Chapter 3
They were back on earth again. Words could not describe the happiness that the group of seven felt when they finally slept on to the planets lied down in the grass on the field they had landed on. She closed her eyes and breathed in the smell of the air. After her followed Harper, Monty and Emori. Bellamy just stood there taking everything in. He felt a strike of joy for every tree, every bush and every piece of sky that he saw.
They decided to set up a camp just outside of their ship as they could see on the sun that it was fairly late in the afternoon. Since the sun was still shining they all sat outside in silence, just watching their surroundings, thankful to be back. Bellamy wandered the field with an armed gun. You could never be to careful, he thought. Raven walked up to him, asking if he would be able to hunt them some proper food.
But Bellamy didn't answer as he had heard a sound coming from the nearest bushes. He gestured to Raven to be quite as he approached it.
Suddenly a girl, not more than 13 years old, popped out of it and started to run across the field, away from them. A million questions appeared in Bellamys mind. Was she a girl from the bunker? She could have information about his sister. Bellamy screamed for her to stop and when she didn't he raised his weapon and took a shot. He missed. His aim wasn't what it used to be.
'Bellamy, don't!' raven shouted.
To their surprise the girl suddenly froze and turned around. She tilted her head as she was studying him from top to toe.
'Bellamy Blake?'
'Yes, how do you know my name?'
'Clarke told me..'
Clarke was walking in the direction of the crash sight when she heard a gunshot. She got very nervous. Who was shooting? Who was getting shot? Surely the Mining people had heard the shot and they had obviously seen the ship land. Maybe they had found Madi and was shooting at the foreign person. Clarke became very anxious as she ran a bit faster to were the ship landed.
Bellamy didn't know what to think. Why was this girl toying with her, what had he done to her? It was unfair, this was supposed to be a happy day and she stirred up memories of someone he wanted to forget. He didn't want to think about the fact that she should be by his side. They sat the girl down outside of their ship. She told them her name, Madi but not much else. To be fair he had been shooting at her. But clearly she was curious enough to trust them with supplying her with some water to drink.
'Are you Raven?' She asked Harper as she supplied her with water. Harper just shook her head as an answer.
'I'm not saying we should torture her, but we need information. We don't know anything about what's been going on here for the last year. This girl could help us find our people again. We have to do something, asking won't help. Sh just spits out lies or made up stories' Bellamy was talking to Raven. He so desperately wanted to find his sister, the only family in the world he had left. The only one in the world who he loved and who loved him.
'Bellamy you've been such a good leader these past 6 years, why do you you have such a hard time now to think with your head?'
'It's just... She...'
Raven understood. She knew.
'Just try asking her before we take her as a prisoner'
Bellamy turned to Madi and looked her in the eyes. She didn't seem to be a bad person. She was just a child, he couldn't understand who'd sent her here all alone.
'Madi, I need you to tell me what happened to the people in the bunker?'
She opened her mouth but before she could answer they all heard a voice coming from the edge of the woods.
'MADI?!'
Before anyone could stop her she got on her feet and started running across the field. Bellamy couldn't let her go without knowing the whereabouts of his sister and started to run after her.
