Darkness in the Sunlight
Chapter One
"I didn't kill him!" I screamed as the guards grabbed onto my arms, struggling against them. "Abby! I didn't kill him!" She stared at me with a sad expression, but said nothing. I shook my head in disbelief. "I didn't kill him." I muttered, allowing the guards to hold onto me.
I ran my fingers through my hair slowly, attempting to fix the tangles that had emerged in the last few months. I squinted, trying ever so slightly to stare at my full reflection through the glass. My face was pale. My dark circles more prominent against my skin. My cheek bones stuck out more from lack of food. My eyes moved up to the planet in front of me. My entire life, I've always wanted to know what it would be like to go to earth. Everything I had learned about earth was from over 97 years ago. We knew nothing of the planet now.
I touched my neck, frowning when I remembered they had taken my necklace when they locked me up. They had taken everything from me. No one visited me. I was labeled as "dangerous" for a crime I didn't even commit. Everyone thought I lied, when in reality I wasn't. I knew the man- I had dated him a few years prior to his death. Everyone knew I hated him, so they assumed that was my motive for his murder. I knew he deserved it, after how cruel he was to me but never would I kill someone- that just wasn't me.
"Prisoner 26891." I looked back as my door opened, revealing two guards. "Face the wall please."
I heaved a sigh as I did as they asked, staring at the boring wall in front of me. "Hold out your wrist." The man asked next. I was confused; I was almost eighteen and when we turned eighteen we would be reviewed. I slowly held out my wrist, feeling a deep pain go through my wrist. "Ah!" I screeched as I pulled my wrist away from the man, staring at the bracelet that was now embedded into my skin. "What the hell-" I felt something hit me in the back as arms captured me, my vision growing weak until everything went dark.
"Ow..." I mumbled, slowly opening my eyes. I didn't know how long I was out, but I knew whatever happened wasn't good. I looked around uneasily at those sitting beside me. We was strapped into seats, inside of some sort of ship? I looked over, seeing a blonde searching the crowd of people. "Clarke!" I yelled to her, relief washing over my face. She sighed, a frown appearing on her face. "Do you know what's going on?"
I shook my head. "Beats me." Just then a screen came on. "Prisoners of the ark, hear me now." A man said, it was Chancellor Jaha, Well's Dad. "You've been given a second chance. As your chancellor, it is my hope that you see this not as just a chance for you, but a chance for all of us, indeed for mankind itself. We have no idea what is waiting for you down there. It the odds of survival were better, we would have sent other, but frankly we're sending you because your crimes make you expendable."
"Your dad's a dick Wells!" A boy shouted from two seats away. I looked up and searched around. Wells was here?
"Your crimes will be forgiven." Chancellor Jara continued, "Your records wiped clean. The drop site has been chosen carefully. Before the last war, Mount Weather was a military base built into a mountain. It was to be stocked with enough non-perishables to sustain 300 people for up to two years."
"No one ever made it there. Because of this we can spare you no food, clothing medicine, but you are strong. Remember mount weather is life. Immediately go there once you land. You will start the new age of man. You have one job, one responsibility- Survive."
The screen went dark as pipes came loose from the walls, the pod jerked side to side. Everyone screamed, and for a moment I thought we were going to die. Everything went silent.
"Listen, no machine hum." One of the boys behind them said out loud.
The guy next to him gasped in awe, "That's a first."
I sighed in relief as I looked over at Clarke, who I noticed was sitting next to Wells. I slowly took the belt off along with everyone else, stretching as I followed the group of people to the bottom level. I could hear Clarke following behind me, along with Wells, and I had a feeling she'd be the one save us if anything went wrong.
"Bellamy?" My eyes snapped towards a girl with long brown hair. The guy next to the door looked up at the young teen girl. The two smiled at each other. Some people started murmuring about who she was, saying she was the kid that was hidden under the floor and so on, but they went ignored at the two sibling greeted each other for the first time since over a year. I slid behind Clarke, watching from a distance as Octavia Blake and her brother Bellamy embraced each other.
"Where's your wrist band?" Clarke spoke, breaking up the moment.
The two siblings turned to the blonde, "Do you mind?" Octavia asked, "I haven't seen my brother in over a year."
"No one has a brother." A guy shouted from the crowd.
"That's Octavia Blake! The girl they found hidden in the floor!"
Octavia glare at the crowd and lurch back to attack them for talking about her, but thankfully held her back and pulled her toward the door, "Octavia, it's okay! Don't! Let's get them something else to remember you by."
"Like what?" She snapped back at him.
"Like being the first person on the ground in a hundred years." He grinned at her. With that he went over and pulled the lever and opened the outer hatchet. A bright light started to stream in. I squinted my eyes, never had experienced anything like this.
Octavia walking out and breathed in the fresh earth air. It wasn't toxic, everything was going to be okay! Taking a few more steps forward Octavia finally walked off the Pod platform and her feet reached the dirt. Everyone smiled, seeing that she was okay then finally she yelled, "We're back Bitches!" at the top of her lungs.
As everyone ran into the immediate forest surrounding us, I leaned my head against the outside of the Pod. I felt dizzy, but I assumed it was from the fresh air. As I walked forward I accidentally bumped into someone. "Sorry." I muttered, shyly. "Holy shit!" The person turned around and grinned at me. "Octavia!" I practically screamed as she hugged me, both of us jumping up and down like idiots.
