Becky was new here. A recent member resided in the dormitory just a day. As people heard the TV screen declared the news, they hastened to its location. The little girl followed the stream of people while covering her right wrist with her other hand. She walked modesty as if someone was looking at her and that person would punish her if she committed any unintentional wrongdoing (which she could not know exactly which ones were wrong). Facing the TV screen, she raised her head to read the message. It wrote, copyright protection158PENANAIvEyq98KJE

“What ‘relocation’ means?” The boy with the red hair and a lot of freckles on his face asked the pretty girl next to him. They were standing next to Becky, talking. Two of them moved ahead so now they stood in front of her. Both were taller. Becky was not a petite girl but a tiny girl even though she turned fifteen two months ago. She did not grow any taller and her size did not make her look cuter; in contrast, it attracted no friends but bullies. From the school to the asylum, and to this mysterious place, the bullies still loved to threaten her.copyright protection158PENANAv5z7w1dApa
“Move out? But to where? Oops, sorry,” the pretty girl apologized as she elbowed her head. “Sorry, I can’t see you.”copyright protection158PENANAQcAWAe1cmI
Becky was always invisible and she was familiar with it. She bowed her head, “It’s alright.” Her voice was very low like a whisper. Her eyes observed the beautiful girl. Becky could saw one side of her face; she had a very adorable facial appearance. The little girl bit her lips. Every girl wanted to possess that kind of face, the appearance of divinity. She did not understand why God had a slight pity for her. In lieu of giving her more intelligence, more beauty, or more love, God gave her the curse. He loved his children without equity. The girl in front of Becky was the example of God’s favorite children. copyright protection158PENANApFwcexBGVF
Most people seemed to know each other already. They grouped together. They had friends. Becky looked around. There were hundreds of people, quite a lot. She was never good at befriending people. It might be because she came from Castimonia, the district in Lone Alley State which was very renowned as the extreme conservative cultural society. A faraway land, the tradition, and people’s lifestyle were very different from the other cities where people regarded the Castimonians as the pre-historic people, without the developed mind. Becky lived there with her family of eight members and a flock of sheep. People were substantially religious including her parents. She was a freak of the village; therefore, only sheep were her true friends. Another one big reason, she had the ability to make people annoying her. As a result, keeping the distance from other people was the best idea.copyright protection158PENANAwJOlo2N4sB
Owing to her tininess, Becky was capable of getting out of the crowd easily. Without the understanding of the message on the screen, the girl specifically focused on her wrist. She tried so hard to strip off the wristband which attached to her since staying at the asylum. It made of plastic but was too endurable. She once tried to use the knife in the cafeteria but its sharpness could not cut the wristband off. Apart from her nature, Becky was too embarrassed to ask for help from anyone because when they saw the wristband, they would look at her as if she was unorthodox. It shamed her painfully.copyright protection158PENANArb4RUqaJrR
It’s impossible to take it off. Becky gave up. I have to live with it for the rest of my life. She did not know where to head to. There were many facilities but Becky had too much fear for the exploration. copyright protection158PENANA2Wdz4q4tr2
“Becky, you’re here?” The boy with chocolate eyes blocked her way. They had been met the previous day and it was not pleasant. How could this boy make his own pact within twenty-four hours? His peers were boys nearly to his ages. The authority said they were the last lot. “I told my friends you came from an asylum. They want to know what kind of place you resided?”copyright protection158PENANAMyaLlEwhEa
He knew what kind of the asylum she departed from. He already knew wholeheartedly. Observing his outfits, his shirt was clean and neat, contrasting with her plain white-yellow dress. Actually, it had never been her clothes but uniform. His leather shoes had no trace of dirt while Becky wore the old green ballet flat shoes. A prep boy he was. Plutax, the name he had told her. The boy grabbed the girl’s right arms.copyright protection158PENANAHufehKGvGz
“No!” She resisted but he grabbed her arm so tight. Without permission, he read her name on the wristband aloud in order to expose the victim, “Becky Quinn, Mental Asylum under Castimonia Administration Office 3. Oh, guys, she came from Castimonia and a mental asylum!”copyright protection158PENANAemr7FAFXRg

