"Azalea come on someone might see you out there." I hear my brother Nate call from the window.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAGnDaNTrMTz
I grab one more blue flower from the bush and run inside.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAT130wHTXyV
I hear the wooden door of our cottage slam back behind me.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAUPZZgcgnmp
"Sorry, sorry, sorry!" I say before Nate can get the words out.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAzDqAvRVZJi
"I've told you a thousand times to stop slamming the door. Now go wash your hands dinner is ready." Nate says and I scramble to my room.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAe2kXVeaxD1
My room is in the basement under the stairs because I often have to hide from strangers who come to the door.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAWd6hBPYcfI
I don't know much but my brother told me that 25 years ago families became illegal.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAb4FRJaSHW5
Our state called Dorado separated it's self from the rest of America and decided to leave by its own rules
698Please respect copyright.PENANAPddefhVZ4E
3 years later a war broke out between the men and women because they could not agree weather a man should be in charge or a woman.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAKRkLX0afy3
After the war the two genders separated themselves, the men took what was left of the city and the women took the woods.
698Please respect copyright.PENANA2nb76gkqyK
Homme is the name for the left side of the bridge where the male clones live.
698Please respect copyright.PENANARfX6DR0oYN
Femme is the name of the right side of the bridge that the woman clones live.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAn4mqtrounA
The two sides are separated by a bridge that no one crosses over.
698Please respect copyright.PENANA51FE6MT6ie
Neither side even makes mention of the other.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAhGWlLMZiLK
The men having taken the factories and computers designed a way to make humans, clones so that they could continue on their species without having to find a wife like in the old days.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAiRao9W2n0N
The women never got that technology so their breed slowly died out.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAhuARdtzrME
As far as i know they are all gone.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAxJuPQPEGPq
My mother, Rosalina Harper, was the only other girl to survive besides me.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAjhIob6L1Or
My dad,Thomas,did not agree with the program neither did his brother.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAYs1k4HURt9
You can't leave the state if you were born here so dad and his brother hide with their families.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAzzp9qbEeKD
My uncle funded the clone making program in hope to erase humans and create creatures that could live longer.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAo1VrZd4cCx
My uncle did not agree with dad that we should all be human and not clone so they two separated leaving my aunt in the woman's side and my dad and uncle separated but on the men's side of Dorado.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAyUKGVIWmRd
My uncle became the ruler of the male side and my aunt the ruler on the female side.
698Please respect copyright.PENANA4i74jNIJnO
My dad was imprisoned by his brother for birthing children and later killed.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAv1VoflGT8a
698Please respect copyright.PENANAgpEyIAmFUU
Dorado is a ruined state because of the war.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAMtX2NxrAzK
Very few trees line the streets of the city.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAixXJt1L7fp
Most of the grass is long but gone, burned by battle.
698Please respect copyright.PENANA69M6H6UbWl
No crops or flowers grow here except one species of flowers.
698Please respect copyright.PENANApGURcFh0Yi
Blue Azaleas
698Please respect copyright.PENANAarDVzEKMGx
I adore them.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAsJuHWQcNkK
I think of the flowers as myself living in the Homme.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAqofi5UrbgB
I might be the only girl left on the planet.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAfJV44DkFbv
I've never seen a girl like myself only a picture of my mom.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAgbivKFqVfV
She was beautiful.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAwZ2WEVfg02
With long black hair like mine and a lacey white dress that i now wear.
698Please respect copyright.PENANADViR9GuVkT
My brother was born 8 years before I was born.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAvr24D8aSI4
I've never met my parents my mother died giving birth to me and my dad was killed by his brother a month later.
698Please respect copyright.PENANADi9NYjfxEX
Nate tells me they were wonderful parents.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAhUu6dKj0pa
After my parents were gone, Nate has taken care of me ever since.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAZMyHRJc9ua
"This is my favorite time of year." I say showing Nate the Azaleas I found outside.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAMRawk7IP0o
"I knew when I picked it, that name would suit you well." Nate said smiling and showing carrots into his mouth.
698Please respect copyright.PENANA0uYy6sZasb
My dad let Nate name me when i was young after my mother passed.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAp0VUb3YHIl
Azalea Rosalina Harper.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAf8kF5sP2h1
Thats the name he chose for me.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAoFb53DuXrM
Nate Thomas Harper
That's Nate's full name.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAYocwqNKGAZ
698Please respect copyright.PENANAWzY6AWtrhM
"Carrots again?" I give him a grossed out face.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAiIRrdUZG8l
"I told you as soon as Jerry gives me a better deal on the cows we will have actual food." Nate reassures
698Please respect copyright.PENANA3gKfkWQkEG
"Okay." I say.
698Please respect copyright.PENANABT8esWx9BJ
After dinner I look outside and down the hill I see little boys who look about my age playing in the creek.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAuADHt0rXiL
"Nate! One day can I play in the creek." I ask not taking my eyes off the boys.
