The year was 2149 CE, 97 years after a nuclear apocalypse had devastated the surface of Earth. The only known survivors were the residents of twelve space stations in Earth's orbit prior to the war. The space stations banded together to form a single massive station named "The Ark", where about 2,400 people live today. Resources were scarce and all crimes no matter their nature or severity were punishable by death unless the perpetrator was under 18 years of age. The form of execution was being floated and it occurred exactly as it sounded. The perpetrator stood near the outer doors while it opened, being sucked into space. Any criminals under 18 were sent to a special place called the “Sky Box”. Their crimes were reviewed on their eighteenth birthday. One of two outcomes would occur: The juvenile was either forgiven or they were floated. After the Ark's life support systems were found to be critically failing, one hundred juvenile prisoners were declared "expendable" and sent to the surface in a last ditch attempt to determine if Earth was habitable again. They were told it should take another 100 years for the planet to be survivable. It might take another space-locked century before they could make their way back to the planet where it all began. With the Ark systems failing, they hardly had one hundred days remaining, much less one hundred years. Extreme action was taken and an order for this mission was given directly from Chancellor Thelonious Jaha, the elected leader of the Ark.
Among these one hundred juveniles was a twenty-three-year-old male named Bellamy Blake.
A young Bellamy Blake watched his mother give birth to his sister. His life had never been the same. The Ark enforced a strict one child law. Octavia, the name Bellamy gave to his sister, was his responsibility to keep safe and love. Since Octavia was an illegal second child, she had to be kept hidden in their room. As a Guard Cadet, he smuggled Octavia from their room to the Unity Day Masquerade Party. That was last year. During a solar flare alert, everyone was required to show identification: something Octavia did not have. She was exposed, their mother was executed, and Octavia was imprisoned in lock-up. Bellamy was kicked out of the Guard because of his actions and was demoted to the position of janitor. He was alone. Being unable to see his sister took a toll on Bellamy. Alone and isolated, life was miserable. Each day was spent cleaning up someone else’s mess. Janitors were the lowest of the low on the Ark. Conditions were miserable until Commander Shumway, the same man that called him out at the party, made Bellamy and offer he could not refuse. Kill the Chancellor Thelonious Jaha and Bellamy could go to Earth and protect Octavia. One hundred prisoners were being sent to the ground and his sister was among them.
The male had an olive complexion and thick, dark brown, curly hair and brown eyes. His body was lean and muscular, clearly physically strong. At twenty-three years-old, the next oldest human on the ship was five years his younger. The young man intended to take charge of the group as soon as they reached Earth. His personality was dominant, demanding, and controlling. Bellamy could be a prude sometimes. Plenty of people thought Bellamy was a complete jerk and asshole. They might not be incorrect.
No matter how gruff and tough Bellamy might act, his one weak spot was glaringly clear. Octavia meant the entire world to him and he only wanted the best for her. A softer side to Mr. Blake existed but only Octavia had seen it. Aggression also primarily characterized Bellamy. A natural leader that could make tough decisions, he might have been exactly what the one hundred delinquents needed to survive. His age automatically would present with him an advantage. Besides, living on the Earth was something that intrigued Bellamy as it did everyone else. He was escaping the Ark and protecting his sister.
Shumway provided Bellamy with the weapon and shot the Chancellor. Promptly, secret access to the drop ship was granted and Bellamy became a stowaway. Upon impact, Bellamy was jolted across the floor but survived with a mere scratch. He attempted to open the drop ship while a female voice rang out from the back.
“Don’t open that door! We don’t know if the air is toxic!”
“If that were true. We would have been dead by the time we hit the atmosphere.” Retorted the dark-haired male.
Almost prying the door open, another female voice spoke. This time, it was familiar and she called his name. After turning around, he saw his sister approaching. They reunited in front of everyone, hugging it out because they have not seen each other for over one year.
“Hey! Isn’t that Octavia Blake? The one they found under the floor?” A man in the middle of the group chided this question.
It angered Octavia and she tried to attack. Bellamy held her back and offered an alternative.
“Give them something else to remember you for. You can be the first human on the ground in over one hundred years.” Bellamy suggested, watching excitement bubble inside of Octavia.
The door was pulled open and the delinquents experienced their first breath of fresh air. Not dead yet. Solely wanting Octavia to be first, Bellamy used his muscular build to block the entrance from everyone else.
“Hey, back the fuck up. Octavia is first.”
A hesitant Octavia jumped onto the ground and smiled when her feet landed. Throwing her fists into the air with excitement, the girl shouted.
“We’re back… Bitches!”
Promptly, the rest of the group smiled, shouted, and cheered as they raced out of the drop ship to explore the new world. After taking in the scene around the ship, Bellamy draped one arm over Octavia’s shoulder and started smiling. They were reunited and humans have returned home. Earth appeared survivable so far.
