Bethany lays on Grayson's chest in his arms as he rests his eyes, her doing the same in his shared apartment where Ester, Mikey and Solayo reside. Sitting not far from Bethany and Grayson is an empty cheese, chocolate and fruit platter and an elequoant empty bottle, two glasses.207Please respect copyright.PENANAweAr5VHsEX
207Please respect copyright.PENANAbJJgeZcZJp
The sun is setting for the day, his friends are returning for the day. "So... how'd it go... with..." Mikey keeps stuttering.207Please respect copyright.PENANA3UecIA8aNy
207Please respect copyright.PENANAVJpMLBwkCd
"It went fine with Cloud. He helped me out."207Please respect copyright.PENANAuRbAOVlvTL
207Please respect copyright.PENANAOw5yw2UHi4
"I'm suprised his..."207Please respect copyright.PENANAF9bIQZL3DW
207Please respect copyright.PENANAsSHyLJ0gzC
"He just doesn't wanna stay down there miserable that bastard. His doing this for himself rather than for the benfit of everyone in this community, to get time outside."207Please respect copyright.PENANAKJ1QUWpWvd
207Please respect copyright.PENANA9wouFW57YY
"Well, it's not really time outside. He doesn't get to go out onto the farm or anything. It's still the lower floors in the minus." Estes speaks up.207Please respect copyright.PENANAcUab1vkG5B
207Please respect copyright.PENANAZaHFKc9rMz
"Yeah, his not getting a chance of sunlight till I'm confident his fully moldable." Solayo responds. 207Please respect copyright.PENANAivDn10lfwW
207Please respect copyright.PENANAJTAJAqRMak
"And... how long are we going to keep the rest down there?" Mikey whispers.207Please respect copyright.PENANA0TDrYfcflf
207Please respect copyright.PENANAMx7PzUlI8S
"As long as it takes all of them. One doesn't get to leave, they all have to be ready. The chaos that would ensue if each one isn't ready and able to cope- What are you doing, Grayson?" Solayo speaks up, eyes annoyed when he sees Beth, the food and the booze.207Please respect copyright.PENANAD3Vc6qXldv
207Please respect copyright.PENANAOHd9cOisF2
He opens his eyes, realizing his food is back. Mikey eyes Grayson boxers on the floor. "Uh, his fooling around-"207Please respect copyright.PENANAOfCLOrC13m
207Please respect copyright.PENANAlGXh27s6Zt
"I don't advise you-" Ester adds on, cutting Mikey off, but Solayo cuts her off.207Please respect copyright.PENANAsInrL7DxAN
207Please respect copyright.PENANAoeEptPWWAN
"Shut up both of you. Grayson, please get your boxers on and yes or no, answer me honestly. Are you fooling around or do you like her? Because we have spent the last two months getting the ones who came back on meds as well, and this could disrupt her regime.207Please respect copyright.PENANAnQ8cxpmyJJ
207Please respect copyright.PENANACIv2YZufua
What if she freaks out on you and realizes what she's doing?"207Please respect copyright.PENANAWJ6MtKwEdK
207Please respect copyright.PENANA3pbX7PpqqN
"She won't freak out. Merge erases their backstory, but not your consciousness. She wanted to- what her and me did, we both wanted this.207Please respect copyright.PENANA0m6RdHP69B
207Please respect copyright.PENANAkp3meOVm2V
And I like her, she's really pretty and I'm better for her anyway."207Please respect copyright.PENANAWFwGipG4s3
207Please respect copyright.PENANAychsJiJX1R
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure if Slate knew, he'd have something to say about that-" But Mikey doesn't get to finish, Solayo backhanding him behind the ear. "I'm sorry, Solayo." 207Please respect copyright.PENANArNWfePi2HX
207Please respect copyright.PENANAc050nNukqz
"He wouldn't, neither him or her barely remember eachother. She forgot how she came here, and now she forgot being here and escaping and it's the same for him." Solayo hisses. "As far as those two are concerned, the other is just a stranger who resides on the same floor as and they don't know how they got here except the false story I told them, they came at diffrent times.207Please respect copyright.PENANAIOhKhy4lth
