"Hey," Someone poked me in the arm. I groaned and weakly started opening my heavy eyes. "What?" I hissed, turning my head to see Wells. I gasped in surprise and then tried to decided whether to glare at him and hit him or hug him and tell him how much I love him. As a friend of course. I then realised I couldn't move anyway because I was strapped down. "Wells, what the hell are you doing here?" I asked and he looked to his left and I looked past him to see a familiar blonde. "Clarke?" I said, reaching out to tap her. She stared at me and then a grin slowly started to break out on her face. "Astoria?" She whispered and I nodded.
"Hey, Princess! Nice family reunion, oh wait! You thought you were more privileged with a brother and now you don't have any," A guy across this drop ship thing sneered. I growled and tried to undo my seatbelt to murder this guy. Who the hell did he think he is? That comment caused a lot of yelling directed at him, serves him right. Wells put an arm on my arm and I calmed down and sighed. "Don't you dare say anything like that to her again," Nash said, sat with these nerdy kids, and just as he was about to get out, the chancellor came on screen and they calmed down a little. A little as in, they stared at the tv in silent rage.
"Prisoners of The Ark, here me now. You've been given a second chance, and as your Chancellor, it is my hope that you see this as not just a chance for you, but a chance for all of us, indeed for mankind itself. We have no idea what is waiting for you down there. If the odds of survival were better, we would've sent others. Frankly, we're sending you because your crimes have made you expendable." I rolled my eyes. My 16 year old brother is expendable. A boy. "Wells, oh my god, I hate your dad," I said and he looked at me with a sorry expression. A few people laughed.
"The drop site has been chosen carefully. Before the last war, Mount Weather was a military base built within a mountain. It was to be stocked with enough non-perishables to sustain 300 people for up to two years-" That's when people started talking over it. I didn't really care to be fully honest. Anything the Chancellor was saying was bullshit anyway, no offence to Wells of course. "Spacewalking bandit strikes again," Someone yelled as a long haired guy started floating around the ship. A couple of people whooped and I realised that he was the guy that got arrested for literally talking space walks, so I guess spacewalker is very suitable. He went on Wells level and smirked. "Check it out, guess your dad really did float me after all," He smirked. I let out a low whistle and the boy looked at me up and down and then , well that's...Okay then.
"Hey princess, I'm Finn," He smiled at me, i rolled my eyes. Seems like quite a few people knew who I was.
"You should sit down before the parachutes deploy," Wells said, with a slight look of authority. I mentally sighed, he's not going to like earth if he thinks he's still the one in charge. "Hey, you two, stay put if you wanna live," Clarke said, glaring at the boy who yelled over to me earlier and the boy next to him. Clarke looked back at the screen, but I wasn't going to listen to someone who wanted us dead either way. If we die on earth- he doesn't care. If we die on the arc, guess what? He doesn't care.
Clarke and Spacewalker were talking, or flirting really, and I remember Raven saying something about her boyfriend spacewalking so I really hope this isn't him. The idiot who yelled at me started to get out of his seat as it got a lot rockier and I started feeling unsafe, not that I felt any kind of security in the first place. "Stay in your seats, you idiots!" I yelled as the ship made a creaking noise.
Suddenly, everyone got swung forwards and the ship flipped fro side to side, making the people in the air crash into the pipes and random things in the room. I hissed as a few sparks got on the exposed bits of my skin, burning it lightly. I heard Clarke yell to someone called Finn and I realised she meant the spacewalker. I was never really good at names. It felt like the parachute came out but we were definitely not going the right way. Clarke and Wells were talking about the drop ship and about what was happening to it. I looked over at Nash and he was already staring at me. "I love you, little brother!" I yelled across the room. "I love you, big sister! We won't die, don't worry," He yelled back, his voice broke slightly. He sounded unsure, I flinched. This girl was staring at me and I made eye contact, she nodded slightly in respect and I nodded back. I recognised her as Octavia Blake. The girl who was hidden under the floorboards. "I do hate you!" Clarke shouted and I realised Wells and her must have been talking about Jake Griffin, her father. I closed my eyes and sat up straighter, gripping Wells' hand so he would know that I didn't hate him. If I die, then at least I will after seeing my brother and my old best friends. Always a happy thought. No sarcasm there...At all...
I just closed my eyes and hoped for the best.
