I did my best to keep Wells off his foot but he wouldn't listen. He stands up off the rock and walks away. "Wells..Wells!" I say trying to get his attention but he doesn't look back. I sigh and rub the back of my neck while tilting my head up and closing my eyes. I take a deep breath, breathing in the fresh air. It felt amazing on earth. The hot sun and the cold breeze danced perfectly together.
   I slowly lowered my head and started walking in the direction of Wells. Instead I see Murphy and one of the other guys who held me back. I look over at the ark. 'First son, First to dye' The hell. Murphy turns around and looks at me and so does the other guy. Murphy smiles at me. "Hey Petra." He says. I scuff the push between his and the guy. "Go float yourself Murphy!" I say. While walking away Bellamy walks in my direction. I ignore him as he walks past me and too Murphy. I finally caught up to Wells. We walked around and picked up stick for a fire later tonight.

Hours later:

   It was getting dark and we decided to head back to camp. We got back to the ark and everyone was huddled around the fire but not in a normal way. They were all looking at something or someone. Then they all started to cheer. Me and Wells pushed through the crowd. There Bellamy, Murphy, and a few other guys were and they were taking people's wristbands off. "Who's next?" Bellamy asked while looking around at everyone. I stepped forward. "What the hell are you doing?" I ask Bellamy. We and Wells look around. A few guys go to take a step towards us but are stopped be Bellamy. "We're liberating ourselves." Bellamy answers. "What does it look like?" He continues. "Looks like you're trying to get everyone killed!" I say back. I take a step towards Bellamy not breaking eye contact.
   Wells grabs my lower arm and gestures for my to stay by his side. "The communication system is dead. These wristbands are all we got. Take them off, and the ark will think we're dying, That it's not safe for them to follow." Wells announces. Bellamy looks away with a smirk on his face. "That's the point, Chancellor." He says. Some people laugh. I look back at him and he locks eye contact with me. "We can take care of ourselves, Can't we?" He says while still looking at me. As if he was only saying that towards me. Everyone except for me, Wells, and Bellamy yells 'Yeah!'. I pull my arm away from Wells and take another step towards Bellamy. "You think this is a game?" I ask him. "Those aren't just our friends and our family up there. They're our farmers, our doctors, our engineers." I say to the crowd. Bellamy looks at them a little annoyed by my words. "I don't care what he tells you. We won't survive here on our own.." I continued.
   I turn and look back at Bellamy. "And besides, if it really is safe, How could you not want the rest of our people to come down?" Wells ask. "My people are already are down. Those people locked my people up. Those people killed my mother for the crime of having a second child." Bellamy says while walking towards Wells. I step between them. He looks at me then back at Wells. "Your father did that.." he continues. "His father didn't write the laws." I say to him calmly. "No. He enforced them, but not anymore, Not here. Here, there are no laws." He says.
   People start to agree. "Here, we do whatever the hell we want whenever the hell we want." He continues. "Now, you don't have to like it. You can even try to stop it or change it, kill me." He says in a serious tone. This took me off guard and everyone else too. "You know why? Whatever the hell we want." Bellamy finishes. Murphy starts to chant. "Whatever the hell we want!" And soon everyone joins in. I look around then back at Bellamy. "You're going to regret this, we might not need a chancellor but we need rules, because without rules comes chaos." I say he looks at me knowing what I'm saying might have some truth.
   Suddenly it starts to rain and thunder. Everyone starts to cheer in celebration and tries to catch the water in there mouths. "We need to collect this." Wells says to me and Bellamy. Bellamy smiles at him. "Whatever the hell you want." He says and backs away to join the people. Me and Wells look at each other then walk to the ark to try and find something to catch the water.
   We find some Buckley and set them up. We sit under the drop ship to keep an eye on the bucket to make sure no idiot tries something. After about an hour the rain stopped and people started to fall asleep. Wells tried to stay up so I wouldn't be up alone. "It's fine Wells. Just get some rest you need to let your ankle heal anyway." I smile at him and he nods. I stand up and leave the drop ship. I grab the two buckets and walk them over to the fire. I sit on the ground next to it and let the water boil. I kept an eye on Wells at the same time. These people really hate him. But I guess I can see why. They blame him for his fathers actions because down here he is the closest thing to his father.
   After a few minutes Murphy walks over to the fire and next to me. He crouches down and holds his hands up. I role my eyes and look back at Wells. "So you found buckets?" Murphy says in a whisper. I sigh and look at the fire. "Yup, because it seems I'm the only smart person around here." I reply in a sassy tone. Murphy chuckles. "We'll it was raining and everyone was excited." He adds. I scuff and look over at him. "Do you know when it will rain again?" I ask. He looks at me confused. "Exactly, if we're lucky it could rain tomorrow or it could rain in five days or twelve." I say and look back at the fire. Murphy stands up and looks around. "Wow you know the perfect thing to kill the mood." He says and walks away in a random direction. I sigh and look over to Wells but he is gone. I stand up and look around. "Crap!" I say and look around for Murphy or Bellamy. They are both gone. I run in the direction that Murphy left in.
   After about five minutes of running there is a big open area and I see Wells being pined down by Murphy and a few other guys and Bellamy is standing watching. "WELLS!" I yell and run in his direction. Bellamy turn around and grabs me by my waist holding me away from Wells. "Let go you bastard!" I yell at Bellamy while still trying to get free. "They aren't hurting him just taking his wristband." Bellamy says but all I can here is Wells yelling. "Stop it!" I yell. Bellamy sighs and hits me in the back of the head with the gun. Everything went black.
