Chapter 6: The Crackdown

The days leading up to the discovery of their rebellion had been filled with a mix of hope and trepidation. Lily and Eva had worked tirelessly, gathering information, building alliances, and planning their escape. They had begun to see glimmers of a future where they were free from the Dairy Collective’s control, where they could reclaim their dignity and their humanity.

But their efforts had not gone unnoticed. The Dairy Collective, with its constant surveillance and ruthless efficiency, had caught wind of their plans. The crackdown was swift and brutal, aimed at squashing any hint of rebellion and maintaining the status quo.

One morning, as Lily and Eva were discussing their next steps in the quiet corner of the maternity ward, the door burst open. Overseers stormed in, their faces stern and unyielding. They grabbed Lily and Eva, their grips firm and unkind, and dragged them away from the other hucows.

Lily’s heart raced with fear and desperation as she was separated from Eva. She struggled, her pleas falling on deaf ears as the overseers led them to a separate area of the farm. The room was sterile and cold, the air filled with a sense of foreboding.
