HAZEL
HER LUNGS BURN .
They should, because of the cigarette that rests between her lips, but
she’s surprised at the unpleasantness.
She was hoping for a rush, anything at all, to snap her out of the stupor
her mind is stuck in.
Holding the pack in her hands was more exciting than having the damn
cigarette in her mouth, and disappointment clouds her thoughts.
Nothing has changed.
Tomorrow, she’ll be back at that school, teaching the children and
wondering if she’s doing the right thing.
But for now she stares out past the water, focusing on the small point of
light.

She’s parked too far away to see it clearly. Chain link and barbed wire
block the view of the small island. Even if she pressed herself against the
fence, she wouldn’t be able to make out any of the details.
She’s not supposed to be here, that much is for sure.
So why is she sitting in her car, staring at the chain-link fence, hoping
for something to change?
There must be something seriously wrong with her. She’s sure no one
else does this.
No one else stares danger in the face, wondering when it will come out
to play.
You’re losing it. You should leave.
She tries the cigarette again, letting the smoke invade her lungs, and she
ends up coughing obnoxiously.
It’s still dull.
It’s still not enough.
“YOU WENT OUT THERE AGAIN, DIDN’T YOU?” AVA ASKS ON THEIR
lunch break.
Hazel bites her lip and stares at her salad. “Went out where?” She tries
to sound innocent, but to no avail.
“You know where,” her best friend hisses. “You know exactly what I’m
talking about.”
The break room is empty except for them, the only two Omegas that
work at Lincoln City Elementary.
They’re the only two Omegas with teaching jobs in all of Washington
state.
Hazel chews on a piece of lettuce, refusing to meet Ava’s eyes. “Even if
I did, there’s nothing wrong with it.”
She doesn’t sound convincing at all.
“Are you trying to get yourself killed?” Ava snaps, keeping her voice
low. “What if they escape? What if one of them smells you, and breaks out
—”
“That won’t happen. I just go there to think.”
“Then go somewhere else!” Ava slams her fist down on the table, and
Hazel jumps. “Go anywhere else to think. Sit on a roof, climb a tree, I don’t
care. But please, you can’t keep going there.”
Hazel swallows a bite of salad and stabs at another piece of lettuce. She
still can’t meet Ava’s eyes. How can she begin to explain what she’s feeling
to Ava? “Nothing feels right anymore,” she mutters. “Not since they took
Connor.”
Ava darts her eyes around the room, making sure the area is still empty.
“It was an isolated incident,” she whispers. “You know children are never
supposed to present that young, Hazel. It wasn’t safe to keep him here
anymore.”
Tears fill Hazel’s eyes. If she lets them fall, she fears they’ll never stop.
“I miss him too,” Ava continues. “My kids ask about him all the time.
And I’m still not sure what we’re supposed to say half the time.”
Hazel scoffs and shakes her head. “We’re supposed to say what the
administration wants us to say.”
The lettuce of her salad tastes bitter the longer she thinks about what her
employers did.
