CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE!
This is a fun concept I wanted to try (formatting issues and organizational concerns I have been having to be, for the moment, cast aside and thrown to the wind) to give you the chance to choose your "ultimate season 5". Much like the Choose Your Own Adventure series (or, what I remember from it) the story might end up taking a surprising turn and not go where you wanted it to go! So, its going to be a mix of a little serious and a little funny (I hope). Plus, it gives me a chance to consider all the different permutations that Season 5 could have...
One final comment and a request - HELP me choose the adventure! Please in a review include what the "next choices" should be or what you want them to be - I don't think I will include the options until I have finished the next chapters, so that I actually consider the permutations and not just the other options. I am genuinely nervous about my first attempt at this format... so please, wish me luck! or, don't. The choice is yours!
Clarke sat there, soaking in the sun in her small patch of Eden, holding the radio to her chest and staring off into the sky. To feel that hope, then to have that hope replaced with the fear of a new threat left her heart thudding loudly and her pulse quickened.
Back in the rover as she carefully hid the vehicle halfway in a cave where it was easily camouflaged with some fallen trees and branches, Clarke looked intently at Madi. Madi didn't quite understand all that was happening but was taking Clarke's instructions seriously, silently working on unloading the equipment. Clarke grabbed the radio. Staring at it now, she wondered to herself if she had, inadvertently through attempting to keep her sanity and tell herself her friends were alive... if she had risked Madi's safety by bringing this prisoner ship to Earth. She cursed herself silently in her head, suddenly retreating into her old habit of blaming herself simply for having feelings, for listening to what her heart needed in attempting to contact the Ring. She furrowed her brow, trying to remember of all she had shared with Bellamy over the past six years. It was, unfortunately, nearly everything. Updates on what they had found that day in the woods, stories about Madi, her own loneliness... and of course, their current location.
It was possible, she realized, as her and Madi silently prepared their weapons, that Bellamy had heard all of her messages. It was equally possible, of course, that these prisoners had heard them and... of course, the sad realization she refused to let take a hold of her, that nobody was hearing her messages, because the communications link failure had meant her friends had suffocated in space. She shook her head of that notion quickly.
She had to come up with a plan to defeat the enemy. She hadn't had to do that in a very long time.
Option 1: Bellamy has been able to hear all of Clarke's messages. Please proceed to 3.2.1.
Option 2: Bellamy has not been able to hear any of Clarke's messages. Please proceed to 3.2.2