207Please respect copyright.PENANAH55hgDarG5
They barely interact socially."207Please respect copyright.PENANA10HFt9N84H
207Please respect copyright.PENANAkRlWwnJbVX
"Gray, for fuck sake. Just pick up your pants." Ester says annoyed. "Hey, baby. I'm sorry, I'm just goanna move for a second." Grayson tells Beth gently, moving her head off his lap, pulling the bed sheet around him while he grabs his pants.207Please respect copyright.PENANA8GRunVSuGa
207Please respect copyright.PENANA5Oh3MVjudI
Unlike him, she is clothed kind of. Nothing is showing, but it's just undergarments on. She sits up, tired and confused.207Please respect copyright.PENANAsIzGSLosPo
207Please respect copyright.PENANAwmsM3ohfne
"And while we're on the topic of sex, tell me you use a goddamn condomn." Ester adds on.207Please respect copyright.PENANAWffOKAkrfQ
207Please respect copyright.PENANA5rQv71ufDx
"Uh..."207Please respect copyright.PENANALTDViCARlH
207Please respect copyright.PENANAcR0AXfOwS8

207Please respect copyright.PENANAssUNmTVMKp

207Please respect copyright.PENANAf08rb12MRL
"Don't you Ester me!"207Please respect copyright.PENANADQYkAaK3xB
207Please respect copyright.PENANAQV1Kw3KAoP
"Listen to her." Solayo snarls. "Now, I'm going to go set the table now for dinner. Get Beth dressed again and take her backdownstairs-" 207Please respect copyright.PENANA4XndLNCnTb
207Please respect copyright.PENANAT0qgufnPze
When there is a squeal, Beth diving for the small cheese knife. It's on the blunt side, but it's the only weapon in sight.207Please respect copyright.PENANA5N8bGBu0q1
207Please respect copyright.PENANAOwL3611Q6r
"Beth-" Gray begins, his pants now on and he drops the bed sheet.207Please respect copyright.PENANAJg2XAIRYuH
207Please respect copyright.PENANAuIVDjYm4cc
"You sick fuck! What did you do?! How did I get here!" She screams, focusing on Grayson not noticing Solayo prepping a needle.207Please respect copyright.PENANAIFfimtQsrp
207Please respect copyright.PENANArvT5fdjgwQ
"And that's what we we're worried about, ya pervert." Mikey chastisies him.207Please respect copyright.PENANA4SHj8lDCNL
207Please respect copyright.PENANAhzbtIlZWTD
"She's 19!" Grayson shouts back.207Please respect copyright.PENANAFhWFQhDafS
"We don't care, her meds are the problem! The open alochol there, the endorphines from- I'm not going to finish that last part!" Ester yells back.207Please respect copyright.PENANArsMNjxhLEf
207Please respect copyright.PENANA3b6Kgp5gVQ
"What did you do! What did we do!" Beth yells again at Grayson threatening him with the knife.207Please respect copyright.PENANAOlKlgLU1VD
207Please respect copyright.PENANAQWM6jrapPG
"You don't remember us talking and-" 207Please respect copyright.PENANAT2wuVXatjA
207Please respect copyright.PENANAC5p7VBrqRK
But she doesn't let him finish. "Shut up! I don't wanna hear it! You're sick. You fucking sicko!"207Please respect copyright.PENANAtljBEp58l5
207Please respect copyright.PENANAuX5rhTsvLV
"Beth, I know you're scared. But I need you to hand over the knife. Can you do that? Hand it to me?" Mikey coaxes, gently sliding towards Bethany, gesturing with his hand when she aims it at him, threatening him too.207Please respect copyright.PENANAClGjLforHr
207Please respect copyright.PENANAKyUCj1Zf0E
"Woah!"207Please respect copyright.PENANAdAJ44sDcJx
207Please respect copyright.PENANA1my674akOe
"Solayo!" Ester calls out. 207Please respect copyright.PENANAefEzjWrh3n
207Please respect copyright.PENANAI1mq9t6O1G
"Handle it!" He calls back. It takes a bit, but Mikey manages to calm her down enough that she hands over the knife.207Please respect copyright.PENANArfm6zpAdlv
"There we go. Beth, can you let Ester here help you dress?"207Please respect copyright.PENANA69VF5c0bYx
207Please respect copyright.PENANATYckDZMdl2
She nods softly and Ester helps her, Mikey putting the knife away and forcing Grayson to walk and talk with him.207Please respect copyright.PENANAEmXPPAkIsZ