Plutax was one year older than her. Sixteen of his age, they arrived at the same time. He introduced himself and narrated his long story until she almost dozed off. She thought he was nice at first and they could be good friends but as he saw her wristband, the reaction changed. He turned out to be a bully monster.copyright protection158PENANAAch1XLTkvS
The life savior paused and turned to face her. “I’m Rami. You’re Becky, right?”copyright protection158PENANAq2s0GGCPs2
The girl shyly nodded. Seeing him closely, he was too young but there was something made her think he’s still older. Might be because of his mature look. copyright protection158PENANAtQUdSbihwj
“You don’t have to be afraid of me. I just came here yesterday. Can you tell me what this place is for? And what does it means on the screen?”copyright protection158PENANAlWSzJfeUz7
“I don’t know…I just came here yesterday, the same day as you, in the evening,” she replied, scared that he would be displeased.copyright protection158PENANA0EU822p8x5
“It’s alright. Okay, so you’re the last lot. I arrived here last morning,” he said like comfort. Rami examined the wristband and tried to take it off without judging. Same, the plastic was totally sticky. However, he made her feel at ease.copyright protection158PENANAyu6DQBBBVF
“It’s so sticky…Hey! Yeah, you two, can you help us?” The boy called the redhead and the pretty girl Becky met at the front of the cafeteria. She tried to stop him but it was too late. The two seniors walked towards them. She guessed that they were around seventeen or eighteen years old. The girl lowered her head, hiding behind Rami’s back.copyright protection158PENANA8Rb0RaEukj
“Can I help you?” The redhead asked and smiled kindly and the girl did the same until she saw her blue eyes which made her immediately shivering. copyright protection158PENANAOuG2g47U6B
Those blue eyes were the same scary eyes in the dream. It had the dark-blue rim around the iris with deep-ocean color and dazzling light inside. That face too, though, in the dream, it was blurry, but it was similar to the radiant one in the real life. It was the dream that made her family put her in the asylum because Becky kept screaming at night. They said she was born with the satanic curse, impure and sinful. Because frequently, Becky’s dreams usually turned out to be true; the curse that she had never wanted it. And those blue eyes, even now they shone the warm amity, she knew they would turn into ice someday. Becky dared not to trust them.copyright protection158PENANAfTBp2lMwYy
“Don’t be afraid of us. It’s alright. Do you need help?” The beautiful girl tenderly comforted. Her sound was gentle but Becky hardly relied on the sweetness, owing to the fact that sweetness always lures people into the trap. The girl with the copper hair was still unmoved. Therefore, Rami grabbed her arms and explained to them. They had not demonstrated any bad reaction but willingly tried to help.copyright protection158PENANA5cS2oqu4GL
“I think my friend can help you,” the beautiful girl suggested a name, Ben.copyright protection158PENANA8nB2yzsFV3
Rami, still holding her hand, took all his interest in the other girl. They followed them to somewhere to see the one who could cut the wristband off. And Rami never took his eyes out of the girl (very obvious) who walked ahead. They were chatting but did not invite them to join.copyright protection158PENANAksHO6cxPWQ
“If anyone can beat Wade’s meanness, I nominate Ben,” the redhead said. “Remember? Wade verbally attacked him and he said, “Is there any red spot on my clothes? I’ve never worn red things.

Becky and Rami kept their silence. The two, boy and girl led them to the swimming pool where some people were diving in it. The girl with the blonde hair swam in her bikini but when Becky made the closer look, it was her lingerie as she saw the lace on it. Becky’s eyes surveyed the others; most boys wore short pants instead of swimming pants. Only the redhead and the beautiful girl wore the casual outfit. The older girl shouted to the man with the brunette hair. As he emerged from the water, Becky saw the most striking face, the most handsome creature she had ever seen. He could beat all the stupid boys in her school. This young man possessed the stunning amber eyes. His naked top body induced Becky’s eyegasm.copyright protection158PENANAaimgsG82ul
She started to be uneasy. These people were similar to the bully gang in her school. These types of people who god loved them the most ruled the school and they were always dangerous and mean.copyright protection158PENANAOtEIT80q7n
“Your sister, Oslo?” The one who was called Ben asked the boy when his eyes caught her. “What can I help you, my Bambi?”copyright protection158PENANAp3YDp72tce

