PART 1

McAllan Wills, seventeen, thought of everything that had happened prior to his incarceration as he sat in his cell, staring at the walls that had surrounded him for almost two years. The thought of what he did, why he did it, and came to the conclusion that... it was worth it.

As he stared at the walls, his cell door opened and two guards ran in. They grabbed him and dragged him out of the cell. McAllan struggled and resisted against their hold but the men were too strong.

"What's going on?" McAllan asked as he struggled to get himself free. He looked around frantically, only to see that the same thing was happening with other prisoners. They were being dragged out of their cells. But why? "You're going to the Ground," the guard said before he injected the teenager with a clear liquid. McAllan processed what the man said and was about to speak when the liquid kicked in. He was unconscious.

But before we go any further, we must go back. Back to how everything began...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Her heart raced as she tried to think of a plan. They were coming... She didn't have much time. She looked around frantically before the door opened. She held her breath in fear for a moment before she realized it was her son. She sighed in relief as her eight year old boy walked over to her, his eyebrows furrowed in question.

"What's wrong?" Her son asked.

A tear slipped down the worried mothers' cheek as she sighed, "remember what we talked about?" She asked, shakily.

The young boy nodded, "Are they gonna take him?" He asked, sadly glancing at the baby, bundled up in blankets that the mother held. She couldn't answer. She didn't want to answer, but just because she didn't say it aloud, didn't mean that she didn't know. She knew very well what would happen.

The door swung open, revealing three guards in the door way. They guards rushed in, toward the mother and her two sons.

"No!" The mother cried, "please, I'm begging you! Don't take my baby!" Tears streamed down her face as the guards approached. "You knew the rules," one of the guards spoke in a cold voice as he approached.

"Please!" The mother begged, "please, don't!" The eight year old watched in shock. He sat next to his crying mother and his little brother who was sleeping.

"Please, don't take him!" The boy begged the guard.

The commotion in the room continued before the boy stood up.

"... Please, don't take him... You can take me instead... I promise I'll behave..." The boy offered, having no idea where they'd take him. All he knew was that he didn't want his little brother or his mommy to be sad.

"McAllan, no!" The mother cried as she held her younger son in the blankets.

The guards exchanged a look before looking at the other boy and the mother, "Ma'am, it's one or the other," they said.

Her heart dropped. She couldn't pick between her beautiful babies. She couldn't. She much rather have it be her.

"Mommy, please!" McAllan cried, "let me go!" "I can't..." The mother said as tears streamed down her face.

The eight year old looked up at the guards and begged them to take him with his eyes. The guards grew impatient. One picked up the eight year old and carried him out.

"No!" The mother yelled through her tears as she tried to stand, "McAllan! No! My baby..." She cried but the guard closed the door behind them.

She sobbed for hours, holding the sleeping baby in her hands. Her only son now. Her trembling lips kissed his forehead, as she cried silently.

"McAllan," she whispered, "Your name is McAllan," she decided aloud. As the sleeping baby shifted in her arms a bit. His hazel eyes opened and stared at his mother's crying eyes. He made a small noise as if to say something.

His eyes filled with wonder.

Innocence.

McAllan Wills was his name.

PART 2

McAllan skimmed through the file before realizing that it was the wrong one. The boy cursed under his breath as he shook his head slightly.

"McAllan," his mother said from behind him. McAllan froze before quickly slipping the stolen medical file under his pillow before walking over to his mother.

"Yeah?" He asked, as he walked over to her. He was fifteen now. No knowledge of anything other than the stupid Ark rules, school, friends and his mother. That's it.

"Do you know anything about the stolen file from Doctor Paige's office?" The mother asked as she crossed her arms. The boy remained serious and calm,
"No," he answered simply. He'd done this before. Taken books or files. Read them, then put them back without a trace.

"McAllan," she rose an eyebrow at him as if trying to get a yes. Before she could press any further, she coughed a few times. Harsh sounding coughs.

"Mom," McAllan said as worry began to fill him slowly. He stepped toward her and placed a hand on her shoulder and one on her back before guiding her to a seat. The mother sat down and composed herself.
"Are you okay?" McAllan asked, concerned. This had been happening a lot recently. She nodded before sighing and facing her son again, "did you take those files?" She asked.

She'd known that McAllan worried about her health. She'd known he'd taken little things before, so she had to ask.

"I didn't take it," He said, "Why would I do that?" He questioned. He must have looked serious because his mother let out a sigh and nodded.

"I had to ask. Doctor Paige is looking for them," she informed patting his shoulder gently and standing up, before walking out. McAllan let out a breath.
He was safe.
He turned back around and opened the file again. Now, he had to return it and get the right one.