207Please respect copyright.PENANAVmJia3q7L5
When Beth's dressed, Ester has her sit and Mikey comes back over to them while Grayson hangs back a short distance. Solayo comes back over.207Please respect copyright.PENANAfU6EItcfwh
207Please respect copyright.PENANAAQ8sRB0MYX
"Now, Beth. This won't hurt much, just a small prick-" But she dives away, Mikey grabbing her by the foot and pulling her back. "No, you don't!" He yells. 207Please respect copyright.PENANAVEiMDGx26I
207Please respect copyright.PENANAdf5aQqKf60
"Let go of me!" Beth yells at him, Ester stepping away as Solayo takes her other arm, assisting and presses down with the needle. "No, no! Ah-" She cries, starting to cry. 207Please respect copyright.PENANAZYsDkf0tu9
207Please respect copyright.PENANAmatcyOQbUu
He and Mikey roughly pick her up and move her from Grayson's bed to Ester, on account hers as restraints attached already... they secure them.207Please respect copyright.PENANAb4yWo6uJ3n
207Please respect copyright.PENANAX1O3VhFybT
Ester sitting beside Mikey on his bed as they have dinner, Grayson on his own and Solayo on his own. They're almost finished when Beth wakes up a bit. Solayo quickly places his plate aside, hops down to Beth's level gently brushing her hair aside and keeps brushing her forehead.207Please respect copyright.PENANAvMbuweFqbd
207Please respect copyright.PENANAtvdXRTws0I
"How we feeling, darling?"
"T-tired."207Please respect copyright.PENANAFGZSqnsDTK
207Please respect copyright.PENANA09NJJzYDvb
"Yeah. Can we take you back to your room now? Are you calm enough?"207Please respect copyright.PENANA9kEFuY0Rqq
207Please respect copyright.PENANATMfmHAcaKA
She nods weakly, struggling to keep her eyes open. "Okay, let's go there then." and he undoes the straps, lifting her up in his arms. "Mikey, with me. You both, stay here." He says annoyed as he leaves their apartment with Beth, Mikey following.207Please respect copyright.PENANATf4XoXRuVr
207Please respect copyright.PENANAAIYJb8UaId
Outside, he gives Mikey his pass and have him swipe the door rendering Ester and Grayson's pass useless, then gives it back to Solayo who snatches it and continues off towards the elevator. 207Please respect copyright.PENANA9VnDFkYRUT
207Please respect copyright.PENANAN88lKRv6WM
When they head to floor 13, the rest of our group is dressed and ready for bed having had dinner when they see Solayo and Mikey with bed.207Please respect copyright.PENANAzedPo6CnTw
207Please respect copyright.PENANAcffwj9h5Ma
"Evening, Solayo." Slate whispers softly looking tired and drugged out. 207Please respect copyright.PENANA6eF02ZTCYI
207Please respect copyright.PENANAWJUdApDZIr
"Evening, Slate. You ready for bed? How was dinner?"207Please respect copyright.PENANAnj4IgrB3Ij
207Please respect copyright.PENANAMGgwJEw8V2
"Good."207Please respect copyright.PENANAxKXzMkPadQ
207Please respect copyright.PENANAMQnAAoA7dL
"Good. You know the drill, boy." 207Please respect copyright.PENANA6XiZBC0uMe
207Please respect copyright.PENANARcl8X5RUu0
And Slate heads into his room, Mikey locking it behind him. He then ushers Cloud, Lyla and Gideo into their respective rooms. Paisley is already in bed, hardly leaves hers. "Night, Paisley. Sweet dreams..." Mikey trails off awkwardly, locking it.207Please respect copyright.PENANAMQY87KMAWa
207Please respect copyright.PENANAhjMrZzX4E8
He then heads to Beth's, Beth already in bed and tucked in by Solayo. "Restraints?" He asks. 207Please respect copyright.PENANA11quuoWw2H
207Please respect copyright.PENANAvmtfXmGZ6o
"Nah, we don't need em. She's calmer and we'll just sleep this off. Plus she ate anyway even if it wasn't dinner..."207Please respect copyright.PENANAWTYLdNb4fs
207Please respect copyright.PENANAsltkaItcYc
"She'll have a mild hangover tomorrow..."207Please respect copyright.PENANAynqpsUBzOa
207Please respect copyright.PENANAWNfGl1bDjs
