Prologue
It's been 150 years since the earth we have known was destroyed during a war between humans and aliens. A colony of 800 people have been hidden underground in a bunker unknown of the world above. We are the last surviving bunker that we know of and because of that we have built up, a new society of 6 sections and one ruler. Each section has its own assigned jobs. Section one is government work, speakers for the government, and record keepers. Section two is electricians, plumbing, engineers, and repairs. Section three is teachers and inventors. Section four are garbage collectors and firefighters. Section five are seamstresses, transporters and inventory where all the supplies are stored. The last section is six which is medical, manufacturers, weapons, agriculture, guards, blacksmiths and the rarest kept secret job of all the scientists. Only a few jobs allow you to travel to other sections but besides that everyone is separated and spend their lives working. The people are highly controlled by the single party leader. But We must learn to live in peace and work hard for we are all that's left of what we know of the human race.April 2171
I'm sitting in my cell carving my zodiac sign over and over on the wall along side my name Luna. I whisper over and over to myself "they can't erase me" I say this so many times it's engraved into my head. My cell is completely white and stresses me because there's no color. Its quiet around me and i'm left with only my thoughts. My cell door abruptly opens and three men stride in and grab me. I start screaming knowing what's about to happen. I try and fight them off but they over power me and drag me towards the bed pressed against the wall.
"Enough drawing on the wall or we will make you fix it again" one of them tells me as they hold me onto the bed and tie my arms and legs down to prevent me from moving.
"STOP!!" I scream as I struggle against the restraints.
"Nurse bring Luna her medicine"
"NO" i say as the nurse comes into the room and injects my arm with sleeping serum. I continue to fight till I can't feel my body anymore and I close my eyes and fall into a deep sleep.

I sit at my kitchen table next to my younger brother Apollo. My mother is making us oatmeal which we eat everyday and my father is reading the daily paper. Our kitchen is painted a light orange to brighten up the darkness of the bunker. The city is quiet as everyone waits for the announcement that we may leave our homes and make our way to school or work. My father's jaw is clenched tightly as he reads the front page of the paper.
"God this is bullshit. There lying about everything" my father states flipping the page"Sweetie can we not talk about this first thing in the morning" my mother begs him and he closes the paper and takes a sip of his coffee
"Little Luna how's your course work going?"
"Dad can you stop calling me little Luna I'm 14"
"I will always call you little Luna because your my little girl"
"Whatever. Course work is boring"
"You need to study so they can assign you your job next month" he reminds me
"I know. I'm hoping I can work in the hospital or at the green houses"
"Remember you might not get your dream job. Apollo what are you interested in?" my father looks towards my 12 year old brother. His hair is dark brown just like his eyes and falls just above his shoulders. It's shorter than most boys his age have it. Long hair is kept in the bunker and the older men start to grow facial hair while the youth shave. I never minded my long hair since it was always cut short as a child. My mother wanted to be different but i wanted long beautiful hair so i could braid it.
