Adventures from Space to Earth

My Sister's Keeper

It seemed like seconds after I closed my eyes that I am being shaken awake by Bellamy. I sit up and rub my eyes.

"Have you seen Octavia?" he asks me.

"No. Not for a while. Why?" I ask. I carefully climb out of my hammock.

"Nobody can find her. She's been gone for hours." I can tell he is really worried.

"Have you checked the whole camp?" I ask. I sit on the ground and start putting my boots on.

"Clarke is checking the tents." He offers his hand after I put my boots on and I accept the help up. As soon as I am standing, I let go of his hands quickly.

"Let's gather everyone so we can go look for her," I say. I turn and head for the ladder, going to get people from the upper levels. 20 minutes later, everyone is awake and outside.

"Hey, everybody gather around and grab a weapon. My sister's been out there alone for 12 hours. Arm up. We're not coming back without her." I watch as people arm themselves. Clarke and Jasper are whispering to each other and Bellamy goes over there. They hollar for Finn. Bellamy comes over to me.

"Will you stay here in case she comes back before we get back?" he asks. I nod.

"I'll check supplies and make sure that everything is okay here," I say. He smiles and reaches for my face but stops and drops his arm before touching me.

"Thank you."

"Did you see that? Look up there. It's so beautiful." Everyone looks to the sky and dread fills me as I realize what happened.

"They didn't work. They didn't see the flares," Raven says as she exits the tent with Finn.

"A meteor shower tells you that?" Bellamy questions.

"It's not a meteor shower, it's a funeral. Hundreds of bodies being returned to the earth from the ark. This is what it looks like from the other side," I say.

"They didn't get our message."

"This is all because of you!" Raven yells as she marches towards Bellamy.

"I helped you find the radio," he tries to defend.

"Yeah, after you jacked it from my pod and trashed it!"

"Yeah, he knows. Now has to live with it," Clark says. Bellamy takes a few deep breaths and gathers his emotions.

"All I know is that my sister is out there and I'm gonna find her." He turns to Finn. "You coming or what?"

"Yeah."

"What are we waiting for? Move out!" Bellamy yells. I turn to Clarke.

"We have to talk to them. Three hundred won't be enough. The oxygen level will just keep dropping. And if we don't tell them that they can survive down here, they'll kill more people. They have to," Clarke states.

"Guys... they're leaving. We gotta go," Jasper says. I am kinda surprised he is going but I know he also likes Octavia. I turn and start walking back to the dropship when Clarke yells to me.

"Ash, do you want to come with me and Raven? We are going to the hideout," Clarke says. Even though I had agreed to stay at camp, I wanted to get out of here too.

"Sure, let me grab my jacket," I say. I grab my jacket out of the dropship and join the other two. When I come back out, Finn and Raven kiss and then separate. Clarke doesn't look too happy. I walk over and stop by Clarke.

"Actually, I'm gonna stay here just in case Octavia makes her way back. You guys be safe," I say. Clarke smiles and then they leave.

"Alone again."

After a few hours, quite a few people have come back including Clarke and Raven. They seem to be mad at each other. I am currently hanging out just outside the wall, gathering some plants when I hear yelling.

"Clarke! Where's Clarke! Get Clarke now." I slip back into camp in time to see Bellamy carrying Finn.

"Finn. Finn? On, my god. Oh, oh, my god," Clarke says. I get close and see a knife protruding out from Finn's chest.

"Bellamy wouldn't let me take the knife out," Jasper says. I meet Bellamy's eyes and see that he is on the brink of tears.

"No, that was a good call. Get him in the dropship now. Go!" Raven stops Clarke and I follow Bellamy to the dropship.

"Clarke, can you save him?"

"No. Not me. I need my mother. I need to talk to her."

"There's still no radio," Raven states.

"Raven, fix it! Go!" Raven runs off and Clarke jogs over to me.

"I am going to need your help to stabilize him," she says. I nod and follow her into the dropship, ready to work.