"Yeah, that's goanna be hell for her. Bring her to me later, I'll give her an IV and the morning after."207Please respect copyright.PENANA2frgU95DG1
207Please respect copyright.PENANA1cBrrStdbW
"Okay. Y-yeah..."207Please respect copyright.PENANA83XQb1cu6x

"Let's go back upstairs now, finish our dinner." 207Please respect copyright.PENANAOmMWF8x7UN

(Three and half years later)207Please respect copyright.PENANAxB6bRB8qpl
207Please respect copyright.PENANANnvzmTMUdq
Our group now around 24-25 not that they know it are all getting out today, three years and a half is a long time, but they hardly recall over half their time. Working towards this part of their rehabilation was difficult when the real truth is it was never about redemption, it was just cruel punishment before it even began and after constant drugging, it's a concept they can't comprehend.207Please respect copyright.PENANAU8dkJXh2eC
207Please respect copyright.PENANATf4kM31jVL
Bethany's lying beside Gideon, head resting on shoulder as he sits on the floor, bouncing a plastic handball against the wall, coming right back to him.207Please respect copyright.PENANA0HQZbJU3iy
207Please respect copyright.PENANA9XIpc56laW
Slate sits beside them both numbly looking at his lap, occasionally giving the spin of a yoyo that is in his hand.207Please respect copyright.PENANA7ezXhZNxq7
207Please respect copyright.PENANACbisJnDmnv
"Morning all." Cloud speaks up, coming out of his room. He recieves a few half hearted replies. With the group fairly unresponsive, he checks in on Lyla and Paisley, waking both girls. They each come out of their room.207Please respect copyright.PENANARgm4TALoxg
207Please respect copyright.PENANArBcJXkfFOI
"So, uh, group. Ester, uh, asked me to debrief you today. The uh, leaders only just informed yesterday of the news.207Please respect copyright.PENANA3pg4Kk1nAC
207Please respect copyright.PENANA3Rr2BJD44Y
It seems we are actually getting out today so if you all could collect up what you have here that would be great, and it's also my understanding when we process out, there is some additional stuff we're to collect that we couldn't have due to safety."207Please respect copyright.PENANAWmO0Y9nvby
207Please respect copyright.PENANAlRvJArUgBV
"Safety?" Slate whispers. "Uh, I think you drew occasionally? I'm not sure, but I guess they didn't want you stabbing yourself, them or us with them.
Like the tip." Cloud answers awkwardly.207Please respect copyright.PENANAhEaxHJpMij
207Please respect copyright.PENANAA7QLf8KLQZ
Unlike the others, he knows the Tomorrow Party and is good at faking it for the long haul. The amount of time he cheeked the unesscary drugs, disposed of them and never got caught. Three years though down here was a long time when you are aware and awake for it all.207Please respect copyright.PENANAKyHE4RJBqG
207Please respect copyright.PENANARYEtNBNhop
"So, that's it for the morning announcements. Breakfast is coming I believe and medication." He finishes, the door at the end of the corridor opening right on time. 207Please respect copyright.PENANAqXzfpq7gq6
207Please respect copyright.PENANADODY5jK76T
"Cloud." Says Solayo, followed by the others. "Morning, Solayo. I debriefed everyone like you asked." Cloud tells him.207Please respect copyright.PENANAf5KwNuEhZy
207Please respect copyright.PENANApnUpaecMgX
"Good, good. So eveyone, breakfast, then meds and grab your stuff please and then we are going to process you out into the population. You have stuff to collect you couldn't have down here, we trust you to hold them and behave appopritely."207Please respect copyright.PENANAY3GTix7yHy
207Please respect copyright.PENANAfq3DkdM2Th
"Yes, Sir." Everyone responds. "Good, good." He adds on, handing out breakfast to everyone, making them stand in a line.207Please respect copyright.PENANA7CIP3HQXu9
207Please respect copyright.PENANAs95CR9hrfZ
