So I guess I should say that I do not own Mad Max, or any other characters, accept for mine. Thats all for this disclaimer thing…
After I was branded, a group of older women dressed in dirtied linen came and led me to a pool of water, it was the largest and cleanest amount of water that I had ever seen in my short life.
"Oh look at her." one of the women said "Poor dear she's in shock."
"I heard she just come in of the wastes." Says another, as they strip me of my raged and pillaged clothes, and walk me into the pool of water.
"Whats your name sweetie?" a different woman says.
I panic, a name whats a name? The first woman seeing my confusion says "What are you called dear? What did your family call you?"
"I, I… I don't know. I never had a name before." I told them.
"Oh you poor dear." they said as they scrubbed away my protective layer of dirt. After the women bathed me they dried me and dressed me in white linen. One of the women brushed my hair free of tangles and burrs and another then braided it back. They then lead me down another passage to a common room that had a large round metal door a woman opened the door and shoved me into a round passage, at the end of which I could see a light and hear the voices of younger women.
"Who could that be?" One asks.
"If its Immortan Joe I swear…" Said another.
"Hush, or he will hear you." Said a third.
One of the women then looked in the tunnel that I was in and said "Its not Joe at all, why its another girl. Come on out of there," she said to me "We wont hurt you I swear."
As I walked into the light I saw an assortment of women, all of them older than me, but still rather youthful. And I noted they where all very clean, and had the same brand on the back of their necks.
"Who are you?'' I asked
A blond woman answered "We are the wives of Immortan Joe, but more importantly we are his breeders. My name is Moony."
"Hello, my name is Darling." said another, she had strawberry blond curls that went down past her waist.
Next a pregnant woman introduced herself as Fertility, she was almost proud to be carrying this horrible mans baby. "Whats your name?" Fertility asked.
"I, I donno" I said "Names aren't priority in the Wastes. Food, water, and survival are."
"You come from the Wastes?" Moony asked me.
"Yes.?" I answered fearing the reply.
Moony turned to the other girls "Perhaps he wants one like Furiosa, didn't she come from the Wastes?"
"Yes, but No." Fertility said "I think she was from beyond there."
"Yea," Darling said "She came from somewhere green. She said she did at least."
"Sorry to interrupt, but who is Furiosa? And what dose she have to do with me?" I asked.
"Furiosa, is, no was one of us, a breeder,"
"But she was removed."
"Because she couldn't hold in her babies."
"She was also to wild."
"And troublesome."
"She wanted to leave."
"Its not like we wouldn't want to,"
"But we are better of here than somewhere else."
"Yes, and now she's with those foolish warboys."
"She left more than a year ago Darling, its about time we got a new girl."
"Its a pity she's so young though. Tell me, how old are you?" Darling asked me.
"Umm bout 15 years or so." I told her.
"See she's to young for him."
That was when we heard the door open, and the clunking of boots against the metal floor of the tunnel. "Darling, Moony, Fertility." the voice called out. My heart raced at the sound of him coming in, "And the new girl." he said. "After all its nice to see a new face around here isn't it?'' he gently touched my shoulder, sending a tremble of disgust and fear down my spine.
"Please don't touch me." I manage to say but it its to late, he takes this touching further, thus making it more uncomfortable for me.
"So you can talk?" He says. I can smell his rotten breath through his face mask.
"Ye-yes" I manage to stutter.
"Thats good to hear. Oh and its time for you girls to eat dinner" He said as he got up, finally leaving me alone. He proceeded to fondle Fertility "How is the little one?" he asked.
"All is well." She said. "All is well."
"That is good to hear, after all I want my son to be healthy and strong. And if he isn't, there will be consequences." The last bit seemed very threatening.
Soon the food was brought in. There was so much that I had never seen before. So many green foods that had little or no rot on them, and then there was the water, it too was so clear, and cold. I had never seen anything like it before. After all the only water I had known had been dirty and the temperature of the air around it. As soon as we where aloud I dug into my meal, I had never had this much food for myself, maybe this whole wife thing wasn't so bad. Especially if I got fresh food and water when I needed it. I would later learn that no amount of food or water could make me want to stay in the Hell that I would come to know.
