As It Is- Dial Tones
Both me and Raven were rushing around to get the pod ready, we had to take off today, they had to. The council were on their way, someone had ratted us out. Currently Abby was stalling them but if we didn't take off soon then we would all get floated. Suddenly I heard a smashing noise coming from inside the pod where Raven was.
"Shit, she gave us a dodgy pressuriser."
"You've got to be joking, can you fix it."
"No, not really but we can leave anyway" She quickly climbed into a make do spacesuit.
"I'll get Abby." I told Raven and went to leave the room for the first time in 10 days.
"What? No you'll definitely get catch, you turn 18 in four days!"
"And I can't just stay here for the rest of my life, I'll get Abby." I repeated but just before I left the door Raven grabbed my arm.
"Abby took me to take off with or without her, and it looks like she's not going to make it." She smiled and pulled her arm away from behind her back revealing another make do spacesuit. "Get in the suit Crows."
"Is it bad that I am very happy about this." I said and took the suit smiling.
"Just try to contain it, we don't know if we'll make it to earth yet." She laughed.
"At least I'll die trying." Pulling the suit up over my clothes and zipping it up at my chest, I jogged to the pod with Raven leading. We both climbed in and slammed the old but improved doors. I mirrored Ravens movements as I put on my space helmet.
"Abby we will radio you as soon as we get there." Raven said into a radio.
"Raven, leave now!" Her voice was panicked over interference from the radio and Raven didn't hesitate to jump . Suddenly the pod began to shake and I grabbed hold of the edge of my chair in fear.
"It might be a bumpy ride." Raven shouted over the noises of the pod and suddenly we were sucked into the atmosphere. She wasn't lying when she said bumpy ride, my head rattled in all direction and I couldn't see anything. Apart from the earth growing bigger and bigger. I struggled to turn to see Raven but when I did she had her eyes clearly set on the earth.
"MARDI HOLD ON WE ARE ENTERING THE EARTHS ATMOSPHERE!" Raven shouted at me again and I held on tighter to the leather of my chair. Then everything went dark.
****
My whole body was achey and my head stung. Slowly opening my heavy eye lids I struggled to recall what had just happened. All I could see was broken glass, my helmet. Painfully I lifted me arms to take the helmet off, as I lifted it my vision became clearer. Through the old glass of the pod, I saw trees that tickled the sky and grass that swept just above ground level."Wow." I whispered, then I remembered Raven, but just as I turned around a familiar figure opened Ravens side of the door. His dark brown eyes glared up at me.
"Bell?"
"Mardi?" I couldn't believe it.
"I-I thought to were dead! You stupid son of a bitch!" I laughed to hide the pain in my voice. He was silent for a while so I walked over to him.
"What are you doing here anyway?" Then I noticed the knife prepared in his hands. "And why do you have a knife?"
"I thought. I didn't know it would be you." he stuttered, then rushed to hide his knife away.
"Oh what because you got me stuck in a solitary confinement room and then floated away to earth with your little prison crew?" He looked at me completely puzzled. "Look at my hands Bellamy!" I threw my palms up to his revealing scars and scabby scratches where I should have had stitches. After he looked at my hands he turned his head the other way and moved backwards.
"You need to go." he muttered, which pissed me off and I marched closer to him.
"I need to go, I've just been locked up on a basement for 10 days because I'm the second most wanted fucking criminal!" I shouted at him. " you been first, obviously you missed the fucking shot, Jahas still alive you losey son of a..." Then Bellamy did something I never thought he would. His fist quickly pounded into my stomach cutting off my words and throwing me back slight. Clenching my stomach I fell to the floor and watched as Bellamy cut the radio off the pod and threw it into a near by river.
"You idiot! You've just killed everyone on the ark." I wheezed, but he gave me a half apologetic glance then marched away. Clumsily picking myself off of the ground, I was debating whether to follow him or not, but Raven was still unconscious so I sat back in the passenger seat. Even if I decided to follow Bellamy I couldn't stop him, trying to stop Bellamy from doing something was like trying to stop a hurricane from ripping everything to shreds.
"Raven. Raven. Psst wake up." I shook her gently and whispered. to my relief she started to moan about how breakfast on the ark was crap, and that she would skip it. "What about breakfast on the ground." I laughed slightly and she opened her eyes weakly. Her eyes quickly explored her surroundings and a huge grin appeared on her face as she nodded her head slightly. "Good job Raven." she praised herself.
"You feeling alright?" I asked.
"Minor injury to the head, I'll be fine." she said as if she was talking to a captain or leader, giving a sarcastic salute.
"Then let's go explore." I laughed and she looked excited until she remembered Abby.
"I need to radio the ark first, then we explore." she said reaching for her radio that wasn't there. "What?"
"That would be the wonderful delight of Bellamy Blake, decided to visit us, punch my stomach and break the radio."
"I liked him more when we thought he was dead." Raven muttered through her teeth. "Where'd he go?" She asked.
"That way, I'm assuming to the rest of the 100." I pointed North, the direction where Bellamy had stormed off before.
"Then what are we waiting for"
"Nothing lets fuck shit up." I laughed and we both jumped out the pod and headed north.