While they all eat, the leaders prepare their meds. "How you doing?" Solayo smiles, bending down to Paisley even though it's no longer Paisley, a topic that has not been discussed. The girl she is now knows, but rarely talks because what is she meant to say? Lyla and her know they are twins as they look the same, but each feel nothing emotionally.207Please respect copyright.PENANA6kbRD423Ik
207Please respect copyright.PENANAuK0yQOPmG3
He holds out her med cup for her to take which contains the least amount of medication than everybody else. Inside is just one single tablet. She gulps it down, followed by a cup of water.207Please respect copyright.PENANABHZGsCFpGH
207Please respect copyright.PENANAjnBQe51TiY
She opens her mouth afterwards showing him it's clear. "Good girl." He smiles, tapping her knee and stands.207Please respect copyright.PENANAWiR9pjZzzd
207Please respect copyright.PENANAaJjybiiDLh
Solayo procees to Gideon next. "How we feeling this morning, Gid?" 207Please respect copyright.PENANAd6QHvChc1h
207Please respect copyright.PENANAcpjkC0WNc9
"Uh, fine I guess."207Please respect copyright.PENANAmNlzKi0U53

"Yeah? So, what we goanna do when we get to leave?"207Please respect copyright.PENANAdyjllNemAI
207Please respect copyright.PENANAKrRQu72ber
"I don't know. Mikey said there would be a job?"207Please respect copyright.PENANAWtGWhCg7D3
207Please respect copyright.PENANAuEGXXcckab
"There will be, I don't want you and others to be bored and sitting down here really doesn't feel all that productive, yeah?"207Please respect copyright.PENANAPX11PcI0MS
207Please respect copyright.PENANArL0pD5Gx6D
"Yes, Sir."207Please respect copyright.PENANAIfBXZ4XPvB
207Please respect copyright.PENANA5DMtyN4Edd
"Your meds." 207Please respect copyright.PENANAHcMFITKeRk
207Please respect copyright.PENANAALUtkYIUKf
And Gideon swallows them down. "Thank you." Solayo says, moving on. Lyla, Slate followed by Cloud and then Beth.207Please respect copyright.PENANAlaNI80FeV8
207Please respect copyright.PENANA3pE69sZ1Fs
She perks up a little when she sees Grayson. "Morning, Grayson."207Please respect copyright.PENANAVefv04FBrP
207Please respect copyright.PENANAEyX5RAlLHn
"Morning, Beth." Grayson responds. "So, Bethany. Hi, how are we feeling?" Solayo questions.207Please respect copyright.PENANAtQlpuFjJbI
207Please respect copyright.PENANAx3KnHlCAcf
"Better now that you all are here."207Please respect copyright.PENANA4Fy8DBNEFd
207Please respect copyright.PENANAPFFdx5J1YF
"You like our visits, good, good." Is Solayo's response. Despite the drugs, Beth's mood and fractured time eventally settled a bit for her to be able to go out with Grayson a bit. There was times they all got to leave for medical appointments and stuff, but she got to leave for other things sometime.207Please respect copyright.PENANAxRH7vM3Y8S
207Please respect copyright.PENANAB25C7lKGCR
Only small though, sitting with Grayson on his lunchbreak even if it was only in the leaders apartment. No matter what it was, she looked forward to those far and few between events.207Please respect copyright.PENANAc9LnAHQVg0
207Please respect copyright.PENANAtQGQtYBR71
"Your meds." Solayo smiles holding her cup out to her which contains the most out of everybody else.207Please respect copyright.PENANA13ScWz12Bl
207Please respect copyright.PENANAqlBSMV7DdW
"Do I have to take them?"207Please respect copyright.PENANA2a2ApzhH4L
207Please respect copyright.PENANA7E755rccQl
"You do, we've been over this. You know how we explained to you before that your mood was quite, well, it changed rapidly through out the day?"207Please respect copyright.PENANAqb3WDZAE5J
207Please respect copyright.PENANAED7gwP6ney
"Yeah."207Please respect copyright.PENANANI4iCUUlLs
207Please respect copyright.PENANAhbcauazCz5
"That's why, and sometimes you posed a threat to yourself, saw things and had seizures. We didn't want you to get hurt so that is why you take these meds so that doesn't happen again ever."207Please respect copyright.PENANA4wNhsZ37Yg
