LIBERTY'S P.O.V

I open my eyes, smoke is everywhere. I'm alive. I look down to see a crying baby in my arms. I sigh in relief that were both alive. I find the lever and hesitate for a second. What if the air is toxic?  What if there is nothing here? I know if I don't open the door that we would die in here. I close my eyes and open the door. When nothing happens I open my eyes and take a deep breath. I grab the radio and my clothes and step out. I am free. Now we need to survive.

2 months later........
Hey sweetheart! how is my little fighter! I pick him up. It's been hard taking care of him. I've been thinking about giving him to the survivors here. They know I'm here and they have been watching me. I can sense them. I know that this child will be safer there and better protected. So that's where he shall be. I put the baby in a homemade basket with blankets. It's hard letting go but I have a feeling that he will be ok. It's dark, I've actually found a village, all I have to do is set him outside. the gate. I grab my notebook and write a letter.

Take care of him, I know I can't. If he ever
  ask about me tell him I was not his mother.
  We came from the sky. I escaped with him.
They were done using me so when he was born,
  they took him and started experimenting on him
  I didn't want what they did to me to happen to him
They tortured me until I couldn't fill pain. He doesn't deserve it. 
Take care of my boy. One of the things they injected him with will make him stop aging at 18. That's all I know, just like me. Thank you...

I put the note in the basket and walked to the gate. I put him down and blew my whistle. I turned around and jumped in a tree. I watched as some scouts came out with spears. I watched as they looked down at the crying baby. An African-American lady came to the front of the group and picked up the child. Fall back! false alarm! She picks up the basket and into the village.
