The dropship lands with a loud thud on the forest floor. Everyone is silent, slowly one by one start moving wondering what they’re supposed to do now; there’s confusion all around. Clarke is the first to come close to the door and places her hand on the lever but then she stops when someone yells, “Wait! Will we be able to breathe?” She doesn’t answer because she doesn’t know. She suddenly feels a presence behind her and when she turns around she sees an alpha behind her. He has black eyes and a warm smile on his face.
“Well, you’re definitely exactly like how Ash described,” he says as he extends his arm to shake hers. “Hi, I’m Bellamy, Ash’s -”

“Big brother!” Clarke exclaims excitedly, as she watches a frown slowly appear on his face. “No, I mean Ash usually says that you are like her big brother; that’s what I meant to say,” she hurriedly explained. “Yeah, that’s true,” he says smiling and at the same time remembering his conversation with Marcus and Ash just before he left.

Uncle Marcus came to see him while he was at home and told him that 100 juvenile delinquents will be sent to the ground and Octavia was one of them. Bellamy didn’t want and said as much but Marcus just looked at him and said, “It’s for the best if she goes, there’s a chance she will live. Here when she turns 18 …. well you know so I want to avoid that. Can you understand me please?” Bellamy just nodded because he knew uncle Marcus was right; Octavia would be floated when she turned 18 but on the ground, there was a chance she could live. “Listen Bellamy, I want you to go with her. I will create a distraction and I want you on that dropship so you can go with her. I made a promise to your mother that my family will look out for her children and this is the best way I can think of to honour that. I don’t want anything to happen to you sister, so, you and her will go to the ground and I want you to take care of her until Ash and Raven can get to you all okay. They’ll be going about a week after you leave so keep an eye on the sky for them,” Marcus told him. Bellamy could see that there was more but he didn’t want to ask, at least not ask uncle Marcus but he’ll definitely be asking Ash and Raven when they meet again. A while after uncle Marcus left there was another knock on his door so he went to answer it and ushered Ash inside.

“So, I guess that you know what is happening right?” she asked him.

“Yeah, we’re going to the ground to give Octavia and the others a chance to live,” he said, intently looking at her eyes to see if there was something that maybe Ash wanted to say.

“Yes well, that’s true but I came to ask you for a favour, Bell. There’s someone that’ll be going as well, she’s an omega. Her name is Clarke Griffin. She has blonde hair and blue eyes and quite frankly, she’s stubborn and bull headed but I need you to look out for her until I can make it to the ground please,” Ash seriously said. “Can you do that for me?” she asked just a little hesitantly.

“Ash, is she the young girl you often spoke about; the one you said was like a little sister?” he asked curiously.

“Yes, she is Bell. She’s my Uncle Jake’s kid and she’s a little feisty so don’t push her buttons too much okay,” she said, smiling at the thought of Clarke.

“Okay, count on it,” he told her. Before she left she turned around and told him, “She kinda reminds me of Raven. How crazy is that ? They have almost the same attitude.” He just looked at her and shook his head and chuckled lightly. “An omega like Raven?” he thought to himself. He definitely couldn’t see that!

There was no mistaking who Clarke Griffin was Bellamy thought as he watched Clarke hurriedly try explaining herself. “It's nice to meet you Bellamy, now the only person I haven’t met is Raven. Ash said good things about her,” Clarke comments as she shakes Bellamy’s hand. He just smiles at her. “Well it's just a matter of time Clarke before you meet her,” he thinks to himself.
