     The sound of River's cell mate and best friend's voice was the only thing that kept her sane in this cold steel room. River was leaned up against the hard wall, staring ahead at Octavia.

     "Do you really think we're ever gonna get out of this hell hole?" Octavia asked as she looked around the empty room.

     River shrugged her shoulders. If she was being honest she didn't think so, but she wasn't gonna tell her that and get her hopes down.

     Octavia was like a little sister to River. Therefore she had an instinct to protect her. Much like her brother, Bellamy. River's best friend.

     River grew up in Factory Station, right next to the Blake's. Once, River was being picked on by a bunch of kids, when Bellamy stepped up and protected her. Even though they'd never spoken a word to one another. After that day you could say River had gotten a personal bodyguard. Or, that's at least what it felt like.

     They quickly became friends, and once when River was at a masquerade ball, Bellamy had brung a girl with him. Later on the same day, the girl got arrested. That's when River found out that it was Bellamy's sister.

     A few weeks later River got arrested for stealing medicine to cure an ill girl.

     "I don't know, Tavi" River responded in the same moment the door burst open. In came two guards, both accompanied by wristbands in their hands.

     "Face the wall" One of the guards demanded.

     River and Octavia shared a look before they obeyed, not wanting to get in trouble. Both of them winched as the guards attached the wristbands.

     "Ow, what the?" Octavia furrowed her eyebrows.

     Then, the guards pulled them out of the room. The sight that met the two shocked them. Almost every single cell was being emptied as guards pulled teenagers out of their cells.

     "What's going on?" River mumbled under her breath.

     "This way" A guard ordered River and Octavia. They followed after them and eventually reached a place where a bunch of other criminals were stood. All with an identical wristband on their wrists.
