I had grown up in The Church, lived on the Compound for years in relative peace, learning and growing. There were a lot of rules in The Church, all focused on sin; well, on not sinning. No lying, no stealing, no coveting, no murder, no sex with children. That last one was important. Because until I turned eighteen, everything was fine. I felt loved, safe, protected, happy, even. I loved sewing, loved gossiping, loved cooking. I loved so many things. And they were taken from me. Well, maybe not all the way, but the safety, security, and happiness, it vanished.
At eighteen you undergo a ceremony into adulthood. You’re re-baptized by the Prophet, Micah, and you are given a new name, a name that denotes your new role. I was given the name of Beth, the name of a servant. My parents congratulated me, as servants are seen as martyrs, as giving up themselves for the greater good. But my greater good was neglected. Always. I hadn’t even gotten out of the ceremony room before a boy I’d spent years with, Daniel, pulled me into a hallway and pushed me up against a wall.
