The Heir

Chapter five

"Rose what would you do instead to help get rid of the caste system?" My father says.

"I personally would do the same thing you are doing." i say looking at the map of Illeá.

"But we cant keep doing this every couple years. We need to let them free and see the outcome." says the governor of the Alaskan state.

"But that would be very unwise. What if they rebel?" I said to him not picking up my eyes to make eye contact.

"Then we will put them on house arrest." he says cooly like all is good.

"And where are you gonna get the police and soldiers? We had to send over to china." father says.

"Then recruit more." the governor says.

"You know what I'm done with this." i say standing up.

"Rose sit back down right now." father says.

"You can do this one by your self, Excuse me." and i walk out.

It has been a week since the selected had come to the castle and i only met one. Alex from the gardens.

"Something wrong miss?" Richard says next to me.

"No, just stressed about diminishing the caste and stuff." i say.

"It will work out, i pinky promise." he says holding out his picky.

I laugh and grab his picky with mine.

"So what are you gonna do today? Read? Play your flute or the piano? Do paperwork?" He grins.

"None of those. I have to meet the selected." i say with a groan.

"Well how about you meet one and then take a rain check." he says.

"Okay can you get my maid, i will be in the music room." i walk ahead.

I was playing this ancient guy named Bach, when my maid came in. she waited till i was done playing.

"What did you need miss?" She says bowing.

"Can you get me Justin from the New York State, please." i say going to the piano.

I keep playing the beautiful harmony. Until i hear a timid knock on the door. I look at Justin, He has short hair the is dark brown and bright hazel eyes.

"Come sit, i don't bite." i giggle and close the
piano.

"So, you wanted to see me?" He asks sitting down.

"Yes, i want to get to know all of you before i send home the first ten." I say to him.

"Well what do you want to know?" He says.

~about an hour later~

He left and i sit here looking out the window. It is a beautiful spring day. I stand up and walk closer to the window. As i look i see strange men run up to the palace.

I scream but its to late. A southern is in the same room as i am.

"Hello miss, I wont kill you with a gun. I think thats to curl." he says walking up to me.

"Then what are you gonna do?" I say in a shaky voice.

"This." and he pushes me out the window.

Everything seems to be in slow motion. I scream but it is too late. I hit the ground and everything rushes back. Im hit with a huge wave of pain. I try to move but I'm in so much pain and agony.

Then i hear a muffled shout. It sounded like my name.

Then a familiar face comes into view. Richard.

"Rose, im gonna pick you." he whispers.

When he picks me up i scream and he starts running. Every bump he it hurts even more. He tells me its going to be okay, but it hurts so much.

I hear gun shots and yelling. I try to block it out. We finally make it to the hospital wing.

The doctors grab me and put on my stomach and give me medicine. As they wheel me away i look at Richard. He waves and puts his hands in his pockets.
