Clarke
"Guys I'm going to see my mother, bye." I say and walk out the door, when I reach my house I open the door slightly and hear my mother speaking to.. Kane. "Marcus the Ark is dying, we need to tell everybody!" The Ark is dying?! What! "No Abby, it needs to stay privet." He argues, how can he say that? Thousands of people will die. I storm in the house and walk straight up to Kane, "how can you say it needs to stay privet?!" He gives my mother a look and then walks past me, "you know what's right Abby, but think about all the riots we'll have if the truth comes out.." He leaves the house and my mother sits on the sofa, "we can't let this stay a secret!" I protest and my mother agrees. "I have a plan." She tells me, I text Bellamy to tell him I'm staying at my mothers for the night, then I sit on the sofa and let her explain.
"Okay so tonight, at 9:00PM we go to the video room, we put the video of you on all around the Ark, telling them it's dying." I say and she nods her head, "it's 7:50 now." I know this will end badly, my mother will be floated, but letting thousands of innocent people die was not an option. Me and my mother sit and watch TV, knowing this would probably be the last time we do this. I'm upset and confused but I'm hiding all my emotions, I can't let my mother back out of the plan because she thinks I can't cope.

8:58

My mother and I head to the video room, we have it all set up and about to press play when the guards come, bashing down the door, "Abby Griffin, Clarke Griffin, hold out you hands." They say as they arrest my mother and I and take us to cells.
"Abby Griffin you shall be floated in the morning."
I hear the words come out of Shumways mouth and I break down in tears, they're taking the only family I have left away from me. "Clarke Griffin you shall be held until you are 20 years old, then you shall face the retrial." Great, back to the skybox. I knew my mother would die, but hearing the words come from Shumways mouth made it all so real. I lay on the cot and try to sleep, I have no luck so I just sit and think about what's to come.

The next morning I watch as my mother gets sucked into the unknown, I then get dragged back to my old cell I had before the one with Octavia, all my old drawing were there, I had missed them, all the pictures of Earth, but seeing them again just makes all this reality . My cell door opens and Bellamy and Octavia come in, "we have 10 minuets visiting time." Bellamy says and I hug them both, I've been crying loads, I have no father and no mother, I'm alone.
"What did you even do Clarke?" Bellamy questions. I'm not going to drag him into this as well, not after what happened to my mother. "Nothing, I can't say, if I do you could get floated too." He nods his head in agreement.
"Clarke this is the last time you'll see us.." Octavia says and I cry even harder, the cell I've been put in means I get no visiting hours, I really am all alone. I hug them both as tightly as possible.
"May we meet again." I say in between cry's, "May we meet again." They both say back before leaving the cell.

2 years later

I wake up on the same cot I've slept on for the past two years, I miss Bellamy and Octavia, all I want to do is break out of here and see them, see them one last time before I'm reunited with my parents. In two months it's my birthday, my birthday and my last day on the Ark.

I'm taken out of thought when my cell door opens, two guards come in, both well built and they look angry.. "
Face the wall prisoner 319!" I do as I'm told, I don't want to repeat what happened two years ago.. Not again.
I feel spikes all over my left wrist but I hide the pain, the guards escort me out of my cell, every other prisoner is being brought out of their cells. "They're killing us to make more time for themselves." I thought out loud.
I'm not dying today.. Not without getting my information about the Ark out. I hit one of the guards and use his taser thing against him, I run as fast as I can until I hear someone call out my name, Kane. I run to him, he'd been like an uncle to me before I got locked up.
"What are they doing to us?" He hugs me and replies, "you're going to the ground, all 100 of you." Before I can say anything else I feel a spike in my neck then it all goes back.

I wake up on a dropship. I look around and find Jasper and Monty, "Jasper, Monty!" I cal out and they see me, "Clarke!" They call, I'm distracted by Finn, he's out of his seat and floating about, "Finn? How did you get here?" I hear people in the back ground, "space walkers at it again!" I stare at him with confusion, "I went on an illegal space walk.." I nod my head to show I understand. Two boys follow Finn out of their seats and start floating about, "you need to sit down!" I scream, but they ignore me.

Octavia
I'm on the dropship to Earth, holding my seatbelt tight when I hear a female voice, "you need to sit down!" She says, it's Clarke, "Clarke!" I call out and she sees me, before she can react we hit the Earths atmosphere and everything starts to shake like crazy. After about five minuets we finally hit the ground, I take my seatbelt off and climb down the steps to see a tall, dark haired man at the front of the dropship holding the handle, it's Bellamy! "Bellamy!" I call out and I run into his arms, "Octavia!" He calls and hugs me tightly. When we release each other I see Clarke come down the steps, I then hear people talk, "she was hidden under the floorboards!" Before I could react I heard Clarke shout, "hey!" She walks up to the boy that said it and said, "watch your mouth or I'll give you something to shout about!" She said and he soon shut up, she made her way to the front and hugged me, she then hugged Bellamy. "Wow Clarke.. You've changed." Bellamy says and I smile, "isn't that Clarke Griffin! She got held in a maximum security cell! We still don't know why!" I hear a boy shout, "I hear she killed someone!" Clarke snapped and went to hit the boy that said it but Bellamy and I held her back, "let's give them something else to remember you two by" Bell said and opened the doors, he let Clarke and I walk out first, we jumped off the dropship ramp and I hugged Clarke, we both then shouted out, "WE'RE BACK BITCHES!" Everybody came running off the dropship after us, Bellamy, Clarke and I stood in a circle, "how did you two get arrested?! And Jasper and Monty?" Clarke asks and I explain, "Jasper and Monty were caught stealing from the Arks medical supplies, they needed a certain drug to add to one of their experiments. I got arrested because got into a fight with some girl. And I don't even know how Bellamy get here?" I say and we both turn to face Bellamy, "I uh I shot Jaha.." What? My brother.. Shot.. Someone! "It was the only way to get onto the dropship! I aimed for his leg so I know he's alive!" Clarke sighs in relief, she then hugs Bellamy and I do the same.
