Audrey stared down at the screen, pointing at the man. "This is who I'm supposed to kill?" She turned to shumway, raising her brow. He nodded his head as she hummed. "Easy work. So what's the plan?" She sighed as she passed him the screen back.

"You're going down to earth. You and 100 other kids." He told her as her eyes widened.

"No fucking way, you're lying!" Audrey shook her head as the man shook his head. "So is this Bellamy dude also being sent down?"

Shumway nodded his head. "Me and him made a deal. He kills jaha, he goes down. But if that plan fails and he doesn't go through with it- which he probably won't- you're gonna kill him."

Aubrey slowly nodded her head, taking in the information. "Okay, when do I go?" She asked him.

"Twenty minuets." He informed her as she breathed out.

"Do I get a gun?" She asked sheepishly. "I can't kill him with my bare hands, shum."

The man let out a deep sigh as he handed over a pistol and a couple of bullets, making her grin. "Get yourself ready, I'll come and get you. Act the part of a delinquent, blend in. Then when you get the opportunity, kill Bellamy blake." Shumway instructed as he left her home.

It didn't take Audrey long to gather her things: Her jacket, a few make shift knifes, and her gun. She had to play the part of a delinquent and she would do that. She would be a delinquent.

After fifteen minutes of getting herself ready, shumway did come and get her. The two had to quickly go towards the part of the ark where the drop shift was. When they did, they blended in with the crowd of delinquents. "Remember the plan." He told her.

"How long have we been partners for shum? You doubt me, that's wounds me deeply." She sarcastically frowned as he pushed her forward slightly, walking in between the other kids.

Aubrey took this opportunity to glance at the kids around her. Half of them were nervous, half we're scared, half were mad and half were happy. And she was one of the happy ones.

"Good luck." Shumway told her as he went and stood next to the other guards. Aubrey grinned as she faced the entrance of the drop ship, climbing in quickly and placing herself down on a seat, adjusting the gun in her waste belt.

She watched carefully as the other kids were placed down on seats, a guard walking in with a blonde girl in his arms. Aubrey guessed she was unconscious. Did they knock her out?

When all of the kids were thrown onto the drop ship, the doors shut. After a while, Audrey was jolted forward, signalling that they were doing to earth.

A flickering above her made her glance up to see Jaha's face on the screens. "Prisoners of The Ark, hear me now. You've been given a second chance, and as your Chancellor, it is my hope that you see this as not just a chance for you, but a chance for all of us, indeed for mankind itself. We have no idea what is waiting for you down there. If the odds of survival were better, we would've sent others. Frankly, we're sending you because your crimes have made you expendable." The man explained.

"Your dad is a dick, Wells." A kid yelled and Audrey rolled her eyes. She was going to have to put up with a bunch of teens under the age of 17. 

"If, however, you do survive, those crimes will be forgiven, your records wiped clean." Jaha said. "The drop site has been chosen carefully. Before the last war, Mount Weather was a military base built within a mountain. It was to be stocked with enough non-perishables to sustain 300 people for up to two years. No one ever made it there. Because we spare you no food, or water, or medicine, I cannot stress strongly enough, that Mount Weather is life." The man continued.

"Spacewalk bandit strikes again. Go, Finn! Check it out." A kid yelled and Audrey turned, seeing a kid floating around. People started to cheer as the boy did flips. Audrey slightly jumped, turning to the girl beside her, who stared to cheer for the boy named Finn.

Two other kids started to unstrap and fly out of their seats. "You must locate those supplies immediately." Jaha said, but Audrey wasn't really listening. "Your one responsibility is stay alive."

"What a joke." A girl beside Audrey scoffed, making Audrey turn to her, examining the brunette.

"Cant be that bad, right?" Audrey voiced, making the brunette girl turn to her with a smile.

"Yeah, I guess your right. Better than being locked under the floor for years." The brunette nodded her head.

"Oh wow, I didn't expect that." Audrey mumbled as the brunette nodded her head. "Well, you're going down to earth. No rules, no jaha, no floors to be locked under."

"You're right!" The girl gleamed. "I'm Octavia, by the way!" She introduced herself.

"Audrey." She smiled back kindly.

"I like you, I feel like we are going to be good friends." Octavia giggled slightly, making Audrey laugh. She head just a child.

"Yeah, I think we are Octavia." Audrey nodded her head, watching as octavias face lit up at her words.

The two looked up at the screen as it started to glitch out. Audrey frowned slightly until they were all thrown forward, making her hiss loudly, the seatbelt around her digging into her skin. She heard Octavia yelp also, as they were flung once again-Finn, who was once in the air, was thrown against the wall. "Finn!" She heard a feminine voice yell out.
