Disclaimer: I do not own 100 show/characters or the general plot. I only own parts that I make up and my character, Lina Gregory, and any other original characters that I create along the way. (As of right now, the rating is T, but can possibly become M in the future.)
While everyone else was running around being wild and obnoxious, Lina Gregory sat in her tent and scanned over bunches of clothing she was able to savage from the other 98 delinquents. She decided on the denim blue button down and the dark blue pants. She slid on her regular black combat boots when she heard a girl scream. When she stepped outside, she saw a lot of the people rushing towards the sound, including Bellamy and the Chancellor's son. Intrigued, Lina followed as well.
When she arrived to the site behind the others, she frowned. What she found was Murphy holding a girl over the fire where people were taking off their bands. "Bellamy," Murphy called to his superior, "So we want the Ark to think that the ground is killing us right? Figured it would look better if some of us suffered a little bit first…" The Chancellor's son, Wells Jaha, raced over and shoved the boy to the ground shouting, "Let her go!"
Lina thought to herself that this was nothing but a waste of time to watch as she turned around to leave. Her feet stopped when she heard a hard thud in the distance behind her and a boy shouting "Fight!" Hearing the rough rustling of leaves, she turned back around and went to the front of the crowd. She saw Wells overpowering Murphy and she nodded slightly. Maybe they could survive, that is if the radiation didn't kill them first. None of them had any sort of defense against something like that.
Once Wells rolled over on top of Murphy and gave him a few good punches in the face, he got up and faces Bellamy again. "Don't you see you can't control this?" He asked him. Bellamy didn't answer him as Murphy rose to his feet again, with a knife in hand behind Wells. Lina thought about stepping in, maybe taking of Murphy herself, but she couldn't move well with the crowd around her. She also knew that she should be the last person to be a hero.
He mumbled, "You're dead." However this time Bellamy stepped in and stopped him, "Wait!" He demanded as he held his hand up. Then he turned to Wells and gave him his knife, "Fair fight."
Lina thought Bellamy should have stopped the fight instead of indirectly asking for it to continue. She rolled her eyes and made her way out of the crowd. Once she made her way out again, she heard more yelling this time. Unlike before, it was a girl's voice for Wells to stop fighting. She also heard Bellamy shout his sister's name, Octavia. Lina groaned, knowing that the voice belong to their Princess, and turned back around. She pushed and shoved her way to the front of the crowd to see that only four of the five of the group returned.
Lina listened to the returning group to hear that they were attacked by other humans on Earth; and that Jasper was hit and taken by the Grounders. Clarke then turned the subject to the wristbands once she noticed that Wells didn't have his. "How many?" She asked.
"Twenty-four and counting," Murphy answered her, sounding pleased. Murphy creeps Lina out in more ways than one, just hearing his voice sometimes makes her skin crawl.
"You idiots…" Clarke exhaled, "The life support on the Ark is failing and the reason they sent us here was to find out if the ground was survivable again!" The Princess informed. Lina crossed her arms and the wristband on her wrist shined in her eyes. She was planning on taking it off by sundown, but now that Clarke was telling them that it was important for their survival, she wasn't so sure anymore.
"Don't listen to her!" Bellamy bellowed, "She's one of the Privileged, she'll have it good when the others come down!" Lina looked around and saw that some are already agreeing with him. "We can take care of ourselves!" Lina nodded. She had been taught on how to fight and survive on her own her whole life, and this is the place to prove it.
"That wristband on your arm? It makes you a prisoner. We are not prisoners anymore!" Few in the crowd shouted "Yeah!" and Lina just nodded. Bellamy continued his speech and Lina listened to every word. Sure this isn't the first time that this guy had gotten the other kids' approval, but this is the first time Lina actually stood and listened to him. The clamoring of the kids around them continued but Lina only silently nodded her head. That is, until she made direct eye contact with him. She froze when he looked at her and shouted, "The Grounders should be worried about us!" Lina gulped and nodded to let him know that she was with him while the others cheered. However, she wasn't going to take it off just because he says we should.
Lina took a deep breath and turned away but was stopped when she saw Monty following the Princess. Curious, she followed them after hearing Clarke say that they were going to save Jasper. She wanted to see a Grounder first hand, and she got a feeling that being around them will help her with that.
The brunette ended up following them to the shuttle and stopped outside. She debated with herself whether or not she should go inside, but she decided to turn around and wait for them out in the open. When she turned around, she headed for her own tent to quickly pack for the trip she was about to join in on, but when she reached her tent she was stopped by John Murphy.
