Chapter 4
Clarke moved through the forest whilst shouting Madi's name. She knew it was reckless, anyone could hear her and she would be an easy target if she was surprised. But Clarke couldn't even think about loosing her, she who had become her only family during her 6 year isolation. She shouldn't have left her from the beginning, she knew Madi was curious about everything and wouldn't be able to stay away from an unfamiliar object.
Clarke was now running in a highly densly grown area which made the forrest very dark. Suddenly, a girl turned around a large tree and came running towards her. When Madi saw Clarke she ran into her arms and breathed heavily into her chest.
'Are you okay?' Clarke asked
Madi just looked up at her and said 'It's him'
Clarke wrinkled her forehead 'Who?'
Before Madi could answer her another figure came running after her. When he saw her he froze. He looked older, his hair was a little longer but she'd recognize those dark curles anywhere. He stood 4 meters away and watched her with big eyes and his mouth lightly open. Clarke struggled to not break down crying. She wanted him to se the best version of him, the smiling version.
'Hi' she said, her voice extreamly high and breaking.
She took a few steps closer to him, afraid that she might scare him away. She was a bit hurt that he looked scared of her but that's probably the normal reaction you have when you see a ghost.
When she was only a meter away from him he took a step forward and closed the distance between them. She felt his scent and looked directly into his dark eyes. He lifted on hand and moved it over her face, lightly touching it.
'Clarke?' His voice was also breaking
Clarke no longer could keep the tears away and her voice was barely hearable.
'It's me'
He put his arms around her body and buried his head in her neck. She put her arms around him and cried on his shoulder. They never wanted to let go, wanted to stay like this forever, afraid that they'd lose each other again. Clarke couldn't stop crying, everything would be fine now because he was back. There was only so much she could do on her own put with her heart back on earth she'd be okay again.
More people came running in the woods. Murphy and Harper had followed Bellamy and both stared at them when they saw her. Then their faces lit up with realization and they laughed while they hugged her. They took her and Madi back to the ship were they embraced her time and time again until she thought she'd throw up from being squeezed so much. But it didn't matter because they were all back again.
They had made a fire outside the ship and we're they were all sitting around it. They all told Clarke how they had survived space and she told them about earth. She told them about the sadistic space people that she had been observing for the last couple of weeks. How they made assault a sport and how the treated children. The group also was very interested about Madi and you could tell by her smile that she was very excited to meet the people she heard so much about. To the groups disappointment, Clarke told them that the people from the bunker had not yet come out and that Clakre couldn't find them. When Raven heard this she immediately got on her feet and went to work on a way of locating them.
Bellamy didn't care much for knowing the whereabouts of the bunker right at this very moment. He didn't say much, didn't ask many questions. He just sat across from her and stared. He wanted to remember every detail, every feature. If they ever get separated again he wanted to remember what she looked like. He hadn't forgotten everything about her but things like how her eyes lit up in the fire or that look she gave when she heard something alarming, had slipt his mind. He didn't want to ever forget that again. So he stared.
Clarke was occupied with answering the others question but once in a while she met his stare. And so they sat and stared at each other. Bellamy didn't mind, this was a thousand times better than staring into a grey wall at the ark. He didn't ever want to leave from this spot.
