Earth's Echo (The 100)

The Ground

I watched Octavia start running around just like everyone else. The way they screamed in happiness brought chills to my spine. We're home.

I looked over to Clarke who had landed beside me. She looked around with total amazement. "Beautiful huh?" I asked. All she could do was nod.

"Come on." She said grabbing my hand. We started walking until we reached a cliff. Clarke looked down until she was looking a map. I examine the map and saw written on it was Mt. Weather. The place we need to be. We both looked up at the same time. "Oh no," I mumbled.

Footsteps came up behind us. "Why so serious, Princess?" Finn looking to Clarke ignoring me. "It's not like we died in a fiery explosion."

"Try telling that to the two guys who tried to follow you out of their seats." I said.

Finn was quiet. "You don't like me do you?" He asked.

"What gave you that hint?" I mumbled sarcastically.

"What about you Princess?" Finn asked speaking to Clarke.

"I'm with Echo." She stated. "What you did was stupid. But that is the least of our problems. Do you see that peak over there?" She said motioning with her head.

"Yeah," Finn said.

"Mount Weather." I said.

"There's a radiation-soaked forest between us and our next meal." Clarke said. "They dropped us on the wrong damn mountain."

We were silent, until I grabbed the map and started making my why back to the ship, Clarke was right by my side. Finn tailed along like a dog, but then got lost in the midst of the crowd. "We need to send people to go and bring back food, make sure its safe before we all head over there." Clarke said as I put down the map on the ramp.

I let Clarke take point, she was better at maps then me. She grabbed a burnt stick and started tracing on the map, so that we had clear trail of where to go. Someone came up behind us, and we both turned to see Wells.

Now I hadn't really given Wells a proper hello, so I grabbed him into a hug. "Good to see you." I said.

He hugged me back. "I thought you were dead, Echo, floated, how are you still alive." He asked

"I would rather not talk about it now." I said.

Wells nodded and looked to the both of us now. "Bad news, the communications system is dead. I went to the roof a dozen panels are missing. Heat fried the wires."

Great, was all I could think.

"Well, all that matters right now is getting to Mount Weather. See? Look." Clarke said pointing to the map. "This is us." She drew a straight line from one point to another. "This is where we need to get to

"Where'd you learn to do that?" Wells asked as Clarke traced. Clarke just gave him a quick glare. Realization passed over his face. "Your father."

"Ah, cool, a map." I turned to see one of the kids I saw earlier on the drop ship. He was tall lanky with pale skin and goggles on his forehead. "They got a bar in this town? I'll buy you a beer."

Wells pushed him back, but I quickly grabbed Wells, so he wouldn't push a criminal to the breaking point. "You mind?" Wells asked him.

"Whoa."

"Hey, hey, hey, hands off him." Said an asian boy. He was the one who was sitting next to lanky on the drop ship. They must have been friends.

"He's with us."I then looked to see a group of boys walking up. They looked like they wanted trouble.
