Years ago, the Earth was destroyed by a group of scientist who wanted to change the world by creating monsters in humans. They succeeded but instead, the Earth was destroyed. An immortal being sacrificed herself to create the new world we now live in. Every surviving humans went into the new world and the Earth was totally destroyed to annihilate the monster. The new world was named Sirenna, after the one woman who created the world. The new world had strict rules, limiting the human to a lot of things. We are the fifth generation.

The people were divided according to their talents and potential. When we reach the age of eighteen, we are selected according to a test carried on us to choose our talents and potentials.

I will be eighteen tomorrow and that means I will be chosen, but, I am different from the people. I have the blood of the enemies, the people who are believe to destroy Sirenna in the nearest future if not stopped. They are the MISCREANTS. I have the blood of a miscreant running through my vein. The miscreants are people with special abilities beyond ordinary and the people of Sirenna sees them as a threat. They are called the FREEDITES, but their names were changed after the law was given to exterminate them. My mom is a miscreant and my dad a creator. 

The CREATORS are people with talents to create new things. Drugs, weapons, and everything we need to survive. He met my mom years ago when she was on the run from the STAUNCHERS and saved her by hiding her in his apartment. The staunchers consists of the armies, the polices, and every law enforcement agencies. 

My dad and mom fell in love after weeks of living together and they had me months later. When I was three, the staunchers invaded our home and took my mom away with me been hidden by my father. I was hidden away from the outside untill I was seven, and till this day, I have kept my true identity secret with my dad and no will ever know about it. The blood of the miscreants are darker than the blood of the humans which makes it easy to differentiate us from them.

The chosen day is the day young adults who just turned eighteen are brought together and a talent is chosen for them. Our talent are always different from our parent's and once given that talent, we are freed from our parents, with just the family name bringing us together. We are allowed to become independent and live on our own. No one knows their talent unless been given on the chosen day but I know what mine will turn out to be. I am a miscreant and a miscreant has all the talent. It will be easy to notice me and I might be killed tomorrow.

I stared at the ceiling not blinking away thinking about how my life will turn out to be after tomorrow. No miscreants survives the chosen day. I took in a deep breath and sat up on the bed rubbing the back of my neck. Tomorrow might be my last day in Sirenna. I brought out my pendant and placed it close to my heart with my hand on it. 

        "Mother, I might be coming to you tomorrow...... Father will be all alone and will be devastated. Help me this once." I cried silently. 

Running away will be more punishable by the law and they will find you were ever you go to cause a chip is been implanted into our bodies the day we are born and is only removed after the chosen day.

        "Hey." 

Someone called from my closed window making me to roll my eyes. Definitely my two best friends who hates using the door. I stood up and opened the window to meet their smiling faces. 

        "The door is opened, ya know." I said with my hands akimbo.

        "We know, but shortcuts are always the best." Elena said climbing down the window with Aliyah behind her.

Aliyah sniffed and a corner of her lips raised, "I smell chicken." she said blinking at me.

        "Chicken? There is no chicken......." my dad must have prepared breakfast for me before he left. Before I could say a word, my two friends were leaving my room with the kitchen in their minds. "Hey that's mine. Don't you dare touch my chicken." I yelled going after them.

        "Wow, uncle is the best...... He made a lot of meal." Elena said immediately we walked into the kitchen. The table was filled with dishes and I know he also cooked for my friends. Father is really the best. We sat down and digged in "This is so good." Elena said with her mouth full. "Tomorrow is a big day for us. I can't seem to get over the thought of been independent now..... I mean, who will cook for me? I won't get free meals again? I won't be cuddled by my mom again? The chosen day is so lame." Elena complained taking a bite from a drumstick.

        Liya dropped her spoon and swallowed. She looked at Elena, "My parents can't wait to get me off their neck. They are more excited than I am for tomorrow. Those people don't know how much it hurts."

        "I wish my talent will be the one that will fetch me a lot of cash. Like a stauncher or a councillor."

        "You are too skinny for a stauncher. You will be blown away before you even step a feet in their base." Liya said with so much sarcasm.

        Elena glared at her. "My body is to die for."

        "Yes it is..... it really is." Liya said trying to stop herself from laughing out loud.

        "What about you Aurora?" Elena asked looking at me. "What do you wish to be?" 

I looked at her, words lost from my mouth, not knowing what to say. What do I wish to be? Do I have a dream like them too?

