EDEN WAS PLAYING ON THE PLAYGROUND while her mother and aunt watched her.

"So far no devilish tendencies," comments Winter.

Celyste nods, "she's an angel."

"So, it's 2020," Winter said, "any news years revolutions?"

"Yeah," Celyste nods, "but I'm not telling."

"Fun, secrets from your own sister," Winter jokes.

Eden runs over with a flower, "Mommy look what I got for you!"

Celyste smiles, "that's beautiful, sweetheart," she took it.

Eden hugs her before grabbing Winter's hand, "can you push me on the swing?"

"Of course, sweetie," Winter smiles at her niece.

They all go to the swings pushing Eden on the swing.

That's when there was an alarm on the phone!

Celyste pulls out the phone as she saw something terrifying:

"No..." 

"What is it?" Winter went and looked too but her heart fell, "no, that's not true."

"It is," Eden says.

They both looked at her, "Eden, how do you know that?"

"I can feel it," Eden shrugs.

Winter shook her head, "we must go somewhere," she said.

"We have nowhere to go, Winter!" Celyste snaps at her older sister in fear.

Eden kept swinging as if nothing was wrong.

That's when the sirens began.

But then a bunch of black cars pulled up and two people in suits approached them!

"Who are you?" Winter asked stepping in front of her family.

"We're here for Celyste and Eden Beckett," the lady said, "they've been chosen to be prime candidates for the cooperative by the genetic makeup."

"To do what?" Celyste asked.

"Survive."

"Wait-" Celyste looked at Winter, "what about Winter?"

"She's not on the list," the man says sternly.

Celyste looked at her older sister and then Eden, "then we aren't going," she didn't care if it was selfish, "we stay as a family."

"We can't accept that."

Suddenly soldiers got out and grabbed Eden from the swing!

"Hey!" Celyste tried to stop them but Winter was the one to stop her! "Winter, what are you doing?!"
