They came to Earth over a thousand years ago, and provided us with everything we needed. They were our slaves, and we called them the Givers. They provided us with food, shelter, care. Anything we needed, completely free. But soon everyone was out of work, completely dependant on these aliens, growing into slobs. This was when the Givers started their 'invasion'. They started enforcing rules with their service. No staying out late, no drinking or smoking, no overeating, no reading, no criticizing the Givers... As the Givers became increasingly strict, earth turned into one giant prison. A prison where nobody could leave.
Then a group of us decided to rebel against the Givers, send the back to where they came from. We ran away and hid, far away from any life, hunting for food and plotting our revolution. Nobody dared to join us, only us five. 
Erick Meir, Kendall Kepler, Lionel Blueivy, Hollis Lorenzni and me. Anastasia Beaumont.
Together, we are the rebellion.
