Mum's POV:
The drive through the country roads seemed to take forever. Luckily, David was home to drive with me.
"Honey, how much longer do we have to wait until we're home?" I ask as I stare out the window.
"Another half hour will do us some time. What color do you want Zack and Miranda in?"
"What about Zack in green and Miranda in blue? Or would you like them kind of like the twins?"
"No. I want them in different colors so they aren't allowed to be married. My orders. Remember?"
"Fine. You win. So... Zack in navy blue... and Miranda in... red? Will that work?"
"Sure. As long as we can find a husband for Miranda and a wife for Zack. Two good ones that are stiff. That can tackle anything... like how we did. And our Keepers did. But now, we are the Keepers of them. These next 200 kids we will own will be just like us. And after we collect 200, the grays will take our place and we will be taken from our place. Killed by our children that way they can take their rightful place."
I look back at him."I am so glad I got taken away from my family to be with you."
"Me too." he says as he places his hand on my thigh.
~~~~~~~~~~~
We arrive a few minutes later and it looks the same way it did when i was a teenager. Old and rusty, white paint chipping off the side of the garage. This used to be an alive storage space for people's stuff but now its our family's dwelling history.
The rusty old door that David put up a while ago has an old padlock on it that our Keepers used and their Keepers used ...and so on. Ok. So even before this thing started.
"David, can you get them from the back of the van while I open the door?"I ask walking away.
"Sure thing. Here's the key." he stands and tosses the key over to me. #21. My favorite number. Well... apart from 13 yeah.
The door easily opens and I check that the lights are still on. I leave the door open as I walk inside. The table has been set for this occasion of 2 new kids. At one point they all will be Keepers. Zack will be a very nice Keeper because of his knowledge. I hope Miranda is the same as him with Devin.
The door slams shut and I am awoken from my thoughts as David walks in carrying Zack and Miranda on his shoulders.
"AWWW! Isn't that cute?!" I blurt out loud, suddenly regretting it.
"Mum? What's going on?" asks Miranda waking up."Dad?"
"Go back to sleep honey, Dad's right here. Just a bad dream. Goodnight, honey."
Miranda's head falls back on David's shoulder.
"That was too close. Don't you dare do that again, do you hear me?" David asks, spitting in my face.
"Yes, Master David."
