Stella POV
As we descended down to earth, all I could think about was the freedom we would be getting. I smiled at the thought of leaving the past and starting a new future.
"What are you thinking about?" Octavia laughed at me. She had been my best-friend since she was born. I was 2 years older than her. I was still 17 but would be 18 soon. She wasn't supposed to be born though. Her mother had a second child, against the Arks rules. My family helped keep her a secret until one day when they caught her. I was there, and I wanted to help, but I couldn't. I didn't want to end up where she was, even though a couple months later I did.
"Because, everything will changed" I told her. The drop ship shook hard, making some girls scream. I rolled my eyes and felt Octavia grab my hand.
"Because you wont see my brother?" I looked over at her, and sighed. Her brother. Bellamy Blake. Bellamy and I had history. But that's for another story, and time. Some things are just too hard to talk about. This is one of them.
"Yeah. I need to stop thinking about him, and what he did to my family" I said smiling at her. She nodded her head and squeezed my hand.
The drop ship shook again. I held the bar with my only free hand tightly. They were sending us down to earth. Earth hadn't been inhabitable until now. 97 years ago a nuclear bomb destroyed the world, and humanity. But now the ark wasn't going to survive long, and neither was the people living there.
My family had known this, alongside the Griffins. They worked together to stop it, but got floated in the end. That's how Clark and myself got here. We attacked the guards who floated our parents. I nearly killed someone.
That was months ago, this is the present.
Another shook made everyone scream. Seconds later a monitor came on, with Jaha, the leader of the Ark speaking to us.
"Prisoners of the Ark. Hear me now. You've been given a second chance. And as your chancellor I hope you see this as not just a chance for you, but I chance for all of us". After that I stoped listening. He floated my parents. Why would I give a crap about what he was saying?
"Your dads a dick Wells!" I heard someone yell, followed by laughter. I looked over at him and sighed. He was also one of my closet friends. I didn't know why or how he got onto this drop ship, but I was planning on finding out.
Clark was sitting next to him. She looked mad. Wells had told his dad what Clarks parents where doing, so she got mad at him.
But he wasn't the one who killed my parents.
"Yeah Finn!"
"Space walker!"
I turned to them, but saw a floating Finn. I stared at him floating through the drop ship. I smiled but looked at Clark who was about to loose it.
He soon reached them, and pretended to be relaxed.
"Check it out, your dad floated me after all" Finn commented to Wells.
Wells ignored the comment, "You should strap in before the parachute goes" he told him.
Octavia was laughing next to me, I pushed her followed by a look of confusing.
"he's right. He will be thrown around, he could get injured" I told her. she gave me a look again.
"Since when did you follow the rules?" she raised a eyebrow at me. "When my parents got floated" I told her back. She gave me a black look before looking back at Finn.
At the same time, two boys next to Octavia started to take there belts off. "You two! Stay put if you want to live!" Clark yelled at them.
They didn't listen, and started to float like Finn was. At that moment, the parachutes went off, and made the boys fly across the room. Finn landed somewhere behind Clark, but I was concentrated on not dying right now.
The Drop ship shook violently as we descended towards earth. I squeezed my eyes shut, hoping to god nothing was going to happen.
Everything seemed to spark and screams where getting louder. O grabbed my hand and held tight. Maybe she was thinking about not dying too. Smoke was coming from the broken equipment, everything seemed to be falling apart.
We started to slow down, but the damage inside was still going off. The engines started shutting down, and everyone started to calm. We landed. We didn't die. We survived. Now we just needed to survive the ground. If radiation didn't kill us first.
"Listen" some guy called out. "No machino" everyone looked around.
"That's a first" the kid next to him, with goggles the size of his head said. Everyone started unbuckling their seat beats, rushing to get outside.
Octavia and I let everyone out first, before we started to get unbuckled. She smiled at me widely, obviously wanting to go talk to her friends. "Go, I'll catch up" I told her smiling. We hugged before she descended the ladder.
I looked over to Clark and Finn, who were inspecting the two boys.
"Finn is he breathing!" she asked him. he looked up before shaking his head. She looked concerned before someone shouted about the doors. Finn stayed with the bodies. I walked over to him and knelt in front of him.
"It's not your fault. They made the choice" I told him kindly. He looked up and nodded before following after Clark. I sighed and looked at the boys. They couldn't be much younger than me. They didn't even get to see the outside.
I followed after them, reaching for the cold steel of the ladder before descending down.
Just as I reached sight of the door, I saw Octavia hug someone. When he looked up at me my heart sank. Bellamy. His hair was shorter and he was wearing the guard's uniform. He looked shocked and surprised, just how I felt. He smiled slightly, but I ignored it and descended all the way down. I didn't dare go to him; I kept at the back, avoiding his eyes.
"What the hell are you wearing, a guards uniform?" she asked him. I couldn't see them, but I could tell she was mad.
"I borrowed it, to get on the drop ship. Someone had to keep and eye on you" And Stella my brain imagined. I looked away and tried not to think about him.
"Where's your wrist band?" Clark asked him. I could tell it was her. Her voice was always serious.
"Do you mind?" Octavia responded. "I haven't seen my brother in a year" I closed my eyes and waited for the backlash. I felt myself moving to her, as others called at her. Just as she was about to lash out, Bellamy grabbed her, as I did. I looked at him for a slight second before looking at her again.
