I don't need your help | Raven Reyes

pt21- Listen in

I felt a shift in weight next to me and I subconsciously rolled until I laid on my side. I heard a click and a bright light blinded me through my eyelids. "ughhhh..." I grumbled as I buried my face into the pillow. "Goodmorning to you too." Raven's voice whirled through my ears and instantly sent butterflies to my stomach. My eyes flickered open and after a moment I saw Raven sat on the edge of the bed looking back at me, a small grin lifted my lips at the memory of last night. She leaned down and kissed me softly for a moment before pulling away. "I need to get to work..." she said. "Now? What time is it?" I asked, desperate to keep her with me for just a little longer. She only had the duvet wrapped around her but she still looked just as gorgeous. "Seven. I don't think I'll be able to walk though..." I sat up and leaned against the headboard. "Is that because of your leg or because of me?" I joked and a soft blush rushed onto her cheeks. Her eyes began to scan the floor of my room, "Do you know where any of my clothes are?" She questioned. I shuffled to the edge of the bed opposite her and reached down to pick up her pants, I threw them at her which she didn't see coming and it hit her straight in the face. "Hey!" she complained scowling at me, I lifted my hands up in surrender, "Not my fault you have no reaction time!"

I leaned back down past the bed and found my shirt. When I sat back up a pillow immediately hit me across the face and sent me onto my back on the mattress. "Hey!" I looked up at the smiling Raven who was now crawling over to me, "Not my fault you have no reaction time..." She lifted her leg over my waist so she was now straddling me, her face slowly leaning down closer to me as I stared back up in awe. My hands lifted around her neck and I pulled her down connecting our lips into a quick kiss, she pulled away and spoke between pecks, "I need to go or I'll be late." Her hands pinned my shoulders down so I couldn't lean up to her as she pulled away. "Or you could just not go..." I suggested and she rolled her eyes as she climbed off of me. I watched as she pulled on her pants and then the rest of her clothes after searching the floor. After giving me one last kiss she rushed to the door, "I'll see you later?" I nodded and then she was gone.

I had been walking around camp aimlessly for hours, I didn't have a specific job I was good at and every time I offered to help with something I wasn't needed. "Aysel! There you are!" Bellamy called out from behind me, I stopped walking so he could catch up to me. "What's up?" I asked. "Equip up we are going out." He said now leading me towards the weapons tent. "What for?" "Raven found out mount weather is blocking our signal, we are going out with the guard to lead them there so Raven can blow the radio tower." He explained just as we made it to the tent. I was surprised when I was actually given a gun considering only trained guards could use them because they aren't 'toys'.

I couldn't fathom why my presence is needed on this mission, Raven was there to blow the tower, Clarke knew the way to get there and Abby was on medical duty whilst the guards kept their eyes on the trees. Finn, Bellamy and Octavia were also with us and from what I've heard Octavia is desperate to find her grounder boyfriend Lincoln who apparently was taken by the Reapers. I wasn't complaining that I had to come though because I don't think I couldn't stand another hour in the Ark. It was a couple hour walk to Mount weather and we carried backpacks with rations and tents just Incase.

I seemed to have walked near the front of the group without notice but I didn't want to slow down and freak out those behind me. I kept wanting to talk to Raven but every time I looked over she was busy talking to Abby or Clarke. For being shot less than a week ago she seemed to be improving impressively fast. She had a brace round her leg that helped her to walk but even with that I was astonished by the progress she made with her range of movement. She refused to show any sign of struggle but I could tell it was wearing her down.
