Hey guys!
So the chapters are probably going to have more than just one or two points of view as I want to add more emotion and have more depth for the storyline/characters. I feel it might make the story more interesting to write, and more interesting to read. Just as the show has I'm thinking close to five different story lines going... I really do hope you guys will still read and still enjoy the fiction :) If not let me know either PM or comment.
Thank guuuuyes
Nova's Point of View
Standing there staring at Anya as she sit behind the cage I slowly began to realize and understood what Maya was trying to tell me all those times. Trying to keep me in line, trying to tell me to behave… this is where I probably would have ended up if I hadn't listened to her. She was just trying to protect me.
Her people where monsters, I couldn't understand why they where doing this to my people. Sure we where savages, sure we were a bit brutal when it came to outsiders. But this was something else, none of the people in these cages where warriors. A handful where but most of them where villagers.
I looked over at Clarke who had a clear expression of fear painted on her face. She stood up walking away to look for something leaving me alone with Anya. She looked at me pain filling her eyes, kneeling down to face her better she took my hand. "Get out of here Nova. While you still can, you can't trust the Sky people… they are just like the mountain men." She told me in our peoples language.
Clarke came back with some sort of metal rode pushing it between the lock forcing it to open. She then tried pulling Anya out of the cage when the doors key alarm went off. "Someone's coming Clarke." I told her anxiously.
Clarke then pushed Anya back into the cage seeing the door open, grabbing me pulling me into the cage with them. "Clarke if they see me—" I started to say as she covered my mouth pushing me back more so I was behind her.
The Dr. Tsing began to move closer to us I tried to keep myself quiet in the hopes she wouldn't notice that Clarke or I where in here. We had to get back to medical soon, other wise they would know we where in here or snooping. I didn't have any more strikes or chances if I was bad one more time they would put me in here with all my the doctor left Clarke pushed open the door and pulled me out as I helped her with Anya. "Nova." Clarke said quickly as I looked over to her.
"Give me Anya, and get back to medical." She almost seemed to order me.
"Our people, I cannot leave them in here knowing what's happening to them." I snapped at her, "these are mine and Anya's people Clarke… you wouldn't leave your people like this if it where them."
She put her hand on my shoulder; "Anya and I will get your people out of here… I need you to stay here to keep mine safe. Please Nova… do this for me… we will come back for you." Clarke pleaded.
"I will come back for you with our army, Nova these people will suffer." Anya said to me again in our people's languages. I nodded, before walking away from the two of them as they made their way towards and exit door. I crawled back through the vent putting the cover back over and walking back over to the bed they had laid me on. Not before smacking my head against the side bar hopefully leaving me a black eye, or a busted lip. I would need a good story as to why I didn't know where Clarke was, and to ensure they knew I wasn't involved.
Kane's Point of View
Kneeling on the ground the last place I had seen Rayne I looked around for any trace that she had been hurt. Knowing she wasn't here to be in my care scared me. I had just got her back, just got her to accept me into her world, as her dad. Only for her to vanish without a trace, with some boy who was bound to get her killed.
Deep down I knew Abby had something to do with this; she had to have helped them leave. Had to be the one who gave her the weapons, lead them away from the camp without being seen. Someone would have told me if they saw Rayne wondering around.
Most of the guards knew I had her locked up in here for a reason. Her being in here with Bellamy and John was the only way I could insure she wouldn't let them go free. Her being locked in here only left Abby as the person who would be behind this.
"Prisoners were last seen at lights out," The Major began to explain. "So, they must've left sometime in the past six hours."
"I hope you aren't including my daughter in this list of prisoners." I said my voice above a whisper.
"I was refereeing to anyone locked up in this room, Sir." She responded, clearly waiting for me to stand and face her.
She did deserve my attention with the current situation, however my entire mind and body was completely focused on finding my child. Just as it was when I was on the Ark, as it was when we got to Earth.
"It's safe to say they headed for their drop ship, but we'll put Davis on the search team just to be safe." She continued. "He taught Earth skills. He's dying to get some practical-"
A part of me wanted to believe Major Byrne was genuinely concerned for the safety and well being of Rayne and the other one hundred kids who landed. However something in my gut told me she cared very little about anyone outside of this camps currently well-being. Abby I could at least relate to, talk to, trust.
Whenever it came down to needing to know how to handle Rayne, Abby always knew what to do. I could be there for her when she talked about finding Clarke, even though I would always prevent her from doing so. She had to understand she was much better off in this camp, where should could help people.
I had enough people out in those woods looking for the kids, if Abby took off looking for Clarke. We would lose our medical expert; we would lose the one person everyone in this camp trusted. She was better off here waiting for my men to bring Clarke back then running off to do it herself.
