A lanky, dark skinned girl ran down a rugged street. The buildings looked like miniature dumps in spite of the fact that people still lived in them. People who called out to her as she went. Her long, yet naturally nappy hair was pulled into a ponytail on the side of her head was combed out as good as it could be. She wore mix-matched knee-high socks, one with red and white stripes and one with purple and blue polka dots and tattered gym shoes. Her outfit itself was a v-cut red shirt, a pleated skirt and fingerless gloves. This type of outfit was actually quite normal where she lived.
She finally ran down a hill and into another old building. On the inside it smelled of mildew and possibly a few dead animals, but she was accustomed to it. Finally, she ran into a room full of people.
"Genesis, how nice of you to join us." Said the oldest woman in the room. Genesis took an open seat and sat down.
"I'm sorry ma'am, the police stopped me." She replied while catching her breath, as she had been running for a while.
"The police stopped three other people on their way here and they got here on time. You just need to leave earlier." The teacher said irritably. "Did you make sure you weren't being followed?"
"Yes ma'am." Genesis replied. The teacher sighed.
"Okay then, you read the first paragraph on page two thirty nine." She said. Genesis picked up the old tattered book that she had to share with four other people, stood up and began to read. The conditions of her "school" were indeed awful, as were the conditions of her whole community. The school she went to wasn't even legally authorized. No schools were legally authorized for racial minorities. The school she went to was underground. The person who ran it said, "They have taken our knowledge. I'm giving it back."
The world has changed. It's 2092, but minorities are being treated like it's 1920. The world is ran by a dictator, who oddly, no one had ever seen. Only people with the whitest of skin are given good treatment. These people live in their own communities, away from everyone else. Sure, a while ago people were against it, but all of those people were squared out and executed. They hadn't done anything; they were killed because of what they believed. Genesis was born into this dictatorship, as were many other people. Everyday she had to run to school and make sure she wasn't followed and everyday after school everyone had to split up and go out of their way to get home, so that if police were watching it would be hard to trace them back to the school building. No one got homework; if the students were seen with school bags then it would arouse more suspicion.
After Genesis made it home she fell down on her old futon mattress. She lived alone because her parents were killed when she was three and since then she has been caring for herself. She grew up faster than any girl should. After saying a prayer she dozed off to sleep peacefully, but her gentle sleep was shattered when she felt something tickling her nose.
She woke up and there was a grown man with long dark red hair pulled into a ponytail and light blue eyes over her face. She didn't know how to react because this man was obviously white, so she screamed and sat up. The man was very fast, as he was able to avoid getting his head bumped. Genesis was terrified. She knew that a white man would only come to a black girl's house for one reason; it had happened to one of her best friends. Genesis scurried over into a corner and stayed there in a fetal position, trembling in fear. She looked up for a split second and studied the man's appearance. He was slightly muscular, which could be seen through the shirt he had on. He also had on slightly baggy jeans, high top combat boots and fingerless gloves. His left ear was pierced.
"Is this the girl?" Said the man in a gruff voice. Another man with long red hair emerged from another room in her small apartment and spoke.
"Yes that's her, and try not to scare her so much Reijin." Said the second man. The second man sounded effeminate. His hair was a slightly lighter color and he wore it down. His eyes were oddly yellow and he wore red glasses with chains that had skull charms. He had on dress pants, a white shirt and a vest, but he wore a beautiful red jacket off his shoulders. The first man, whose name was Reijin, walked up to Genesis, causing her to burst into tears.
"Please…please… don't hurt me!" she begged, burying her face into her hands. Reijin groaned.
"You deal with her Grell, I don't have the energy to deal with all of this emotion." He said while falling on her bed with a loud thud. The second man, Grell, walked up to Genesis and placed a hand on shoulder, causing her to jump.
"It's okay Genesis, we aren't going to hurt you." He said. She looked at the man with tear stained eyes.
"How do you know my name?" she asked. The Grell character pulled out a handkerchief and offered it to her to wipe her eyes. She took it hesitantly and wiped away her tears. Grell opened his mouth to speak but he was stopped by a small beeping sound. He looked down at a digital watch that he had on his wrist. Reijin sighed.
"Is it time already?" he groaned.
"Yes." Grell said as he pulled out a small red book from his pocket, scribbled something in it and put it away. He then turned to Genesis.
"I have to do something, but it is something you may want to see." He began. "Would you like to come with us?" Genesis stared at them warily. She didn't know what to say. Even so, she found herself nodding slowly.
"Okay, this won't hurt, but you won't be able to breathe for a few seconds." Reijin said as he walked up to her. She squeezed her eyes tight as he placed his hand firmly on her forehead and Genesis had the strangest sensation that she was being pulled out of her skin. Just like what Reijin had said, it didn't hurt, but she indeed couldn't breathe for a few seconds. She opened her eyes and realized that after that she felt and looked completely normal. Reijin grabbed her wrist and dragged her out of the room. Grell followed close in foot.
"Where are we going?" Genesis thought.
A/N: So yeah, last night I couldn't sleep because I had to sleep on the couches but at six in the morning I was able to go to bed and I had this dream. Since it was a dream some of the things in it weren't fully explained so I put in some of my own logic to make more sense of it. The parts of the dream, however, were vivid as hell, and Reijin was BEAUTIFUL! He was epic sexy! Who exactly Reijin is will be explained later.
While I have two other stories that I am working on, I had to type this one out right away because I have an extremely shitty memory. Sometimes I forget that I have a middle name, and when I do remember that I have one I forget what it is, I forget how old I am, blabla you get the point. This story was rated T because of a few topics about race and sexuality and I rated it T to be safe (unlike all of my other stories that are rated T for language).
R&R Please.
