You are here... so somebody is still reading this? :O :D Good morning/afternoon/night everybody! Ok, so this chapter is a bit short (again) I just wanted to show Raven's perspective to see how things are working with her, and... that's all. Enjoy!
The sun had been out for an hour when the small group arrived to the crash site. The trees and grass were burnt several feet around the center of the collision, the ship was scattered through the field but there were some parts missing that could have fallen off during the fall.
Raven was looking at the main engine trying to find something useful but her eyes kept going back to the several burnt corpses. She couldn't help but think back to the last time she had been Mrs. Griffin, how she had faced the guards to give her more time to escape. If they had had more time, she would still be alive. But you didn't, and now it's too late. She willed herself out of the "What ifs" and focused on the work at hand, finding the black box but that too was proven to be futile. Chances were high it had fallen somewhere else with the rest of the ship.
She looked away from the broken engine to Clarke standing in the middle of the crater she was looking around, occasionally stopping when she spotted a corpse and then continue on her search. Raven remembered the gossips she had heard back in camp, how Clarke unwillingness to talk to her mom was because she had sentenced her father to death. Now she was gone, and she couldn't imagine how she felt.
Her eyes found Finn, he was looking at Clarke too. Every time I look at him, he's looking at her.
Yesterday night when they had seen the crash crazy theories started taking shape, how it had been the grounders and that maybe even Jaha was on it, most people agreed it would be a blessing. Raven had been talking with Finn, well more like arguing, when he suddenly turned stiff, his eyes fixed on a spot behind her shoulder. She turned around to see Bellamy and Clarke enter the camp. She hadn't remembered that Abby was supposed to be on that ship until she saw her daughter, her head held high but her eyes and cheeks slightly red. She discussed a few more things with the co-leader and then headed to the ship, Bellamy watched her go until she entered it. Most people watched her go silently, pity written on their faces and to her surprise, raven was not surprised when Finn dropped the argument they had been having and ignored her to go play hero. It still pissed her off, and it still hurt. The face he gave when Bellamy stopped him had been priceless and a little part of her had wanted Finn to go to Clarke just to see him been turned down.
Raven looked away from Finn and into the forest. Earth was so different from everything she had ever known, even Finn her hero. She had to believe it was just the change, the excitement, the lost and the new world they had faced what had driven him to Clarke's arms, otherwise she had to agree that Finn, her hero, her friend, was starting to make her sick.