The look of annoyance written all over her face, "What do you want Murphy…" Lina wasn't the type for small talk and didn't want to be around the kid that gave her chills.
"Oh, so the pretty one knows my name?" He teased, getting uncomfortably close to her. Lina didn't lighten her glare and she tightened her fist. Looking around, she saw that no was looking. She thought that a simple punch to the face would do the job, but thought that it may be too much for a first encounter like this.
"Go away, I have places to be." Lina shoved him away, making him stumble back a bit. Despite her efforts, he just came back, but closer.
"Like where? My tent?" He was not subtle at all, "I hear that you like older men, Lina." She froze at first, but glared up at him sharply.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Lina tried to shove her way pass him, but he grabbed her by the arm. She looked up at him, "And where did you learn my name? I don't ever remembering introducing myself to you."
"Don't be like that, I know why you're in here… and it's not something you want me to share right?"
Lina looked at him in shock, "How the hell do you know anything?" She hissed at him and he shrugged, "There are people in this camp that know things and sometimes they tell people who don't know," He smirked down at her and leaned closer, "Now, be a good girl and-" He was stopped by a hard kick in the crotch. He leaned over as Lina backed away and reached for the blade tucked in the back of his pants before hitting him on the back, knocking him to the ground. When he laid face down on the ground, Lina kicked his side and he rolled over on his back. She got down on top of him and held the knife to his throat. She leaned down close to his face and spoke so only he could hear her.
"Murphy… If you ever tell anyone about what you know about me, I'll cut off your manhood," She pressed the blade closer to his throat, "Understand?"
"Get off me you crazy bitch!" He decided to yell, drawing many more people's attention that Lina already had. She looked around them and made direct eye contact with a pair of dark brown eyes. He raised an eyebrow to her and he walked to her.
"Do we have a problem?" Lina rolled her eyes and stood up when Bellamy approached them.
"The only problem here is that Murphy was being a creep and was sexually harassing me." Lina pointed the knife sharply at the culprit.
"She's assaulted me!" "Do you want to see assault?" Lina was about to charge when Bellamy held her back by grabbing her bicep. She whipped her head around and saw that his look told her that it was better not to argue. The brunette relaxed her shoulders, but Bellamy didn't release her.
"No needs for that, Murphy leave her alone." The King demanded and his follower obeyed as he glared around at everyone. "That goes for everyone else!"
"I don't need you to defend me." The brunette yanked her arm away as the crowd dissipated.
"Obviously not, what's your name?" Bellamy looked down intrigued.
"Lina Gregory, now if you'll excuse me," She said as she turned and entered her tent eager to get out of sight.
"So Lina…" Bellamy walked into her tent after her, "What was all that about? It couldn't be just that he was sexually harassing you," He asked her, watching her back as she threw things into a backpack. She could feel his eyes examining her, much like what most of the guys here did and those back in the Sky Box.
"Nothing you need to worry about, he was just spitting out stupid rumors about me."
"What kind of rumors?" Bellamy asked as Lina stood up and turned to walk out of the tent pass him. He grabbed her arm again and looked her in the eye, his dark brown ones meeting her gold tinted hazel orbs. He seemed like he was searching for something and before he could say anything else, she pulled her arm away for the second time.
"That's for me to know, and you to keep your nose out of my business." She gave him a fake, obnoxious smile as she threw her bag over her shoulder and headed to Clarke as she walked out of the shuttle.
"Hey, Princess," Lina called to the blonde, "You're going to save that kid with the goggles right?"
"Yeah," She replied plainly. The brunette sighed and thought that she was being very stand-off-ish, which Lina thought was her thing.
"I'm coming with you." The brunette declared, earning Wells and Finn exchanging looks of confusion and suspicion. Clarke looked back at Finn and he gave her a shrug as if saying 'Why not?' but she didn't look for the Chancellor's approval.
"I don't think that-" She tried to argue with Lina.
"If what you said is true about the Grounders, you'll need all the help you can get." She argued, shifting her bag on her shoulder, "And from what I can tell, you don't have many volunteers anyways." Clarke pierced her lips before nodding, "Fine, but don't slow us down." She said before walking away with Wells.
"As long as you don't slow me down…" The brunette mumbled to herself as she followed. "I'm Lina by the way!" She shouted after them, quickly joining them as they approached Bellamy who was bandaging Octavia's leg.