"We're not sending out a search team." Saying it killed me, I wanted to make sure Rayne was safe.
I hated to admit it but she was probably safer out there with Finn and Bellamy than she was in this camp. If anything Bellamy told me was true, this camp will become a target for grounder retaliations. At least out there she had the advantage of them not knowing where she was for now.
"That'll put even more lives at risk." I continued.
"But Sir, your daughter?" She asked, seemingly caring about the fact that I was condemning my own child.
"She will be fine. I can trust Bellamy will want to keep her safe. I'm more worried about finding the people who helped them…" I sighed.
"You wanted to see me?" Abby's voice crawled into my ear, causing the hair on my neck to stand tall. Turning around to look over at Abby who was standing not to far away from the Major.
Nodding at the Major to signal that she was dismissed; "Thank you, Major." I said softly to the woman.
She herself turned to look at Abby before she walked out the door leaving Abby and I alone in the room. Abby stood there staring at me like she knew the exact conversation that we were about to have; her face was stone and expressionless. Her body language told me more than I needed to know when it came to her want to be around me.
"Tell me it wasn't you." I asked her softly.
"You want me to lie to you Marcus?" She asked me as I just let out a deep sigh.
Scoffing and shaking my head I looked to the ground quickly before looking right back up at her. "Are we really back to this?" I asked her.
"On the Ark, you did anything you wanted. Without a second thought about the consequences." I argued with her.
"On the Ark, I did what I need to do, and I was right." She countered me, "Just like now. Don't ask me how I can fight to find my child, and I wont ask you why you can't." She snapped at me.
"This has nothing to do with Rayne, Abby. This is about you letting prisoners go. Arming them. Those are serious crimes, Abby. As Chancellor, you can't expect me to just—" I started to say as Abby quickly cut me off.
"You weren't elected Chancellor, Marcus." She said taking in a deep breath. "You only got the job because Thelonious beat you to redemption." She whipped up before turning on her heel and walking right out of my sight.
I hated to admit it but she was right, I did only get the position as Chancellor because Jaha had sacrificed himself up in space. Had he stayed up there and allowed me to take his place then maybe things would be different. Probably not much different, the kids would still be missing; Rayne and the others would still have run off looking for them. We would still have a grounder problem.
Rayne's Point of View
Walking through the forest behind Bellamy not saying a word till sunrise killed me. I knew they where upset and wanted to find the others. I do to; of course I wanted to find the others. Yet this horrible unforgiving silence between this group was getting to me.
"How much farther to the drop ship do you think?" I asked Bellamy softly rushing forward to catch up with him.
"We're not headed there, we're going to the grounder base." He explained turning to look at me, Murphy doing the same.
I just nodded, "Oh that's right… I forgot." I said my voice faltering.
"Trouble in paradise? Wouldn't have been that way with me, would it have Ray?" Murphy chuckled to himself.
Bellamy stopped in his tracks stopping the entire group from walking. He shook Murphy hard almost pushing him to the ground, glaring into the boy's eyes. Punching him square in the jaw, causing Finn to rush closer to them. "You don't speak to her, you don't look at her and hell don't even think about her." Bellamy snarled at the boy as Finn approached.
"We don't have time for this! We need to find the others." Finn raised his voice.
We continued to walk through the woods, Finn leading the way with Bellamy and I behind him. Closely followed by Murphy and the others. The sun was finally full mast into the sky; it had been an hour or so since the altercation between Bellamy and Murphy. Things seemed to have calmed down from the fight earlier in the morning.
"All right, Murphy. Where to now?" Bellamy asked him stopping in a small clearing before turning to look at him.
"What say we lose these first, huh?" Murphy asked raising his arms that where still held together by the restraints.
"No way, not after this morning. Again." Bellamy sighed.
"If we get attacked out here, I have nothing to defend myself with. What if you're busy being attacked who's going to protect her?" Murphy asked him nodding towards me.
"I can handle myself." I piped in quietly.
"You can't" Murphy said staring me down.
"I don't care if you can't defend yourself, and don't worry about who is looking after Rayne, because I will be." Bellamy began to argue like a child causing me to roll my eyes looking over at the approaching Finn who looked just as annoyed about this as I felt.
He walked up to Murphy and cut the restraints on his wrists before looking over at me. "Rayne is a tough girl, she is more than capable of protecting herself. I've seen her do it plenty of times; she has… the same strength as Clarke. Give her some credit, we don't have time for this." Finn scoffed before walking off.
