Chapter one: The Notification

'Inevitable Fate'
-Unknown

Ally's POV

Crreeeaak. The house makes these sounds on a daily basis. It's creepy for sure but I guess I'm used to it, I mean I've lived with it for my entire 15 years of existence. I can only thank the king of the other land for that.

My name is Ally Brichart. That's pronounced brick-heart. Not bree-chart. I'm 15 nearly 16 and I have lived on The Isle Of The Poor my entire life. I have brown/ginger hair, hazel eyes, stand at 5"3 and am called a lot of things. Pretty is not one of them. I guess my nose Is kinda out of proportion to the rest of my face but still not the point.

The point is around 30 years ago, earth fell into a terrible state. Society's were fighting against each other for the legalisation of different rights, gay marriage, the government trying to take away our human rights, pretty serious stuff right. Well I wasn't born or conceived but my mum surely was. She lived through it all. She said that United Nations Council decided that they would solve the problems. The would split and categorise everyone. But they decided to categorise not by gender or sexuality. No they decided to separate us into rich or poor. Idiots. If you made less than 10k a year you were put into the poor category. Which was pretty much everyone. Then they split America into two places, put a wall straight through the middle. The Isle Of The Lost on one side, The Isle Of The Riches on the other. Many people on our side of the wall (the poor side) didn't have kids due to their financial problems. But my mother decided that she could handle it and had me. My father ran away, scared for his own pocket probably. Wanker. The school we have is tiny. Only 50 kids and teens are enrolled because of the amount of kids in the island. The school is free but supplies aren't. So basically we live in a shithole, with houses that creak and cave in all the time so it's not un natural, and we have next to no money.

But I have four things that get me through this, Jack, Henry, May, and my mothers approval. That's it. My friends and my mothers approval of my self is everything to me.
Pretty stupid but that's basically what I rely on to make me get up and live the day out.

It's Monday and a notification has come through from the rich side. Every week on Monday notification as are sent through to us if it's absolutely nessacery that we need to know. Me and my friends are running on the roof tops cons doddering there's nothing to do when we hear the notification siren. I look at May and we smirk. I turn to the boys and say "parkour race, first to the square wins". "What does the winner get?" Asked Jack curiously. "Winning team gets the other team as their slave for anything at all, middle if the night too bad, for three days, boys versus girls" I say. I look at may and I know we got this. The boys nod and we get into our positions and wait for the next gong on the bell tower. And we're off. Me and may are side by side doing flips off roofs and park benches. (the video, just imagine it all on a rooftop) The boys are behind us. Suckers. I see the square and so does may. We grab hands and do the last flip off the building together. We land and see the boys jump off the roof. "Ha we win, your our slaves for now suckers" May says triumphantly. The boys just pout.

Everyone goes quiet and we stand waiting for the notification to be read.
Mr Lawson stands with the eh notification in his hand and looks like he is searching for someone. His eyes find us and he sort of look pitiful for us. Why? Has it got something to do with the eldest of the school having to go where the last of them went. Last year the four eldest kids in the school has to leave. We don't know where but they did t come back. Maybe it's happening again. But that's not good, us for are the eldest, me, may, Jack and Henry.

Lawson clears his throat and says,

'Dear inhabitants of The Isle Of The Poor,
The new king, Phillip, has decreed that the oldest of the youngest generation
shall be given a chance to redeem themselves and become a person
of the riches' society.

A car will be sent for your youngest generation in 3 days.

We will know who is part of the right generation so don't attempt to lie to us,
or the punishment will be severe.

Thank you for your co-operation,

The Kings Assistant,
Jelson Daggered'
