Bellamy POV
The first eight days went by super-fast. We barely explored the ring, not for lack of wanting to but we had other priorities like setting up the farm, getting the water system working again and making sure the control room had no faults. Now everything essential is set up we are going to explore today and see if anything has any problems. We spilt up in groups Harper, Monty and Echo were going to check out sections 1 to 4, Emori and Raven were going to do 5 to 8 and Murphy and I are doing 9 to 12. Each group had a short range radio in case they found anything that needs attention.
We set off and got thru the sections 9 and 10 fairly quickly with no issues. Section 11 was not on my list of places I wanted to visit again, the skybox. Upon walking in there I felt my heart sink. I couldn't help but think of 2 people mainly. My sister, even though I knew she was going to be fine doesn't mean I won't miss her. The other is Clarke, she gave everything she could to save us, again. "Who would have thought we would be back here" Murphy said bringing me back to the moment. "Yeah" I said with a hint of disappointment. Suddenly over the radio I hear Monty "Guys come to Section 2, there is something you need to see". Murphy face held a look of confusion. I lift the radio up instantly and respond "what is it". There is about a minute of quiet and I am about to repeat the question when Monty answers back "it is hard to explain just come check it out". Murphy and I take off in a hurry. We are just passing into section 2 when we finally see everyone else looking at something that kind of looks like the old fridge from med bay. I hear harper ask Monty "who is it". I assume I heard her wrong because there shouldn't be anyone else up here. It wasn't until I was right in front of it, I realised what everyone was staring at. There is a body behind the foggy glass. Raven finally speaks up "it looks like whoever it is, rigged the old medicine fridge to work as like cryosleep chamber". Monty steps forward and wipes the glass of the fog and says "I wonder who it is, they look familiar." It wasn't until then I realise who it is. I let out a small gasp and everyone is now looking at me as I whisper "Tara".
I stand in shock for about 2 minutes while everyone is asking me questions. I finally pull myself together to explain. "Her name is Tara Fields, she lived in the same section as me and the only friend I had as a kid." I turn to raven and ask "is she still alive in there?" Raven walks around the chamber a couple time checking everything out. "It seems so" raven finally concludes. "We should try and wake her then?" murphy then said looking quizzical at me. To which I turn to raven and give her the same look. "I will need some time, but I am sure Monty and I can work out what has been done" she responds.
It was decided that the rest of us would continue exploring while Raven and Monty woke Tara up. I didn't really want to leave her but raven said her and Monty would work better if there isn't people watching there every move. Monty promised he would radio as soon as she starts waking up. Murphy, Emori and echo go to check sections 3 to 5 and Harper and I were going to finish checking sections 11 and 12.
As we are walking to the Skybox Harper speaks up "not trying to sound rude but, I didn't think you had friends on the ark, just because you had to protect Octavia from being found out about". I can understand why she thought that and honestly I would too in her shoes. "We met in earth studies, when we were 7" I recalled to Harper.
Flash Back:
"Hi my name is Tara" a sweet little girl with chocolate coloured hair and Amber eyes says as she extends her hand. "Bellamy" I respond and just stare at her hand cautiously. She then proceeds to take my hand that was sitting by my side and gives me a handshake. "I don't bite, Teacher has told us to work in pairs today, no one will pair up with me cause there mean, and everyone avoids you cause apparently your weird, I think everyone is weird in their own way, so before you can say no, we are working together" she said as she takes the sit next to mine. I tried to ignore her at first but she is persistent, I ended up giving in and we started chatting and most of the topics were about things outside of the ark like what it would be like on earth, not once did she mention family to my relief. I knew I could never tell my mother but that day in earth studies I made my first real friend.