    "You don't have one?" Elena asked with widened eyes. Of course I have, I wanted to say, but tomorrow will be my last and my dream won't happen. "A councillor will be the best for you. I can sense it. You are good at giving laws and honest judgement." Liya said wiping her mouth with her hands while staring at me. "Liya is right, you been a councillor will change the world cause we will have a honest person with that talent." Elena said.I smiled at them for their comments. Maybe if I wasn't a miscreant, I might be chosen as a councillor. Now, I can't help but pray tomorrow nevers comes. "Let's just believe, our talents will be better than we think." Elena said. "Is this Elena saying something sensible?" Liya asked. Elena rolled her eyes and continued eating.I watched my friends eating while making jest of each other, and I felt a big space in my heart.

    Now the other groups are the OUTCAST. They are the people without talent or the people who left their talent behind. They are the poorest and are treated like trash. The next are the ERUDITES. The scientists, physicians and everything related under science are the Erudites. We have the FARMERS who deals with our growing crops and rearing animals. We have the ENTERTAINERS who has the talent of singing, acting ex cetera. Then lastly, we have our RULERS. The rulers aren't selected during the chosen day, the positions are earned. The highest hierarchy is the supremacy power. The Supremes are the most powerful rulers of Sirenna but no one knows who they are, how they are, or what they look like. All we know is that they are ten supreme lords, who rules us. They have never shown themselves.I sat down alongside Elena and Liya as more young adults together with their parents kept trooping in, filling up the empty seats. The leaders of each groups sat down at the podium with each holding a bo

    "Are you sick?" Liya asked, looking at me with worry.I nodded and put the pill in my mouth. I wasn't sick but I guess this is the way to make me take the pill without been suspected. My father leaned closer to me, "You will really feel sick darling. You will not know what is going on again in few minutes. This is the only way that can help you out of this situation. Don't worry, I will be with you." he said. I nodded and focused on the podium. "Aliyah Khepri." the vice president called. Aliyah smiled and left for the podium. She was chosen as an Entertainer. Happily, she joined her new group. "Aurora Lee."I was called next. I stood up but found it difficult to move. My whole body became weak and my head seems to be spinning round.

I rubbed my hands and looked outside the window, relieved I still have the chance to. Mother I am a councillor now. I will make you proud of me....... "My life starts very soon."

    A lady walked up to the podium with a stern look on her face, making everyone quiet in the hall. She stopped and stared at our faces before she switched on the computer in front of her. "I am Felicia Hookman, the leader of the councillors." She looked at her computer and backs to our faces. "Most of you know me and most of you don't. Let's keep it that way cause we don't want familiarity to be the cause of failure. I hate failures. We are the councillors and are the best in everything we do. I wouldn't let anyone spoil the reputation we have built over the years. Everyone of you should work hard and be the best cause that's what we are." she said earning an applaud and cheers from the crowd.I am the best at what I do, I am a councillor.

    "You are in a room with two women who had a heated argument....... They were walking together on a street. One of them suddenly screamed and pointed at the floor, 'Hey there is a diamond on the floor.' she said. The second woman saw it and picked it up. Now, the two of them want the highest share, what will you do? Who will take the highest?" She asked.Obviously, the one who saw it should take the highest, but I smell something fishy here. The councils wouldn't ask a question this easy.My father once told me that, the councils are cunning people, they only take what benefits them and they favor those who are ready to walk with them. As simple as the question sounds, I know there is a cunning answer behind it. But what is that answer? Think Aurora.I clicked my tongue when an idea came to me. "You said a diamond?" I looked at the two of them. "You found the diamond on the floor. On Sirenna's ground. The diamond isn't for any of you, it's Sirenna's treasure. But since you two

If only my mother was alive, she would have been happy.Father told me that mother has always wanted to be a councillor but she was a freedite and it was impossible. I remembered the day my father told me about my mother. I had no memory of her and only know how she looks like through the pendant she gave me.That night when dad and I were watching a movie, I had asked dad why we freedites were called evil. Why we were called miscreants. He told me the freedites had all the talent and were special born people. The other groups were angry at that and saw them as threats. They brought the proposal to the supreme lords and it was approved. The freedites were known as villains. Even a new born child.I picked my shoe and headed towards my room but stop when father came out of his room. He smiled at me but I sense it was a forced smile. H

I released the breath I never knew I was holding and closed my eyes tightly trying to calm myself down. "That was close, we were almost caught." Elena said excitedly earning a glare from Aliyah. "Are you kidding me? You are excited about that?" she asked and pinched Elena on her shoulder."Ouch Aliyah." I looked at the file I was holding and seeing the name, my heart skipped a beat. Because of this file, my friends and I almost got into trouble and we had to escape in a dangerous way. If I had fallen down wrongly, I wouldn't be looking at the file I was holding.

