ThInevitablFate
Chapter 1
I slowly climbed the stairs to the Topworld. Sunlight poured on me and I took
a breath of real, fresh air. Many Topworlders and Beneathers were mingled 
in with each other on the streets, but they barely acknowledged 
each others' existences. I carefully closed and locked the door
to my home in the Beneath and went on my way to my masters' home.

I came to the stately, urban home of the wealthy Shires. I knocked twice and Beth opened the door.
Beth, the maid, is one of my Beneather friends.
If you are wondering about her last name, she has none. None of the Beneathers do.
If someone has the same name as another Beneather, they would
just look up the number of one of them. We all have our own numbers.
My full name is Aurora 747444. 

I asked eagerly,
"Heard you're gonna marry!" She nodded and exclaimed,
"Yes! Harry's excited, too. You're gonna be invited of course!"
She playfully smacked my shoulder. I made my way through the huge home
to the kitchen, where my boss, also a Beneather,
awaited me. "Here I am, Lora," I said as I entered.
Lora sat stiffly on a high stool, writing down on paper at the table.
She barely looked at me and replied sharply,
"I am writing your list of chores to do for today. We are going to be extremely busy for the next week."
I squinted and asked, "Why’s that, Lora?" She replied,
"The Shires are having an extravagant party for their daughter, who is turning 13."

Lora is really annoying and irritating. She sits back with "regality",
but she has a pig face and is like, forty. She’s what you call a wannabe Topworlder.
But, no, her family is dirt poor like the rest of us and she has to live in the Beneath.
Because that’s where you live if you aren’t rich.
The Beneath is an underground world. It has a system which brings fresh air
around, which I don’t know of, but it works.

Let me explain the Beneath. There are many entrances to the Beneath.
The one I came out of was the entrance to my neighborhood in the Beneath.
There are artificial lights and everything. 
But you never know when you might bump into a mole or a spider or something.
There are railroad tracks underground, too. Our way of transportation in the Beneath is by train.
Mistress Lora sometimes tags along with the Shires on their travels.
Gosh. Anyways, the Beneath is just like the Topworld, 
except it’s way less fancier. 

The Topworld is in need of explaining as well, I suppose, so here goes.
The Topworld is for the corrupted government and the rich people on Earth.
Topworlders get high class everything. Beneathers only have 3 days of school
in the week. In class, I learn about these past places called “countries.”
According to textbooks, we live in the “country” that used to be called
“The United States of America.” Not anymore, I guess.
You either live in the Topworld or the Beneath.

The government says the Beneathers owe a debt to the Topworld and it needs to be repaid.
 So all the Beneathers from ages 12 to 60 must work for the Topworlders 'til this "debt" is paid for.
A list of rules goes on for each Beneather. The Topworlders have it good.
I wonder what it must be like to be a Topworlder. Must be grand.
