"Azalea come on someone might see you out there." I hear my brother Nate call from the window.
604Please respect copyright.PENANA0glLxoJjR1
I grab one more blue flower from the bush and run inside.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAOuMcH2yb1J
I hear the wooden door of our cottage slam back behind me.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAohSXCYZ6Zd
"Sorry, sorry, sorry!" I say before Nate can get the words out.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAPBF0aWlzT4
"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.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAZfUmOxEs3m
My room is in the basement under the stairs because I often have to hide from strangers who come to the door.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAtipRgt3oTv
I don't know much but my brother told me that 25 years ago families became illegal.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAh0gYOFXujX
Our state called Dorado separated it's self from the rest of America and decided to leave by its own rules
604Please respect copyright.PENANAc1MimvcpSN
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.
604Please respect copyright.PENANA52hDuAas13
After the war the two genders separated themselves, the men took what was left of the city and the women took the woods.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAnGyVhB47ep
Homme is the name for the left side of the bridge where the male clones live.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAzeNWnSmZta
Femme is the name of the right side of the bridge that the woman clones live.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAi2JcsL32kx
The two sides are separated by a bridge that no one crosses over.
604Please respect copyright.PENANARbkzBr8wyv
Neither side even makes mention of the other.
604Please respect copyright.PENANArynxrWUeXP
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.
604Please respect copyright.PENANA4HzHIuL9el
The women never got that technology so their breed slowly died out.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAXzaAYWEpud
As far as i know they are all gone.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAc7avNUn6iN
My mother, Rosalina Harper, was the only other girl to survive besides me.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAmnzFtDd1ob
My dad,Thomas,did not agree with the program neither did his brother.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAFxfmvymxdw
You can't leave the state if you were born here so dad and his brother hide with their families.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAkjPFKhxUWo
My uncle funded the clone making program in hope to erase humans and create creatures that could live longer.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAdQcFp2D8pd
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.
604Please respect copyright.PENANA3CopMoeR7Z
My uncle became the ruler of the male side and my aunt the ruler on the female side.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAM3JFucHe7q
My dad was imprisoned by his brother for birthing children and later killed.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAuM4zpx0WNN
604Please respect copyright.PENANAYtV2Q4RPUz
Dorado is a ruined state because of the war.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAQYb3TyH9cB
Very few trees line the streets of the city.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAlUhchsXOo8
Most of the grass is long but gone, burned by battle.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAgiaGeFczPm
No crops or flowers grow here except one species of flowers.
604Please respect copyright.PENANA5m1w5jSwqV
Blue Azaleas
604Please respect copyright.PENANAQUPzLmurOz
I adore them.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAXla6MkWVtQ
I think of the flowers as myself living in the Homme.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6oqWmgrXS
I might be the only girl left on the planet.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAlj8Fk65I3X
I've never seen a girl like myself only a picture of my mom.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAuawBcCYGW6
She was beautiful.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAYUwZHMih7B
With long black hair like mine and a lacey white dress that i now wear.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAb6zVPphfkQ
My brother was born 8 years before I was born.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAg254iLCxQm
I've never met my parents my mother died giving birth to me and my dad was killed by his brother a month later.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAqXp9kNyrlB
Nate tells me they were wonderful parents.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAD8Zqv9ycz0
After my parents were gone, Nate has taken care of me ever since.
604Please respect copyright.PENANA37T5JeuEf6
"This is my favorite time of year." I say showing Nate the Azaleas I found outside.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAuoWqjmsSxd
"I knew when I picked it, that name would suit you well." Nate said smiling and showing carrots into his mouth.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAIxDgLkBXmd
My dad let Nate name me when i was young after my mother passed.
604Please respect copyright.PENANA56bofNuZXg
Azalea Rosalina Harper.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAlqBQBbQFYr
Thats the name he chose for me.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAY0II1WUWIk
Nate Thomas Harper
That's Nate's full name.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAZKFM9vGvdw
604Please respect copyright.PENANAc3eE2K5bxC
"Carrots again?" I give him a grossed out face.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAaEc3Qf2R0q
"I told you as soon as Jerry gives me a better deal on the cows we will have actual food." Nate reassures
604Please respect copyright.PENANAvol8c0NbPd
"Okay." I say.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAJkYbDvQsQX
After dinner I look outside and down the hill I see little boys who look about my age playing in the creek.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAQKyMjSb2GE
"Nate! One day can I play in the creek." I ask not taking my eyes off the boys.
