I was sitting on my rock of a bed, glaring intensely at the wall.

Then suddenly, two male guards walked into the gray cell I now live in. Or have lived in for the past three months.

"Prisoner 374, please stand up and face the wall," A man wearing a newer looking guards uniform told me.

"What? Why? I'm not even 18 yet! I have at least a few more days! Possibly weeks!" I replied frantically.

"More like hours," The guard standing in the doorway mumbled.

"Just stand up and face the wall please. I don't want to have to force you," The first guard said to me.

I stood slowly and went toward the wall opposite the door. Saying I was nervous was an understatement. I was freaking out. I mean wouldn't anyone if they were going to be sent into space to die-along with their unborn baby.

"Hold out your right arm for me please," He instructed me quietly.

I did as he said only because I was so nervous and also because he said please.

"Are you going to float me? Or should I say us?" I asked frightened.

"No not necessarily, but there is a small chance," He tried to cheer me up but failed miserably.

"What do you mean there is a small chance?" I asked nervous for my life and my babies.

"Well you will soon find out. Possibly."
He replied sticking a needle into my neck.

"Wha-... Wh-... W-... Wa-..." I mumbled soon falling into pure darkness.

I woke up very confused and in a new room. There were many people. More specifically, teenagers.

Me being me I started to get very worried. I guess it clear if you looked at me because the teenage boy next to me asked me if I was feeling alright.

"Yeah I guess you could say I am okay. You know because I have absolutely no clue where I am or who anyone here is," I complained.

"Oh, okay. Well I am Monty, and this idiot is Jasper." The boy, Monty informed me.

"Would you mind telling me where exactly we are?" I asked.

"We're in a dropship, being sent to the ground." Jasper said calmly almost excited.

"Wait! What?" I shouted to cause some people to look our way but honestly I could care less. I mean we are all practically be sent to our deaths!

"Woah! Calm down! We'll most likely be fine! I mean whats wrong with 100 criminals being sent to the ground for their deaths?" Monty asked jokingly.

"Just about everything," I mumbled.

After a while Jaha came on the screens spread through the room. He talked about how our crimes would be forgiven how we were in his words "expendable". I mean they aren't just going to let us walk around setting "bad" examples to everyone when they come down. Or if they come down.

Then people started shouting things like "Go Finn!" And "Spacewalker strikes again!"

I looked up and a boy wearing a hat was floating around toward a blonde and Wells. I only knew his name because he is Jaha's son, and everyone knows who Jaha is one way or another.
