Chapter 4: The day after
Clarke woke up, when the first light came through the window. She lpoked over to the other bed. Madi was still sleeping. Clarke smiled. MadI looked so peaceful now. Clarke checked her watch and it was nearly 6am. She got out of the bed as quiet as possible and left the room. Clarke was straving so she made her way into the kitchen. She looked for food. In a basket,she found some bread and on the table was a bowl with fruits. She grabed the bowl and started cutting the fruits on the counter. She also cutted some of the bread.
She was completely focues on her task. She turned around and nearly jumped when she saw madi sitting at the table. She just sat there in her dirty white dress and looked at clarke. "I'm sorry. I just didn't hear you. You scared me for a second." Clarke was surprised by the little laugh that came from madi. "I know. I tried to be extra quiet with my feet." Madi giggled again and clarke couldn't help but smile.
She was surprised that madi looked like she was in a good mood. She had expected that madI would be in a bad mood after yesterday but she also didn't want to remind madi about it. "Are you hungry?" Clarke asked and madi dodded heavily. Clarke laughed and placed the two bowls on the table. Madi grabed some bread and fruit the minute clarke had placed it on the table. Clarke smiled at her again. "Are you from the sky?" Madi asked after a while. Clarke froze a little. Had madi heard about her? Clarke nodded lightly and madis smile grew bigger. "Did you live in the clouds?" Clarke laughed. "No,madi. I didn't. I lived on a huge ship in space." She replied. "Could you see the stars?", madi asked with a full mouth. Clarke smile grew even bigger.
She grabed more berries and put a handful in her mouth. "How old are you, madi?" Clarke asked curious. "This is my sixth summer." Madi answered. Clarke was really surprised because madi looked way younger than 6. She was just small. "Wow" Clarke whisperd and she saw another smile on madis face. Clarke didn't want to ask and hurt madi with it but she also needed to know what had happened yesterday.
" Why were you under the floor?", clarke slowly asked. She could literally see madis smile disappear. "My blood is special", madi pointed at her wounded knees. "There are people out there who want to take me because of it. Flaimkepas", madi looked scared again and that hurt clarke. "My mommy always said that if they get me they will hurt me and I can't be a kid anymore. So whenever the flaimkepas came, my mommy put me into the hole in the floor so they wouldn't find me." Clarke felt the rage growing in her chest. Did they kill all of those people? Did they kill madis parents? She saw a tear fall down madis cheek.
Clarke stood up and kneelt in front of madi. "Hey, look at me!" She said in a soft voice. Madis green eyes met clarkes. Clarke sighed when madis eyes reminded her of lexas eyes. They looked the same. She shook her head to get rid of the thought. "They won't get yout, madi! You are safe. I won't let them take you. Never." Clarke looked deep into madis eyes. Then madi suddenly jumped up and hugged clarke tight. She placed her face on clarke's neck. Clarke stiffened for a moment but relaxed quickly and placing both arms around madi.
They stood there for a couple seconds before madi pulled got up and now madi stood in front of her and looked up into her face. Then she hugged clarkes legs and said:" thank you, clarke!" Clarke smiled. Madi got back on to her chair and took another piece of bread. She started eating again. Clarke smiled again and knew that she would do anything to protect this little pumpkin.
