Rebellion

*Shrill sounds of an alarm pierced the quiet and still dark room, drawing a groan from under the covers that a figure was so contently wrapped under. The ragged and lumpy blankets moved and protested heavily, sagging in defeat when an arm reached out and silenced the alarm. Sitting up, the half toned haired male yawned and stretched, pouting at the time.*

*He hated waking up this early for his shitty job in this crummy city barely making enough to live without having to look for an owner. That was one thing he was never going to do. His ears twitched and he shook his head as he got up from the bed and set to getting ready for work. It was some factory job that employed his kind, with hardly any pay though.*

*Grumbling softly, he pulled his clothes on and shoes on at the door before heading out, ruffling his hair and stroking the fur down on his tail before heading out. He found it hard to find work anywhere else, what with his full breed status and having come from a village of free hybrids of wild animals. People feared they could go feral at any minute, but it was untrue. His kind was treated harsher because of this and had stricter laws in place. He tugged at the collar around his neck, red tag to shoe his status and danger if he went feral.*

*When he got to work, he clocked in and pulled on the protective gear for work and started his shift. It was a recycling plant and he worked in the sorting area, sorting out the different types of containers and getting the mess all over him. He had dreams and aspirations, but he never thought he would end up like this, stuck in this life and unable to go back home. His village was assimilated into the city and left abandoned. At least he had friends at work that weren't afraid of him.*

Hey, Hanbin, we still going for drinks?

'Sure, just don't scare off any good looking guys this time.'

*Laughing at his friends words, he shook his head and smiled. The poor bird hybrid got scared after seeing his collar. He should have expected it, Petroica rodinogaster was usually a flighty type of hybrid.*

I promise I won't scare anyone off, but you know bird types are flighty and scare easily.

*Bae bit back the urge to say how much jiwon had helped him. After both hybrids were alseep Bae moved around packing last minute stuff and preparing all the food he knew he could carry for them. It was almost midnight by the time he was done and crawled into bed beside his mate.

Knowing he would only get a few hours sleep he wrapped his arms around jiwon after sending out a whispered prayer to his mother to protect them. He closed his eyes falling asleep instantly curled into his mate.*

*Jiwon stayed snuggled up to Bae after the elder came to bed. He slept peacefully, surprisingly, as his mind filled with anticipation for their escape. Bae's phone ringing woke him up with a groan a few hours later, making him frown and snuggle up to his lover more as he hugged him close.*

Is it time to wake up and get ready?

*He questioned as he cracked opened his eyes and looked over his lover to the offending device. Jiwon had a feeling that after they leave, their phones would be of no use to them. He debates on leaving his own behind as his tail flicks beside him.*

*He would ask Bae, he doubted the villages had electricity or even service or internet there, luxuries they were used to here. He wouldn't be upset, it was like that in his old village, he would just have to get used to it again.*

*Bae groaned as his alarm went off, knowing they had to get up he reached over hitting the screen to turn it off. He placed a soft kiss on jiwon's lips as he opened his eyes.*

Morning babe, do you want to go ahead and shower and I'll wake up Hanbin before I join you.

*he yawned as he sat up and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. He got up off the bed stretching for a moment before leaving and heading to the extra bedroom. He knocked on the door to wake up Hanbin before opening it up.*

It's time to get ready, the guest bathroom is in there. We leave in 30 minutes

*he informed the boy before heading back to their room shedding his clothes before going into the master bath to join his mate.*

*Jiwon nodded with a groan as he got up and was ushered into the bathroom. He undressed and slipped into the shower as his friend woke up from the morning wake up call and did the same. When Bae slipped in with him, Jiwon turned and wrapped his arms around his mate, giving him a soft kiss.*

I'm going to miss some people here, but this is for the better. Should I leave my phone behind? I doubt we will have use for it where we're going.

*He said as he helped Bae shower since he was mostly finished. The last thing to pack was their toiletries, which they would grab on the way out of the shower. Things would be vastly different in their new life, but it was roots he wanted to reconnect with and felt strongly since he was forced to live in the city.*

You'll teach the cubs/pups how to hunt, yeah? I'm not sure how useful I'll be, but in the summer I might do alright. Do you know what the season is like there now? I wanna be prepared if I have to bundle up on the way.

*Bae returned the kiss happily as he let his mate help him wash. Knowing they didn't have time to fool around he kept his hands to himself.*

I would leave it honestly, I have a phone that will work to call the resistance if we need to.

*He was silent for a moment he didn't want to look to far into the future knowing nothing was guaranteed. However he couldn't bring himself to tell jiwon that.*

Yes i will love. I will hunt for us and teach our young all I can.

*he slipped a hand down resting it on jiwon's stomach.*

I'm sorry but I don't. Honestly where we are going I've never been, the resistance have asurred me it is safe though.

*Jiwon nodded before he moved to hug Bae again before giving him another soft kiss. He reluctantly pulled away and helped Bae finish washing. Reaching to the faucet, he turned the water off and stepped out of the shower.*

We should hurry, not much time left now.

