Heya guys!!! First book one wattpad eva and i am so scared so hope you enjoy (pweese!?!) anywayz enjoy!!!
We all went to the same school, same classes, same education. We were given the stories to both sides and when the time came were given the choice between good and evil.
The thing is that you have to have bad in order to outweigh it with the good. There must be bad people in the world for the good people to be able to show themselves. And i guess this is where this story begins, not everyone is allowed glory, sometimes your destiny is to be bad to make others good. In the grand scheme of things some people have to be pushed aside in order for others to succeed. Some have to be left behind and, that's what i knew was going to happen to me. Not everyone can be the hero, and i knew that. I had accepted it.
Not everyone viewed it this way, hardly anyone did. And the ones who did where the ones who sacrificed themselves. So when i look at this grand society where the people who are supposedly 'good' are actually the people who are bad. It's all wrong yet we accept it, we forgive the people who are wrong and make up for their mistakes. In this world the people who are viewed as evil are ultimately the best people on this earth.
I knew i wasn't born for greatness. I had stopped trying years ago. I was resigned to the fact that i was going to be the decoy, the person who makes the bad good. I was a Devils Angel.
Families are some distant thing in our humanity, we are not emotionless we still have feelings. We just don't have a support system. We are alone, yet we have friends. For adults when the time is right you are sent to the Repro Centre where you are paired with someone and sent off to produce a child. During the pregnancy the women are kept in a housing centre until the child is born, so as to not create any familiarity or attachment between them the mother is told her job is done and sent home while the children are brought to the Nurture Homes where they will spend the first 10yrs of their life. You will never know your father, you will never remember your mother. Although it may seem cruel, to us it is not. This is the way we live and have so for billions of years.
I am 15yrs old. Which means that i am at the Judgement Division where every child must attend between the ages of 10 and until their judgement day. Here we extend our education, we learn about both sides 'equally' as well as our basic combat, archery and tacticians skills. This means that my life is about to get really interesting. Over the next year my life is going to drastically change. There is this 'thing' that everyone has to go through in their sixteenth year at the graduation ceremony. All humans who are under the age of sixteen are known as neutrals. Then, at the ceremony your path is opened up and you are given two options. Two life choices. Once chosen you cannot go back. Once chosen you are stuck. If you are wondering, this is where the whole 'good' and 'evil' stuff comes into play. On the night of the ceremony with the whole population watching on you choose between the dark side and the good side. Once chosen you are known as a decided. If you chose the dark side you are said to be damned, it is said that you are the devils servant. If you choose the good side then you are known as a divine.
On judgement day the students making the choice will sit as a year level at the front of the arena. The divines will take up the right side of the stadium while the damned will be on the left. Then one by one you will be announced, your profile will be shown on the massive screen. Then the crowd will start yelling like at auction. We will walk up to two chalices and pick up the dagger before us. While saying the ritual chant in our head we cut our hand and let the blood drip into one of the chalices. The silver and gold one on the right has pearly white liquid inside said to be the blood of an angel. The blood of every divine that ever existed is in that chalice. While every single drop of blood that the black chalice on the right contains is the blood of the damned. Once your blood has been spilt you have become a decided. If desired you can speak a few words before being taken over to your side where you will have celebrations until dawn.
The thing is that of the 2000 kids deciding each year it is rare for even one of them to choose the side of the devil. A few years ago there was a massive uproar because 6 of some of the most promising students ended up going to the dark side. As there is every time the dark side is chosen the people went into a frenzy, none of them understood that for them to be able to stand on their side of the room there had to be others on the opposite.
The scales have to be balanced and in order for that to happen some must cross over to the dark side. And that is exactly what i did.
