Violet POV.

Let me tell you a bit about the earth, not the one you know, it's not all white and black, it's not a straight road, I don't care about your ethnicity, or what your religion is, everyone else might, but not me. The life that I know is completely different from everyone else, I don't give two damn about who the new president is, I don't pay much attention to any drama, I don't live under a rock, I'm still on Earth, but the thing is I don't belong here anymore.

Area fifty-one, aliens, UFO, they all are real, but they aren't that common, people aren't supposed to know about them, but I do, and they are real. They wanted to learn about earth, about our habits and genetics, but humans are way too scared for that, they decided to make a deal with us, we'd give them one of ours, well more than one.

We'd give them some of ours, they have volunteered some of us, we didn't have the real choice here, people who wouldn't be missed, kids that are unwanted. But our human bodies couldn't take being in space, their planet wasn't made for us, we were too weak and fragile, and so they had to change their plans. Instead of taking us straight to their planet, they taught us about it first, they started to get our bodies ready for the trip, we were genetically modified until we could make it there.

But they didn't want a normal human, since we couldn't make it there, they came over and studied us, things we had different, they don't have kids, they don't grow old, they don't change, they are created adults, they never go through childhood, they don't go through parenthood, they are just them! And that's a big thing for them, to have kids, but they can't take real kids from earth, instead, they take adults, ones that could take living in their planet.

Us the adults who are taken, we get a chance to have a second childhood, our first one is filled with lessons and being taught about the aliens, about our future life with them, about our future owner, we have to obey them, they'd be our mommy and daddy until we pass our new childhood, then we'd be treated like adults, maybe not full adults.

There's a thing called cgl, caregiver little, it's one of earth dynamics, a coping mechanism for most, a safe place for others. It's when the human goes to a little space, a younger headspace, they'd act like kids and be treated like ones from their caregiver, but they could also have some sexual adult life when they aren't in that headspace. That's what I've been taught my whole life, I'm sixteen now, and I've been born and raised in this facility, the teacher and nannies aren't that bad, I live in the facility, I'm not allowed to leave, a thing I don't like.

When I asked why I can't leave, they'd always tell us that we can't get attached to earth, we are leaving, we'll be attached to our new home, to our new owners, me personally, I was always told I would be having a daddy, not that I had the choice I could scream at them I don't want him, I don't want to be a little. But they'd never listen, my fate was all decided even before I was born. I'm to keep on with my treatment, not that I do, some days I'd skip the pills, spitting them out, I'm a trouble maker according to the nanny who's in charge of me. I don't like their rules, I always wanted to get out of the facility, I want to see the outside, I want to skip the treatment that makes me super emotional, or make me feel like I'm a baby, they also make my body small, I don't feel or look like a sixteen-year-old, my chest is too flat, I cry way too easily, and I won't be talking about my night accidents, those happen, and it's the end of this topic.

Others in the facility get daily phone calls from their future partners, some get gifts, and notes and letters, I on the other hand don't believe in any of that. If they were real I'd have mine too, but I never received anything, maybe they are real, but I'm here by mistake, I have no one out there for me, no one is waiting for me, and so I decided to run away, it's not my first trial to run away, but this time I will succeed, I heard the nannies talking about a visit from them, someone who's really high in the food chain, that would be my perfect distraction, no one would pay attention to little me, while they have a big important alien on earth.
