After sitting for about fifteen minutes, or what feels luke an hour, you can’t take it anymore. The constant anxiety someone would catch on at any given moment... you needed to leave. Looking around you saw that a large group of women were busy, crisscrossing through the bustle with their independant orders. A few women begin loading up in a transport, and you realise that no one was looking your way. Wasting no time you get up, heading for an alleyway fifty yards away. You gain speed as your confidence increases. You would be clear in just a few seconds... thats when you feel and arm on your shoulder. A chill runs down your spine as you snap around, and another larger chill runs down it when you recognize it was your mother. Your heart races, however, fortunately it seems she didnt seem to know who you were, “what are you doing? Its dangerous out here.” She says. You quickly rack your mind for an answer, “I need to find my mother, she could be in danger.” You say. Unfortunatley it wasnt enough,
“Your mother will be in good hands, we’ll make sure you are reunited when things are safe.” She says confortingly, but at this point you were far from comfort. “But please, I’m so worried, and I have a gun to protect myself.” You say, guesturing towards your bag, hoping she wouldnt think to check it. “Please, we can take care of it.” She says in a last ditch atempt to persuade you. You shake your head, “no, I’m going after her.” Your mother then, after a moment, reluctantly lets you go, “just promise you’ll come right back here when you find her.” You nod you head, “I promise.”
You had no intention of ever returing. You quickly head out with determination to your stride, quite fast with your legs being shorter. You were so determined to get away you forgot to pay attention to your surroundings, and you end up walking right into a squad of males. They all aim their guns at you, and you curse in your head. “Raise your hands girl! You are under arrest by the Federation of Men!”
You gulp, now what had you gotten yourself into.
