I hope you like it, Wells and OC
Job- Re purposing circulation. When people die on the Ark, all their possessions go to the re purposing center to be distributed among the living based on need. It was horribly macabre but it was all part of your job. And it was part of life, things needed to be recycled, reused so they wouldn't run out of resources. But you didn't like it. You knew the point in theory. But all that came to your mind was how greedy this really was. The worst part was watching the loved ones faces of the deceased as all the memories of their beloved were taken. It was absolute torture, unless you were a higher up you basically got to keep nothing. The worst day you've experienced on the job was when a little girl name Charlotte freaked out as the only memories of her dead parents were taken. She was already alone, but now… she had nothing, like her parents didn't even exist. You knew the feeling all too well. You hated re purposing. It was just another word for destroying to you. Disrespecting the deceased.
Reason for lock up- You watch Charlotte scream and kick and punch at the guards as they take her mothers clothes. You can't help it when you see a guard prepare to taser her. You lose it. You cannot believe they were really going to taser a little girl. In two steps you are in front of Charlotte and punching the guard in the face.
Best friend-Miller. Charlotte is scared of you. When you hit the guard for her you broke his nose. You did it for her but none the less you understand why she is scared. This was the Ark, people don't do violent things here. But Miller liked you. He understood. He grew very close and protective over you, as if you were family. Later you learn it's because he does consider you family. Miller had a younger sister, but she died from a virus. It was not something Miller ever talked about so it was hard for you to figure out but you did. And you became attached to him as he became the only family you had in seven years.
On the ground- You're not in awe. You look at all the trees and remember what you learned in history. How humans basically cut down almost all of them for materialistic things. You wonder how many decades it will take the people on the Ark to do the same. The same greed up on the Ark was bound to come down to earth. Two men died landing, no one seemed to care, they're greed for the scenery already overwhelming them.
Love interest- Wells Jaha. You hate him. He's one of the privileged. And you hate him for it. When his mother died he got to keep her things. He got to hold onto the memories of her. Unlike you, all because he was the Chancellor's son.
But he is the only one that seems to remember the two dead boys still in the drop ship with you. He takes them out one at a time and starts digging holes for them. You help because that's who you are.
It's silent until he starts taking off the boys clothing.
"What the hell are you doing!" screaming as you push him back from the bodies.
"Re purposing. We can use the extra clothing." he responds shocked.
There was that evil term that you hated so damn much. How dare he? He already had everything he ever wanted up on the Ark. Gifts of the dead. All re purposed items went through the higher class first. Every one else got the scraps. Now he's doing the same on earth. You slap him across the face as hard as you can and walk away.
First kiss- Wells takes the clothes back to camp and Atom tries to grab them. You watch, not shocked at all when the spoiled prince says no. You knew he wanted it for himself.
"No it goes to the ones who need it most! Some of these kids don't even have jackets Atom they will freeze!" He screams.
Your shocked. He's been so calm till now. Your shocked he's actually thinking about others. You respect him a little for it.
Bellamy grabs a shirt as Wells get's more mad.
"You want it back? Come and get it Bellamy taunts. Wells sighs and throws the rest of the clothes on the ground for a free for all.
There's a scream of pain as everyone goes to check what it is. It's Murphy torturing a girl. Before you know whats happening Wells and Murphy are in a full fist fight. Wells wins. But you see Murphy get out a knife. You can't believe how crazy things have gotten. Before you know it you run over and push Wells out of the way as Murphy lunges forward with the knife. Not that your all that fond of Wells but Murphy is a bat crazy asshole. You feel a sharp pain in your stomach as you fall on top of Wells. He looks like he's in shock.
"God dammit Murphy you got the girl" Bellamy says helping you up. You realize from pain that the knife is in you side. You let out a scream from the pain. Bellamy carries you to the dropship and Wells follows. He leans down by you trying to check the wound.
"You still believe there's nothing wrong with chaos?!" He yells at Bellamy as Bellamy sneers and walks out.
You're crying, you're scared out of your mind.
"Its ok, I'm going to wrap some cloth around it to stem the bleeding and keep it in place till Clarke gets here. She'll know what to do." He says trying to be calm. He takes off his shirt and rips it up. He starts to wrap it gently around the knife.
"...Aren't you going to need a shirt?" You ask. He's kind of hot. He's got nice muscles you must admit.
"You need it more right now. There's nothing else to use. So we have to make do and re purpose." he replies.
You cannot believe he just ripped up his only shirt for you. Re purpose huh…
You kiss him, maybe it's due from blood loss, maybe its from the sight of his muscles, maybe you are actually starting to like the spoiled prince. You don't know and you don't care. You feel like you're dying. Hell you most likely are dying. Might as well make the most of this. Re purpose this moment. Maybe… Just maybe...re purposing isn't that bad you think as you continue to kiss him..
