Chapter 1

6 years ago.

“ Octavia! Honey come on, we have to go now. We don’t want to be late for your Election Day!”, my mother yelled at me from downstairs.

“ I’m almost ready!” I yelled back at her while I put on the earrings that she had given me as a present that day. Once I was finished I went downstairs.

“ Octavia you look amazing. Let’s take a picture real quick.”

“Mom we have to go, plus today we find out if your dear little Octavia stays or not.” Blake, my older brother sneered my way.

“ Shut up.” I said coldly as I looked directly into his eyes. I walked out and got into the car.

Election Day, how to forget it, whenever you turn thirteen you have to take a test to see what blood color you have. If you have red, we’ll that basically means you are at the bottom of the food chain, these are who we call the normies, they pretty much aren’t a threat to anybody. If you have gold, well you kind of got lucky, some of them become like duchess, get treated with respect sometimes, but they are not stronger than the silvers, the silvers are like the second in command, they have powers, they are stronger but not the strongest in the pyramid, for the one that are on the top are the white, they are rare, like gods that are to be feared. They look down on whoever is not their color, especially the red bloods.

“ Mom, what if Octavia is a red blood? Like dad?” I stiffened as my brother asked my mom, before I could say anything, my hand had sung rapidly, slapping Blake across the face. My mom and brother turned to look at me bewildered.

“ Do not ever speak like that, our father was more warrior than even the Whites, who are you Blake to speak like that, it might show that you are a silver but even the reds are better than you at everything you do. And you” I turned to my mother “ How could you even say you loved him, how could you call yourself his wife, if not even a year has passed and you already fucking his best friend.”

Nobody spoke after that. Me a thirteen year old, had made both my brother and mother speechless. It might have been an uncomfortable ride for them, but for me it was a peaceful ride. Though deep down I couldn’t help but think of today was the last day I would see them. For today I will now what color of blood runs through my vains.

“ Octavia, I didn’t mean to disrespect you or father. I know how much he meant to you. I’m just worried that something might happen to you.” , Blake looked down at the floor, I could see tears running down.

” Blake there is nothing to worry about. Even if something were to happen. We made a promise, remember.” As I finished speaking, I looked at my brother.

“ Yeah, I remember. That if something happens to one or the other, that we will take care of mom.” He replied with a tiny smile.
