(In the future young children are taken from their mother's very young and put into a sanction to be educated. Once 18 they were marked with a symbol and put into a certain section to learn how to be something. But if your anything less then perfect then you were quarantined in another section for them to 'straighten you out'. A young girl called Yuki and her best friend Honey are 17 and have been in the sanction for 12 years. With only one year left with each other they have to try to make the most of it. They try to hide what they feel towards each other to everyone else in the world and each other. But when they confess and people find out, they become quarantined and separated. Will they keep their love tied or will they end up stop the fight that can depend on life and death.)
Yuki, Wren, Jade and Paris were all fast asleep while Honey was up. It was her turn to make breakfast for her group so she had decided to get up early, even though she barely had any sleep. All she could think about was the membership, that all of her friends would be separated and she would no longer be able to talk to them ever again made her heart ache.
The room that the five of them slept in didn't have much room. It was just 5 beds stacked next to each other in one corner, a small window that didn't have any glass on it and was mainly made out of wood, a small kitchen area that only had two cabinets and a fridge in and another room that had a typical bathroom requirements. Honey reached over for the butter and started to spread each slice of toast. She had to be careful how much she put on each one as they were ration sized proportions and once that was gone. They wouldn't get any more until the next month. They also rarely had a wide variety of food options. It would usually be bread, some sort of vegetable, meat and a small handful of whatever other food they desired.
The sanction area is very strict on food and security, keeping everyone hungry but alive. In the summer the temperature could almost go up to 46° which would cause death rates in the younger side of them increase dramatically. Whereas in the winter it would be the more preferred season where it would still be warm but usually it would stay breezy and cool for the most part. The sanction was small but quardened off from each gender. The males were on the left and the females were on the right. They would also make them stay with each other depending on the ages gap. Yuki, Honey and Jade were all 17 and Wren and Paris were 16, so because of that they were out together at a really young age. You will never switch out your roommates and whether you like them or not you end up living with them for a important part of your life. It was 4:15 which was another thing that the sanction was strict about, you couldn't be out between 11:00 pm and 4:00 am and you had to be up before 7. They can stay up for as long as they need but they have to be inside their rooms before 11.
Honey placed each slice of toast in the fridge for later for when they wake up. It was past 4 for she was allowed to go outside, so she did. Honey was so nervous that they had to be a part of a membership program. She had a secret that she had been trying for so long to hide that if she keeps it in any longer then she will become something that she doesnt want to be. Each place gives you a certain symbol that you end up possessing which also gives you a certain choice in your life that you are given. There are 6 places all together. (throughout the story it will talk about them)
Honey always preferred to wander off into her own little area that she had created for herself when she was young. The only person that knows of her secret place is Yuki. Along the border is a long line of think bushes, when Honey and Yuki were little they managed to make a small hole into the bush and on the other side is a small meadow covered is unholy smells that most people in this world would not understand if you tried to describe them. Honey loves to sit under the willow tree and read a old book that they had managed to steal from the library and Yuki would love to run around in the field and cover herself in pollen, in the sanction the only smell that comes from there is dirt and animal fecis. They made this place when they were 8 and even tried to plant two poppies in the ground next to each other, it ended up becoming a tradition for every year on the same day they would plant a poppy in the same place they always do. Beside the willow tree is a small pond covered in dragonfly's. Not very many animals survived after the nuclear war so breeding had to become a new habit in a lot of peoples lives. Especially if you were quarantined, just the word made people scatter if people over thought about it they probably wouldn't see the light of day ever again. When the kids were 5 and just began this life of being sanctioned they told everyone a story about the quarantine. The story went as this.
There were two young males in the sanction and they were normal just like everyone else. Except they had a secret, they were secretly gay and because of that when they were 18 and they got there symbol. They were in the same group and shared the idea of being different to everyone in that place. This did not help the system and no7 was terminated for good. Whenever kids heard this story it put a chilled down there spines and they promised to never be anything that isn't perfect. According to the higher beings that is also why the quarantine was made. To keep away the worms from the red jucy apples.
It had been an hour and Honey was still reading one fo her favourite books, the arts of life. One of the only books that isn't about being perfect, it had lots of colours aswell as pictures and it always made Honey think of the lighter side of hell. Honey jumped and turned around quickly when she heard a srustle from the bushes. At first she believed that it was one of the guards doing a check for wholes but as she peered to the whole and looked behind her she saw Yuki trying to sneakily crawl to Honey. Honey was about to say something when Yuki ran up to her and put her hand on Honey's mouth. They both looked to the small hole to see that Yuki had covered it up to make it look thick as just between all the branches and thorns a giant pair of boots stoof facing towards the bush directly looking at Yuki and Honey. The bushes were too tall and thick for him to see them, but they might still be able to hear them. Yuki removed her hand from Honeys mouth and they both knelt towards the floor keeping their eyes on the pair of boots. For another 10 minutes the pair of boots just seemed to be waiting there for something to happen. So Yuki grabbed her phone out and put heat signiture on. There was a clear body there but it wasn't doing much. The girls looked st each other and slowly started to walk away from the wall and too the other side of the meadow, far away fir anyone to hear them.
One membership which is a lot like this is the meadow membership which usually means that you would get a small power on you right or left cheek and a bee on your shoulder. The meadow is a beautiful place to stay, it's off the coastline of Greece and there is so many things to do. There is a seaside with an infinity pool, a tropical rainforest and  secluded fleids where there are both flowers and animals. Although even though it sounds good the place isn't all that nice. It consists of mainly fish eating people who basically live in the sea and your face becomes all wrinkly and you only live until your 30 which isn't as bad as some of them but it still sint a very long lasting life.
For the rest of the day Yuki and Honey stayed out in the meadows, finding new flower and taking photos of them. They seemed to look beautiful during this time of season there were so many flowers. But when winter came along they all seemed to disappear as though they never existed in the first place. It was getting late and the girls needed to get back before 5 before they go back to wall petrol and then be in their cabin before 11 so then they don't get yelled at for being late.
Today is the same as any other day, but tomorrow should be better.
