New World Order

Chapter 6 - New World Order

5 years later...

Ever since that night our lives had been miserable. All the humans including my family were arrested and taken to some kind of facility where we were lined up. When I made it in front of the desk they asked for my name then they wrote down my height of 5'3, wieght, race, and other things. Then for some reason they wanted a pint of my blood. I put a fight against them but it was useless they strapped me to a chair and took my blood.

After the humans DNA and other information was taken, for some mysterious reason, we were forced into 'Containment Unit Neighborhoods'. It was the only place where humans can 'legally' live. Our 'home' had a small bedroom size living room, one bedroom, and a kitchen. The place looked so old and run down. Thankfully, the placed already had furniture, but it was crappy. When we first moved in we wondered how we where going to make, but somehow we did.

Right now I am standing in the kitchen with my mom making watery soup with a few vegetables and some meat. We had the same thing for nearly a month now. We can't get anymore food until the end of the month which is in three days. Then I heard the front door open to see my dad and brother walk in looking as tired as ever. They worked on a farm from five in the morning until five in the evening. It was a tiring job they only had two thirty minute breaks in the whole day. The payment was low along with a few cans of food and bread at the end of the month. I told them I will get a job to help, but my parents quickly shot that idea down. They did not want me to go through such hard labor and the fact that I might end up some lycan's mate. Which has happened to a few girls in our area. By now we have kind of figured that's what happened to my sister.

"How was your day?" My mom asked my dad as he came over to her and kissed her lips.

"Good. They gave us an hour break due to boss came to inspect the field." My dad said while taking a seat at the table followed by everyone else as my mom sat bowls on the table. We said grace and asked for my sister to be watched over. I looked up to see my mom on the verge of tears.

"Its okay, Ruth. Rebecca is alright." My dad said while squeezing my mom's hand.

Then we started eating again and held a few conversations in between silence.

"So, dad I'm going to go to City Hall in a few days and ask for marriage to Gina." Jacob said. Gina was Jacob's girlfriend. They met a month after we moved to this place. Her and her family is from Argentina. They were only in America on vacation and to visit family, but now they are stuck here due to the invasion.

We all gave him the knowing look that it will be difficult to get married. You see these days if a guy wanted to marry a girl you had to get permission from your district and Alpha Supreme of your area. Along with signed documentations of approval you must carry around when you are with your spouse. But, it so happens that if the girl's mate came along he had every right to take her away from her husband, but he must go council. The council takes a vote on whether the girl allow both the mate and husband live with her in the werewolf's home, or the husband leaves the girl. It always is the lateral option. I heard that it was voted the other way around once and the werewolf became so jealous that he killed the husband.

"Are you sure you want to do this, son, you heard the stories." My dad said with a worried look.

Jacob sighed. "I know, dad, but I am 25 year old man that have to ask for permission to be with someone I love. I know the risk, but Gina is worth it. Nothing you can say will change my mind." My dad nodded his head and continued eating. "I was hoping you can go with me and Gina for support." Jacob said.

"You know I can't do that son. I used up my day off times. Sorry, you will just have to go alo-"

"I will go with him." I said. Everyone turned to look at me.

"No." My parents said at the same time. My parents will not let me out the house. I'm lucky enough when they let me out in the front yard. They are just protecting me from being mated. I heard that a mated can be extremely possessive and protective to the point that they will lock you in a room for a long while. Also some will go to the extreme of putting a tracking device on you.

"Please I really want to sup-"

"Katherine your father said no end of discussion." My mom said while getting up to put away dishes in the sink. I got up and put my dish in the sink determined gain my freedom out of this house.

"Mom. Dad. I know you are trying to protect me, but I have never left this since they dumped us here five years ago. On top of that I am 23 years old. I'm not a child anymore. I need to see the world meet people. I am willing to take the risk. Plus I doubt I will get a mate for the short time we will be in City Hall." I gave my parents a pleading look. They looked at each other than at me.

"We will think about it." Mom said with a tired and worried look on her face.

"Thank you that are all I ask of you."

"Anyway, don't forget that the 'meeting' is tomorrow at midnight." My dad reminded us. You see a while back there was a rumor going around out among our unit that there is an underground human rebel camp. Since then some people in our unit including us have been setting up meetings trying to find out if it really does exist. Some people have doubts that it is even real and it is just a symbol of hope.

"We have to be sneaky since it appears they have increased patrols." Jacob said before sticking some bread in my mouth.

"Look Katherine when we go you stick close to me and where me and your brother's clothes." My dad said and I nodded my head in agreement as we continued to eat. Finally, I can have some sense of freedom.
