Last night it was confirmed that patrolled had increased due to the fact I looked outside and saw more men than usual walking with guns. Some of the guards were walking in their werewolf forms. They patrol to make sure people in our unit obey the curfew at 9pm. We cannot leave our house for any reason at all unless there is an emergency. My dad also mention last night that a friend from work said that some people in the unit on the other side of town have been taken in the night. He believes they are being taken to Force Labor Facilities to become auctioned and branded as slaves, which is still not fully legal yet. It seems like the world is slowly changing for the worst.
As of this moment my mom and I were cleaning the house because we got nothing else better to do with our time with the lack of TV or cellphones. I have not touched a cell phone since mines died when my family and I tried to escape. My thoughts were interrupted by sobs. I turn to see my mom sitting on the couch holding a family picture that sat on the table in the living room. I walked over to my mom and sat beside her as I gave her a hug. The picture was us going to New York for the first time; we were standing in time square. I knew my mom was specifically looking at my sister, Rebecca. It is heart breaking not knowing were your sister is alive or dead or possibly worst. My dad tried to talk to officials down in City Hall on where Rebecca could be due to the fact that they have files on all humans. But, they refused to help us saying she is in great care of her mate. I doubt that is the case.
"Mom it's okay. I'm sure Rebecca is fine we will find her and I know she will try to find us." I said trying to reinsure my mom.
"I know that she might be okay. I just wish I could speak to her and confirm her safety."
"Yeah, I just hope we find her before we decide to leave for the search of the underground human camp." I said, but had no clue where to start searching for her. The lycan that took her appeared to be a solider instead of a commander. They tend to move a lot sometimes; she could be anywhere in the country by now.
KNOCK! KNOCK!
There was a loud knock at the doo immediately my mom and I tensed up. I got up to go answer the door not before shouting, "Who is it?"
"It's me Gina."
I sighed in relief that it was not a solider knocking at the door. I open the door to see Gina standing there with a smile on her face. She was old torn jeans and a dirty t-shirt just like most people wore around here.
I open the door wider and invited her in and gave her a hug. Gina and I became close friends since my brother and she started dating.
"Hi, Mrs. Wilson." Gina said with a bright smile on her face, as always.
My mom gave a weak smile and said, "Hello Gina. Well if you two excuse me I'm going to step outside for a minute to get some fresh air." After she said that she walked pass us and head out the door.
Me and Gina walked over to the couch and had a seat.
"So I see your mom still upset over your sister." Gina said looking at the hands in her lap.
"Yeah, every time she sees a picture of her or hears her name she breaks down." I said shaking my head.
"I'm sure your sister is okay. If she has a lycan mate he will not harm her." Gina said always trying to look at the bright side of things.
"The reason I came over here was to tell what I saw last night."
I turned to look at curiously to see what she was talking about. "What do you mean?"
Gina met my gaze with a serious look on her face.
"Well last night I had a hard time going to sleep so I stayed up. Well, you have you heard the rumor of humans slavery." I nodded my head yes. "Well, I saw a man and a women being chased after by a werewolf, but the woman got away with my help. It was too late for the man."
"But, what about the woman that came with the man?"
"She is at my house hiding."
"Gina you could get in trouble for harboring someone wanted by one of them."
"I know but I could not just let her get taken by them."
I sighed shaking my head. "Was the lycan her mate?"
Gina shook her head no. "She told me that the lycan said that they were on the list."
"What list-"
I was interrupted when my parents and brother walked in. Gina got up with a hug smile on her face and went over to kiss my brother. After hellos where exchanged and a few conversations held Gina got up to leave because she stayed for so long and had to get ready for tonight's meeting.
After my brother walked her to the door; I caught her by the arm before she went outside.
"What about the list you were talking about."
"I will mention it in tonight's meeting. Sorry, I just got distracted and I need to get home before it gets too dark." I nodded my head and closed the door behind her.
******************
"You guys ready?" My dad asked and turned to us. We all nodded our heads in response. I was wearing my brother's clothes hopefully to help mask my scent.
We all quickly made our way down the street toward the house that was holding the meeting, but was almost spotted by a drone. Thankfully, we were able to find a place to hide. Eventually we made to the house. My dad knocked on the door. The door was answered by a middle age man. He had a bald head and full bread. A smile spread across his face once he saw my dad.
The man lets us in after an exchange of hellos. The man introduced himself as Arthur and he was a friend of my dad from work. I looked around his house to see a few people in his living room staring at us. Some I recognize a few people. Then I saw Gina sitting beside a girl I didn't recognize. I assume she is the girl Gina help escape. She looked to be around sixteen.
The meeting soon stated with talk of the possibility of an underground human hid out. I really was hoping there was one so we could have a better life. Maybe there would be people there to help my sister.
Some people in group had doubts that it was even out there, especially this Robert guy. "I think we need to forget this whole idea so we would not get in trouble. You know what would happen if we tried to escape from here."
"But, still I heard rumor one man actually got away and made it to the place." Arthur said arguing back.
"Okay then if it was real how you do suppose we find it?" Robert.
"Well I was told it was around the mountains possibly in the Washington state." Everyone turned to the girl sitting beside Gina.
"And who are you?" Robert asked.
The girl looked a little nervous by being put on the spot. "I'm Megan and my dad was a military solider before the new world. When the new world started he took people to the base as safe haven. I believe it is around there."
"That's why she was on the list. For helping people escape." Gina spoke up.
"What list?" Arthur asked.
"A list that will send you into slavery." Megan stated.
"Then we need to make plans quickly about escape." One woman said. Then a few more people shouted their opinion.
"Jeremiah, I will not leave without Rebecca." My mom said to my father.
"You might hav-"
"Everyone, quiet!" Arthur shouted. Everyone got quiet.
"Someone turn the lights off. I think someone is outside."