604Please respect copyright.PENANACHxVOlj7lS
"One day Azalea," He says as he kisses the top of my head.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAI8BpajaQmP
"When are you going to brush this nest." Nate says trying to rake his hands through my messy hair.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAq1Ey0JAcer
My hair is long and hangs down to ankles.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAdk3mU7ntjY
Nate never lets me cut it.
604Please respect copyright.PENANA9VHaGMEVdI
"Well if you would let me cut it just a little maybe it wouldn't take so long to do." I plead
604Please respect copyright.PENANAk6uKAKVOHy
"No, mom never cut her hair so neither should you." Nate says grabbing a brush and starting to brush my hair.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAOtk0FwihME
"Ouch Nate. Your too rough. Do you even know what your doing?" I try to grab the brush but he is too tall.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAM5YcS47NgL
"Uh Yeah....i saw mom do it all the time." Nate says from behind me.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAL188AD2L7D
"Nate you going to make be bald ripping my hair like that." I try to run be his hands are stuck in my hair.
604Please respect copyright.PENANA7ureGv5sep
"I'm no ripping out your hair....I'm just....aggressively separating it." Nate chuckles to himself.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAONgNWoRia4
I finally get ahold of the brush and finish my hair with a nice braid.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAOr2qscfTQW
"Okay...time fo be young one." Nate hugs me
604Please respect copyright.PENANA3UPgFonyZL
I'm to tired to say anything.
604Please respect copyright.PENANALZv0XpNcAG
I hear the sound of the basement door lock above me and the sound of the carpet slide back over the door.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAY8h3X9IeK7
I scoot my chair up to my vanity.
604Please respect copyright.PENANACOy57uuZYw
604Please respect copyright.PENANAlmPJNPEtms
I take a long look in the mirror before putting on my favorite night dress, that perfectly complements my tan skin.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAwtFYDyfYBA
I turn off the light and fall fast asleep.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAdaih1OtIQW
604Please respect copyright.PENANAjIdWKEPYw8
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
604Please respect copyright.PENANA9ydSwgFQXI
The next morning
604Please respect copyright.PENANANHkeIlwkbl
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.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAzBgfbUfhfK
I basically inhale my plate of eggs thinking about the beautiful Azalea flowers in the backyard.
604Please respect copyright.PENANApMO2RS8Bc2
"Not so fast, wash your plate." Nate says walking out of his room in his pajama pants and no shirt.
604Please respect copyright.PENANABIyjFqBbPj
"Ew put a shirt on freak." I jokingly punch him in the stomach as I go to wash my plate.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAgPPuLdDM4m
"Knock, knock, knock."
604Please respect copyright.PENANAUdKQ7zVXcq
"Shit! Azalea in the basement now." Nate pushes me.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAFSyaHPbVfl
I do as he says.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAk9PkRKdfkA
I place my ear on the door once I'm in the basement.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAUmBAQWC82S
I hear the sound of 2 guards.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAxL4hWD9f1c
"Hey there Nate!" I hear one of them say, "were just doing random inspections, nothing to worry about."
604Please respect copyright.PENANAucHNKVbNEo
"Yeah." Nate laughs nervously
604Please respect copyright.PENANAVBZyCPgGuR
"You thought anymore about the offer?" One officer ask.
604Please respect copyright.PENANABznLUw9Ljh
"....No.....No i havent ." Nate says nervously.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAFa6vdnujXa
What offer?
604Please respect copyright.PENANAkA2fDA0n8u
What feels like an hour goes by and I finally hear the basement door open up.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAYFBQPlywnb
"Everything okay?" I say placing the rug back over the door.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAyVwyvPOmlv
"Yeah!" Nate says but it sounds like a lie.
604Please respect copyright.PENANABJcLgjIJyL
I decide not to ask him about it.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAAz2LG5QprF
"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."
604Please respect copyright.PENANAKYQBY2NuT8
"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.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAS28aw4oteV
He hugs me back.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAXQ3pwZqbEM
I check my watch.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAyTRnnIbvHB
6:22am
604Please respect copyright.PENANA66OatwvtmC
"Dang it, the stupid guards took all my outside time." I say sadly.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAb93WBnymIU
"Sorry young one. We can watch a movie I don't have work today." Nate says
604Please respect copyright.PENANA2oHQ5Qn4j0
"Okay yes, but only if I get to pick the movie." I giggle
604Please respect copyright.PENANANDWDvItGJM
"Fine I guess so." Nate tickles me