*He said as he dried off and passed a towel to Bae. Jiwon was excited, anxious, scared and worried about everything, his emotions swirling around as he did his best to keep calm. He wasn't hungry, but he knew his mate had food for him as soon as he did get hungry.*

When we stop to stock up on a few things, I want to try and get some of those morning sickness lollipops. It's not too bad right now, but I know the further I am along in the pregnancy, it'll be worse.

I told Hanbin we were leaving in 30.

*Bae told his mate as he quickly dried himself up. He looked around it was bitter sweet leaving his apartment but he knew it was important to get them to safety. He finished drying himself heading out to get dressed. He pulled on a tshirt and a pair of jeans before grabbing an empty bag to take into the bathroom to finish packing.*

We will love, we are going to be in the car for a little bit then we will ditch it and meet up with the rest of the group.

*Jiwon pulled on his clothes and grabbed his pooh plush, leaving his phone to sit on the night stand. He took a good look at the room around him before grabbing his pack and taking it to the living room. Hanbin came out with his own pack and stood next to his contemplative friend, putting an arm around him.*

So it's really happening, huh?

Yeah... I don't know how I feel, I never thought I would see this day.

*He said softly as he looked around the apartment. It was his and Bae's space, their home. He knew it would only be temporary staying here, he was excited to make a real home with his mate and their offspring. Looking to his wrist to the ID bracelets, he took it off and tossed it to the coffee table. He had a collar on with his ID until they got out of the city, but he was ready to ditch that too. His friend was going to do the same, more than ready to leave this life behind.*

We can finally be free.

*Bae bit his lip slipping jiwon's phone and his own normal phone into the bottom of the bag. He knew they didn't need them but he decided to take them anyway. He knew at least with his phone there were a few pictures of his friends he wanted to keep. He zip the bag putting it over his shoulder before walking out of their room.*

Are you two ready to go?

*he asked grabbing his legs before heading to the fridge grabbing the picnic basket he had filled with food and drinks the night before. He took one last look around before heading for the door holding it open for his mate and new friend.*

*Jiwon nodded and smiled as he took Bae's free hand and Hanbin's as they stepped out of the apartment. He said goodbye to his old life again and held his head high as they left.*

Are they picking us up or will be meet them somewhere?

*He questioned as he looked around for any signs of anything going on. He could here a few people on the street, but it wasn't anything alarming. He hoped nothing would happen that night that would hinder their escape.*

Sounds like things are quiet for now. Let's hope it stays that way.

*Bae didn't answer until they got to the car he placed the picnic basket in the back seat before popping the trunk for the rest of their bags. Hey threw the one he was carrying into the trunk before looking at the younger two.*

We are going to drive for a bit it's safer to meet up outside the city since I'm with you two. We have to make it look like we are just taking a small day triP though.

*he helped them put their bags in before shutting the trunk. He moved around the car opening the backdoor and front door for the Two younger ones before getting into the drivers seat once they where Inside.*

*Jiwon nodded and climbed into the passenger side while Hanbin got into the back. He held onto his plush close and took in a deep breath, letting it out in a sigh
The car started up as he buckled in and looked over to his mate.*

I can't wait to get there. I know it will take a while to get there, but the journey will be exciting. Dangerous, I know, but I'm built to survive.

Unless it's cold, then you whine endlessly.

*Hanbin added with a laugh as Jiwon pouted and shot a flare back at him. He grinned to his friend, earning a reluctant smile back. Jiwon was happy that his friend was with them, too.*

He won't whine about the cold anymore he has a hot mate to keep him warm.

*Bae said with a smirk turning his head to wink to jiwon before turning his attention back to the road. On the outside he was calm but inside he was freaking out hoping they didn't get stopped by police or other hybrids.*

If you two want to get some more sleep feel free we won't be stopping for a few hours or if your hungry there is a variety of food in the basket next to Hanbin.

*he explained glancing in the rearview mirror to check on Hanbin as he drove.*

*Jiwon flushed as he looked up to Bae, wanting to say something, but also not wanting to distract the elder from driving. So instead, Jiwon leaned over and pressed a kiss to Bae's cheek.*

I have the best mate ever.

*Hanbin made a fake gagging sound in the back and got a flare from Jiwon, laughing at his friend. He got a smile in return, though, as Jiwon turned back forward. He wanted to stay awake as the elder drove, hoping to help keep him calm.*

In all seriousness, he really is the best mate for you. Maybe one day I'll find a guy and have something like you two do.

*Jiwon smiled and nodded, he knew one day the younger would find that special someone. Hanbin yawned and leaned against the door with his bag tucked against his head as a pillow and decided sleep was the best option.*

*Bae smiled at the friends antics they were making it feel like a road trip and not like they were running for their loves*

Just find someone who can understand child/young adult trauma.

*he said softly as he reached over taking jiwon's hand as he continued to drive. He drove in silence for awhile not wanting to wake up hanbin.*

How are you feeling loved?

*Jiwon held onto Bae's hand and thought for a moment. He wasn't exactly sure how he felt, his emotions were all jumbled up inside him. He sighed and squeezed the others hand before shrugging.*

I don't know, really. I feel a mix of everything. I brought the panphlets on my pregnancy to see what I should expect and all. At least that will be something to keep my mind off of things.