"Tasha." I turned to find Bellamy staring at me from a few feet away. He ran to me, wrapping his strong arms around me in a tight hug. I felt shaken up at first. I hadn't seen Bellamy in almost a year- a lot of things had changed since then. Slowly, though, I found myself wrapping my arms lightly around him, missing the calming warmth of his body. As we pulled away, I stared up at Bellamy for a few seconds, blinking like an idiot. "Uh- hi." I rubbed the back of my neck nervously. Octavia grinned at us, pulling on my arm. "C'mon!" I looked back, giving Bellamy a wave before allowing his sister to pull me through the forest.
I sat on the grass with Octavia, pulling at it through my thin fingers. Octavia smirked, nudging my shoulder. "It looks like someone's taken a liking to you." I lifted my gaze to find a guy staring at me. I blushed slightly, biting my lip as I stared back at him. "Well, he's pretty cute, right?" Octavia chuckled, but her serious demeanor came back, as which always happened when I talked about my interest in guys. "Yeah, but Tasha-"
"Look, O. You're brother doesn't have feelings like that for me- I've known him my ENTIRE life, and we've never kissed, or anything like that." A pained expression crossed my face as I spoke. "You know how I feel about him, O, but I can't keep waiting for something that isn't gonna happen... I can't keep getting hurt over my best friend not feeling the same about me."
Octavia sighed, but a small smile appeared on her face. "Just don't do something you'll regret, alright?" I rolled my eyes as I shoved her shoulder playfully. "Hey, I'm the one who's supposed to tell YOU that! I am older than you!"
She rolled her eyes, walking over to Bellamy, who I just noticed was looking at me. I managed to smile at him before sitting down on a piece of metal from the drop ship. I glanced over at Clarke who was making a big scene about needing to find Mount Weather. I knew she was right, but after being locked up for so long I wasn't going to ruin the feeling of freedom I had.
"Tash! You coming?" I blinked as several sets of eyes went to me, including Bellamy's. "And leave him to run things? Sorry, Clarke but you're on you're own." She glared at me before leaving with Octavia, Jasper, Finn And Monty.
I pulled out a book from under my shirt. Abby must've smuggled it on me before I left. I opened it slowly, realizing it was my song book. It made feel at ease knowing that even down here I'd be able to remember all the songs I had wrote and learned. As soon as I began to read however, the book was snatched out of my hands.
I looked up only to find the man that had been staring at me earlier, smirking and looking at my book. "What's this?" He asked, his smirk never leaving his face. I rolled my eyes, a smile on my face. "It's none of your business."
He looked down at me, a look on his face I hadn't seen in a long time. He began to ran away from me, making me chase after him. It didn't take long before I had my arms wrapped around him, snatching my book from his grasp. We were both out of breath, but I was laughing, which was a good sign.
"Damn, you're fast." The guy smiled at me. "I'm John Murphy, but call me Murphy."
"I'm Tasha."
"Oh, everyone knows you." He smirked as he leaned forward, moving a strand of hair from my face, causing me to blush. "You always sang at those dances they'd hold for us once a year." I looked up into his dark blue eyes, a grin on my face. "That would be me." I replied as I stored my book in a safe place. "What did they get you for? Singing to loudly after curfew?" Murphy smirked, leaning against a tree as he watched me tie my shoe. "They accused me of killing a man." I replied, glancing up at him through the hot sunlight. I stood up to my full height, pulling my hair back into a pony. "Take it you didn't do it then?" I grinned, pushing against his shoulder. "Please! Does it look like I would kill someone?" Murphy shook his head, brushing his fingers against my cheek. "Nah, you're too innocent for that." I raised my eyebrows at him, smirking as I walked away. "You'd be surprised."
Night came fast. I didn't know what time it was- but I knew we needed to get food and water soon or we'd all get too weak. Bellamy was being an idiot; he was instructing the people to take off their wrist bands. The people wouldn't follow us down, and more people would die on the Ark because of him. Wells tried to stop them, but why would they listen to the Chancellors son? Everyone that had been sent to the ground HATED Jaha, which in turn meant they hated Wells.
I gasped as I felt water droplets hit my head. I looked up at the sky as more fell onto my face. Rain? Was this rain? I grinned as I held out my hand, allowing the rain to gather into my hand. I splashed my face with it, staring at my hair as it turned from straight into ringlet curls.
I walked over to the Pod, setting down my tent as a sheet. "Nice bed." I looked up at Murphy with a smirk. "Well, it's better than nothing." I replied as I turned my back to him, setting my jacket down as a pillow. "I'm sure there are better places you could sleep." I bit my lip as I felt Murphy's breath on my neck. "Are you offering?" I asked, a grin taking over my face as he spun me around, pushing me against the wall of the drop ship. His lips met mine heatedly. His hands were already moving up and down my sides. I let out a quiet moan at the feeling, kissing him back as fast as I could. I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling his body closer to mine, and I could feel him through his pants. A smirk came across my face. He must've felt it, because he pushed harder against me causing me to moan again. This time, he smirked.
We pulled back after a while, just staring at each other as the rain started to fall on us. Murphy pulled me into his tent, pulling my now soaked body against his. I leaned up, kissing him feverishly as I began to take off his shirt. I tossed it on the floor before I began to run my fingers across his chest as he tossed me down onto his bed. I watched him as he pulled down his pants, and then underwear. He smirked at me, causing me to blush. He laid down on top of me, kissing me passionately while he tore off the rest of my clothes. Murphy let out a groan as I ran my thin fingers across his bare chest. As we slipped into our eternal bliss, I never thought anything would be better than that very moment.
A/N: I hope you guys enjoyed chapter one! PLEASE leave a review!
