Lucas p.o.v

I looked around the interrogation room. They had my handcuffs stuck to the desk and my legs cuffed to the floor, someone would of thought I was some dangerous beast if it wasn't for the flesh isn't of fur.

There was one way mirrors surrounding me and on the other side of the table was a shot gun leaning on the wall. Most likely a precaution to keep me down and frightened but it wasn't working, I planned to escape.

Finally the officer walked in sipping on his coffee loudly. He was wearing a black shirt with a badge pierced on the left side of his clothes and dark jeans. He sat down with a file in his hand and put it on the desk hard.

I looked up at him and he stared back as if he was examining me. I huffed and looked away, unphased.

The officer turned the file to face him and opened it up, looking at every page carefully.  "So your name is Lucas Caulfield correct?" He didn't look up from the file when he spoke. "It says here that not only once but many times you refused a direct  order to quarantine a infected city." They call it quarantine I call it a massacre. "Do you have anything to say for that?"

"Innocents die by the corrupted everyday, little do we know we're be controlled by a group of them. What morality to we have when we just kill out of fear." I said looking at him with a serious glance.

He looked up and me, surprised maybe I wasn't sure. He leaned forward and placed his hands on the desk, looking at me straight in the eye. "What are you trying to prove Mr.Caulfield."

"That humanity can be saved." I said sternly. "Why what are you trying to prove?"

"That's not your job agent." His sounded uneasy.

"Isn't it?" I asked. "You know there's a time in a person's life that they realize they have to make a stand and believe me officer they will make a stand and when that time comes they will run over and swallow you whole. Rebellions are the act of liberation, strength brung forth by will and dedication." I sat forward. "Let me ask you something officer, how long does your government plan on keeping from us the memories that was once ours?"

The officer gave an confused look. "What?"

"Do you remember the world before the corrupted? Because I don't and it's not because of stress and what our world's become it's because we no longer have access to them. The government has lied to you, playing us as fools. You just have to open your eyes."

There was a loud knock on the door. "Officer Hilton, let us in please. Interrogation is over."

I looked at him and shook my head. "Things will only get worse, the corrupted will control the strings. We need to fight back before it's too late but revolution needs voices, armies...you can be written in history."

He was tapping hard on the file pages with his fingers. I know the idea got into his head. "Mr. Hilton if you do not open this door immediately you will be guilty for plotting against humanity." They said through the door.

"They want to control us, make us unaware. Play the sheep in the herd when in reality there the wolf. How long before they rip us to threads Hilton?"

"Officer Hilton!" They yelled.

He scooted his chair back and stood up. "I'm sorry." He said towards me. He unlocked the door and they pushed opened the door and untied the cuffs from the desk before dragging me out. I looked back at the officer frightened for his life.

One officer walked up to him Just before he was out of sight. "Your badge has been revoked Mr. Hilton." I heard a gun shot and I closed my eyes. I felt guilty...I was the one who killed him.

One thing I overlooked in all the books I read is that with rebellion all the corrupted, and the ones too deep will do whatever they can to kill us and everything we stood for. I had to be ready for that risk and I had to make sure they were too.

Derek p.o.v

They removed the black bag off of my head and kicked me to the ground. I began to breath heavy due to the resistant hot air I had to endure for the ride here.

Once I began to see clearly I turned to the side, trying to find Katie but she was nowhere in site. "What did you do with her?" I huffed.

I was kicked in my side and then got a foot to my face. I fell over on my back and coughed in pain. "You do not speak until commanded. We ask the questions here fallen." The man who kicked me stated.

I weakly looked up and seen a man with a bat in his hands, tattoos on his face and torn clothes. Beyond him was a banner that read:
We are the fallen, forgotten and left to die.
We are the fallen, watch us rise.

The place looked like a camp, it had tents, some cabins and houses. A community walked around. "Who are the fallen?" I whispered to myself.

"They are the people who the government left to die. The people who lived in the cities before they were bombed." I looked up and seen a man walk up to me with a scruffy beard and long wild hair. He was slim and had on a white button down and black shorts. "And you are?"

"Derek...Where is-" The man kicked me again.

The guy lifted his hand for him to seize. "We found him outside, he doesn't seem to be a fallen. He was traveling with a young girl." The guy explained.

"Where is she?" I made out weakly.

The man who kicked me gave me a mean look. "Where is the girl Collin?"

"In the shed..." he said looking down.

"Take me and him to her please." The man commanded as he began to walk.

Collins grabbed me up roughly, "Come on prisoner." I leaned on him and we followed after the man.

Rachel p.o.v

We made it too a broken pipe leading outside. I heard distant yelling but the man seemed to be too far away to be a treat. The kids called out that they got through leaving me and Alex's dad on the other side. "Alright Rachel your next, I'll be right behind you." I folded my hands in defiance. He sighed, "Lets not do this right now."

"Explain." I demanded.

He groaned, "Okay fine I'm a corrupted right I was the first one to become one. I needed some cash and the experiment gave 10 grand I didn't think it would start all this."

"You were the first corrupted? How are you even alive?!" I asked in shock.

He shook his head, "I'm still wondering the same thing, I came to when the world was in shambles. Corrupted left and right but none attacked me, I ran home and Alex was the only one there."

"And you can control it?" I asked.

He nodded, "Sometimes. I'm usually as normal as you are until something triggers me. I can't bring out the power on my own."

"What does it feel like?"

He looked down, "Terrifying, empowering, chaotic. So many emotions at once, it consumes your thoughts you body your everything and the only thought in your head is..." He paused and then looked up at me. "Let's just say you can imagine why most corrupted have no humanity."

I was shocked. Who could of ever thought a corrupted could be so...well human. I assumed that once someone was corrupted they were gone but now I imagined Michelle's dad out there probably screaming for his humanity. He was in there...and we abandoned him.

"We have to go. Now!" I heard yelling in the distance. I crawled into the pipe and pushed my way through the gunk and filth til I made it outside.

I crawled out, "Hey I never got your name." I said towards the pipe.

Michelle rushed to hug me. "Mommy look." I looked up and seen men with guns pointing towards us. Alex's dad crawled out and seen it too.

"Fallen." He said.

"What are-"

"Run!" Before I could finish my sentence the men began to fire. Bullets went flying and Alex's dad rushed us forward. I could see a opening in the wall but unfortunately men came out of nowhere and blocked it. "This way!" We turned around, more men. The fire had seized and we had no way out like a herd flocked together by a sheep dog.

"Make any sudden movements and we'll blast you all. Including the kids."

Michelle hung on to me in fear. I turned to Alex's father. "What do we do now?"

He began to put his hands up in the air. "Oliver."

"What?" I asked confused.

"My name is Oliver Cane." Suddenly I was hit in the back of my head and everything went black.
