After that incident, everything became relatively normal. 7 Domum Lane was sold, and Faith began to live in a guest room at her dad’s quarters of the government office. She started kindergarten at a private school, unlike what her mom wanted which was public schools to save money. Not many people were a fan of her dad as the President, so she had few friends. Faith soon learned she had a skill of artistic ability, so that was what she often did in her free time. She got used to her dad drinking too much, and after some time in Elementary School, she learned it was liquor, not lick-her. Even though she didn’t have many friends, she still wasn’t picked on like some, but whenever she saw someone being teased, she would stand up for them, no matter who the person was. If she didn’t say something against the bully, she would feel guilty. Her teachers loved her, and they would often compliment her for sticking up for everyone. Faith would say it’s because of her name and that would always make her teachers laugh. Faith never really thought of her mom although she did remember bits of her childhood with her. She recognized her as loving, caring and protective. The only explanation she could have that would reassure her dad was telling the truth would be to say to herself her mom was a fantastic actress with a motive to kidnap. Since her mom being shot everything was pretty peaceful, and that was how Faith liked it. Her, her pencil and a piece of paper kept her from being bored for 7 years living in her dad’s office.

However, when those seven years came to an end Faith was in seventh grade at a private middle school, and the peace broke. It had just turned 3000, and people spoke of a deadly plague. Worse than death most said and symptoms like torture. The whispered plague soon turned to reality in all five sections of Quinque. School was canceled until further notice and Faith was stuck with her dad in his office. Being the President of Melior’s daughter Faith was protected more than anyone else besides her dad practically, but as Faith soon learned during this time Faith’s dad wasn’t just going to be drunk that whole time. He had his own plans and now being 12 and living in the same space as him; Faith was able to figure them out.

As she learned from hearing multiple phone calls and listening to various voice messages when she appeared to be drawing, her dad was going to take the peoples weakness at this time to take over as Dictator so he could then help regain our population and maintain with the plague. Happy her dad was planning to help Faith was content with the idea, but what she heard wasn’t everything. When her dad rose to power, he promised Quinque medicine guaranteed to get rid of the plague, but only if they agreed to obey him as their leader. When the people decided he was crowned Dictator and a building was built for him, his colleagues, workers, and Faith in an astonishing month. The mansion was beautiful, and Faith was grateful. Within a matter of days, her dad had spoken his first code of conduct. “Millions have died already, and the medicine needs to be sent out, but you guys will have to cooperate too. Due to our lack in population forced families will have to be created except in all of Melior where people will get the medicine for free because they live in the wealthiest region of Quinque.” Dictator Pollock’s overpowering rule started its destruction.