He pulled her hand without gentleness. Becky felt hot to the bone as his eyes scanned the letters on the wristband. Ben looked up at her face, expressing the strange and domineering gaze that pressured her. He seemed to think something for a while. A few minutes later, the wristband fell from her arm. It had been cut with something she had no idea of. Becky hurriedly picked it up and collected it in her pocket, intending to throw it away somewhere else.copyright protection158PENANAyz3fBjYNm1

Rami looked eagerly to enjoy with these people as she saw his brown eyes gaze at them with the hope of invitation. And once they invited him, the boy instantly accepted. He dragged her with him as if they were sister and brother or stayed together for a long time. The girl still feared Alexis’s blue eyes so she was stick with her newest brother and tried not to talk to that girl. Alexis probably noticed her unintentional unfriendliness so she gave up and talked to Rami instead. The boy, who acted as her guardian, could not conceal his proud smile. She was lovely anyway; it was not strange to see Rami’s reaction when he was just a boy.copyright protection158PENANAoCyy2VeSkc
They sat near the pool. Those who were swimming in the water came to the pool’s edge. On the ground, a large-sized man and a small girl joined the group. Both wore casual outfits. He came with a small girl who made Becky felt at ease. Their names were Noel and Minnie.copyright protection158PENANAZ4wHgkEzCW
The new girl examined Minnie for a long period as one told her they were the same, but she found no similarity between her and the girl. Noel and Minnie had the darker skin and ocean eyes but Becky’s hair was copper and her skin was palely fair.copyright protection158PENANACzfUWA1J11
“Your sister?” The boy with the blond hair teased Becky and Oslo. His red hair was darker than her and he had more freckles. Moreover, her eyes were dark green not brown like him. copyright protection158PENANAgkoLuxumDc
“Two new members…why don’t we sit in a circle and introduce ourselves by names and what your status is?” Ben suggested.copyright protection158PENANA9baEvt8eME
It was the last thing Becky wanted to do. She expected no one would agree with him. However, nobody dissented for him. They formed a circle, sitting near the pool.

“Can I add more one condition? If you’re the risk, tell us what your ability is,” the blond said. Broad shoulder and hot body, he and the blonde-haired girl (who wore lace inner wears) leaned on each other.

Becky listened to them with eagerness. The familiarity with a lot of people had never existed in her life. In the school, no one allowed her to sit with them. The more years passed, few numbers of friends left, and in the last year of her study before being sent to the asylum, she sat alone.copyright protection158PENANA5uZ0OYKfue
The girl learned that Minnie’s sister called Tessa. A divine beauty with the exquisite dark skin she was, whose physical appearance definitely surpassed her younger sister, had the shining gray eyes and confident personality. She had the strong character that Becky felt like she closed the door of welcoming. In addition, Tessa could attack people with the sound.copyright protection158PENANAgsDv5p2dX1
“She’s a banshee. Do you know Banshee?” The amber eyes made a joke but it did not sound like a joke to the target. Banshee was one of many ghosts Becky feared to death every time she closed her eyes at night.copyright protection158PENANAUQLnxqocIj

The one who sat next to Ben was named Alex and he declared that he could vibrate things and make the shockwave.

“The secret communities…how can you find them? As I remember from the book, after the world war III, people suffered from hunger, polluted environment and diseases and the apocalypse followed.

“Half true,” Rami answered. “In the secret communities, people have not focused on the disaster but on the survivors. Do you think who will be the survivors? Poor people? Citizens? No, the survivors must be elites, rich people, businessman, world influencers, politicians, royal bloods, scientists; I don’t think general people survived. And if they were, here we are, living like labors, wheel turners. The folks must perish since the first wave and the world war III. Rarely of them could make it to the post-apocalypse.
