The rest of the world is in a nuclear winter and you got chosen to survive but why ?
No good could ever come from this situation or could it ...?
Hope you enjoy 💖
"Honey, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU ??" My mum shouted down the phone. "Mum, I'm just on my way home from school I won't be long" "(Y/n) get home now! I'm not joking there's terrible news " "Mum your scaring me, tell me what's wrong" "I will explain as soon as your home now please hurry" The phone cut off before I could answer, this must be really bad I thought as I began to sprint my way home . I reached the front door and took a deep breath, I stepped in and found my family gathered around the tv . "What the hell is going on" I say trying to figure out what was being said on the tv . "Honey, b-bombs are going to be dropped and they doubt the-there will be many survivors, if any" My mum says with tears rolling down her face. "What?" Is all that my mouth can say . I was so confused I didn't understand what was happening there's no way this could happen. "But , (y/n) you need to go pack a bag with some clothes and your important things like your music player and some photos and books and stuff" my dad suddenly says pulling me to my bedroom. "W-what? Why? I'm not leaving any of you, if this is happening we are dying together" "Honey listen, you have been given a chance at life they have chosen you to survive"my dad says grabbing my shoulders . They, what, why was I chosen and chosen by who and where was I even going. I could tell my dad was highly serious so I packed some basic clothes, family photos, my MP3 player and spare batteries because I could not live without music and I had no idea where I was going so I needed to be sure. I also snuck in a new pack of cigs and a lighter cause I only smoked when I was stressed and I knew I was gonna be extremely stressed through whatever this was. I walked back into the kitchen and my mum ran and wrapped her arms around me "I love you (y/n)" Before I even knew what was happening I was being dragged out my house by two men dressed in black and placed in the back of a van. They shut the doors and I just broke down. I didn't even get to say bye. I'm never going to see them again. On the journey I realised that my life as I knew it would be gone, the people I love well loved would be taken away and I was never going to see them again, my school would be gone and life itself for me now had no meaning. WHY ME? what was so special about boring old me ! I'd rather just DIE!! ———————— After hours upon hours of travelling , the van stops and I hear a gate open we drive a bit further and I am given what looks like a space suit thing, I suppose it's to protect me from whatever has happened on the outside. I step out and I feel my heart drop. There was no scenery it was all fogged over with red clouds and there was nothing in site for miles. The only thing I could see was this spiral building that I was now being dragged towards. Once inside I was placed in a shut off room by myself under what looked like a large vent. Suddenly air came out and blew over me . A door in front of me opened and a suited up man came and scanned me, the machine beeped . Which I assumed meant that I was clear from whatever was outside.
Then the door in front of me opened and I heard footsteps but also the thud of what seemed to be a cane. "I am Ms Wilhemina Venable, but you should only ever address me as Ms Venable!!" The woman before me was the most breathtaking person I had seen , she was wearing an old fashioned black victorian style dress that was corseted and covered in lace. It hugged her body perfectly. Her dark red hair was in a tight updo , and she had minimal makeup on. Her enchanting deep brown eyes, entranced me the most , even though she had a sour look upon her face I could see there was more behind her eyes. She was also the reasoning for the noise, she walked with a cane but I wasn't quite sure why, but i will find out eventually.
"Miss (y/l/n) take off you suit and follow me , promptly!" Wilhemina says hitting her cane against the floor snapping me from the thoughts. I quickly took of the suit and followed behind her and another short stumpy woman who I came to learn was Ms mead. "This is outpost 3, you have been chosen to be saved from this nuclear winter. There are 2 types of people within this place the grays are servants, grateful for detachment from the fallout. And the purples, which you will be part off, who have either payed their way in or been chosen by the cooperative." Before she continues on with her sentence i sheepishly ask "And what are you Wilhemina" "It's Ms Venable to you as I made clear from the start! And I am neither , I am the leader of the outpost and I wish for you not to interrupt me again!!" She says glaring at me . "We have very strict rules here which we expect to be followed . Breakfast lunch and dinner will be at 7am,1pm and 7pm, you are expected to be punctual. There is no excuse to be late when there is nothing else to do . You must not step foot outside this building.Sexual contact or any kind of copulation is forbidden and you should be within your room by 9pm. If any of these rules are broken there will be punishments"
God I hated rules, I knew that I would probably end up breaking one of them , best prepare myself for punishment and also what are we children . Bed by 9 I don't fucking think so.
"Do you understand Miss (y/l/n)!!"
I quickly nodded not wanting to piss off Venable within the first 10 minutes. We walk through the dimly lit outpost as there is no electricity everything is just lit by candles which I liked because it almost fell calming even with the whole situation. We eventually reach a door. "This is your room , you have purple outfits within your wardrobe and I expect you to dress appropriately for meal time" She said this, turnt and left the room. Leaving me in silence . The room wasn't bad it had a nice double bed and I had a fire with a little table and chair placed in front, an attached bathroom and a large wardrobe containing loads of different Victorian style dresses and corsets . Nightwear and everything. I didn't mind the clothing I thought it was rather beautiful. I decided to unpack my stuff putting my few clothes I'd grabbed away. Hiding the cigarettes under my bed cause I knew there was no way they would be allowed but I needed them now more than ever. I put my mp3 and the family photos I had grabbed on my bed side table and left the spare batteries in my bag . Looking at the picture tears filled my eyes but I held them back and knew that they wouldn't want me to be upset and thrive in the fact I had been chosen . But why had I been chosen why me ?. I got so distracted I didn't even look at the clock above my door . Shit it's 6.45 and I have to change and get ready then go to dinner. I ran to the wardrobe pulling out a white shirt with a purple corset and skirt . Luckily getting dressed didn't take to long.

Thank good my hair was in plaits I took them out and brush through my wavy hair with my fingers. God that would have to do , I put on a bit of mascara and some lipstick as that was all I had time for. I ran out my room and down the corridor. Fuck where do I even go . I was definitely going to be late now, so I stoped rushing as any type of late wouldn't be accepted. I walked down some stairs and saw a 'gray'. "Hey I'm (y/n) could you please help me I have no clue where I am going in this god forsaken place . Where is the dining room?" "I'm Mallory , follow me this way . Quick your rather late" the girl said not making eye contact which I thought was strange but I assumed it was due to me being a purple . We reached a door and she pushed it open "Good luck" I walked in and all eyes drew to me, especially Miss Venable. God this was awkward .i heard some of the other purple saying about my outfit. I slowly walked towards the table. "Miss (y/l/n) what time do you call this you are 10 minutes late!!" Miss Venable says standing up from her chair and placing both her gloved hands upon the head on her cane . She looks beautiful but quite intimidating. "There is no reason to be late wh-" "When there is nothing else to do . Yes yes I know . But I got lost in this massive building" Miss Venables face was suddenly painted with rage . Shit I had interrupted her . God this wasn't going to end well. "Ms Mead , take her to the basement IMMEDIATELY!!" She yells. The basement what the fuck is the basement. I see the pure fear in all the purple eyes and suddenly two guards were dragging me out and down the hall . I didn't see the point of fighting cause I wasn't fucking scared . This bitch could do her worst . I was taken into a cold and dingy room and placed in the middle. I was stripped down to my underwear and was chained to the floor by my ankles and my arms were chained above me with chains that came from the ceiling . I tried to pull on them but there was no hope to it . The guards left and I suddenly hear the silence be filled with the thuds of Venables cane... ——————————————————————- A/n: sorry (not sorry) to leave it on a cliffhanger 🤣🤣
