The President's Daughter

They took her, one evening, as she sat outside the house. The Opposition. They came, as the full moon rose, and The Government went to some dinner party or other. They knew she had pretended to be ill to get out of it. They knew there would be no one there to stop them except a few guards. And so they took her.

May was daughter of The President, ruler of the LNU, or The Lasting Nation of Unity. Her great grandfather founded the LNU, and won The Great Wars against The Opposition, and the Civilians, and now the position had been passed through the generations, to her father. Life was different than it was before. The year was twenty-five fifty-two, and the LNU was ruled over by The Government, a group of Class One men and women, who followed The Presidents’ every order, and society was more separated than it ever has been before.

But May knew nothing of The Civilians’ lives of poverty, or that there is such a thing as democracy. She knew nothing of the sinister, dark things that happened behind the scenes of her fathers’ rule. So when taken by The Opposition, a terrorist group that were originally a political party running against her great grandfather, the things she learns tear her apart more than she thought anything ever could.

What will she do, when she starts feeling things for Jay, one of her kidnappers, that one never should?

And will she Believe, or choose to turn a blind eye, like so many others, even when the truth is staring her in the face?
