It's simple, really. Just follow the rules. And you'll get rewarded. And if you don't follow them? That's it buddy, you're out. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Callisto Black lives in a perfect world. Although everyone is provided for on a basic level, those who stick to the rules and those who are promising to the Government get a higher income and more privileges. Callisto is lucky, her father is a Loyalist- a highly respected Government officer- and so she already has an elevated status. Everyone is happy with the society. Except the Outcasts. Since 2200, the Government has been collecting kids that were different. That made mistakes. That were labeled a danger to their perfect society and deposited on the other side of the wall. Now, there's a whole community of Outcasts there. The Government claims that they're generous and have allowed the Outcasts to flourish instead of killing them off. Every year, there's checks throughout Haven City to root out any anomalies and those who are deemed different are taken away and no one ever sees them again. But those who follow the rules and contribute to the Government have nothing to worry about, like Callisto. She's automatically considered a Favored taken the status of her father and she's very Talented. So she has nothing to worry about-does she? -For the best experience, switch to dark mode- #CCA2019

" I lunge forward at him hitting his groin with my knee then right between the eyes. As soon as I do, he crashes to the ground, out cold. I go for more, but a pair of arms snatch my waist lifting me up. I kick my legs and flail my arms to get closer but he is too strong. "Let go of me!" I demand. "Shut up." A low strong voice commands."Is he okay?" "He is fine." I grunt. Then the young adult wakes up, then scurries back away from me. "Sorry ma'- miss... " he says, making me angry again. I give him a cold stare. "I'm sorry." He repeats, standing to his feet. "Put. Me. Down." I demand again. With a huff he puts me down. I step forward with full intentions to punch him again but the man behind me takes my arm, holding me back. I jerk forward to get off his grip but he takes my other arm tightly. "Alright! I'm done! I'm done!" I huff in defeat. " This story follows Astrid, a 26 year old female who ran away from home 10 years ago. The only reason she has come back was to get away from the hole she dug her self into. She is running away from her problems again. Life before she ran away wasn't as nice as the public saw it- the sherif's family, happy, and loving. Behind the doors it was orders being barked left and right with no warning or break. Not wanted to deal with this anymore, Astrid ran. On her voyage out, she ran into some trouble that seemed all fine until it wasn't. She comes back home and everything is all fine and dandy until, "Unknown: You thought you could hide forever? I found you, and I can find your friend, Nicole. If you want her safe, you'll be at the ring in an hour." Since Astrid's leave, the town suddenly had a motorcycle gang that hangs around, not realling doing anything in particular, but the sherif doesn't trust them much. Damon being the head of the gang, keeps everything they do quiet. When these two meet up there is obious tention and immediate hatred. ***EDITING TWs: Controling dad, violence, abuse
