Where We Come From ✅ [Complete]

Chapter 10: Crash and Found

The landing was tough; both girls are pretty beaten up but alive. Ash just has a few scrapes and scratches unlike Raven who has blood dripping down from the side of her head. She took a pretty good knock when the pod landed harshly on the ground. Laughing Ash says, “Hey Rae, we made it! Woohoo! We’re on the ground girl! We’re alive!” Raven is a little confused; the knock she got a while ago has her pretty much out of the loop of what’s happening. She sees Ash say something while laughing but it’s so muffled she can’t understand it. She wants to answer but everything hurts so she tries opening her mouth but no words come to her mind. Noticing that Raven is unwell, Ash gently cups her face. “Hey Rae can you hear me? Hey, talk to me,” a worried Ash says. She sees as Raven’s eyes roll at the back of her head and then close. “Hey Rae! Come on. Open your eyes! Raven? Raven!” Ash yells out as she shakes her best friend but her head just falls on Ash’s shoulder. “Fuck! I need to get out so I can get help,” Ash mutters to herself as she tries to lift the lever so that they can come out but it’s stuck. After minutes of fighting with the lever, there is still no progress; they’re stuck inside the pod. “I have to find a way out before we suffocate,” Ash thinks to herself. She tries to break the glass on the door but it’s no use. She’s been at this for the past two hours, now she's getting desperate. "Come on please! Please! ¡Ábrete, coño! [Open, fuck!]" she cries out as she continues with all the strength she has left. Raven has been unconscious for the past two hours and that's not good. She knows that Clarke has some knowledge of medicine and could help her best friend. Turning to Raven she pleads, "Come on Reyes, open those eyes, chica. Don't you dare give up on me girl or else I'll fucking kill you, you stubborn alpha!"

"Not a chance Mami. No pienso morir cuando casi acabo de llegar a tierra," [I don't plan on dying when I just reached the ground.] Raven mutters as she slowly opens her eyes. "Oh Rae thank god!" Ash says  relieved as she hugs her best friend. "Ouch! No hugs mami, not yet. My body hurts like hell," Raven whines as she tries to move little by little. "Sorry Rae," Ash replies. "No worries girl, it's all good. How long was I unconscious?" Raven asks. "Two hours. Can you move Rae, we need to get out?" Ash asks. "Yeah just give me a minute," Raven answers as she tries to get out of her seat. When she manages to move, she places her hand on the lever and together both friends try to lift the lever. After some time they manage to open it. Both inhale deeply as they fill their lungs with clean, forest air for the first time in their lives. “Wow, Ash we actually made it, Oh my god! I can’t believe it, we’re actually on the ground,” Raven says in awe of the surrounding beauty. It’s true that it’s dark but the moonlight casts beautiful shadows in the forest. “Yeah, we did Rae, Now, let's find Bell and the rest,” Ash says, as they crawl out of the pod. Ash picks up the bag her mom gave her and checks that all the items are okay. “Oh good! Nothing happened to the radio or tablet,” she mutters to herself as they are already making their way in an unknown direction. “Hey Ash, do you know where we’re going cause I have no idea,” Raven says as she moves her head in all directions. “Well, not really. Damn it! Come on Bell find us please,” Ash says silently; hoping that her friend will find them.

It was late and Bellamy had already prepared his sleeping bag. He saw as Octavia did the same but she was hesitant. When they first started sleeping outside, both had their sleeping bag setup to face the entrance of the  campsite that now, after four days, had a makeshift fence. Now, Octavia has changed sleeping positions. She faces the dropship instead of the entrance. Bellamy smirks to himself because he knows the reason; Octavia is protecting Clarke even though they aren’t together in the same space. “Hey Tay-tay if you’re worried or want to be with her, then go. You don’t have to stay with me. It’ll probably make you sleep better knowing that she’s safe. Go on. I’m gonna be fine; remember, we’re aren’t alone, we have them to protect us,” Bellamy gently tells his sister. “What if she doesn’t want me around, it’s not like we’re mates or anything like that,” Octavia replies, her back to him. “Do you want her to be your mate? You know we get two. Who’s to say that Clarke isn’t one of them but, you’ll only know if you give it a try. Talk to her Tay-tay,” he says as he accommodates himself better in his sleeping bag. Before she could answer, they heard a boom in the sky and both looked upwards. There is a small ball of fire coming towards the ground. “What’s that?” Octavia asks getting up. “I don’t know, but I’ve got to check it out. Stay here Tay-tay. Protect the rest and as soon as I can, I’ll be back,” he says, already putting on his boots and accommodating his daggers on his belt. “Like hell! I’m not letting you go alone; we’re going together,” Octavia says authoritatively. “Fine, but you follow my lead,” he says, already preparing his backpack with a little smoked meat, some water and pieces of bandages. The others that were on night duty also saw it and are anxious, wondering what it was. “Hey guys, listen up,” Octavia says a little loudly. “Bellamy and I are going to check on that thing. I want you to tighten security and be on the alert. I think that came from the Ark but I’m not sure so, eyes ready and open! Got me?” she asks, a little demanding but not too much. They all nod and take up their positions. “O, hurry up!” Bellamy yells a little at her. She doesn’t answer as she makes her way into the dropship. She finds Clarke by scent. “I definitely need to identify her scent; it’s so sweet,” she says to herself. When she finds Clarke, the little omega is peacefully asleep and she doesn’t want to wake her but she knows that Clarke needs to know what’s going on. “Hey Clarke, wake up please,” Octavia gently says. The omega goddess just mumbles something incoherently and pouts a little. Octavia just stares at her in awe. It's a simple gesture, but one that she thinks is so adorably cute. She leans lower and places her lips on Clarke’s ear. “Hey beautiful, can you wake up? We need to talk,” Octavia murmurs into Clarke’s ear.
