all that billie wanted to do that day was catch up on some much needed rest. there was also the fact that she had a few chores she had been meaning to do. the chores being stuff that was outside. yet she had been forcefully ripped from sleep's embrace by her father yelling at the top of his lungs. plus he was slamming the broom into the ceiling since her room was above the kitchen. apparently he needed her to go to the grocery store. that was why she dragged herself out of bed far earlier than she had anticipated. after all she hadn't gotten home till about four in the morning. she glanced at the alarm clock on her nightstand to see it was only eight. she cursed but forced herself to get dressed. a yawn was escaping from her as she stumbled down the stairs only to find that he actually had written a list. what made her pause was how many six packs of beer he wrote down. normally she just bought a twelve pack but he was asking for her to buy two separate six packs. yet she knew better than to question unless she wanted her head ripped off.

by the time she returned home she had noticed what looked to be a moving truck in the house next door. it had been empty for the better part of a year due to the old woman who resided in being shipped off to a nursing home. she had noticed the for sale sign was gone a few weeks prior but had honestly forgotten about it. she shrugged before she carted everything inside. once it all was put away she was going to take care of the pile of dishes in the sink. only for her dad to appear, yawning as he told her to take one of the cases of beer over to the neighbor. she sighed before she was going to grab one of the cases. only to step back outside and make her way across the yard. a sigh escaped from her as she glanced around. the dull lifeless colors that greeted her just made her mood that much worse.

she pushed that thought from her mind as she stepped onto the front porch. of course she had to shift the beer in her grasp to actually knock on the door. part of her wasn't sure if she wanted whoever it was to be home or not. it was likely her luck that it would be some woman her dad wanted to make a good impression on. yet the moment the door opened, she found herself gasping loudly. the moment her eyes had landed on him it was like a flash and suddenly her vision was flooded with the blues, the greens and all the colors around them. it dawned on her right then what happened and she nearly dropped the beer as the thought hit," i just-holy-this isn't possible!" there was no way in hell she had a soulmate.

it had been a number of days since the incident that had cost her the makeshift family she had formed. she had been trying to find a source for water. only to come back to see them being torn apart. she had done what she could to try to save them but it hadn't mattered. the last thing that she remembered was the sound of screams and then it had gone black. the moment that she had woken up she had realized that she wasn't out in the woods. instead she was in what seemed to be a makeshift infirmary. it hadn't taken long for her to realize that she had been dragged to one of the many communities that littered the so called world.

she had been declared healthy by the so called doctor. little did she know that was actually a bad thing. at least a bad thing as far as she was concerned. it had taken her all of five seconds to realize that the place wasn't what it seemed. sure there were happy smiling faces but there was something beneath the surface. she had been assigned to help with the garden. everyone seemed to have some sort of job but one thing she realized was that women were viewed as a resource. men were allowed to use them whenever and wherever they wanted. she had seen one of the guards take a woman on all fours the third day she was in the gardens.

she had been staying in the infirmary until they figured out where to put her. the one time she had asked about getting her weapons and supplies back, they told her it wasn't possible. she had been given a tour and the walls they had up were sturdy. they also had armed guards watching every exit. the leader had come to check on her only to explain that she had been granted a very special privilege. she was to be married off to a man who would take good care of her. she had spoken to a few of the other women who had explained marriage was the only form of protection.

the day of the wedding was upon them and she had no idea who her supposed husband would be. she had tried to run the night before only to be caught by one of the women she was rooming with. she had been told she'd be thrown in one of the pits if she tried to leave. that was how she found herself in a white dress and promising herself to a man that she knew nothing about save for his name, ezra. he had apparently just come back from a supply run. a party was being thrown which she didn't understand the need for.

she found herself sitting along the curb of the street while watching the others dance. each and every one of them were strangers. they had generators which was how music was even being played. it was kept low and it was the middle of the day. she was surprised when her now husband came to sit beside her. timidly she smiled even if her mind was racing," this is all just...a lot and feels..strange."
