join or die

1 1/2 years ago 

I've been in this cell for 12 months, and not once in that year did i go to an Earth skills class. Today the guards forced me out of my cell, and shoved me into a room, with other delinquents. I  sat down in a chair in the middle row, and a few moments later, my sister sat next to me. "Those are the girls under the floor." I hear someone mummer from behind me, me and O give each other looks, and Pike starts speaking, "Welcome to earth skills."

I flutter my eyes open, lifting my head from Jasper's lap. I look around, to see everyone doing their open thing. Jasper has headphones in his ears looking down at the map, and Octavia is looking out the window. "it's been an hour since we passed the airplane wreckage." Jas says, "Seeing as we're using a map without an distances, it could be days before we reach Luna's village." 

"At least we know we're going in the right direction." Bellamy speaks nonchalant. "We're running out of daylight. We should stop in the sun, and recharge the battery."

"What sun?" Clarke asks, looking out at the rain covered window. "We keep going until it dies."

"We keep going until we get to Luna." Octavia corrects. 

It falls silent again, and Jasper turns the book around to face O, "This her?" On the page, is a sketched drawing of a woman with curly hair. 

"Yes." 

"What do you think she's gonna say when she show up out of the blue asking to put an AI in her head?" I jump in, asking the question in all curiosity. I see Bellamy and Clarke make worried eye contact at my words. "Lincoln said she helps people in trouble. She'll help us too." O assures us. 

Suddenly, the rover comes to a stop, "You think she could help us find a better map?" Jasper's sarcasm lingers though the awkward silence. 

"Back track. Find somewhere where the trees aren't so bad." Bellamy says, but me and O completely ignore him, opening the back of the rover, she jumps out, then helps me out. 

"Guess we're going on foot then." Clarke gets out of the passenger seat, and O starts running. I try my best to run with her, and Clarke catches up to us. "Anyone hear the part where I said it could be days?" Jasper calls to us.

The sound of water flowing hits my ears, "Wait." I stop, "Do you hear that?" I look back at Clarke. 

"Water." O concludes, and she continues to run. I follow her up the hill. "Eyes sharp. They could be hostile." Bellamy commands, and we turn around to him, "They're not hostile. Put the guns down." Octavia calls down to him. Jasper comes running up the hill, grabbing my hand. We run through the woods, trying to find the source of the water. 

We reach a river, and follow it. I end up gripping Jasper's shoulder, as I feel my leg ache. We finally come to a stop, looking out at the ocean. "Where's the village?" Jasper asks, looking9p- over at O. 

She looks back at the ocean, then turns to Lincoln's book. Octavia panics slightly, "No. No, that can't be right." She starts running towards the patch, with odd rock statues.  I roll my eyes, following her, despite the pain. 

We arrive at the rocks, and I look around. "This isn't a village. It's just a bunch of rocks." I say, panting, as i lean on my knees. "She's gone." Clarke looks down, sadly. 

"What do we do now?" Jasper asks. Clarke looks back, looking between me, Jasper, and Bellamy. Then she turns to Octavia, and as she leans down by the shore, she screams in frustration. The scream echoes as the rain falls on my head and clothes, we all fall to silence feeling defeated.
