victoria's pov

i walk up the hill around the rubble and smoke. my face is cold, hard, and stiff. i look around at my surroundings once i reach the top. there's a big crater on the crash site, major destruction around, and the surrounding trees are pushed by force and burnt to a crisp. i look around and notice unrecognizable skeletons charred and burnt, their mouths wide open.

i hear voices far away and i don't care enough to listen in on what they're saying.

we came over with june, finn, bellamy, raven, clarke, a couple people from bellamy's militia.

"hey, you alright?" june comes over with their hands in their pockets, looking down trying not to trip over rubble.

i look up and do a half smile, "i'm alright."

earlier, june let me know that their parents agreed that until they got word that earth is completely safe they wouldn't go on any ship. that's means june's parents are safe, thankfully.

now i have no dad nor mom. absolutely perfect.

i walked straight, june right behind me looking for anything that could explain why this ship was early and why it was so unprepared.

i see clarke coming up beside me checking out the damage. i feel bad for her as well. she's basically and orphan.

"you alright?" i say softly, looking up and squinting because the sun is in my eyes.

"yeah." she says nodding her head. lie.

making deep conversation isn't what we need right now. too much brainpower for people who just lost their whole family.

i smell something rotten and cover my nose, i look closer and see a pink liquid dripping. clarke and june are behind me, curious as well.

"victoria, stop!" raven yells, rushing over.

"rocket fuel?" clarke hypothesizes.

"hydrazine. highly unstable in its non solid form. if this stuff meets fire, we're all pink mist." raven takes a rock and dips it in the liquid. "fire in the hole!"

she throws the rock in a crater to the right of us, an explosion mixed with fire emits with a loud bang.

we all jump back, startled.

"we need to clear the area." she tells bellamy and finn.

"okay, then. we leave in formantion! no straggling, weapons hot. we got to get back before dark." bellamy yells to the rest of the people searching.

i look down rushing away not wanting to get blown up, but also sort of wanting to get away from this scene. looking for my dead mothers skeleton is so depressing, especially when they all look the same.

***

we made it back in the morning, not before dark like bellamy wanted.

"open the gate! they're back!" connor yells.

the gates open we we walk in. they all stare at us waiting for us to say something.
