Chapter 7

- Clarke's view -

Suddenly I heard a kind of not natural sound somewhere, maybe a few kilometers away. I saw how birds flew in my direction away from the sound. Why hadn't I not noticed something? I was exploring everything around here. Strange. I picked up some of my stuff that laid around me and put it in my jacket and started to walk in the direct which the birds came from. While I was walking or jogging the sky colored darker and darker and the red sky turned into purple and later the purple turned to a blue.

In my stomach I felt that I was almost there. I did not hear anything at that moment, only my brisk breath and the blood in my veins. And when I started to walk with less speed I reached a glade in the small forest.

My breath stopped.

My heart stopped.

My life stopped for a moment.

I saw a rocket… no, really, I saw I rocket. The door was opened, but no one was out here. I moved to the opening and looked in there, but there was no one either. Had it been always here, I asked myself. No. Impossible. I would have had noticed it for sure. So someone had moved to the earth? I stepped once or twice around the whole thing. It was well made and looked very fine. I did not remember of what it had reminded me, but it was looking a kind of familiar.

Well, if that huge and heavy piece of metal was here, someone must be here too, I thought at that moment. Strange. In the direction I came from I had not seen anyone so the people, or maybe aliens (just kidding), were forced to go in the other one, north, or may west or east. God damn it. These beings would be the first ones I will be able to talk to and so I had to find them. I looked in the three directions. On the west side was a really terrifying forest and on the east side too. In the north was forest too, but it looked kinda lighter. So the humans supposing walked there. It was already dark, very dark. The sky was nearly black and only the moon lightened the world a but up. Though it was not comfortable to walk through the shadows of the forest. My steps were fast. I tried to catch them up as soon as it was possible for me.

I do not know for how long I had been walking but at one point I heard voices…

- Bellamy's view -

We just landed on earth. My heart was beating for a long time that fast as it did now. I had the feeling that my heart would jump and escape my chest. It was filled with so much hope of seeing Clarke again.

We stepped out of our rocket as the sun was going down. It was so beautiful to see. Not just the sun from this point of view, but also the trees, mountains and just the earth. When I was standing outside I was kinda afraid of taking a breath but I did and felt the oxygen floating through my lungs. Real oxygen, not the filtered one.

We looked at each other. John, the one who was born in the sky, was just exactly looking like the pack of us, when we were sent to earth to die a long long time ago. But he was here to live.

I walked a bit and watched out where we could go. The nothern way seemed good and so we started to walk just through the young forest. It became darker all the time but that shadows of the night did not stop us. We walked on. Fascinated and happy at the same time to be here again. The last time I walked on real ground was when I ran away from death. I do not know how long we were walking but at one moment John seemed really exhausted and so we decided to stop. The moon was already filling the sky of the night with silver and white light.

We found a small place surrounded by a few trees and some high grass. Because of our anxiety that someone or something could find us, we did not make a fire and just laid down. The most of us had fallen asleep when Raven asked me, "Bellamy, do you sleep?" and I moved my hand to show her that I was not. I surmised a smile rushing over her lips. "What if we will find her?" she said. "Do you think, that we can be as close as we were before with her, after all that time? I mean, so much happened, we changed and she did too, if she survived. Not if. She did it." I heard a kind of care and insecurity in her voice. "Raven. We all know Clarke. She survived everything. All battles and every crisis. She lives." I tried to give her hope, but deep in my soul I knew that she may is dead.
