The Plaisaint's Residence

Location Oregon, US

I'm four again being carried by the officer to the helicopter. Before hearing the loud pleads of the woman I focus on the building I'm being taken out of its huge, white, and has two red markings on it. Then I see a flag its blue with a white bird before I could fully make out the image gun fires and I wake up in a cold sweat. Before anything I wrote down the new details in my dream journal. When I read about lucid dreaming I've been jotting down details about the memory dream to try to find about my life before the Fertility Act was put into action.

As I started to get ready for the day I remembered who arrived today and I start smiling until I walk out of my room too see Gideon at the end of the hall with a black eye. "Gideon what the hell happened to you?" I ask concerned for my friend "It's the male fertile the tranquilizer wore off early he started freaking out and throwing punches sadly I was at the receiving end." he explained "I am so sorry I swear -OXY16-8 is a violent man" I said apologetically "No no it's okay I understand he's freaked out and people do crazy things when they're freaked out so I won't hold this against him" Gideon said reassuring me "Thank you, you're a kind person, now where is -OXY16-8 him and I will have words." I said in a grateful then sternly "He's in the room down the hall be careful I heard him throwing things in their." said Gideon.

Standing in front of the door too my best friend's room I hear glass breaking, furniture flipping over, and metal being thrown on the wall jeez. When the noise finally stopped I spoke "Are you finished? Can I come in?" soon after he opened the door and for the first time we saw each other without the glass wall. "Is that really you?" he said "Yes" I said while grabbing his hand to assure him that I'm real. God I thought he was attractive before but after hearing his voice for the first time ever brand new level. After a minute of holding each others hands we went into his room where that he completely trashed his room "You're gonna help Gideon clean this mess up." I said "Yeah, wait who's Gideon?" he said "The Plaisaint's butler and the guy that you punched in the face!" I said then punch -OXY16-8 in the shoulder. "Okay first of all Ow! Second of all I was blindfolded!" he said as rolled my eyes "Look +BXX" he said before I cut him off "Do not call me by that, that is my slave name inside this house we treat each other as equals that name tells me that I'm not a living being." I said as clear as a crystal. A full minute of silence before he asks "Then what do I call you?" "Bethany" I said proudly.

14 days earlier...

"Dang it we spent so much time chatting that I never got your name." said Miss Leta "Its +BXX30-10 ma'am" I said "No not your identification your name, wait a minute that's your actual name?" she said shocked "Yes" I said. I then see a little grin on her face "Tell you what if you still want to go by +BXX30-10 while you're here that's perfectly alright, but if you want to be called by some other name you let me know it's up to you" she said after leaving my room. While reading a bible I come across the story of when Jesus brought his friend Lazarus back from the dead. It happened in village of Bethany something about that name felt natural. When morning arrived sitting at the table with Miss Leta "If it's alright with you may I go by the name Bethany?" I asked her "Of course Bethany" she said with gratitude.

Present day…..

We stayed in silence for a good five minutes just staring at each other the tension was so thick you need a chainsaw to cut though it. Finally a vase falls from the self breaking the silence and we start talking. "Look I get that you don't trust them like I do hopefully with time you will learn, but until then can you trust me?" I said "Of course I can you've been my best friend since we were ten, and I dreamt the day when there would be no glass between us." he said then held my hand. Then I did something that I wanted to do since I was fifteen I kissed him and the best part he kissed me back. Like Romeo and Juliet only instead of lust it's love.
