(A/n Main Chararter was the Sanguis Experiment, now is named Izzy. I will be calling John Murphy, John, most of the time. But I might call him Murphy, they are the same person.)

(Izzy POV)I'm wandering around camp, when I see John and another guy trying to break off a piece of metal off the cell. "Why are you trying to break the cell?" I ask. The two boys turn to me, "You mean the dropship, were making weapons, to hunt, defend ourselves." John answers. Hitting a rock against a loose piece of metal, I focus on the metal, it falling to the ground, "Defend ourselves from what?" I question. "All of us are criminals, some more dangerous then others. Stick with us girl, and you will be safe." the boy next to John lets out. "My names not girl, its Izzy." I blurt out, walking away. John runs up in front of me, stopping me, "Hey ignore him. Anyone with a lock on her buckle can probably take care of themselves." John compliments. I smirk, "Thanks." "Why were you hanging around the Chancelors son, his dad is the reason why most of us are here?" John asks. I frown "I don't judge people by their parents, since I never knew mine. Plus, I spent most of my time locked up, I didn't know much ,but doctors, saw the chancler once or twice, but Wells was my only real friend for a short time." I confess. John nods, "Now your out, you can make new friends." John points out. "Like you?" I ask exicted, "Yay, sure." John chuckles, I smirk. "See you later, friend." I murmer, walking away. I go further out, away from the dropship, looking around at all the plants, trees and sky. I decide to lie down and just enjoy the view. The blue sky is filled with puffs of white smoke, the smoke making different shapes all over the sky. I look around, making sure no one is around, I break off a plant bit and hold it in my hand. Taking a deep breath, it floats into the air above my head, breaking apart, floating around like a circle of stars. I smirk, for once in a long time enjoying my powers. I have what the doctors call 'Telekinesis'. I can make things move without touching them, had it since I was little the doctors say. That's why I was locked up all the time, why doctors tested on me, why I never knew kids my age, why they constantly sedated me. I don't have full control of my powers, but it's better than it was. I used to hurt the doctors when I got angry, use to break a lot of stuff. Now I just have to focus on things I want to move. "Your getting better." I hear, I shoot up, dropping the plant, looking over to see Wells. "Most of the time it comes easy now. But I still loose control sometimes." I admit. "Sometimes, not all the time. You want to help me with collecting firewood?" Wells asks. I nod standing up. As we make our way back to camp, picking up wood as we go, Wells answers my questions, whats wood for one. Wells lets me know that blondie is actually named Clarke Griffin, the friend he came down to earth came for. Mount Weather, where Clarke, Monty, Jasper and the others went looking for, is a like a ark on the ground that has a lot of food, or should. "So if we can live on the ground, can other things too, like animals?" I ask, "Yay, depending on what survived, what is still around." Wells answers, picking up more wood. I see John and that other kid walking over to us. "Find any water yet?" John asks. "No not yet. I'm going back out if tou want to come" Wells says, looking toward the dropship, I look over too, seeing scribbles on the side of it. I never learned to read. "You know my father, he begged for mercy when your father floated him." John snarls. "What you mean float?" I ask. "It means to execute or kill someone for the crimes they committed." Wells answers. "Crime, yay, getting me medicine when I was a sick kid is really bad crime." John spits. "Your dad killed his dad for that?" I ask, "Oh, you really don't know anything about Jaha family, maybe you should be more careful who you make friends with." the boy next to John says. "You spelled die wrong, geniuses." Wells says walking away. "Wells." I call, but he keeps walking. I walk up to John asking "What does that say?" John looks at me "You can't read?" he asks, I shake my head no. "It says 'First son, first to die'." the other boy says. "If you're going to kill someone its probably best not to announce it." The boy with the guards uniform says walking up to us. "You're not really a member of the guard are you?" John asks, "No, the real guard will be down soon if we don't stop it. You don't actually think they'll forgive you're crimes do you. Even if they do, then what, guys like us, are going to become model citizens, get jobs If anything, we will be picking up their trash?" Bellamy asks "You got a point? The boy asks. "No I got a question, they locked you up, dumped you down here like lab rats to die. So why you helping them?" The fake guard asks."Were not." the boy says. "Your wearing those wrists bands aren't you? Right now they're telling the ark weather its safe or not to follow us down." the fake guard says. I glance at the bit of metal on my wrist. "Okay you said we can stop it, how?" John questions. "Take the wrist bands off, ark thinks were dead, they wont want to follow, you follow?" fake guard asks, "Okay, and whats in it for us?" John asks. Fake guard grins evil like, the doctors would grin like that when they had a new test for my powers, not a good thing. "Someone has to help me run things." Fake guard says, walking away, John and his friend walk behind him, me slowly following. I find out that the fake guard's name is Bellamy, John's friend is John too, so to tell the difference I call him M, with his last name being Mbege. Night comes over the sky, while the boys take peoples wristbands off. I'm lieing down just looking at the stars. I feel something wet drop on me, I wipe it off my face, when water starts falling from the sky. I get up running back to camp looking for anyone I know. I spot Bellamy, "Bellamy." I shout over the yelling and hooting of the others. I run over to Bellamy, trying to cover myself from the water. "What is this?" I ask, "Its called Rain, water that comes from the sky. Its okay, its safe" Bellamy chuckles, pulling my hands down, I pull my hands away, not use to human contact. "Rain." I say looking up, squinting as the water falls on my face. "Feels good right?" Bellamy asks. "Yay." I laugh, spinning in the rain. I collide with John, with Bee next to him, "Dizzy yet?" John asks. "A little, this is awesome." I say. John looks at my wrist band, "Haven't taken off your wristband yet." Bee says. "I just havent thought about it M." I admit. "Why do you call me M, we call John Murphy Murphy?" Bee asks. "Because I met JOHN first." I state. Bee walks away. "You should really take that wristband off, what do you have someone you care about on the ark?" John asks. "No, but..." "But nothing, if you have no reason for the ark to come down, and you dont want to be locked up again, you should be free from those idiots. Really free, break the chains of your old life, your on the ground, your free." John proclaims. I look back down at the wristband, thinking of the years of darkness and torture the ark put me through. All so they could gain information about what I was, like I was mindless creature with no emotion, or mind of my own. I feel the wristband fall off my wrist, it stinging as it comes off. I hold my wrist, rubbing it, smiling at John. "What happened?" he asks, probably wondering how the wristband came off. "I broke my chains." I proclaim.
