**I DON'T OWN THE 100, BUT I DO OWN EMILIA FOX AND HER STORYLINE***
Emilia marched beside Clarke while the rest of their group trailed behind, admiring the beautiful sight of their new home. Since the blonde refused to acknowledge her once best friend, Emilia was able to assess the situation and the girl with apprehension.
This thing with Wells had changed Clarke while she was away. Instead of the carefree princess she remembered, Clarke was tense and terse, leaving her to be on edge since they landed. This version of Clarke seemed more like the Emilia before lock-up; cold and lifeless. She actually believed that Wells had betrayed her in some way.
"What could Wells have done?" She thought, biting down on her lip with irritation as she continued to think.
It was Wells Jaha for crying out loud.
The same Wells Jaha that had plenty of dirt on her, but never said anything. If there was even the threat of she or Clarke being harmed; Wells would do everything he could to prevent it. He didn't have it in him to hurt anyone, let alone Clarke.
Clarke sighed. Without looking up, she said harshly "I can feel you staring Emilia. If you have something to say then say it"
"I know you probably found out why I was locked up and that's why you don't want anything to do with me. But something else happened on The Ark;something involving Wells". Emilia spoke with conviction, a hollowness filling her chest as she turned to stare ahead. "And I don't know what it was, but it has you pretty pissed so if you need someone...".
Clarke stopped, sending a glare to Emilia as she growled "You don't know anything about me and clearly..." As Emilia came to erupt halt, Clarke stepped toward her. The dangerous glint in her eyes grew to be like ice as she continued "I never knew anything about you Ice Queen".
The brunette shuddered at the nickname she had been given on The Ark after her first run in with the guard. At the time, she had felt nothing about the name. It was just another thing for her peers to use against her. Then, her parents had begun to address her as Queenie when they thought she couldn't hear them. By the time, the name had finally reached her friend group, the nails had drilled themselves in the coffin of hatred.
"I've always been honest about who I am Clarke. I would never do anything to put anyone, let alone you at risk" Emilia sighed, feeling a pinch of irritation surge through her. "Tell me what I can do to fix this".
"There is nothing to fix!" Clarke barked, getting up in her face as tears threatened to spill from Clarke's eyes "The Ark's oxygen supply is failing. My dad found out about it and so to shut him up, the council floated him. You wanna know who told them about my dad? Wells! Wells killed my dad Emilia! Then to make it worse, the only other person I trusted was locked up for murder!"
"Clarke…" Emilia began, her voice trembling as she hurried to keep emotions in check. A realization dawned on her as the others approached. "Your father is dead?" she whispered as if the words burned on her tongue.
"Is that why they kept you in solitary?" Emilia heard Finn ask over the ringing in her ears.
Monty then rang out "They're going to kill more people, aren't they?"
The air became silent until Octavia snorted "Good. After what they did to my family, let them all get floated". Then young girl stomped past the group, Clarke following close behind with a huff.
She took a deep breath and willed herself to be strong "No one is dying" she said with conviction. Once everyone looked at her, she gritted out "We will find a way to warn them". She turned and followed after the duo, stopping just short at a sight more beautiful than anything she had seen on Earth so far.
"Well damn" The young woman thought as she took in Octavia's athletic frame. The girl in question had stripped down to only a navy tank top and standard coal underwear, moving towards the edge of a river bank
"I love Earth" She heard Jasper mutter beside her, knocking Emilia out of her daze.
She couldn't help the chuckle that escaped her as she patted her friend's shoulder and said "Put your tongue back in your mouth Jas".
"Octavia, what the hell are you doing?" Clarke exclaimed as Octavia dove into the water.
The remaining five stood on the edge of the rocks and stared as Octavia stood up in the water.
"Come on guys! The waters fine!" Octavia declared with a bright smile, making waves with her hands as she glided her finger-tips through the water.
"There isn't supposed to be a river here!" Clarke huffed with a glance back at the map.
Emilia glanced at her friend with a grim smile and couldn't stop herself before she said "Princess, I love you more than life and your dedication to the cause is great" Slipping her shoes off, She looked to the group for confirmation before she going back to Clarke "But if you don't take your damn cloths off, I'm pushing you in" Turning away, she took a peep back at the water.
As she grew ready to jump in, her eyes caught sight of a shadow in the water. It rested towards the rocks for a moment before it began its descent towards the clueless beauty in the water.
"Octavia! Get out of the water now!" Emilia screamed out as she raced to the water's edge.
Octavia gave the girl a puzzled expression before her eyes widened in fear. Soon after, her body was being turned and she was sinking into the water. Everyone turned and scanned the water for any sign of Octavia. Her scream pierced the air as she was finally allowed to gasp for air; the creature slithering back in the young woman's direction.
Emilia sprang into action and began pushing on a boulder "Guys! Come help distract this thing" She shouted in frustration.
The rest of the group rushed to her side and pushed the rock into the river. The snake-like beast slithered towards the rock. Without hesitation, Emilia jumped into the water."Octavia kick your legs towards the shore" She shouted as she swam as quickly as she could to the injured girl.
Emilia threw her arm around Octavia's waist and dragged her to the shore just as the creature circled back to them. It snipped at their feet, but they were just far enough for it to miss.
Emilia took a deep breath as their group came to their sides. Doing a quick scan of Octavia's body, she saw the young girl's leg was bleeding. She hurried a motion for Jasper to come to her side. Tearing a piece of his shirt off, she made haste to tie the bandage around the leg wound.
"You okay Octavia?" She huffed out once she was sure the bandage was secure.
Octavia threw her arms around Emilia, hugging her tightly "Thank you! Thank you!" she kept whispering frantically.
Emilia chuckled nervously "I got you"
"Note to self, next time, save the girl" She heard Monty say in an amused tone.
Emilia pulled away, offering a tender smile "Looks like you're going to be fine". Then she turned towards Monty "How about you save her from hypothermia and go get her clothes?"
Monty laughed to himself "Okay Fox" He said before turning to sprint towards her cloths.
"If you fall, I'm letting that thing eat you!" Emilia scoffed after him.
HEY EVERYONE!
