I'm so sorry this is late, I had to travel to London this week and stupidly forgot my laptop so I didn't have any finished chapters, my notes were also left at home :( I promise to try my hardest to get the next chapter out by Wednesday night, love you all.


The radio lies disassembled in front of me, Raven always starts from the beginning when she's unsure so I may as well try.

Madi - a young nightblood from the Louwoda Kliron Kru, sits at a distance watching me, she has a look of confusion etched on her face.

I had found her three days ago while searching the forest, she was hiding behind trees and bushes, when I first saw her I was ecstatic that I wasn't alone.

She had attacked me then, not understanding why her clan was dead and I wasn't. Only stopping when I shouted "Nou, ai baby" stop, my baby, she had understood trigedasleng but had then cut me and seen my blood, running away quickly.

All her family were dead, she had no one.

The next day I went down to the river, Madi was there fishing, I had tried speaking to her but she ran away again, I left her a drawing hoping that she would see it and understand I wasn't there to hurt her.

After that day she had taken to shadowing me, watching what I did, and yesterday Madi had stopped me from eating poisonous berries, she didn't exactly tell me, she had smacked then out of my hands and growled.

Now she's sat opposite me as I reassemble the radio, screwing the antenna on, it starts to make some noise, hopeful I quickly finish turning it to the ark frequency, scrambling to pick it up and start speaking into the receiver "Ark, come in, this is Clarke Griffin, please be there"...


Octavia

Its madness, complete and utter madness.

It started when rumbling and crashing was heard above us, we haven't heard from Clarke but Kane tried opening the hatch, we're stuck and there is no way out.

I knew there would be tension between the clans but what happened next I never expected. One of the farmers had come to me to tell me the food would not last for the amount of time and people we had.

When trying to come up with solutions Abby had said forcing an algal bloom for more food would possibly infect the food we already had.

Someone had then overheard, someone from skaikru, they had then taken Abby and Kane and locked themselves into the dinning hall and kitchen, where the farm was. The rest of the bunker is cut off, no food and more than half of the people outside and they were hungry.

Hungry people made desperate people, and desperation can cost lives.

I don't know what to do, I wish I could speak to Bellamy or even Clarke, they would know what to do, they always did.


Bellamy

Raven had come up with a plan, a crazy and dangerous plan that could actually work, we had just about enough fuel left in Becca's rocket to fly up to some asteroids, Monty had spouted out with something about them being able to be converted into fuel.

The only problem was that we had the shortest window of time to do it, the asteroids would move in less than a day and there was no way to know when the next closest ones would arrive.

Emori was helping Raven repair the navigation inside the rocket, they'd been at it for days, Murphy had taken to sulking in his room and Echo tried to keep out of the way. Monty's algae had improved drastically, while it still tasted awful it didn't put anyone else in a near coma like state, Harper was the first to try the new batch, I wasn't allowed anywhere near it until it was deemed safe.

Once the rocket was fixed Raven and I would travel to the asteroids and tap them, collecting whatever Monty tells us to. We had to be quick, even now they were moving and would soon be out of range.

When we have the fuel all we have to do is wait, less than five years and I can see O again.

We've had silence from the bunker, not even the crackled voice responded, it could be radiation interference - that was what Monty said.

Slipping into my space suit I grab the helmet, it's not in bad shape considering the journey it's been through, and click it into place.

Making my way towards the rocket I pass Murphy's room and call out, "Murphy we're settling off soon, you need to help Harper and Monty close the hatch, oh and wear your suit."

The hatch wasn't made for Becca's rocket so we had to force it open, it needs to be manually closed and the pressure of space will make it difficult so we need everyone to contribute, I stop at Echo's room next and ask her the same.

By the time Raven and I are in the rocket, everyone else is ready to close the hatch, they're all grabbing on to something until the pressure inside is stable enough to close it

I barely hear Raven through the blood pumping in my ears, if we miss I won't ever see my sister again "..9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...and here we go."

We fall for a moment before Raven slowly turns towards the asteroids, we can't waste any of the fuel we do have so we have to be careful.

It's painstakingly slow, about an hour until we reached them, we have lines attaching us to the rocket as we scrape and chip at the asteroids.

By the time we have five small boxes of asteroid bits we've barely made a dent, it takes a long time and we're both exhausted by the time the rocket is forced back into the hatch, Monty's there with a repair kit to temporarily weld the rocket to the ark.

Harper rushes forward and hugs me, I raise my eyebrows in confusion, Monty smiled at me as Raven shares my confusion. I am dragged towards the radio and hope flares up inside me, had O contacted us?

No. That voice isn't O, it's Clarke.


I feel so evil leaving it here but cliffhangers leave you wanting more right? Love Liya xx
