Productive

Tintern Hall #1

It soon became clear we had no rights we belonged to the world, you would think we would have been treated like royalty, in the beginning girls like me were, but the elite found treating us like we had committed a crime easier to get what they wanted and a lot cheaper.

Each week we had blood taken and a health check, we were given supplements if we had any irregularities, our food was carefully made with just the right amount of what we needed no more no less, it didn’t matter if it wasn’t enough or tasted like s**t, we had to eat it.

Every couple of months we were inspected by the elite, and they took notes and photos, asked us questions then dismissed us.

Mistress Ruth would hold an assembly every Thursday morning and would tell us the same thing over and over.

“being here at Tintern hall will be your greatest honour, you are receiving the best education and health care in the world, once you have provided the world with a child you will be held as hero’s! All our families are extremely proud to say they have a productive daughter and are happy to serve the world to make humanity survive”, Mistress Ruth would beam around the room at all of us, she really was brain washed.

I have now been here for two years, I have watch girls get selected and taken away and never see them again, Mistress Ruth is having baby number two, I learnt very early on that Mistress Ruth was Productive and had chosen to stay at Tintern hall and continue to be surrogate, she had given her first child away when she was 18, this baby will be given away just like the first, the woman was a machine that truly believed that every productive girl here should be like her and have as many children as you could to keep the world going, she wasn’t the only one, another woman I’m not sure where had already had 4 and wasn’t stopping yet.

Standing at the end of my bed, I started to shake, my name is going to be called and I was leaving, whether it was alone or with others, two other girls had turned 18 in the past week, that included Samantha the girl I arrived here with, we have become very close, well as close as they will let us and I hope where ever we are going we would be together.

“Elanor Fisher and Sarah McCray please follow me”, I turn and see the terror on Sam’s face and knew it was reflecting my own. “Mistress Ruth” I called out “Miss Fisher no times for questions please follow me”, Mistress Ruth replied in a dismissive tone and left the room.

“Sam” I cried, “you have to go Ellie, they will be back and force you I can’t watch that happen”, she hugged me, “I will be fine, and I will see you soon I promise, now go”, “you can’t promise that! We don’t know where we are going”, “all I know is I will find you, ok?” I nodded and released her, I dressed and saw Sarah was waiting at the door I grabbed her hand and we walked out together.

“No physical contact please girls”, Mistress Ruth said over her shoulder as we followed her down the hall, “there is nothing to worry about this is a joyous day, you are about to meet the families you will be providing a child to, they have selected you, now big happy smiles please ladies, this way”.

She led us to the entrance where two black cars were waiting, Mistress Ruth pointed for me to enter the first car and Sarah to the second, “thank you ladies, it has been a pleasure and a privilege, and I hope to see you both soon”, with that Mistress Ruth turned back to Tintern hall and disappeared through the door.

I shut the car door and it began to move I looked out the back window and watched as the hall became obstructed by trees, we exited the gate, a single sob escaped me as I knew my life was going to get much worse.