"Octavia! Octavia no!" Bellamy yelled at her, when she started again. She looked at them again, then me. She smiled slightly before turning to her brother.
"Lets give them something else to remember you by" he told her.
She pulled away from him, and stood closer to me. "Bellamy what?" she asked him.
"To be the first person on the ground" he said smiling at her. She looked up at him, her smiling growing. They both turned to the door, about to open it when he looked back. I smiled before nodding my head at him. He pulled the leather, and smoke filled out as the door fell open.
Everyone gasped and looked outside. I smiled and gasped as well. Octavia looked around, before walking slowly to walk outside. I stepped closer to Bellamy out of in sticked, but didn't look at him.
O took a big breath in before walking and planting her feet on the ground. She looked around again before screaming at the top of her lungs. "Were back bitches!" throwing her hands up. Everyone yelled and filled out after her. I laughed and watched everyone enjoy the earth. Bellamy went after his sister, leaving me in the drop ship, by myself.
I smiled before sitting on the ledge next to the walkway. I felt the tips of the grass brush against my fingers. I saw Clark looking at her map, Finn next to her. She was on the outskirts of were everyone was. I watched her walk away, Finn trailing behind her.
I looked around again and closed my eyes, smiling.
"You like it down here?" Spacewalker, also known as Finn asked.
I turned to him smiling before shaking my head. "Nope, I love it down here".
He started to climb up to the top of the drop ship, smirking down at me. I smiled brightly at him before laughing. I looked over and to Clark drawing on her map. I walked over to her and sat on the edge of the walkway. She looked up and smiled at me.
"Hey" is all she said. I smiled back and looked at her map. "Mount weather?" I asked her. She smiled and nodded. "It's a long way away".
"We've got problems" Wells interrupted us. I looked over at him, then back at Clark. She seemed tensed to be around him, while he looked calm. Who would be calm at a time like this?
"The communication system is dead. I went to the roof, dozen panels are missing". I sighed and looked at Clark. How were we supposed to tell the Ark were alive if our communication wasn't here?
"Well all that matters right now is getting to Mount Weather" Clark told him.
"See Look…" I wasn't concentrating after that. I was looking at Bellamy. As much as I didn't want to, I did. He looked older, but maybe it was the shock of seeing his sister, and maybe me. I shook my head and tried to look back at Clark when someone stared talking.
"Hey, cool a map! Can I get a bar in this town I'll buy you a beer" goggles told Clark. I tried not to smile at this attempt to ask Clark out, but Wells pushed him away.
"You mind?" he asked angrily, still pushing him away.
"Hey, hey, hey!" someone yelled at Wells. I looked behind me and saw some kid walking up to him with a group behind him.
"Hands off of him he's with us" he told Wells, walking right up to him. I leaned back against the wall, and sighed. Like I was getting involved in this. I just wanted freedom, not fighting. I've already done most of that on the Ark.
"Relax!" Wells argued, putting his hands up in defeat, "Were just trying to figure out where we are" he explained to him.
"Were on the ground!" Bellamy said. I looked over to him, looking at me already. He looked back to Wells and continued to argue. "Is that not good enough for you?".
"We need to find Mount Weather" Wells said, walking to him. Big mistake. "You heard my fathers message" Another big mistake, "That has to be our first priority".
I looked back between them auguring. This was ridiculous. I rolled my eyes and continued to watch.
"Screw your father" Octavia butted in. I took a big breathe in. "What? You think your in charge here? You and your little princess?" .
Clark stared before speaking up. "Do you think we care whose in charge? We need to get to Mount Weather! Not because the Chancellor said so, but because the longer we wait, the hungrier we'll get and the harder this will be".
Bellamy rolled his eyes at her. I looked around. Them all seeming to not be interested. Some were, most weren't.
"How long do you think we'll last without those supplies? We're looking at a 20-mile trek. Okay? So if we want to get there before dark we need to leave. Now".
"I've got a better idea, you two go. Find it for us. Let the privilege do the hard work for a change". People around him yelled a chorus of "yeah!".
"You think were privilege? If we were then why are we down here with you?" I ask Bellamy. He looked at me, before looking away.
"You're not listening. We all need to go!" but before he could finish, that idiot before run up behind Wells and attacked him. he started talking to him, but I couldn't hear. He then thought it was a good idea to trip Wells, causing him to injure himself.
He stood up and looked like he was about to fight him, when Finn jumped down from his spot and stood in front of Wells.
"The kids got one leg, how bout you wait until it's a fair fight". I smiled at him, before shaking my head. He always seemed to be saving the day.
"Hey spacewalker! Rescue me next" Octavia walked up to him and said. I rolled my eyes at her, and looked at Bellamy who had looks to kill now.
Everything seemed to die down, and everyone walked away. Finally. Some peace and quiet from these idiots. "What?" I heard Octavia, probably talking to her brother. "He's cute" she told him.
"He's a criminal" he told her back. "There all criminals" she told him. "Look O" he dragged her away and told something quietly, every so often looking at me. I tried to hear but I was too far away to hear.
I looked away and smiled. I was finally on the ground. And one way or another I would avoid Bellamy at all costs.
Thanks for reading! :)
