"Hey, Everyone back up" I order.
I note the confidence and power seeping from my voice as I say this but I decide it's the guard uniform I wear that compels them to do as I say. The uniform I stole.
I reach for the lever that will open the doors, revealing the Earth we all desperately want to see. Before my hand even makes contact with the metal I hear a female voice shout, "Stop!"
I turn to see a girl of about 17 heading toward me as she climbs down the ladder leading to the second level. She's pretty, with chocolate brown hair, matching brown eyes, and a confident demeanor. She seems familiar even though I'm certain I've never met her before.
She pushes through the crowd of teens gathered around me until we are face to face, "that air could be toxic" she asserts.
I shrug, "Well, if the air is toxic then we're all dead anyway" I reply nonchalantly.
She looks as if she's going to protest so I turn around to pull the lever before she can raise another complaint, but this time I am stopped by someone else.
"Damon"
I turn in disbelief when I hear her voice which I recognize instantly. She climbs down the ladder and quickly makes her way over to me, looking me up and down as if she's not sure I'm really here.
"Look at you, you're all grown up now" I say with a soft smile.
She quickly throws her arms around me in a tight hug and I immediately return the favor. I wasn't lying when I said she had grown. The last time I saw her she had to look up at me when we were speaking, and now she was at least a few inches taller and somehow managed to look completely different, yet exactly the same. It was as if she had aged ten years leaving that little girl I'd always known behind in the dust.
When we pull away she looks me up and down once again and a look of realization passes over her face, "What are you wearing? Is that a guards uniform?"
"Borrowed it, getting on the drop ship wasn't easy, but someone has to look out for you" I reply with a smirk.
She shakes her head and laughs lightly before pulling me into another hug. In that moment all the guilt I have because of what I did to get here is erased and I know, I made the right choice.
"Where's your wristband" I look to see its the mysterious girl from before that asked this.
"Do you mind? I haven't seen my brother in almost two years!" She responds pulling away from me.
"Nobody has a brother!" Someone from the crowd argues.
"It's Caroline Salvatore, the girl they found hidden in the floor!" Someone else notes and the crowd erupts in conversation and the occasional laughter.
I sigh in annoyance having expected a reaction like this. On the Ark one of many insane laws we have is that no family is allowed more than one child. If this law is broken then the mother and her unborn child are executed. As far as I know there has only been one case where the second child even survived birth, and I'm staring right at her.
I notice the flash of rage pass through Caroline's face and grab her before she can attack the idiots who said that. There will be time for that later.
"Care, no!" I say holding her back, "how about we give them something else to remember you by" I suggest.
"Like what" she replies pulling away from my grasp, but not making another move to attack anyone.
"Like being the first person on the ground in a hundred years" I reply giving her a knowing look.
She smiles brightly in return and we walk back over to the lever, the only barrier between all of us and the ground. I put my hand on the lever but pause turning back to the girl from before. I give her a look to show I'm waiting for another complaint but she just rolls her eyes in response causing me to smile slightly as I pull down the lever.
Its like something out of a dream.
The sky is beautiful. Blue and clear. A sun that used to seem so much closer, at the center of it all. The area where we landed is amazing, light coming through the trees, a little bit foggy, the earthy smell, the quietness, coolness, moss growing on the trunks of the trees, droplets of water dripping from large leaves, perfectly green grass, even the dirt seems just perfect. I look to Caroline and we share a smile.
She takes a step forward, her boots clicking against the metal platform. She walks cautiously, as if she expects something to pop out at her. Or maybe she just wants to take in everything. She takes another step, then another, and continues until she reaches the end of the platform. Everyone is silent in anticipation. She looks back and I give her a nod of encouragement.
She takes the last step, which is more of a jump, and her boots land in the dirt. She takes a deep breath.
"We're back!" She screams throwing her arms over her head in victory. Everyone begins to cheer and they all run out screaming, jumping around, and cheering. We're finally home.

"Too high and mighty for the rest of us huh?" I tease as I approach the girl from earlier. I remember Lockwood saying something similar to her on the ship and couldn't help but point out the pattern in her actions.
She simply rolls her eyes and turns back around. She had separated from the rest of us almost immediately after exiting the ship, and after a while I let curiosity get the best of me and went to see what she was doing. Sure enough she stood at the edge of a cliff a few feet away from where we landed holding a large piece of paper in front of her. She was staring at the amazing view, more like it was some confusing puzzle rather then one of the most beautiful things any of us had ever seen.
"So, we didn't all die in a fiery explosion, and no one's growing a second head yet, so that's good right, that we all survived the trip down here" I say, attempting to make conversation.
"All of us minus the two boys who thought it was a good idea to take off their seat belts" she points out and I get the feeling she's mad at me even though this was in no way my fault.
"I'm Damon by the way" I say giving her one of my award winning smiles
"Elena" she replies simply without looking up.
After a few seconds of silence I add, "Not very big on fun are you princess?"
She turns to me with an annoyed expression before asking, "You see that peak over there?"
I look in the direction where she's pointing and squint my eyes as if it's hard to see the giant mountain lying there quite obviously. "Sorry, left my glasses on the ark" I remark sarcastically.
She rolls her eyes before responding harshly, "That's Mount Weather where all the food and supplies is. There's a radiation soaked forest between us and our only chance of survival, they dropped us on the wrong mountain"
Hope you all enjoyed! Our next update will most likely be Sunday, until then be sure to check our other story, OMG. Next chapter will have more character, such as Klaus, Kol, ect. Also, we will be starting to branch out more and take the plot in a different direction then the 100 show, so you Definetly have that to look forward to. Don't forget to review, favorite, follow!
