Our Generation

The breeding center

Here we are, me and Lucius stood at the entrance of the very place that disgusted me the most, the breeding center. I took a deep breath, Lucius looked over at me and squeezed my hand. I tried to give him a reassuring smile, but I know he saw through it.

As we entered the breeding center, it sounded like going into the heart of a giant robot. So many machines, the beeping, groaning, and buzzing of the things that take away what a woman wants the most, her own biological children. (At least that's what I want the most, when I'm older of course). A putrid smell was poking at my nose it smelled like, blood,and sweat.

"Hello" came a rich voice of a young woman that was gazing at Lucius.

"Another patient Lucius" she said as she finally glanced my way with pure disgust written all over her face.

"She's my fiancé" He replied through gritted teeth while pulling me closer to his body.

"Oh my goodness" she gasped, scrambling to stand, but while attempting to, all her papers fell to the floor. Her glasses fell sideways as she bent down to pick up the papers.

I glanced over at Lucius and he he looked totally and completely smug. He can be such a jerk at times! I knelt down to pick up her papers. And the top paper caught my attention. Written in bold letters it said,

AHNA LEIGHTON

I stood up and turned away trying to read it.

"Ahna what are you doing?" He grabbed my arm but I shook him off.

It said.......

Date to be admitted to breeding center

November 31,2025,

But the date today was December 2? I read on.......

Person admitting Miss Ahna to breeding center, ..... Jesse Grace.......

Reason - after curfew, defiance to rulers.

....................................

What Jesse was playing me the whole time. Lucius took me to a quiet room and explained EVERYTHING!!

Like Rylins my mother?? And Jesse's actually my fake parents son?

And my dad is the ruler of this whole thing? I can't believe this!! My life's a mess. It feels like a dark cloud has been chasing me ever since I got here.

And on happy days its like a found a good spot to hide but when I cry it sees where I am so fast and I'm in the middle of storm again.

Jesse knew all of this and that's why he 'loved' me he knew that marrying me would ensure that he was the ruler. Because I'm the real true leader of this hell.

But he decided I was taking things to slow so why not force the marriage and take my children and raise them himself?

Lucius told me that the reason why I wasn't admitted was because the day I was supposed to be brought in was the day he began to rule and he immediately stopped what was going to happen. And Rylin had no idea.

I was sobbing and Lucius pulled me into his arms

"I'm never going to let that happen to you" he stroked my hair.

"Whenever your ready to move forward is fine with me" I looked into his eyes and saw the worry in them.

But to tell the truth I don't know if I can move forward or how I'm going to deal with this stuff. Everyone's been dishonest, and what's right and wrong used to be so clear like a giant line built into my brain. But everything's blurry and merged now.

I just need some comfort or a familiar face. Those people back at home may not be my real blood family but there always my family in my heart. And I'm hoping Lucius will let me visit them.

"Lucius please do me a favor" I said while sniffling.

"Anything love" he whispered

"I want to see my family" I saw the surprised look on his face. "You can come and I won't throw a fit about coming back pleeese" I begged

He looked torn. "Please I really need this" I said.

He gave a loud sigh "fine but I am coming with you" he said firmly.
