Zero

Chapter 1

Everyone is born with numbers on their wrist, telling them how long they have until they meet their true love. Some are born with the numbers 01:01:01:00 and so on. However the rarest of people are born with 00:00:00:00. About three percent of our communities population is born with the numbers zero, and we aren't exactly welcome either. The number system was established to help with population issues of the old world. Our founders put a syirum into a willing female and male that made the numbers possible. The male and female later on that day had numbers..those numbers were zero. The male and female were forced to fuck and they had two children the number 1. It continued on like that with brother and sister forced to fuck one another until the population had different numbers. In case you're wondering yes my mother and father are brother and sister. I was told that I had a brother somewhere out there. My brother apparently left when I was born, he didn't want to know what numbers I was born with. I looked in the mirror with my fare pale skin and my black hair. I looked pretty for going out on the town. Now that I'm 18 my parents are letting me go find someone with the same numbers as I. I sighed and headed down the stairs looking at my outfit one last time. A band t shirt, skinny jeans and converse. Yea this is sooo going to impress people. I headed out the door with a quick goodbye to my parents and started walking to the park. I was looking at the trees and the beautiful white roses when I bumped into someone. I looked to see who I bumped into and I noticed a 6'4 male with short black hair, hazel eyes, tanned skin, and he was wearing a band t shirt, ripped skinny jeans, and boots. "I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention" I said trying to hide my blush" The male laughed. "Don't worry it's fine. My name is Alex. What's yours?" Alex asked handing me a black rose. "Zero. My name is Zero" I said taking the rose with a smile. "Well what a name" Alex said with a chuckle. "My parents idea. Since my numbers were zero the day I was born they decided to name me Zero. Zero Delphine Smith" I said rolling my eyes. Alex grew pale and looked at my left wrist. I looked at him questionably. "It can't be" Alex said. "What?" I asked growing anxious. Alex showed me his right wrist with the same numbers. 00:00:00:00. "So I'm not the only one with those numbers" I said shakily. Alex gave me a slight smile. "After all these years of looking for you, I had finally found you" Alex said. I was confused. Was he looking for me? Or for someone with matching numbers? Alex brushed my hair out of my face and gave me a quick peck on my lips. I was both confused and pissed off. "What the hell?" I asked not exactly to Alex but to myself. "Zero I have been looking for you for years. Ever since I left the hospital room on the night you were born I felt so guilty I tried to find you and now I have and....you look amazing" Alex said holding me tightly. "I don't understand what are you talking about?" I asked. Alex looked at me straight in the eyes and said

"I'm your brother"
