I was holding and closed my eyes tightly trying to calm myself down. "That was close, we were almost caught." Elena said excitedly earning a glare from Aliyah. "Are you kidding me? You are excited about that?" she asked and pinched Elena on her shoulder."Ouch Aliyah." I looked at the file I was holding and seeing the name, my heart skipped a beat. Because of this file, my friends and I almost got into trouble and we had to escape in a dangerous way. If I had fallen down wrongly, I wouldn't be looking at the file I was holding. If we were caught, that would have being the end of our careers. The end of our dreams. All because of a file. "You shouldn't be excited about this. Aurora fell from a twenty store
Years ago, the Earth was destroyed by a group of scientist who wanted to change the world by creating monsters in humans. They succeeded but instead, the Earth was destroyed. An immortal being sacrificed herself to create the new world we now live in. Every surviving humans went into the new world and the Earth was totally destroyed to annihilate the monster. The new world was named Sirenna, after the one woman who created the world. The new world had strict rules, limiting the human to a lot of things. We are the fifth generation.The people were divided according to their talents and potential. When we reach the age of eighteen, we are selected according to a test carried on us to choose our talents and potentials.I will be eighteen tomorrow and that means I will be chosen, but, I am different from the people. I have the blood of the enemies, the people who are believe to destroy Sirenna in the nearest future if not stopped. They are the MISCREANTS. I have the blood of a miscreant
"You don't have one?" Elena asked with widened eyes. Of course I have, I wanted to say, but tomorrow will be my last and my dream won't happen. "A councillor will be the best for you. I can sense it. You are good at giving laws and honest judgement." Liya said wiping her mouth with her hands while staring at me. "Liya is right, you been a councillor will change the world cause we will have a honest person with that talent." Elena said.I smiled at them for their comments. Maybe if I wasn't a miscreant, I might be chosen as a councillor. Now, I can't help but pray tomorrow nevers comes. "Let's just believe, our talents will be better than we think." Elena said. "Is this Elena saying something sensible?" Liya asked. Elena rolled her eyes and continued eating.I watched my friends eating while making jest of each other, and I felt a big space in my heart. All this, all this happy moments will be over after tomorrow. After some few hours, they left le
Now the other groups are the OUTCAST. They are the people without talent or the people who left their talent behind. They are the poorest and are treated like trash. The next are the ERUDITES. The scientists, physicians and everything related under science are the Erudites. We have the FARMERS who deals with our growing crops and rearing animals. We have the ENTERTAINERS who has the talent of singing, acting ex cetera. Then lastly, we have our RULERS. The rulers aren't selected during the chosen day, the positions are earned. The highest hierarchy is the supremacy power. The Supremes are the most powerful rulers of Sirenna but no one knows who they are, how they are, or what they look like. All we know is that they are ten supreme lords, who rules us. They have never shown themselves.I sat down alongside Elena and Liya as more young adults together with their parents kept trooping in, filling up the empty seats. The leaders of each groups sat down at the podium with each holding a bo
"Are you sick?" Liya asked, looking at me with worry.I nodded and put the pill in my mouth. I wasn't sick but I guess this is the way to make me take the pill without been suspected. My father leaned closer to me, "You will really feel sick darling. You will not know what is going on again in few minutes. This is the only way that can help you out of this situation. Don't worry, I will be with you." he said. I nodded and focused on the podium. "Aliyah Khepri." the vice president called. Aliyah smiled and left for the podium. She was chosen as an Entertainer. Happily, she joined her new group. "Aurora Lee."I was called next. I stood up but found it difficult to move. My whole body became weak and my head seems to be spinning round. I felt dizzy, weak and nauseous as I kept walking with difficulty.......Alfredo watched his daughter as she walked to the podium sickly. He had a worried look on his face as she neared the podium. He was told the pill wi
"I was chosen as a stauncher." Elena said eating the peanuts dad had left for me. It's more like we were chosen according to what our hearts desires. I had the dream of working with the councils and I got it. Elena wanted to be a stauncher, and Liya wanted to be a musician. I rubbed my hands and looked outside the window, relieved I still have the chance to. Mother I am a councillor now. I will make you proud of me....... "My life starts very soon." Liya said drawing my attention to her. She dropped the glass of water she was holding and rubbed her hands together. "Let's spend a whole day together immediately you get discharged and are released to go home." she added. I nodded, "Sure...... Let's do that." I replied. ..... The vice president walked in to the president's office with a file in his hand, humming to a song. He opened the door and walked in, looking at the president whose eyes were on her computer, typing down a report. He dropped the
A lady walked up to the podium with a stern look on her face, making everyone quiet in the hall. She stopped and stared at our faces before she switched on the computer in front of her. "I am Felicia Hookman, the leader of the councillors." She looked at her computer and backs to our faces. "Most of you know me and most of you don't. Let's keep it that way cause we don't want familiarity to be the cause of failure. I hate failures. We are the councillors and are the best in everything we do. I wouldn't let anyone spoil the reputation we have built over the years. Everyone of you should work hard and be the best cause that's what we are." she said earning an applaud and cheers from the crowd.I am the best at what I do, I am a councillor. "This test will determine which department you belong to. We have so many department at the councils. Some lawyers, some administrators ex cetera. Each department has their head and everyone should be respectful towards them, they hav
