White walls, white clothes, white bandages, white everything. That is what I wake up to. I slowly stand up and walk to the single, white door with a glass window in my room. I hear the faint soft of foots steps in the hallway and then suddenly the face of an old man appears in the window. The man with a mostly bald head unlocks the door and opens it. "Hello," the man says with a scratchy, but bold voice. "Hi. Can you…" "Tell you where you are? You are in Mount Weather. And you are perfectly safe now. There are 49 of you here. You may see them once you have changed. Your clothes are on the bedside table with some… Other items you might want to
examine closely." I cautiously nodded an stepped back into my room. As the man had promised there was a change of clothes, a hair tie, a hair brush, my fathers watch, and… a positive pregnancy test. I quickly changed, shoved the test into my pocket, and exited my room. "Hey!" I shouted to the old man when I spotted him. He slowed turned to face me and smiled when he did. "You just look…" "What the hell is this?!" I asked ripping the test out of my pocket. "My dear," he said, "When you got here we tried to feed you to help with the malnutrition but you were the one that could never keep it down. And then we noticed the lack of a menstrual cycle and we became concerned so we used that test and that is what it came out as." I backed away from him bewildered. "How long have I been here?" I asked. "You've been here for about 2 months, Clarke. We had to put you into a medically induced coma to keep you and your baby alive." e