207Please respect copyright.PENANAmJu7FyFLBX
"I don't remember what you speak of feels like though, it's-"207Please respect copyright.PENANAwAJvZQQeDc
207Please respect copyright.PENANA4vd9Qo4XX7
"If you're not ready to leave and your companions can't leave either-" He begins. "No, no. I'll take them. I'm sorry, Sir." She panics, downing them.207Please respect copyright.PENANAtMs1UC9AMp
207Please respect copyright.PENANAcmCYOeLCKP
He checks her mouth seeing it's clear. "There we go, wasn't so hard." And stands. Once this is all over with, everyone collects the few clothes and items they have down here, the leaders leading them all to the elevator.207Please respect copyright.PENANA5iNFYDPhvn
207Please respect copyright.PENANABYBW7CwqBU
They enter, no one handcuffed as opposed to when they first came down here. "So, as we have discussed before, it's all going to be very overwhelming, there will be alot of people.207Please respect copyright.PENANAYDeZs0NJ3j
207Please respect copyright.PENANAerFhiSOUxz
We'll show you your rooms, take today to familarize yourself with everything. The day begins at 6:30 for you all and ends at 7 p.m. Lights out are at 9 and no one is allowed in the hall outside that time.207Please respect copyright.PENANAVJ9OpmCwU7
207Please respect copyright.PENANAv9kU1LKdBy
Security will be patrolling the halls. The only reasonable excuse to leave is the bathroom or an emergency like a medical emergency or an alarm goes off signalling evacuation.207Please respect copyright.PENANA92VSAVS7kW

We'll meet with you all tomorrow and assign you your jobs."207Please respect copyright.PENANA84ml7ObxrL

"We get to sleep in a bit?" Slate says excitedly. "Yes, you all do." Solayo responds, smiling and he gently ruffles Slate's hair.207Please respect copyright.PENANAG6SablVj7U
207Please respect copyright.PENANAXxGsuvLX3G
The elevator reaches the main floor and they step out, all in awe as they walk along the bridge seeing the farm outside and sunlight streaming in from above.207Please respect copyright.PENANAJDAPwTwzG1
207Please respect copyright.PENANAU2rBZjgou2
"This is amazing." Gideon says, mouth open as they walk. They get a general tour. Cafeteria, shower and so on, are given their old tags with their first name on them and their keycards showing their access level. They are lead down a corridor that's a little more private and away from noise.207Please respect copyright.PENANAxoub8F8iuR
207Please respect copyright.PENANA4aDOrG9D1b
Two doors. "On the left here will be the boys dormitory. Gideon, Cloud and Zekey. Ya'll have a dog you forgot about. His in our apartment so Mikey will be going back to collect him. You take good care of Zekey.207Please respect copyright.PENANACgLKo0oP0T
207Please respect copyright.PENANAnmWdGyr4vj
Girls, you're all in the right room." And he opens both for our pair to split up and enter, looking around. "You want to go collect the stupid dog? I'm tired of it peeing around the place."207Please respect copyright.PENANAII8TYz4OYP
207Please respect copyright.PENANAQAUAZWdfKp
"Solayo, the dog is pretty old by this point. It-" 207Please respect copyright.PENANAaqRIPhI709

"Mikey, I don't want to hear it. Collect the damn dog." 207Please respect copyright.PENANA4m9ftsrgxU
207Please respect copyright.PENANAC8bpexWTLU
Ester goes with him to accompany him, Solayo leaves with Cloud to show him his room, a seperate private room all to his self and Grayson remains behind, gesturing for Bethany to come out and see him. 207Please respect copyright.PENANAmFyeSbzwWm
207Please respect copyright.PENANA0UMKwwUSbK
She slips out while Lyla and Paisley are distracted putting their stuff away. "Hey you." She smiles, pushing Grayson against the wall, hands feeling his toned chest and starts kissing the side of his face, trailing down his neck. "Wow, okay. Thank you, that's nice." He blushes, pushing her away.207Please respect copyright.PENANADApYrQ4tPt