    I stood still in shock as his deep voice kept ringing in my head. I am truly in a lot of mess right now. I hide the file beneath my shirt and did not dare to turn back to reveal my face as that will make the matter worst. I searched my head for a solution and none seems to be coming that moment. I hissed quietly and closed my eyes praying for a help. "Turn back and show yourself." he said.I can't reveal my face to him, but he will still see me even though I remain hiding as arresting me will be seeing my face. I remained in my standing position and not moving an inch. "I said, turn around." he repeated this time with a stern voice.I am done for. An idea came into my head and instead of thinking it over, I acted it out and ran away without looking back or revealing my face to him. I heard a loud hiss of frustration followed by walking steps. He was by the door side so if I want to go out, I will have to face him first. Now all I can do is hide behind the shelves and s

    "Hey you, get out of here!!" one of the soldiers said in a loud and strict voice. But Aliyah wasn't paying attention to him and wasn't moved by his deep baritone voice, as she advanced closer to the men by the gate. "I said leave." he yelled this time, walking towards her. "Oh sorry, I just lost my way and I found myself here with handsome and manly men." she smiled, "Don't mind me, I have something for muscular men, maybe I might marry a military man." she added. "Nice. Good job Aliyah." Elena said impressively, smiling like a proud teacher.The soldiers attention where now on Aliyah as she continued with her bold advances. Aurora seeing their distraction as an opportunity, entered the side gate. There were soldiers inside but she sneaked through the back door.

I totally get the plan but Aliyah seems to be lost as she kept looking at the map with a quizzical look. Noticing the look in her face, Lena folded her arms beneath her bosoms and lifted her brow in a perfect manner. "You don't understand Aliyah, do you?" "Not my fault bruh, I am not in the line of fighting crimes or investigation." Aliyah said while fumbling with the hem of her dress. Elena rolled her eyes and pointed at the army base in the map. "You don't have to do much work, you just help distract the soldiers in night duty at the gate while Aurora go in and get what she want." "What? Why me? Why should I distract the soldiers? What about you?" "They will recognize my face idiot. And besides, you are an Entertainer and this is part of your talent."

    "Why do you want to do that? That is dangerous? This is the army base seven we are talking about." she asked in a low voice, not loud enough for anyone passing by to hear her. Her eyes were still widened as she kept staring at me. "This is very important. I told you what my boss said. He told me never to go back unless I bring to him the complete details about the old case." "Do you know what you are talking about?" she held my hand and dragged me away from the gate to a quiet corner close to the base. "If you are caught sneaking in, you are dead. The armies will kill you. You know how harsh they can be." she said quietly even though we were away from the gate.I sighed and looked down. I have no other choice but that. I don't know anyone in the army and I wouldn't be allowed in just like that especially when I am still a junior lawyer. "Elena, if I don't do this I wouldn't be allowed into my office and that will be the end of my career in the council.

The thought of one girl filled his mind and that made him smile unconsciously.The state of the eighth lord caught the attention of two elder lords as they stared at him wondering what he was thinking about. The eighth lord is known to always have a smile on his face but the smile on his face that moment was a different one. The sixth lord realizing what was going on smiled lopsidedly and walked closer to the eighth lord. He placed his hand on his shoulder bringing back his wondering mind back to reality. "So who is the girl? Is her p**sy so sweet that it can't get out of your mind." he asked with a playful grin on his face.The eighth lord, Amzy, removed his hand from his shoulder and gave him a glare.

The president rolled her eyes and sighed in exasperation seeing him walk like that without even a knock and without showing a bit of respect by removing his hand from his pocket, but the young man cared less. His shirt was unbuttoned to the third button revealing his chest and the tattoos drawn on him. He had the perfect look of a crazy Mafia.He sat down and crossed his legs on her table. The president did not say a word. She looked at the vice president who was wondering who the young man is to have entered the president office dressed the way he did. But a gasp escaped his lip when he remembered the familiar face. One of the commander of the armies. Who wouldn't know the crazy Hamilton. Everyone talks about him. "Vice president excuse us please."

'Daniel Lunch, a forty years old man who was found in his apartment with knife stabs and multiple injuries. This is a new case.'I moved my hand across my hair, confused on what to do. I don't even know what to do now or who to meet. I can't meet that Lalisa girl as not all lawyers are allowed to enter any senior office without being invited.I placed my head in the table thinking of what to do to save my ass. I can't even come up with an idea. "Read the case, understand it. If it's an old file, study it. Write down everything about it, witnesses, evidence and so on.
