On the Ark, there is little to being anything settled as fun. It was either work, learning, or sleeping.

Sky boxes full of reckless children making endless mistakes and some are unforgivable. On the Ark, there is one rule that must be followed. Only one child per couple.

Air was becoming limited and no one could risk having to waste air for an extra life. If you disobeyed any of the rules on the Ark, you would be floated with no question's asked. It was a very simple task to follow, but most could not.

Other's just enjoyed their life on the Ark with no trouble.

Other's wake for work, do their daily tasks, eat, then come back to their room to either sleep or tend to their child if the child isn't learning or working for themselves.

On the Ark, everyone must maintain a job. Each job had important tasks to keeping the Ark livable.

The earth had been dying for 97 year's and shouldn't be livable until another 100 years. But everything was changing this day.

There was small word that the 100 delinquent's in the sky box's would be put on a ship and sent down to earth. It was to see if life on earth could be livable again, and there was only one way to truly know for sure.

The delinquent's had no idea what was coming, all 99 of them but one specifically.

Her name was Isabelle. A girl who has never done wrong in her life. The girl who picks up a book and doesn't put it down until nightfall. She was strange, to others, because she didn't work.

But what most people on the Ark didn't know, was that Isabelle worked alongside Jaha with certain tasks he gives her daily or weekly.

Some were as simple as keeping track of other families by making sure there weren't more than one child per-family. Other requests were to make sure nobody was moving secretly to betray the chancellor.

She was his seer. To see things that he couldn't — it was his only job for her.

She keeps to herself almost always, her head up in the clouds as she dreamed of romance. Almost always distracted, she never cared for the people that whispered around her. To Isabelle, they were just like her.

A person, stuck in space trying to make a living. Her books kept her sane yet occupied. She would reread any book she had read already and sometimes even create her own. Her parent's admired her imagination and the thrill she gets from reading, although they have no clue where she got it from. Still, Isabelle was their entire world.

But sending Isabelle to earth wasn't their idea. To let their little girl go off with 99 other reckless kids practically all by herself? Not acceptable.

Although to Isabelle, this was just another task given by Jaha — this was an opportunity of life time that she's been dreaming of. New things to add to her own stories. She wanted to explore the life right below her feet.

Isabelle desired to see the earth and all the green that came with it. She expected to see beauty from every edges of the earth. Was she wrong?

"Isabelle! Jaha is requesting for you. Don't be late now, hurry."

Isabelle's pointer finger rubbed against the crisp edge of the paper in her hardcover book. The fabric surrounding the cover was torn at the edges with a few stains but the pages were unharmed.

Her brown eyes scanned the finishing sentence of a page until she slid from her bed, her boots hitting the cold Ark floor as she stood.

The guard seeking Isabelle disappeared and the door of their little square home closed shut behind him.
