It's so cool to see I have a follower! I hope you enjoy this!
It was late in the afternoon when Adriana finally stopped scouting. In her hand she had a nylon bag, fashioned out of the drop ships parachutes, full of what she assumed were rabbits, they were small, fast, fussy and had long ears though there were long claws on their feet and sharp nasty looking teeth in their mouths. There was a cave she found a ways from the camp and though it was not ideal, in her opinion, it would serve it's purpose until she could find a better location. She buried the rabbit with rocks before heading to the camp in search of Wells.
She came upon him as he was having a face off with Bellamy, she wasn't sure what it was about but all the teens soon starting chanting 'Whatever the hell we want.' Funny, that's the thinking that got them into the skybox in the first place. She went and grabbed Wells wrist. She was unsure on what had happened but Wells looked physically okay though she was sure he was hungrier than her. Even with half rations she had not gone without food for full days and Wells, being the Chancellors son, was surely well fed for the most part. As she went to tug him away she jumped at the loud sound of thunder. Something cool and wet fell on her face and as she wiped it away she realized it was water, and soon rain fell all around them. "We have to collect his" Wells said to Bellamy, the other male smirked and spread his arms "whatever the hell you want."
"Adriana we have to collect this" Wells said as he followed the girl, "I know, follow me." Adriana led wells to the ship, "help me take off a panel, i'll make a barrel." Together they ripped a thinner panel from the interior and after forcing into a cylinder shape and tying it with cable to stay Adriana pulled out the solar power welder. "I'm going to need another panel, don't look this way though." Wells nodded and turned to rip another panel as Adriana pulled the goggles over her eyes and soon sparks started flying. It took almost an hour to weld the barrel, make a bottom and fashion a lid.
It wasn't the fanciest thing but it would work to collect water. "We need to make another one" Wells said as he helped Adriana sit the barrel in a good spot to collect water, unknown to him it was close to the cave Adriana had found. "If they want water they can collect it themselves" the dark skin male gave her an incredulous look, "We can't just collect water for ourselves and leave them with nothing!" Adriana glared and grabbed his wrist as he went to walk towards camp, "Listen to me Wells and listen well, I was told by your father to keep you ALIVE, those kids would sooner kill you themselves then help you with anything. And you can't pretend that they actually care about you or themselves, WE collected firewood for them, WE pulled the dead bodies out of the ship and WE are collecting water. I will not allow you to put yourself in harms way because you think it's the right thing to do. When hunger sets in and dehydration takes it toll they won't think twice about what they are doing." He gave her a sad look, he knew it was true, soon the delinquents would start fighting each other for the smallest thing. "Come on, I got something for you."
Wells was surprised to see that Adriana had made herself quite at home in a cave, a pit was dug full of wood with a grate over it, there were some seats from the ship made into a bed and he was even more surprised when Adriana pulled a nylon bag that had what looked like rabbit inside. It took a while to skin them but by the time they brought back the full barrel of water inside the rabbit was done cooking over the open fire.
"Many people hate your father," Wells looked up at the girl, a little put off by the comment but the statement wasn't false. "I don't" this he was surprised with, all he had heard while here on earth is how his father was hated, he was a bad person, and things of that nature. "He saved my life actually, and I guess even more so now that we're down here" Wells was unsure on how to respond so he munched away at his rabbit as he waited for Adriana to continue, "The counsel wanted to float me" Wells almost choked on his rabbit, "but you're a minor, any minor goes straight to the sky box."
Adriana smiled at this, "that's usually the case, but the counsel had never dealt with someone like me, 5 murders and assault on the captain of the guard, I was beyond dangerous." Wells father had never spoken on what had happened at the meeting, all he knew was that Adriana was sent to the sky box, her parents floated and that was that. "Everyone wanted me floated, but your father, he didn't, whether he understood why I killed those men or took pity on me I don't know, but I do know he saved my life that day." A far off look came over Adriana's features and Wells opted to just listen, "It took four hours for him to convince the counsel to let me live, the men I had killed" she smirked "they had tried to rape me," Wells could not help but gape openly at her, no one had heard what exactly had happened, and his father never spoke of it.
"There was no physical proof of what had happened, no footage, no sexual injuries on me, nothing, but your father believed me. In the end I was sent to the sky box and pulled the plug on the captain of the guard, he didn't do it because the man couldn't be saved or because he was wasting resources, he did it for me. Your father killed a man for me." Wells was unsure what to think, sure his father had floated people, but that was the law, his father had not written the laws, but to think he had used the law to openly murder someone made him uneasy. Adriana's voice brought him from his musing, "your father isn't a bad man Wells, he believed me when he didn't have to, he saved my life without a second thought, and he came to me because he loves you." Wells smiled at that, "your dad has hope for all of us, and that's something rare."
