The 100 Reclassified

The Beginning

I was drawing peacefully of a dream, seeming more like a memory than anything else, when the doors swooshed open and I'm commanded to stand by the back wall. It could have been around 9 pm, we're usually "suppose to be" in bed by now so it took me by surprise when they started to handcuff me. I wasn't 18 yet; I still had a month left till my review.

I started to panic so I yelled and fought my way out before the handcuffs came on. I punched one guy in the nose and hit the other in the stomach to escape. It wasn't just me being evacuated; it was the whole hundred of us. I ran to get away when they started to come after me but I saw a familiar face.

One that looks extremely worried. It was my mother.

I tried to ask her what was going on but she cut me off saying I had nothing to worry about; she started to go blurry as I started to become sleepy. The cops shot me with some type of drug.

I remember faintly my mom saying I was going to the ground before I saw black. This couldn't be happening. The ground isn't safe, at least here I would have been reviewed, had a chance to live, now I will die for sure and people weren't going to know the truth about the ark.

Soon we will all be dead.

I was doing my usual routine of a semi workout in this small room when two cops came in telling me to face the back wall. I asked them what was going on but they didn't answer. As they led me out the room, I see everyone is in handcuffs being escorted by cops; I look to my right and see a blonde girl slowly falling to the ground as a needle is escaping her neck. One of the cops nose is bleeding, possibly broken, and I couldn't understand why she would have hit him to begin with.

We are lead to this big room that I never knew existed. We were all given this silver bracelet; it had these needles in them that pricked us when it was put on. The doctor gave me the okay and went on to check the others.

The blonde girl was in a gurney still asleep when they put hers on. I couldn't help but admire how cute she looked while she was sleeping. I had Clarke in my Earth Skills class and would admire her since she sat across from me. We would exchange glances and I think the teacher caught on because he partnered us up on our project about salvaging things we needed if we were ever stranded.

We were partners for a day before I got locked up.

I came back to reality when they started to lead us through a series of hallways into a drop ship. The cops were directing us into different parts of the ship but one guard grabbed me by my arm and led me inside. He seemed familiar but I couldn't see his face, it was covered by a cap. He led me upstairs and stayed with us making sure everyone was buckled in. He stayed in there when they shut the doors and strapped in. Maybe more cops were downstairs to help protect us?

The ship deployed and that's when I saw the fear in everyone's face, I'd seen a couple of them in classes but never actually talked to them. The chancellor came on the screen giving us some bullshit speech on how "important" we are to the ark and the survival of our people.

Please.

You chose us because we're expendable under the eyes of "our people".

The ship started to shake and the lights were flashing, the chancellor was cut off and people started to scream, I was holding onto my belt making my knuckles white and holding my breathe. This was it, we're entered the atmosphere and are about to land on Earth, it was a hard landing but once we knew we were safe the cop undid his seat belt and went down the stairs, everyone did the same thing.
