"Hey C." I whisper walking into our cell where she had to stay. Charlotte is my little sister. I know, no one has siblings on the Ark, but I do. "Hi." She whispers back once I close the door. She was currently sitting at the table in our room drawing. "Whatcha drawing?" I ask sitting next to her. "Earth." She answers as she continues to draw. "We'll make it there one day Charlotte." I explain staying hopeful that maybe, just maybe we will. "Yeah." She whispers.

"I love you mom." I whisper as I hug her tightly. Today was the day she gets floated for having two kids. "I love you. You take care of yourself Elliana." She says pulling away. "Goodbye." I muster as she steps into the section where she would be floated. I can't wait any longer so I slowly walk out of the room. "May we meet again." I whisper squeezing my eyes shut and holding onto the necklace I wore that she gave me.

"Get your hands off of me!" I yell punching the guard. "Help!" I scream trying to run away. It was a room check and the guard closed the door behind him. That was the first sign that I knew I should've done something. When he walked over to me was the next sign. And then he put his hands on me. Frozen in place I involuntarily let him continue to touch me until he goes to take my shirt off. I snap out of the scared state and start fighting. "What's going on in here?" A guard yells busting into the room. "He-" "She attacked me when I checked the room Sir." The guard lies. "No- he he tried-" I stutter. "Miss, you're under arrest for assault in the first degree." The second guard explains pinning me against the wall. "I didn't do anything wrong." I explain as tears start to flow from my eyes.

"Prisoner three two four on the wall." The guard instructs when he bursts into my cell in the Sky Box. "You know, I'm really tired of you not using your manners." I state as I reluctantly stand up and get to the wall. "Hold your right arm out." He says as he grabs a silver metallic wristband. "No, no I'm not eighteen for another week." I say turning around and shaking my head. "Don't make us make you. Hold your right arm out." The guard says again as his coworker gets his weapon ready. He takes a step towards me as I back up more. The guard goes to strike me with the stick but I grab his arm and turn him around kicking the back of his knee making him fall to the knees. I grab the stick and hit the other guard with it and run out of the holding cell. When I get to the hall I look around and see a bunch of other prisoners being moved out of their cells. I turn to my door and see the two guards so I take off running again. I bump into someone and fall on the ground. "Marcus?" I ask looking up at him from the ground. I scramble to stand up and pull myself behind him. "Elliana." He says turning around and grabbing me by the shoulders. "What are they doing? What's happening? They're killing us all aren't they?" I ask starting to freak out. "No no. Elliana you're going to the ground." He explains. "But-" "Shh." He hushes pulling me in for a hug. I feel a needle go into my neck and pull away from Kane. "Why-" I whisper before falling into his arms as my vision fades.