Wells got up and grabbed a stick with cooked rabbit along with a sack he had fashioned to hold water, "there was a little girl, about 12, I doubt anyone is looking out for her do you mind if I take this to her?" Adriana shook her head, "go, but if your not back quickly I'm going out for you, I don't want you out and about alone at night" Wells smiled, "yes mom" he said as he walked out and almost tripped as Adriana threw something at him. It didn't take long for Wells to find the girl and he gently shook her awake. The girl startled awake and almost screamed, "hey, a friend found this, and I brought you some." Looking down Charlotte saw cooked meat and a sac full of water, she quickly took both and began devouring the food. Wells left Charlotte to her food, knowing that she was skittish around others, especially him. When he had been walking for almost 10 minutes he was sure he was now lost. Once he hit what felt like dirt and gravel he was positive he was lost. 'great, already lost, Adriana is either going to laugh or kill me' Wells mentally groaned, but at least it had stopped raining.
Adriana got up, Wells had been gone for a while now. A while she was uncomfortable with. She checked her combat knife and grabbed her bow before heading out. 'Wells better not be doing something stupid, I'll shoot him' she grumbled to herself as she made it to camp. There was silence and no one seemed to moving about, after deciding the male wasn't at camp she headed out to look for him sure that he had gotten lost. As she walked about she saw someone in the distance by what she was unsure were dunes or not. Wondering what anyone would be doing awake at this hour she decided to follow. As she got closer she recognized the male as part of Bellamy's new boy club. As soon as she made it over the ridge for the dunes her blood began to boil. She could see Bellamy walking away as Wells was being ganged up on by four guys, she quickly pulled out her bow and took aim "STEP AWAY FROM WELLS OR I'LL SHOOT ALL OF YOU", her voice caught the attention of the ones fighting with Wells, she recognized Murphy and Atom but the other two she couldn't remember the name of. Adriana quickly made her way down to the group "move away" she growled and slowly the boys moved away, "Adriana put it down" her gaze shifted to Bellamy, "call off your bitches Bellamy, or I'll shoot them" Wells moved to Adriana, his wrist throbbed, they had been unsuccessful at ripping open the bracelet but damn did the attempt hurt.
Bellamy stared at his ex fiance, why would she defend the Chancellors son so readily, surely she hated him as much as he did, it was because of the Chancellor that Octavia had been locked up, why they weren't together and ready to wed in a few weeks, why he had been stuck as a janitor instead of being in the guard. "Come on Adriana, put it down" he motioned for the rest of the guys to go, though he did notice Murphy's gaze lingering on Adriana, he glared at that and once Murphy was out of sight he turned around. Adriana whispered to Wells how to get back to the cave and told him to go. Once he was gone she turned to Bellamy, "Look Adri-" "I don't know what you did to get here Bellamy," she quickly cut him off, "but whatever it is I know it has to do with why you are getting those kids to take off those bracelets, 'whatever the hell we want' that is so bullshit" she sneered at him, "whatever you want Bellamy, leave Wells out of it" she glowered at Bellamy. Bellamy saw red, as she went to walk away he grabbed her wrist and turned her around, "why are you defending him!" he growled in anger, Adriana quickly pulled out her knife and pressed it against his neck, "let go off me Bellamy" he quickly let go, he knew this girls anger. "Don't come near me again, don't come near Wells again, tell your dogs to stay away or we can add to the dead bodies we already have." Bellamy found himself becoming angrier, "Why are you defending him, his father floated your parents and threw you in the sky box! He took my sister away and threw me into janitorial! So why!" Adriana glared darkly "you will stay away Bellamy. Go be a 'leader' to those kids, but when shit hits the fan it'll be on you." She turned away and left, not caring that Bellamy was calling after her.
Adriana detoured by the camp before going to the cave. Wells was already asleep, Adriana woke him up, "what?" he asked groggily. "Take off your clothes" she said as she began to strip her jacket, squeezing the water out and hanging it near the fire on a bar, "What!?" she looked over at the male "your clothes, their wet, take them off to dry, unless you want to get sick, we don't know what the weather is like out here" she continued with her boots, and socks before stripping her cargo pants and shirt. Wells couldn't help but stare, she had a good body, defined muscle and a nice swell to her bust and butt, but as he looked beyond that he could see what looked like the beginning of malnutrition, protruding ribs and hip bone, sunken in collar bone and jutting joints. "are you just going to stare or strip" Wells focused again as Adriana laid in her make shift bed under what he assumed was a blanket of some sort. He stripped too and hung his clothes before laying down to sleep. This time around it was a little harder but when his hormones finally died down his mind was able to allow him some sleep.
Tell me what you think!
