I was lead into a room with a lot of chairs by a man, who looked like a guard. He gestured for me to sit down and wait. I did as told. I was really nervous and started tugging on my shirt. I had no idea what to do now, I was on my own. Lincoln really disappointed me.

About 10 minutes later, the woman who checked us before, walked in but without a suit. She had really dark hair and smiled at me. I didn't smile back though, I felt uncomfortable. I followed every move she made.

She walked to a door and opened it then gestured for me to go in. I hesitated but somehow I managed to stand up and walk into the other room. It looked like an office and I saw a desk with two chairs, on each side of the desk one. The woman sat down on one of the chairs. She didn't stop smiling once. I stood awkwardly at the door.

"Have a seat.", She told me. I did as told. "What's your name?"

"Aaliyah.", I replied. I looked around the room.

"What were you doing in the tunnels, Aaliyah?", She asked me like she had known me for years.

"Uhm... Uh- Just- you know, yeah.", I ranted. She lifted one of her eyebrows up but didn't question further about it.

"Where are you from?", She asked me. I opened my mouth but then closed it again. Saying I was a part of Skaikru seemed like a really bad idea. But I couldn't say I was a Grounder either, 'cause I didn't look like one. She examined me. "No burn wounds." She whispered, almost fascinated.

I looked down at my hands.

"You're from space, aren't you?", She asked me making me look up instantly. I opened my mouth, waiting for words to come out but they didn't. I looked behind me seeing the door. I looked back at the woman who was waiting for me to reply. I freaked out inside and decided I should run. Maybe I would find a place to hide. I shoved the chair I was sitting on aside and ran towards the door. I heard the woman call for me but I didn't stop. I kept running.

I ran downstairs and opened doors and ran downstairs again. I think I was at the lowest level now and kept running but was stopped by two guards who grabbed my arms. I tried to get out of their grip but it was no use. The woman walked in front of me with now a man beside her. I stopped fighting and looked at them.

"She knows.", The man said. "Tell me, little girl, do all your people know what we're doing here? Did Clarke tell them?" I didn't reply and the next second I felt a burning feeling on my cheek. The man had hit me. The man whispered something to the woman and she nodded. She signed the guards something but I didn't know what. They walked away with me whilst I struggled against their grip.

I was brought into a room with a doctors table and cages. I saw Harper and Monty in those cages. I looked at them in disbelief, they looked so bad. The man locked me up in the cage next to Monty and they walked out of the room. Harper and Monty looked at me.

"Aaliyah?", Monty asked me. I nodded. "What are you doing here?"

"Bellamy and I had a plan to get all of you out of here, but Lincoln messed up. I don't know what they're gonna do with Bellamy. What if they kill him?", I told them. They both stayed silent. "What have they done to you?"

"They are taking our bone marrow. Apparently that's the way of surviving earth. But it'll kill us all.", Monty said.

Currently, Harper was laying on the doctors table. She was tied down so she couldn't move. The doctor grabbed a little but sharp knife to cut Harper.

"Please, stop. She's too weak.", Monty tried. The man handed the doctor a drill.

"Don't. Not again.", Harper muttered. I was scared to watch. This was gonna happen to everyone here in Mount Weather, all my friends. Monty started shaking his cage and screaming they had to stop but it was no use. The doctor brought the drill to Harpers leg and then drilled. Harpers screams were horrible. Right then I saw people walking in and the doctor immediately stopped.

"Mr. President.", The doctor said.

"Put that down.", The old man demanded. I saw two guards with them, and Jasper? "Get away from that girl."

"Jasper!", Monty yelled and Jasper walked up to us.

"Aaliyah?", He asked. He wanted to open my cage but I stopped him.

"Let Monty out first.", I told him and he nodded. A guard walked over to our cages and opened Monty's, then mine. Jasper wrapped Monty in a hug and it was so good to see them again. He then helped me out of the cage and hugged me tightly.

"How?", He asked me.

"I'll explain later.", I told him and he nodded.

"The ground is our birthright.", The woman told the older guy. "You can't keep us from that."

"Watch me. Lock her up. Go back to the room and tell your friends to pack their things. You're going home.", The old guy said and I was thankful for him. But how was I going to find Bellamy?

"Thank you.", Jasper said. I was so glad when we walked out of the scary room.

-

"Alright, listen up. There's gonna be questions, but there's no time.", Jasper started. When we had arrived in the room everyone asked me how I got here. "We're getting out of here. So pack your stuff."

"What are you talking about?", Fox asked.

"They're letting us go?", Miller asked with a smile. It was good to see them all again.

"Yes. Right now, before they change their minds.", Jasper warned them.

"Jasper, what the hell's going on?", Fox asked worried.

"They lied to all of you the whole time, about everything. The Ark is on the ground, and no one is safe here. Now, do what he says.", I explained them.

"Glad you're back, little leader.", Miller said and smiled. I wrapped him in a hug and then told him to pack his stuff.

-

Everyone was packing their stuff when suddenly I heard an alarm rang. The doors of the dorm closed and I immediately ran up to them. I saw Bellamy in a guard's uniform giving me a nod. He was still alive.

Sorry for this bad chapter but nothing really happened in this one so yeah:)
