🔵Sky Princess and Wolf Commander🟢

Chapter 2

Clarke POV

While drifting towards the earth, which seems much bigger than from my view in the Sky Box, we marvel at the beauty. It's amazing from up here, and I feel excitement making me laugh for the first time since I get under arrest. We're going to earth. It might not be survivable with its radiation, but if that's the case, we'll die on the ground.

Suddenly, the pod begins moving faster towards the earth and shakes badly. Octavia and I feel panic rising in our chest as Raven mentally goes over to do again. She presses the button, and the pod gives a violent jolt, which I'm guessing is reentry.

The pod moves, the speed of which they're descending is noticeably getting faster and faster until all we can see out of windows is fire.

" Holy shit! We go die?!" Octavia yells panic.

" Nah, over my dead body! We must be alive." Raven mutters.

I clench my jaw, knowing we might die in this metal coffin. Raven pressed the button again, she ignore the whine of the straining metal around us.

Sparks fly from some gadget and Octavia curse, hoping it wasn't anything important. I think i see it. Some of the sparks hit Octavia's right arm. But she's too busy focusing on not dying on impact to feel it.

The flames are less intense, and we can make out ground coming toward us at an alarming speed.

Octavia and I share a panicked look with Raven. I barely have time to talk to her as the pod crashes into the surface of the ground.

Because of the enormous impact, we're knocked unconscious.

I groan, rubbing my head gingerly. I feel the bump and determine it's most likely not a concussion, so that's a bonus. My eyes widen as we realise we're on the ground. This hundred year old piece of space junk made it to the ground in one piece. Not even the windows are shattered. They're just slightly cracked. When I wake Raven up, I'll have to thank her.

Moments later. I shake the girls off the shoulder so they can wake up, Octavia begins to wake up. Groaning, she reaches up for the back of her head, rubbing it. She feels something wet and pulls her hand back to take a look at her fingers.

Blood.

Octavia scowls and wipes her hand on her pants, Octavia and I are looking over to Raven, who's also waking up. " Fuck me," she groans. [ I don't know what i expected, but it certainly wasn't that. So much for a warm welcome huh?] Raven sign. It pulls a chuckle out.

" Told ya, we're still alive, Octavia." Raven says.

She check the machine that sparked and groan when she recognise the label as a communication device. We have no way of telling my parent that we're alive. We have no way of contacting anyone. Raven hit the machine, hoping it'll whir to life but it just sparks again, hitting her hand. She curse, definitely feeling that. It just burns a little and I check her hand, making sure it isn't a deep burn. She should be fine. Raven back in the chair, looking out the window. We can't see anything but dirt.

Float me, we're on the ground. I push the handle on the door, glad when it opens, air hissing as I shove it open. We crawl out, squinting against the sunlight. Once my eyes adjust, my mouth drops open and I grin, allowing ourself to feel happiness. We spin, taking everything in.

" We're back, bitches!" Octavia yells as put her arms up in excitement.

" Wow, suck it, Jaha!" Raven does a little dance.

The tree are so tall they seem to scrape the sky and there's so much green. It's so different than the Ark, which was always sterile and white. I let out an audible sigh as I look at the ground, loving the feeling of the earth beneath my feet. It's not hard and unyielding like metal.

[ I'm glad that we going with you, Clarke.] Raven sign
[ And I'm glad that I'm not alone.] I sign.

Raven grin. We look at the escape pod and look it over, nothing that it might be a good place to have camp and sleep until we get up a good shelter. We give one last wistful look around us, taking in our surroundings because I know we're going to be busy setting up camp and focusing on not starting to really revel in for awhile.

We're in a clearing and there isn't much movement around us, which worries me. If there were movement, it would mean there are animals here, which would mean we have a lesser chance of dying of radiation poisoning. But I don't see anything, and I can't hear even the scurrying of a mouse (Because I'm deaf mean I dont hear).Though Raven and Octavia are not sure if her ears are that good.

[ Raven, we need a setting up camp for us to sleep and find some food for us.] I sign.

[ Good idea, we can start now.] Raven sign.

Raven explains that to Octavia what I have plan. " it's good idea, we can do now before get dark" Octavia says.

We rummage through the escape pod, grinning when I find a sack (thankfully it's not destroyed, it's barely even burned). We open it and let out a relieved sigh. There's a three knife, a flasks, a few notebooks, a few pencils and a couple bits of rations. It's not much, but it's definitely help.

We start settling up a camp enough big for us, taking 30 minutes to finished. Octavia and I go get at lot tree who fall on ground and bring it to Raven can make three wood beds. [ Octavia and I go heading out in search of water and maybe get fish.] I sign.

[ Yes, Clarke.] Raven sign.

" Octavia, you and Clarke have go search for water and food, you can hear it and help Clarke." She says.

" Of course, I will." Octavia excited.

I take one notebook and smile when I realise that it's an unlined one. Dad must have remembered how much I love to draw. I rip out a paper and begin drawing my surroundings, knowing that making a map will be useful. We'll definitely get lost if we don't make it.

Once I'm finished and satisfied with my work, we grab the knife and the flasks, heading out in search of water. I don't see or Octavia don't hear anything on the way but don't let ourselves panic. Soon, Octavia stop walk and hear the sound of it flowing river, she look at me and grin it mean she find a water. My mouth drops open slightly and we run towards it.

" Holy shit!" Octavia excited yells.

The river's twice as wide as we are tall. I've never seen so much water. I let out an joyful laugh as Octavia join me and run my fingers through my glistening water. We quickly full our flasks, noting a dark spot in the water to keep my eye on. I think I see it moving a little, but I've had quite the eventful day and I might be seeing things.

I take out my knife, just in case. Octavia notice it and take out a knife well. I wade into the river until it covers my shoes ( that was really stupid of me I should have taken them off before I decided to walk in water). I eye the water warily and almost drop my knife in shock when a muddy brown fish swims past me.

An animal. Earth's survivable. I let out a deep breaths and practically beam.

The moment is interrupted when my stomach grumble. They don't feed us much in the Sky Box, just above what'll keep us alive and not complaining too much. There's two meals a day, but if there's a shortage of food, we're the first to go hungry. It's been a rough week and we're only had meals once a day, and yesterday we didn't have anything.

Octavia slowly gets close to me and notice it.

I watch the fish, licking my lips. The food on the Ark is so dry and tasteless. It's the worst kind if bland and there's not animals in space, so we've never had meat. I've dreamt if what it tastes like, but now we have a chance to find out.

Octavia and I slowly moves, grasping the knife, and lunge.
