"The plans of the selections were coming. 3 districts will be selected by the head elder. The head elder the grandfather of Chris Trott, the new ruler of the people, has been trusted for many years for his physic abilities. He will chose the three districts who will then each select a girl of the district, to marry the three new rulers of the family's."

"Grandfather, have you made you decision yet. The people are waiting." Chris Trott says eagerly to his grandfather. He tries to act like a adult but with all this excitement he can't seem to bare not being a bit like a child.

"Yes." He says. The elder stands up and walks down the hall with Chris Trott following him. His grandfather had been the head elder since the accident which caused the old elders suicide. They enter through the doors meeting Ross and Alex. Chris gives them a nod and they follow him. 

Guards open the doors of the balcony to the screaming crowd of people of the center. The elder sighs before going forth to the microphone. Cameras roll broadcasting it to every district. 

"Lamia, it's time to know, the 3 districts, that will each bare a girl to marry these men." He says. The crowd screams louder. More excitement fills Chris, all districts of the rich bared beautiful women of course but it was interesting to know which one could give him the love of his life. 

Alex hoped that it would not be any districts such as the district of metal.  Actually he only wanted one district on that list, the district of gold. It bared the most beautiful women to him, and it was the most common district anyone in his family married.

Ross didn't care about this, he didn't even want this! He didn't want to be the ruler of his family. He didn't want to be part of the Hornby family either. He wished he could live a normal life in a district not as a ruler in the center. He hated this and barely listened to the words the elder was saying.

"First district chosen, the district of gold." He said. Alex smiled. Chris followed too. Ross stood blank dazing off as always. Chris hit him taking him out of his day dream. 

"Second district, the district of silk." He said. The district of silk bared beautiful wrinkle free women, that almost stayed radiant and young forever. 

"Third district." The elder hesitates. "District of coal." A gasp fills the crowd. The three new rulers look at the elder like he's a mad man! especially chris.

DISTRICT OF COAL! That's the poorest district of all! It has no laws, and runs rampant with thieves! Chris thinks. He almost feels sick of nervousness knowing there was a chance of him marrying a thief.

"On the 10th of October, the girls shall arrive. That is all." The elder walks away leaving the crowd and the rulers speechless. The districts of the south have never been selected. How can this be.

Luma's pov: 

I hurry home with tonight's supper to the rampant mice and thief infested streets. I scored on a deal! F*ck yeah! I reach our small town shack that me and my mom share with our aunt, along with her husband and many children. 

"Mom I'm home." I say walking into the creaky house. I feel something familiar rub up against my leg. I look down to see a small at at my feet.

"Hey there jupy." I say rubbing her. I walk into the small living room to see my mom and my aunt biting their fingers. 

"What's wrong, was their another factory accident." I ask worrying about my uncle and my older cousins. They look over at me. My mother with the most shocked look. 

"It's the center, the selections." She stops and sighs "they've chosen our district." 

"You're in the age group of girls." I stop and drop my loaves of bread or our family's supper. "Your joking, they never choose southern districts." I go to the tv screen. A replay of the selections is happening. The words district of coal come out of the elders mouth. "This is your chance to get out of here." My aunt says. I feel to shocked to even breath properly. 

"It's most likely going to be a beauty contest or something to choose the girl, I won't win with." I say running my fingers through my coarse brown hair. 

"Possibly but the mayors too lazy." My aunt said laughing. Everyone hated mayor rox. He was fat, annoying and lazy. He acted like he was the best and was such a prude. 

"But-but." I stutter. My mom walks over and puts her finger on my lip, and utters the words."In one day. The judging will begin." 

My voice is hoarse and my lips are chapped so I do not say a word. 

This is just the beginning
