Book 2
Author's note: Hey guys, I just want to thank everyone who is reading the story and please don't forget to review! I can't improve without feedback but I'm still trying. So I just want to fill you guys in on where my head is at for this chapter. As you may know, the last chapter from 'Book 1' told the story of how Bellamy and Clarke came to be, the beginning of this chapter 'Book 2' has a huge time jump that I hope to fill in as I go, but if you guys have certain questions you's want to be answered in the chapters, feel free to send them through. Keep in mind this is going to be heaps different from the beginning of my story, however, I have confidence that it won't be any less good. (I apologise for my bad English there.) Enjoy guys, don't forget to review!
Chapter 1
"Bellamy! We need rules! We need a society. We need to work together to stay alive!" Clarke yelled at Bellamy in front of the hundred.
"No, we don't. We don't have to follow anyone's rules anymore. We can do WHATEVER THE HELL WE WANT!" Bellamy yelled back, mainly to the crowd that was listening to the couple fight.
"Fine. Do 'whatever the hell you want' but I, I'm going to do what's best for everyone by going to Mount Weather to find supplies." Clarke stormed away from her husband and the roaring crowd. Clarke was mapping out the distance between where the dropship landed and where she needed to get to.
"Why are you so high strung? We landed on Earth Princess, take it in. Soak it up. Enjoy it." A boy said, jumping from the dropship to land in front of her. He was handsome, his hair dark brown and long, his face pace and more square than Bellamy's. He was the kid that got arrested for wasting three months of oxygen on an illegal spacewalk. The nickname he called her though, that annoyed her. That was Bellamy's nickname for her and the fact that someone else had called her that didn't feel right.
"Do you see that mountain over there?" Clarke pointed in front of them.
"Yeah?"
"That's Mount Weather. The Ark dropped us on the wrong damn mountain, now, there's a radiation-soaked forest between us and the supplies we need to live. Like food and water. How long do you think we can survive without those?" Clarke snapped.
"Clarke is right, we need to get to that mountain," Wells spoke, approaching the two.
"You're not coming," Clarke argued. She hated Wells, she believed he was the reason her father got floated and the reason that she and Octavia got floated. He was her best friend on the Ark before things changed…before she was married off and impregnated.
"But I am." Octavia approached the group of three, scanning Clarke's eyes for disapproval, finding none.
"Spacewalker, Octavia and I have it under control." Clarke snapped, not wanting to sound anything but rude and nasty.
"How are three people going to carry enough supplies back for one hundred?" Wells asked, hating that Clarke hated him. It was better for her to hate him than for her to know the truth though.
"There's five now." Spacewalker, whose real name was Finn, said as he pulled two men away from their conversation and over to his.
The two additions smiled, happy to help but very confused as to what was happening. Monty and Jasper. "Right, we have five. You wouldn't want to be the sixth wheel." Clarke spat before marching away. "Octavia, you don't have to come," Clarke whispered, folding up her map.
"Are you kidding me? My big brother is being a total dick and—" she paused to make sure no one could hear her before continuing. "And you're carrying my niece or nephew. There's no way I'm staying here. Plus, Spacewalker is cute." Octavia winked, making Clarke laugh.
"So, where are we going?" Jasper asked, making the group stop so Clarke could fill them in.
"Okay, yeah. I agree we need those supplies." Monty agreed and Jasper followed.
"Where do you think you're going?!" Bellamy yelled furiously, stopping the group in their tracks. Bellamy had run up and grabbed Clarke's arm, pulling her back towards the dropship. They'd gotten about five metres if that.
"Wherever the hell I want." Clarke spat, for the second time in a matter of minutes. She pulled her arm away from him and stormed off before he could stop her.
"Octavia, you're not going." He ordered, catching up to his sister who was by his wife's side.
"You can't stop me. You can try, but you'll lose." Octavia threatened, not letting him intimidate her.
The girls kept on walking, followed by the three boys. Everyone but Clarke was in astonishment by the trees and flowers. Monty even ate some of them, knowing what plants were what from growing up in the farming station. They found a river that wasn't on the map and Octavia instantly stripped down into her panties and singlet, jumping into the water. The rest of the group ran to the edge where she'd jumped from, no one knew how to swim.
"Get in Clarke, the water feels amazing," Octavia called, standing in the chest high water.
"We have to get to Mount Weather, we still need to make it back to the dropship before dark," Clarke called, hoping Octavia would get out and get dressed. It wasn't that Clarke wasn't excited and wanted to enjoy her surroundings, she had priorities and enjoyment came after finding supplies for survival.
"Octavia, get out of the water! Now!" Jasper called but it was too late, she'd been attacked by a sea serpent.
"Where're all the supplies, Princess?" Bellamy said in his snarky tone.
"We didn't make it inside Mount Weather." Clarke mumbled before he saw Finn and Jasper half carrying his little sister.
"What happened?" He yelled, and Clarke thought he sounded furious earlier.
"She went into a river and got attacked by a sea serpent. Jasper saved her." Clarke answered and Bellamy returned a scowl. "She saw water, she got in. We were all about to get in when it happened."
Bellamy didn't respond, he took his sister from the hands of Jasper and Finn and carried her back to the dropship. "You could have gotten yourself killed." He scolded. "What were you thinking O?"
"I was thinking there was a clear river, I could see the bottom. I wanted to get in, and I did. It was amazing Bell, I felt so free."
"Until you almost died."
"Well, yeah, until that happened but I didn't die and I'm okay. Ease up on Clarke, she doesn't deserve what you're throwing at her." Octavia advised, trying not to let her brothers fierce look frighten her into keeping her mouth shut.
"My relationship with Clarke is none of your business." Bellamy concluded, walking away from his sister. "By the way, you're not to leave camp again." He said over his shoulder.
