"We have hot water" Gareth says

"Oh yeah, you know what? I'll totally ignore the fact you've taken me from my Uncle and go with you, a total stranger for the best thing since sliced fucking bread. Hot damn water!" I say in a sarcastic tone

"You're funny kid. I like you" Gareth told me wagging his finger

I glare at him as the other guy steps forward snatching Ray roughly away from me

"Hey man!" Ray and I say together

Gareth grabs me dragging my thrashing body toward the door

"Help! Let me go you ass!" I scream

"You are really light. Did your Uncle even take care of you?" Gareth asks

"You son of a bitch! Don't ever talk about my Uncle like that, he's done everything to protect me, he loves me!" I argue

"Obviously he hasn't done enough if you're here" Gareth says

"Stop" I say

"Has he ever hurt you?"

"Stop"

"How close were you to being raped?"

"STOP! Just stop"

Gareth smiled at my breakdown and puts an arm around my shoulder

"Now it's time for the obedience clearing"

Gareth leads me outside and he locks me in some huge metal box car thing.

"Jay?"

"I'm here" I say stepping into the light

Ray and I hug each other

"So what is the obedience clearing?" I ask

"I guess they keep us in here until we're "nice" enough to be introduced to Terminus" Ray tells me sighing

"So...what do they do to us? Do they just leave us in here and comeback in a couple days?" I push on tugging my hair a little

"I..I don't know" Ray says sitting down

******Four days later*****

"Please, let us out!" Ray yells hitting the walls of the box car

We haven't been fed in four days and I was beginning to weaken, I have horrible stomach cramps and they took our backpacks. Ray has been taking care of me, holding my hand, letting me squeeze him when the cramps started, and he held my hair back whenever I threw up.

"Are you ready to behave?" Gareth asked

I sensed his malicious smirk behind that metal door

"You-" Ray covered my mouth

"Yes" He sighs looking at me

Gareth opens the door and the cramps come back again

"Ray....." I breathed heavily

Ray rushed to my side holding my hand but Gareth pulled him away from me and picked me up as I clenched my stomach in pain. Gareth took me to a room as Ray trails behind, I was given two pills and a glass of water. I gladly took the medicine and my cramps and pains slowly went away.

"Now I'll leave you two to get washed up and I will be back to take you to your welcome party" Gareth said dismissing himself

There was a washer and dryer in the room next door, a full bathroom, two sandwiches, and two glasses full of what I'm guessing is cranberry juice.

"I'll wash the clothes, and you take a shower. Then you dry the clothes, and I take a shower" Ray says

I give him a thumbs up and head for the shower, I undress and wrap a towel around myself handing him my clothes. I take my shower and yet again I grimace at the sight of dirt, I happily shave, and wash my curly hair causing my whole body to smell of vanilla which I didn't mind in the slightest. I wrap myself in a towel walking out of the bathroom, switching places with Ray.

I dry our clothes and I dress in the laundry room. Ray and I bump into each other as I enter the main room

"Well, you smell nice and not like... poop and stuff" Ray smiles sniffing me

I laugh smelling him back causing Ray and I to burst into a fit of laughter, then the door opens without warning but we don't notice because of our laughing.

"These are the new children of Terminus" Gareth says

Ray and I stop laughing and look over at the many people at the door

"Oh how adorable! It'll be nice to have some more laughter around here" An old lady smiles

"Look how beautiful she is! She'll be our little doll" Another says

"A nice young man to play cards with!" Old and young men smile

The people continue to talk at least before I speak up

"Hi" I say

"What are your names?" A man asks

"That's Jasmine, and I'm Ray" Ray says introducing us

And that's when we were swarmed with question upon question. But what someone said caught my attention

"Gareth is her new father"