*He said as he held his plush close. Jiwon was determined to survive, he had a reason to now. He had an amazing mate and babies on the way. He wasn't sure how many, or what they would be, but he would love them regardless of their genus or how they looked.*

I wonder if your siblings will be happy for you, since you have young on the way and all. I feel like us getting out of the city was the best thing to do, especially for our babies.

It's been a crazy 24 hours love. Getting you and our babies to safety is what's keeping me going right now, when we get to the first safe house I might crash but you and Hanbin will be okay I promise you that.

*Bae gave the boy's hand a squeeze as he checked his mirrors to make sure they weren't being followed.*

If there are any left I hope they will be, I know mother is watching over us. I asked her to guide me and keep you and our pups safe.

*Bae didn't really care if he sounded crazy his mind was very spiritual anyway.*

I'll sleep when we get there, too.

*He said with a smile as he listened to what the elder had to say about his mother. Jiwon nodded, he felt that he had gotten this far in life because his parents were protecting him.*

I feel like the reason why you and I met were because my parents wanted me kept safe and were looking after me... like they knew I would be safe with you.

*He said as he held on to Bae's hand and leaned over to kiss him quickly. Snuggling into his seat, he pulled one of the panphlets out of his pocket and started to read it. His eyes were excellent at night so he had no trouble reading it.*

I like that thought

*Bae smiled at his mate relaxing in his seat as they left the town behind. An hour and a half later he yawned as he pulled up next to what appeared to be an abandoned house. He parked the car out of sight making sure it was hidden.*

This is the first safe house we can eat and rest inside.

*he said as he yawned again stretching as he got out of the car looking around to make sure everything is still safe.*

*Jiwon climbed out of the car as Hanbin yawned and stretched. He climbed out of the back and grabbed the basket of food before he followed them inside.*

So, do we need to keep watch, or are there people here that are part of the resistance?

*Hanbin asked quietly as they started to the house. Jiwon wasn't sure, but he had a feeling Hanbin slept in the car so he could be look out for them while he and Bae slept. Reaching out to Bae's hand, he held onto it as they stepped inside.*

Sleep sounds better to me, I can eat on the go in the car.

*Bae didn't answer just gave jiwon's hand a squeeze as he led them inside. He didn't flinch a bit as a woman stepped out and pointed a gun at them. He gestured to the other two to stay quiet as he took a step towards her.*

There is no need for that kind sister we are but three travelers seeking the light.

*She smiled at them as she lowered the gun gesturing for them to follow her.*

Those who seek the light are always welcome good brother. May you and your friends rest well in these old walls of mystery.

*She paused and hit a hidden switch on the wall opening up a secret room that was well furnished and comfortable.*

Thank you kind sister may the sun bless you!

*bae smiled at her before stepping in letting go of jiwon's hand as he slipped off his shoes before heading for the bed. He wondered how long it would take the boys to ask about the wired greeting as the door shut closed behind them once Hanbin and jiwon were inside.*

*Jiwon was confused, but kept his mouth shut ad they were led inside. Hanbin seemed pretty confused as well, and when they got inside and slipped their shoes off, he voiced his confusion.*

Kay, so... what was all of that?

Yeah, it was a little odd, but I figure it's some kind of code thing.

*Jiwon said as he moved to settle on a soft surface big enough for him and Bae as he held the plush close. He wondered how much Bae actually knew about the resistance and how much he was willing to tell him.*

Let's rest, love. Is it safe for us to take our collars off yet?

Yeah it's code, it's a way of telling her that we are hybrids seeking freedom without actually saying it.

*Bae let out a groan as he laid down on the nice soft bed he knew a lot but he wasn't willing to tell them too much it wasn't safe.*

Women who work for the resistance are kind sisters, the men are kind brothers, seeking the light means seeking freedom, may the sun bless you is my calling so she knows I am your guide.

*he turned his head to jiwon nodding as he fought to keep his eyes open.*

Yes love you may take them off there is a slot in the wall where you can stick them. Our kind sister will destroy them for us.

*Jiwon took his collar off and passed it to Hanbin who took his own off. The younger placed the collars in the slots Bae pointed out to them before he settled on looking through the picnic basket for a small meal.*

It's all really impressive. I wish I could help out somehow. I hate that I can't help anyone right now, I feel like I'm just a hindrance, so let me help where I can.

*Hanbin requested as he started to eat. Jiwon smiled as he wrapped his arms around Bae. His friend had a good heart and knew he was trustworthy. Pressing a kiss to Bae's head, he started to stroke his hair gently.*

You have helped a lot, you've helped me and if they let you, maybe they will let you help here. For now, let's rest up before we continue on our way.

Your not a hindrance Hanbin, you are already helping with your banter with jiwon. This is not the first time I've helped get people out it is easier if you have a friend you can joke about and forget the danger for a moment.

*he snuggled against his mate as he spoke his words getting softer as he fell asleep after wrapping his arms around jiwon. He knew they were safe for now but he would have to becareful as they continued he didn't want the resistance to think the path had been figured out by a human.*
