Clarke POV
As I sat on the floor of my cell I look around my small sky box for another place to draw. All of my walls were full of drawings of memories, and dreams I ached to create my dream from the night before.  I can still smell the air it wasn't stale it was fresh and green it was beautiful. Images of bright eyes and dark hair flash in my minds eye but I could not recognise the eyes. Green it's all I know for sure they are so green. I began drawing the need to release the images in my head over took me almost without realizing. My floor was now covered in a beautiful earthly scene the trees everything was so foreign yet familiar. As I finish my drawing the skybox doors slide open and at the sight my heart stopped.
(Prisoner 319 against the wall)
I got up against the wall but then the guard pulled out a cuff. Wait what is this I say with as much authority as a prisoner can muster. The guard pulls out his taser stick. My confidence vanished I- I don't turn 18 for another month it's not my time.
(Take off the watch 319)
No I shout get away it was my fathers my fight or flight instincts kick in I refuse to go down so easily. I push and shove and use their taser against them. I make it out of my room to see all the delinquent prisoners being escorted out my panic went into over drive I was getting ready to run and die fighting. Then I heard the soothing voice only a mother has I look up Mom I say with a tremble to my lips and a crack in my voice. Mom there killing us to preserve oxygen for the rest of you aren't they?
(No, Clarke you aren't being killed your being sent to the ground all 100 of you.) My moms words register and panic hits just as hard as before No Mom it's it's not safe down there the radiation it's not survivable. ( Clarke, my daughter this gives you a chance to live if I'm right the earth is survivable this cuff will track all of your vitals this could save us all.) My mothers words made sense. I look at her with tears in my eyes this is it. (I love you Clarke so much. Your instincts will tell you to take care of everyone else before yourself just like your father but please don't I can't lose you to.) Just as I was about to reply a sharp stick and sudden drowsiness took over. Images of Earth and the color green were the last thoughts before the darkness.