698Please respect copyright.PENANA37GDjUElrK
"One day Azalea," He says as he kisses the top of my head.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAHV5aTIwtcS
"When are you going to brush this nest." Nate says trying to rake his hands through my messy hair.
698Please respect copyright.PENANA08OHTv2H1r
My hair is long and hangs down to ankles.
698Please respect copyright.PENANABUeWYenBei
Nate never lets me cut it.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAoJUOXYVDlg
"Well if you would let me cut it just a little maybe it wouldn't take so long to do." I plead
698Please respect copyright.PENANA99K4aOEe4k
"No, mom never cut her hair so neither should you." Nate says grabbing a brush and starting to brush my hair.
698Please respect copyright.PENANATS1lMqNwdb
"Ouch Nate. Your too rough. Do you even know what your doing?" I try to grab the brush but he is too tall.
698Please respect copyright.PENANANC4aNCC3W6
"Uh Yeah....i saw mom do it all the time." Nate says from behind me.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAUJCg1QcfFu
"Nate you going to make be bald ripping my hair like that." I try to run be his hands are stuck in my hair.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAOGERqDqMMa
"I'm no ripping out your hair....I'm just....aggressively separating it." Nate chuckles to himself.
698Please respect copyright.PENANApaoAZ5UMmX
I finally get ahold of the brush and finish my hair with a nice braid.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAeyKVSUfWnm
"Okay...time fo be young one." Nate hugs me
698Please respect copyright.PENANAobnfV3gy3h
I'm to tired to say anything.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAXkbqdsgyyA
I hear the sound of the basement door lock above me and the sound of the carpet slide back over the door.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAAPiHuw0kAz
I scoot my chair up to my vanity.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAgorzIrETEf
698Please respect copyright.PENANA7Pp8brwPL8
I take a long look in the mirror before putting on my favorite night dress, that perfectly complements my tan skin.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAgS9nyDpQu2
I turn off the light and fall fast asleep.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAofGspOm6iN
698Please respect copyright.PENANAIEhSND3r7D
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
698Please respect copyright.PENANAaGPaBMfQm6
The next morning
698Please respect copyright.PENANAZFnuEADrl9
I wake up at 5 am every morning before the guards on the street set watch so that I can go outside for a bit.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAaPr4k3mE52
I basically inhale my plate of eggs thinking about the beautiful Azalea flowers in the backyard.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAj5ZmxN8Chp
"Not so fast, wash your plate." Nate says walking out of his room in his pajama pants and no shirt.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAnP4MXvnvh0
"Ew put a shirt on freak." I jokingly punch him in the stomach as I go to wash my plate.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAoQ3SmzXFG7
"Knock, knock, knock."
698Please respect copyright.PENANAcec2f9tJvo
"Shit! Azalea in the basement now." Nate pushes me.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAE7X1TimqSf
I do as he says.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAn1oTY0oLy5
I place my ear on the door once I'm in the basement.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAzCZV3hzPUb
I hear the sound of 2 guards.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAm53t1BrkW6
"Hey there Nate!" I hear one of them say, "were just doing random inspections, nothing to worry about."
698Please respect copyright.PENANAfeUwXrL3k1
"Yeah." Nate laughs nervously
698Please respect copyright.PENANAoNPl2wdHSk
"You thought anymore about the offer?" One officer ask.
698Please respect copyright.PENANA3XZ66RHFS3
"....No.....No i havent ." Nate says nervously.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAQWV7lYNIh7
What offer?
698Please respect copyright.PENANAXzGyttSio9
What feels like an hour goes by and I finally hear the basement door open up.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAckxpPBrnKR
"Everything okay?" I say placing the rug back over the door.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAAcarNnLl1G
"Yeah!" Nate says but it sounds like a lie.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAfHJUXyVJWu
I decide not to ask him about it.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAFQOm3AceAX
"Azalea you have to be more careful. You left your flowers on the table,but they didn't say anything about them." Nate says flopping down on the couch, "I don't know what I would do if they found you. I promised mom I would take care of you and I feel like I'm not doing a good job."
698Please respect copyright.PENANAztarEKUmmb
"Shut up! You are doing an amazing job. If mom were here she would say the same thing." I say sitting beside him and give him a hug.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAzSx49W2Zoc
He hugs me back.
698Please respect copyright.PENANANykfMsipO6
I check my watch.
698Please respect copyright.PENANAQYOci3fKXy
6:22am
698Please respect copyright.PENANAJXRqeqpzOG
"Dang it, the stupid guards took all my outside time." I say sadly.
698Please respect copyright.PENANA5KMXCShIPl
"Sorry young one. We can watch a movie I don't have work today." Nate says
698Please respect copyright.PENANANNxEp9raRC
"Okay yes, but only if I get to pick the movie." I giggle
698Please respect copyright.PENANAlRVJQoX5iV
"Fine I guess so." Nate tickles me
