Hi guys this is an original story, a distopic novel in which 6 teenagers find themselves banding together in order to survive. Hope you like it :)

THE
UNWANTEDS

The Society

Terry Evergreener:

"Hello everyone. I'm Terry Evergreener the conductor of this society. We
are a peaceful group with no intention of harm. We divide this grand area into
sectors for this very reason, to keep the peace. Imagine a bullseye, this is
how we are layered out.. The Grand City Center in the center. The poorest and
the orphanage on the next ring so we have the better ability to protect them.
The three middle class rings are in the middle and the two upper class rings on
the outside. Course we have a military ring circling the very outer edge of the
society so that danger never penetrates the boundaries. Then there is the
wilderness. We send the Unwanteds out there to learn important lessons so that
they are better accepted into our society. We run a clean environment for
everyone to live and grow and learn. As some history to give you we were
established more than 50 years ago as an idea to create a better and more
organized society as well as a more peaceful one. We do not have just one
president, dictator, or monarchy. We are more of a self-sustaining area with me
as a figure head. To give speeches from the people and not as anything much
else. Thank you."

I turned off the video broadcast and stepped down. "Where's the last batch
of the misfortunate?" I barked at my assistant Karry Lemm.

"Being thrown out now ma'am and might I say what a convincing speech you
put on." She beamed handing me my Chi Latte. I scoffed, her joyfulness
annoyed me. She was the epitome of exactly what I despised. I grabbed the latte
from her grasp and stalked down the hallway. My tall black shoes clacking
against the pure white marble floors. I sat down at my computer tapping my
fingers on the keys, sending the email to throw the little street rats out. I
snickered, have fun kids, your problems are only beginning.

Fears

Lillian Parker:

The name's Lillian Parker. Fears, mine? Yeah, sounds about right. My parents
have to me to be afraid, I resent them for this. It leaves me weak. Animals, they
will be my death and I'm sure of it. I know much and train little. I'm narrow
and small and certainly not built for hand to hand combat. I know this so I
stick with my knowledge, nature and survival skills, that I've obtained. I
asked for this though. The fight that had put me in my situation. My parents
never loved me, they only cared for my sister and everyone knew this. I was
miserable but I wanted to prove myself. If I could survive the Unwanteds they'd
love me at least a little more.

The day of the fight was nightmarish and surreal. It plays back it my head over
and over still as if it happened minutes ago.

*italic* "You think you're perfect and you're NOT! You a scrawny little
bird of a thing and I could snap you like a twig!" *Normal* I fidgeted at
the insult. Birds were terrible. The worst and she knew KNEW that was my worst
fear.

*italic* "I can survive! You're just an oaf with no intellect
WHATSOEVER!" *normal* This is when my parents came to her aide, my father
hitting my head with his hand knocking me over onto all fours. My mom huddled
over the sobbing fool, pitiful, that wasn't even a terrible insult.

*italic* "Fine then, throw me with the Unwanteds because you obviously
don't care about me!" *normal* My eyes were wet with tears when I had said
it, I remember the pain throbbing in the back of my head from where he hit me.
But, I couldn't stay. I was abused to the point of near insanity. So, now you
know the beginning.

My old resident was House 5 of Atwater Street, Sector 7, born of High Class,
the society. That was part of our stamps or marks, the stamp would look
somewhat like this.

LP H5AS-S7HCS

11/26/38

5729574291

This was my stamp, my old one, the middle line was my birthday and the last my
code, so if they needed to find me, they would. But they changed it, I still
had the birthday and the code but my first line, my line of residency, was
changed to W-UNWTD. Or meaning wilderness- unwanted. When it was changed it
stung like a branding they used so long ago to see who owned what cow. I was
thrown into the wilderness then, which I wasn't afraid of in general but the
animals, I could hear them. I knew that these were my eventual fate but I was
going to survive as best I could, my knowledge of wilderness was huge, massive,
natural science was my forte. So I set off, food and water being the only thing
on my mind.

Serah Smithsdale:

Hi, erm, I guess... My name is Serah. And I am part of the Unwanteds. I, I'm
sorry, I'm not good with people or much else other than hunting and animals.
Fears? Everything. Darkness, heights, being alone... And now I am... I have to
face all of these, sometimes all at once. My build is fair for fighting, though
I prefer guns and bows with arrows or even throwing knives, but don't get me
wrong, my hand to hand combat skill isn't horrible. And, my family life stunk
but I'm not ready to go into that yet. I'm shy of people at first but I warm up
once I've rambled on a little as I have now.

My boyfriend, Nathan, is who keeps me strong. He was cast out as well but we
were separated. His brown eyes had locked with my violet ones the last time we
had seen each other, his lips had pressed against mine and his fingers ran
through my blonde hair down to my red colored tips. I miss him. But I can't
think about that now, I'm unarmed in a place with every fear possible, which is
my goal. Conquer my fears. I have a list of how to survive, it's the basics but
I think it'll work.

Surviving:

- weapon

- food & water

- shelter

- find Nathan

- conquer phobias

Well, I don't know what much else to tell you. I have no idea what to use for a
weapon which was my only hope. Where is Nathan now?

Travis Engleman:

This is stupid. Names Travis. I belong in that place. They kicked me outta
there cause 'parently I'm too stupid and cause too much trouble. The last fight
I was in I broke my foot. Not on purpose and no way no other guy touched me. I
am strong, can kill stuffs easily. I use this to survive, I'll show dem all
that I can live there. I have no fear, nothing can hurt me.

Anna-gale Xi:

Hello. I am Anna-gale, sister of Pings. I am not able to comprehend the reason
for taking us out of the society. For we were not harming anyone, in reality we
were making many happy with our music. The birds seem to sing along and many
people know is by name. Yet because of our lack of finances and our youth we
were discarded like trash. My only real fears are fear itself and a world
without music. I believe that our songs and our abilities will help us. We too
know the needs for survival, the usual food and water along with a tiny beam of
hope provided by shelter.
