The Natblida from Skaikru

1 -The Dropship-

Rae

Yay, just another wonderful day in a small metal room. Murphy and I have just been passing a tiny rubber ball, for hours.
"If you could be an animal what would you be?" I ask, boredom literally dripping off me.
"I think maybe one of those Jaguars. They look badass." He smirks at me.
"So you wanna be something that you aren't now?" I say mocking him. Which I receive a fake angry face. "Your face looks really funny when you do that."
"Thank you?" He says questionably.
"Your welcome Murph."
He rolls his eyes at me to which I wink to in return. Then the door creaks open.
"Prisoners 37 and 97 face the wall with your right hand out." A guard says to us, Murphy and I share glances before we follow our orders. I slide the rubber ball in my pocket, it has sentimental value to me.
Yay, I get to stare at the metal wall up close, while my hand sticks out. "Ow." I say looking down at my now "accessorized" wrist. "Well look at that Murph they're giving us jewelry." I say in fake excitement.
"Silence." The guard looks at me sternly. I glance at Murphy who is biting the inside of his cheek to hold him back from laughing. "Follow us," the guard says opening the door.
"Your lucky I love you enough and that your my best friend that I don't whoop your ass for laughing at me." I whisper trying to sound really intimidating.
"Mhm sureee." Murphy says as he walks in front of me. There's chaos in the halls, seems like all us juice kids are goin' on a field trip!
Then we turn down a hallway, interesting we don't usually go this way... I think my eyes just popped out of my head. It's the drop ship.. they're sending us to earth. Holy shit! As a mechanic, this old piece of scrap doesn't look like it's going to hold through entry.
"Hey what you staring at Rae?" Murphy asks me, trying to not give us to much attention.
"They're sending us to Earth Murph." I smile at him. A real one and he returns it. This is going to be hella awesome if we don't die.

Me and Murphy were sat down, all buckled up in our new booster seats. Haha kidding.. it looks like they're just sending us, criminals down like lab rats.
"We're gonna be okay right?" Murphy looks at me consent written all over his features.
"If we don't die through entry in the atmosphere absolutely!" Sometimes my honesty is bad. Frowning Murphy grabs my hand.
"I hope we don't die."
"Same brother." I say in a bruh voice, and holding up two fingers. Like a hippie and he laughs. I'm glad I can at least ease the anxiety a little bit.
As we entered the atmosphere I took note of certain things in the drop ship that would be useful to use or rebuild. But then a video of Chancellor Jaha came up. Me being me I just zoned out trying to keep calm, clutching unto Murphys hand for reassurance.

After the landing I had all the motions come flooding to me, causing my stomach to bubble. And me wanting to throw up.
"Hey you good Rae?" Murphy asked leaning over me.
"Yeah I'm fine you can head down I'll leave soon I just need to compose myself." Then my hand swiped up to my mouth to try and stop myself from throwing up all over the floor. Murphy went down the hatch. And I leaned against the cool metal, and started boxer breaths. My mom taught me them when I used to have panic attacks. Inhale 1..2..3..4..5, exhale 1..2..3..4..5. And repeat.
After a solid 3 minutes of just breathing and my mechanic mind went to work. The entry into the atmosphere was a bit rough, probably drying most of the wires and communication. As well as the solar panels I assume they have on the roof. Maybe I'll check it out later. Going towards the hatch everyone else went through and down the ladder I saw, the drop ship door already open and everyone outside.
The earth was nothing compared to the books. The beauty of it is so underrated. The lush green grass, the tall trees, and the warm sun beaming down. It was magnificent! Until someone's hands covered my eyes.
"Guess who?" A familiar voice said from behind me.
"OCTAVIA MOTHER-FUCKING BLAKE!!!!" I yelled. Turning around and wrapping my arms around my best friend who I haven't seen in about a year! Still in our embrace I mumble in her ear. "I've missed you so much, O." While her head lays on my shoulder.
"Same here R."
Arm in arm we walk towards the commotion. Which happens to lead to Murphy and the two privileged here.
"You think we care whose in charge here we need to get to mount. weather." The blond girl said. I pretty much zoned out seeing it was not in my interest zone. And was still in awe of the surroundings. Glancing around and studying everything, until my eyes landed on the tall, tanned, brown haired boy I used to date.
"Bellamy," I say scanning with my eyes his entire body.
"Rae?" He looks at me as if we've never met and it makes me squirm. His eyes, those beautiful chocolate brown eyes look at me as if I'm a monster. "What are you doing here?" He questions me.
"I should be the one asking you the same thing. Octavia let's go of my arm, and glances between the two of us probably seeing the obvious tension.
"Rae, how did you get here?" She stumbles on her words just in case it angers me, knowing my short fuse. But, before I could answer she says something that makes me shut up real quick. "And I thought you go were dating why are you so bitter now?" Bellamy glances at my dumbfound expression and sees it as his turn to talk.
"Rae and I broke up the day after you got arrested." I was looking at O. Reading her expression she was shocked... and sad. "I haven't seen either of you since then. Which leads back to you Rae how did you get arrested?"
"I stole medicine for my foster brother. I was caught, locked up." I was on the verge of tears and both of them saw it. Octavia rubbed her hand on my shoulder in an effort for comfort me. And Bellamy gave me a sad smile. He knew that my younger brother died it was all over the Ark.
"I'm gonna go look around." I say moving away from them and the rest of the 100 delinquents.

"Hey I'm going with the group for food wanna join me?" Octavia asks coming up next to me.
"Nah I think I'm going to say here, keep an eye of things." O nodded her head and smiled at me. "Be safe out there O. You don't know what's lurking."
I gave her a hug and watched as she walked away from me. She better stay safe or I will beat those kids asses.
"Well well, look who I finally found." Murphy says coming up from behind me.
"Stirring up trouble already Murph?" I ask walking into his open arms needing the hug.
"You know it," he whispers in my ear. Murphy always had the best hugs when I was going through something rough.
"I had to tell Octavia how I got arrested." Squeezing my arms closer around him.
"It's gonna be okay Rae." Murphy says reassuringly. "Nothing is going to happen when I'm hear to protect you."
"I'll always protect you to." I tell him. Both of us being so broken, but that makes us match all the better.
Little did I know Bellamy was standing watching our hug thinking something completely off.
