I stood with my arms crossed outside the dropship. "So basically, we have no contact with the ark?" I asked, and Wells nodded. I groaned and ran my fingers through my hair. "Thats great news," I spat. Clarke smoothed down her map.
"See? Look, this is us," She said, pointing to a small marked place. Then she ran her finger down to the mountain marked Mount Weather. "This is where we need to get to survive." Nash looked at her in awe. I rolled my eyes at my love sick puppy brother. She could literally drink a glass of water and he'd be at her feet begging her to marry him. "Where'd you learn to do that?" Wells said, with a little bit of awe as well. Oh my god, I think everyone loves Clarke. Clarke looked down awkwardly with a bit of a scowl. "Your father.." He realized and trailed off and I shuffled a bit.
"Ah, cool, a map," One of geeky guys I saw on the dropship came up to us. "They got a bar in this town? I'll buy you a beer," He said to me and I snorted and patted him on the arm. "You tried," I said and he smiled. Then he turned his attention to Clarke and Wells suddenly pushed him a bit. "You mind?" He snapped.
"Oh, hey, hey, hey hands off him! He's with us," Some guy said, walking up to Wells like he owned the place. He had a smirk on his face, that was laced with confidence and I wasn't sure if I liked this guy or not. "Hey, it's cool, we're fine. If he's with you though, you need to teach him a few better pick up lines," I smiled at what looked like the leader. He chuckled back and shook his head. I'm okay with him now, I guess.
"We're just trying to figure out where we are," Wells said and then the guy had a dark look, covered with another smirk.
"We're on the ground. That not good enough for you?" Bellamy said from across the camp, and he did have a point, but we needed food. Then again, we could just hunt. "We kinda need to find Mount Weather," I said and the other guy semi glared at me. I think he liked me, but really didn't like people disgreeing with him. "You heard my father message, that has to be our first priority," I cringed. That was the wrong thing to say Wells.
"Screw your father. What, you think your in charge here, you and your little princess?" Octavia snapped at them both. We now had the attention of the whole group. "I'm pretty sure thats my title," I said and Octavia flashed me a sheepish grin. My eyes flickered to her brother who had his eyes completely on me and he looked as if he was debating to step in. I sent a smile his way and he sent a small smile in return and looked down. "Do you think we care who's in charge? We need to get to Mount Weather, not just because the Chancellor said so, but because the longer we wait, the hungrier we get and harder this will be!" Clarke said, and a few people actually backed down a bit. Clarke always had that effect on people.
"How long do you think we'll last without those supplies? We're looking at a 20-mile trek, ok? So if we want to get there before dark, we need to leave now," Nash said and I looked at him in shock and pride. It was one of the things that made me realise he wasn't a little boy anymore that I would shelter and stop from leaving. He was always so desperate to go outside, an it hurt me inside to not be able to let him.
"I got a better idea," Bellamy finally said, and I knew this was not heading in a positive direction. "You four go find it for us, let the privileged do the hard work for a change." I was seething, privileged? Really?
"Privileged? Thats what you think we are? Being the 'privileged' ones doesn't mean we've never had to put effort into anything," I growled and Bellamy looked like he was going to say something, but Wells interrupted him. "The point is you're all not listening, we all have to go," Wells said and then the shark faced guy pushed him(Idk Murphy always looked like a shark to me) forwards into me. "Look at this everybody, Chancellor of Earth," The guy smirked and I rolled my eyes.
"What are you? The chancellor of stupidity?"
"Think your funny princess?"
"Yeah, I think I'm pretty funny. What about you?" I smirked and then pushed him. He got right up in my face and then Wells pushed him away from me. I felt slightly offended, did I not look like I could handle myself? The guy floored Wells and he landed with his foot twisted, making me cringe. He probably wouldn't be able to walk for another couple of days. A lot of jeering went on and I crossed my arms. This was just childish.
Wells stood up again and got into a fighting stance, making the guy laugh. I really needed to know his name. I leaned over to the girl closest to me, I think her name was Willow, and asked her. Apparently, his name was John Murphy, which did seem a vaguely familiar name, but to be honest, there weren't that many people on the ark. Then Finn jumped down and stood in front of Murphy and a lot of people sounded disappointed. "Kids got one leg, how about you wait until it's a fair fight?" He sneered. I rolled my eyes yet again because there was no doubt Finn Collins was a pacifist.
"Hey spacewalker!" Octavia grinned, "Rescue me next."