"Thank you!" Murphy shouted out.
Bellamy stormed away from Murphy and I heading towards Finn. Murphy looked up at me, his face softening. "I'm sorry Rayne, I really don't mean to talk down to you… I just you… you know I don't like Bellamy he isn't good for you. He's going to get us all killed." He said to me.
"John, he has done fine so far. You know I love him, why can't you just let that be… why do you have to make things more strained then they already are? If you two just stopped fighting we could all start working as a team."
Murphy rolled his eyes, "The day Bellamy and I look at each other and the word friend comes to mind will never happen Ray... never." He told me quickly as he and I began to rush forward to catch up with Bellamy and Finn.
"So, do I get a gun now?" Murphy asked him sarcastically.
Bellamy put his hand behind Murphy's shoulder roughly pushing him forward before turning to face me. "I'm sorry about all that Rayne… I know you can protect yourself. I just… I hate him, he nearly got us all killed." Bellamy said to me sounding just like Murphy had a few moments ago.
"Well we all have to work together now Bells… it's the only way we're going to survive or find the others…" I told him rubbing his arm as he nodded to me. "Doesn't mean I have to like him, or care when he dies." He mumbled to me as he tossed his arm around my shoulder pulling me in close.
Nova's Point of View
"Nova?" I heard my voice being called opening my eyes to see Dr. Tsing and the President standing over top of me. They both looked shockingly concerned for me, which wasn't something I would have expected to see from either of them.
"Are you alright child?" Wallace asked me.
I sat up putting my hand to my head slowly moving my head to say no, "I remember coming in here because of the fall and Clarke began to ask me a bunch of strange questions, then… I woke up." I began to lie to them.
Telling them how I found their secret blood stash of my people wasn't something I was willing to start talking about. It would only get me killed. The president helped me sit up properly, sitting next to me trying to look over at me.
"Did Clarke say anything about where she might be going or what she might be doing?" He asked me.
"No…" I said shaking my head, "She just when I tried to stop her from touching the soldier she hit me…" I said softly as I watched the two of them exchange looks before he finally stood up helping me up with him.
"That was good of you to try and protect him Nova. Clarke is a very dangerous, very disturbed young lady. You can go get dressed and have breakfast with the others now." He told me as they both began to leave leading me back to the room with clothing in it for me to put on.
Once I was dressed I walked towards the elevator to the lower level and began to head towards the dining hall when I saw both Jasper and Monty standing in the hallway talking. To each other almost in a hushed tone, I arched my brow before walking towards the two boys trying to figure out what it was they where talking about.
"What if she's in trouble?" Monty asked his friend.
Jasper let out a deep sigh, "Trouble? It's Clarke. Whatever she's up to, I'm sure she can handle it." He told Monty before waking away.
"Hey, Monty right?" I asked him curiously as I walked up to him from behind him.
"Hey, Grounder girl." He said smiling at me.
"Nova." I chuckled.
"I know, still a pretty cool name." He sighed.
"Is everything all right? Looked a bit intense from back there." I said to him as he just shrugged his shoulders, "Did you want to get breakfast with me?" He asked me.
Smiling at him I nodded; "Sure of course, apparently today is Belgium Waffles and fruit." I told him as he chuckled.
"What is a Belgium Waffle? What makes it so much different from other waffles?" He continued to joke, clearly avoiding telling me what it was that was going on between him and Jasper.
I just laughed rubbing the back of my head, "I have no idea I just know the last time they made them, I asked what it was and the cook said 'Belgium Waffles' so I just assumed anything that looks like this is what a Belgium Waffle is." I explained.
"I forgot grounders don't eat the same food as these people."
I shrugged as we stood in the line to get our meals. "Yea no, I mean I have been known to make a pretty damn good roasted boar." I joked.
"Roasted boar really?" He asked. "Please tell me you at least boiled vegetables for the side."
I laughed putting the food on my plate, "No, Lincoln was always really in charge of bringing in the food. I only cooked it because Anya taught me how to cook." I told him proudly.
"You know Lincoln and that crazy grounder woman?" He asked me as he walked me over to the table sitting down next to me.
"Lincoln is my brother, biologically. We had the same mother and father. They died when I was younger. Anya and her people took Lincoln and I in, they say he betrayed our original clan. Doing what he never told me but I assume it was horrible since they had me banned too just because I am his sister." I explained to him.
"Wow, I guess yea… I can see the resemblance you two have." He smiled.
"You really aren't like the other grounders. You are a lot nicer." He chuckled.
I began to poke at my meal, "Yea we aren't all bad." I told him popping one of the cubed watermelons in my mouth.
