Day ???
Trigger warning as always
T̶i̶n̶a̶
Ivy
"Happy birthday, Ivy." Peony says. It took her a while to trust me fully, but here we are.
Since Alexis, The Gardener has been sure to punish those who use their real names. So Tina is like a distant memory.
It's been a little over a year since...I got taken. I turn seventeen today. And The Gardener has me service him that morning, telling me to go into the room beside mine.
My room. It's become a lot more personal over time, but it's still far from comfortable to me.
After spending time with Peony, I enter the room as I'm told, seeing a naked girl on a bed.
A new girl. Oh lord.
Beside the bed is The Gardener. "Ivy. Come. I want you to...welcome this one to our home. She'll be more comfortable if she sees you instead of me."
I nod. "Yes Sir."
He exits, leaving me with the sleeping girl. I notice her delicate sleeping face. She seems to be in her teens at least.
It takes quite a while for her to awaken but when she does, she squeaks, probably trying to scream.
"Hey there. Try to just...breathe. I'll explain everything to you soon. I promise." I tell the girl.
She gazes up at me, her eyes widening. "T-Tina?"
I gasp. "Wh-What?"
"Tina...Tina Belcher." She says.
"You...you can't say that here. How do you know my name?" I ask.
"Gene...he's in my classes. He tells me all about you. And...your posters are still up." She explains.
My posters. So my family is looking for me after all. I think deep down that I knew, but I just didn't want to think so. Because it hurts to think of those I'll never see again.
"You'll be given a new name here. I'm Ivy. If you use my real name, you and I could both end up dead. Understand?" I reply sternly.
She nods, tears in her eyes. "What happened?"
"You...you're in a place called the garden. Run by this man we call The Gardener. He...has his way with us. Whenever he wants. And we obey him. I'm so sorry." I explain.
"N-No! I need my mom! My dad! My brother! G-Gene too! He's my friend!" She cries.
Gene. The sound of his name makes me both warm and sick at the same time. I miss him so much.
"How old are you?" I ask, trying to calm her down by playing with her sandy blonde hair.
"Fifteen. The same as Gene." She replies.
Gene is fifteen now. Christ. That's old. Louise would be thirteen then. God, they grew.
"My name is-" She starts to say.
