Fearless

Chapter 9

I don't see Ron for the rest of the day due to him having a long meeting with the heads of instructors till late night. However, I could still feel the ghost of his lips on mine, kissing me softly and lingering there for a couple of seconds. I try to shake the thoughts of him away and go for a walk instead around the compound's park, when I spot something on the ground; a diary. I open it to read:

PROPERTY OF JULIAN GRAYSON

Head of External affairs (currently of the FEARLESS compound)

I know I am supposed to give the diary back but I don't. Instead, I return to the compound and start reading the diary. I need to know the truth about us the fearless and about the ordinary people with fears:

24th FEBRUARY 2194.

Today the president of Lancee; Wyatt Theodore has brought up a new rule which will help to end the start of the civil war in Lancee; this rule is to group people based on their amount of fears, with those having only one fear the most favorable and those have more than 8 fears the least favorable among the society. He has stated also that this rule will come in obedience starting from 1st of April 2194, in which everyone in the population who are 16 years and above starting from the next month (March) they will forcefully go through these simulations which will decide their future.

These simulations will put the candidate through their worst fears stored in their brain and it will count the amount of fears they have as well as how they have reacted to each of their fears.

An example is if a candidate has 10 fears but can face at least 7 of them effectively then, this candidate will have only 3 'worst fears.'

We, the government, will go into these simulations first. As I am the head of the public relations authority, I will be going the 15th in number which is after about 10 days from now as it will start for the government from tomorrow onward, however, they will not change our positions in the society as we are the government.

Just as I finish reading the first diary entry, my eyes comes heavy and I feel myself drifting slowly away to sleep.

The next morning I get woken up by someone knocking on the door. Assuming that the person knocking is one of the servants her in the compound, I don't adjust my hair, instead I hurry up to open the door. I am surprised by a very well dressed Ron standing in front of me that's when I remember that I am a mess and I shut the door fast and say:" I am sorry but you can't see me like that I am a mess, I will meet you in the breakfast hall after 30 minu-"

I am cut by the door opening, Shit I think, I forgot to lock the door and now Ron has seen me in my worst figure.

"Good morning babe, you aren't a mess at all," Ron says

"No I am" I strongly disagree

"Well then I think you won't believe it till I do this" Ron says and smirks,

"Till you do wha-"

I am cut by Ron locking his lips with mine. After kissing for a few minutes, I break away from the kiss and say, "still I didn't even brush my teeth"

"So?"

"You know what, never mind. I will go change my clothes, you can wait here for me in the living room" I say

"Okay, I will be waiting here" Ron says and pecks my lips before I head to the bedroom to change.

Once I enter the bedroom, I spot the diary I found earlier. I immediately hide it under my clothes in the closet. After brushing my teeth and taking a fast shower, I comb my hair letting it flow over my shoulders and wear my light blue floral dress. I head back to the living room to find Ron looking out of the window. "I am ready." I say

When he turns around I am greeted by his wide grin, "Let's go for breakfast, shall we?"

"Yes" I smile back still thinking about that diary entry I read.

A/N: I am very very very sorry for making you guys wait for long! I had my exams this month and it was hectic as I had mocks and had to study for the board examination too! Anyways, now I'll be hopefully updating frequently 😊
