No Hero: Lost Among the Flame

Curious exploration

Note: So I was thinking about starting a Female OC x Clarke story. Let me know in a comment if you'd be interested. If I did it would be on the side as this story is my main focus right now and I just need to see Lexa and Freya have the closure they deserve.

I glanced up at Clarke from my plate and noticed how stressed she looked. She made me sit at the end of the table closest to the wall so that she was the only one sitting next to me. From the moment we sat down the group was pretending that everything is fine. It was strange.

"Clarke?" I called quietly to get her attention.

She hummed quickly turning to look at me.

"How come we didn't ask Lexa if she wanted to come eat with us?" I asked. I noticed Bellamy and Monty look up from their plates.

Clarke sighed and brushed her hair over her shoulder. "She misses Freya and needs a little longer to herself. We'll check on her later" she explained softly.

I frowned mumbling, "Okay." Turning back to my plate I brought my fork to my mouth for a small bite. She's talked about Freya so much that I feel like I know her. More importantly I wanted to see how she was doing. From what they explained Freya was here but not at the same time? I don't really understand.

"I'm sure Lexa will come see you in a little bit" Harper said with a smile.

"Yeah" Monty agreed with her giving me the same sort of smile.

I nodded not really feeling like talking much more.

Raven let out an exaggerated sigh and blatantly looked across the room at the table Octavia was sitting at. A few people that I don't know the names of sat around her. "How is Lincoln going to convince Octavia to sit down to a serious meeting? No offense man but you two are sort of on the outs" she said.

On the outs? I looked over at Lincoln confused. He was of Trikru and aside from Clarke I think he was the only other one at the table who might understand me. Simply because he grew up the way I did. You trusted the commander's protection and followed their judgement. Except now the world was completely different. I guess I was just having a rough time adjusting.

The room began to clear out as people got up from finishing their plates. A middle aged woman was approaching our table and from Clarkes description I think it may be her mom. I tried not to frown but I did miss my parents.

Clarke noticed her and turned to me as she was a few feet away. "Madi, this is my mom Abby" she told me.

"Hi" I said placing my hands in my lap now that my plate was empty.

"Hi Madi, it's nice to meet you" Abby smiled tiredly.

Clarke stood up from her seat next to me and shared a look with Bellamy. "I'll be back but you can stay with Bellamy while I'm gone" she said to me. I nodded again so she could go talk to her mom.

Sortly after Monty and Harper also left the table. Leaving behind Bellamy, Raven, Emori, Murphy and Lincoln. "So Madi how are you doing?" Bellamy asked after there was a minute of silence.

When I looked at him all I could think about was the stories I've heard about him. Some good and some bad. The ones I heard from Lexa were all about how Freya didn't care for him much. "Is it true that you beat up Freya over a radio you stole?" I asked disregarding his question. It didn't feel like a real question anyway, he was just trying to start a conversation.

Raven laughed loudly before covering her mouth with her hand. Murphy also chuckled but Emori glared at him. Bellamy sighed and fixed his face with an unamused expression. "There was more to the situation but I guess so" he said.
