Clarke
I watch the fire burn in front of my eyes. each flame flying up the way disappearing into the cold misty air. Bellamy sits opposite me on the other side of the fire and I watch him slowly while he carves points into the end of sticks with Jasper and Monty sits beside them fiddling with a broken transmitter.
Its been about a month since we crash landed here. we finally have a wee society going, there isn't many of us left. People have either gone their own way, banished or died. Everyday we face the fear of getting attacked by the grounders and the fear of starving to death. soon it is going to be winter and it is going to be much harder to hunt than it is now.
Octavia an Lincoln come join us by the fire and we sit silently waiting for someone to break the silence.
"I was thinking" Octavia says quietly thinking as she speaks
I look away from the fire and up at Octavia "what?"
"we need a plan of some sort, we could be attacked at any point, I mean look at us" by this point Octavia had got the attention of Bellamy who had stopped to listen "we have nothing to defend with, this camp is falling to pieces and people are giving up"
there was a pause while everyone was thinking
"your right" Bellamy blurts out "the adults aren't comin-"
"stop, don't say that" Monty interrupts holding the transmitter
"its been a month and there has been 3 burial ceremony's up there already, each shower with at least 100 innocent people getting killed so there is enough air on board" Bellamy continues "we need to stop thinking they are and do something with the freedom we have here"
I walk off to my tent not saying anything, I need to think without the noise of people chatting. I walk into my tent with has a small wooden bed with a torn blanket on it. With the storage box next to it with my led sculpture that Fin had made before he died.
I put alight the lantern hanging from the top of the tent and I sat on the bed and put my head in my hands. I start thinking about all the people who died in my commands and the amount of people who committed suicide and now everyone is giving up hope that the adults will come down. About 5 minutes go by and I hear footsteps outside my tent
"what do you want" I shout outside the tent realising the person had stopped
"what makes you think I want something" shouts the person back and I suddenly know by the tone of his voice it's Bellamy
"you going to come in or stand out there for the night" I smile and take off my shoes and Bellamy walks in
"well maybe I thought I was going to be invited in" he laughs
I get under my blanket Bellamy sits by my feet
"you okay" he says in a more serious tone
"I will be thanks" and I go quiet not really knowing what to say
he continues to look at me like he is trying to figure me out. he looks down at my blanket, feels the blanket then frowns
"this is the shittest blanket I have ever seen" Bellamy says standing up "where did you find it?"
"other people needed the good ones, I'm surviving" I smirk looking up at Bellamy who is still giving me disapproving looks
"right get up" he walks forward and holds his hand out
"why?"
"just come with me Clarke, no questions"
I don't move
"come one Clarke" he takes the blanket off my and pulls me to my feet and put my shoes back on
he takes me to his tent which is bigger than mine and he has a bigger bed just for the fact that he was the leader when we first came here. At the moment myself and Bellamy are sharing the lead role, Monty , Jasper and Octavia help a lot so in a way its like all 5 of us are in it together.
"I keep forgetting how big this tent is" I say walking in
"well you should come visit more, you have been quiet the last few days"
"yeh I know, just been thinking" I walk around the tent as there is room to do so
"here" I turn to face him and he is holding two big thick blankets in his hands. i look down to his bed and he has left the smallest wee blanket not even enough to cover his legs
"no Bel" I sigh "you have nothing if I take those"
"Clarke, I don't care, you need them more than I do" he takes a couple steps forwards and put them in my hands
"No Bel, I'm sorry but you will freeze" I put the blankets down on the bed and start heading out the tent
"at least sleep here tonight" he says before I leave the tent "you deserve to have a good night, i know you havnt had one in ages"
I stay quiet cause a good night sleep sounds amazing right now
"please" he whispers and I eventually nod my head and sit of the bed
"you sure? I mean I don't want to intrude on anything" I smile
"right that was a long time ago" he laughs "just get into bed, I'm going to do night check"
he leaves the tent and I snuggle into the blankets and fall asleep almost immediately
