Being a Reyes was hard. Despite Raven and I only sharing half blood, people still knew that we were still sisters. Raven was the smart mechanic that can fix anything and I was the useless one that didn't quite get what life really was; But I accepted that mostly because I believed it.

I woke up with a guard standing next to me, demanding me to get up. Highly confused on why the guard was in the Skybox so early, I stared at the guard.

'Didn't I tell you to get up?' the guard shouted. 'I'm not telling you again.'

'I heard you the first time, sheesh' I sassed.

'Smart ass.'

'I get that a lot' I smirked.

As he shoved me out the door, another guard led me to an unknown place that I've never been before. Being a little afraid of what might happen to me, I panicked. 'I'm not 18 yet, so whatever you're thinking of d–'

'Shut up and keep walking.' the guard yelled at me as he pushed me.

As I prepared myself to be floated, I realized that I was being taken to an unknown ship. Before I can process what was going to happen to my life, the two guards shoved me into the ship.

'Careful!' I shouted as one of the guards glared at me and walked away.

'It's no use Y/N, they don't care about us' a familiar voice spoke. Knowing who it was the second I heard the voice, I turned to him. 'Finn!' I beamed as I hugged my best friend.

'Aye easy now. Let's save the chit chat for when we get to Earth. We don't want the guards t—'

'Earth?' I questioned him with my eyebrows raised up. I've never even imagined stepping my foot outside the Ark let alone a planet. Even though I always wondered what it was like on the ground a hundred years ago, I never pictured myself leaving the Skybox.

'My mom told me.' A blonde girl who sat next to Finn interrupted. 'Apparently they're doing this for an exchange to pardon us. I'm Clarke by the way.'

'Y/N. Y/N Reyes.' I smiled.

'Skywalker' someone yelled as I heard several laughter following the statement.

'Hell yeah, I'm a skywalker.' I turned around and saw that I recognized the boy who called me out. 'And what did you get arrested for again? Drugs? At least my crime was worth it.' I smirked as I made the boy's face turn red.

'At least my parents care about me' he scoffed.

Finn jumped in, knowing that my parents are a touchy subject for me. 'Easy.' he yelled. Before I opened my mouth to embarrass the kid again, Chancellor Jaha appeared on the monitor.

'Prisoners of The Ark, hear me now. You've been given a second chance...' Ignoring Jaha's speech about the crimes that we committed and the information about living on Earth, I fastened my harness on.

Even though I always put up with people who made fun of me for being the "dumb Reyes", I was very sensitive when it came to my parents. When my so-called father was with Raven's mom, he had an affair with my mother and left her. Funny story was that he got two women pregnant at the same time. Although my father was a douchebag, I will forever be thankful for creating the best sister I can ever ask for.

'Raven' I whispered to myself. I never had a chance to say goodbye to my sister.

Then it all happened so quickly. The ship was moving. Fast. I started screaming at the top of my lungs. 'We are definitely going to crash' I thought to myself. As I closed my eyes wishing that this terrifying fall was over, the ship stopped moving.
