The Forgotten Prince

Part 24

Theo's Pov

Driving through the dead trees, a frown makes its way on my face. Will the earth ever be able to fully recover ? Like everything looks just so dead. 

We've been driving for some days, the water practically ran out, and so did Clarke's food. I'm starting to feel the effect of not eating, but I won't show Clarke that .

She's been speaking on the radio every day in hopes of connecting with the others, but so far, no one has responded.

Seeing Clarke's eyes become heavier, i take a deep breath. "Stop the rover, we'll get some sleep,"

As the rover comes to a stop, I get out and stretch my body out with a small groan.

Walking towards the edge, I look over the dead forest. The once green and lifefull trees are now dark and gray.

"It's so different," Clarke breathes out as she stands next to me. Nodding my head in agreement, my eyes keep darting through the trees in hopes of finding any form of life, but there is none .

"Well, good for you have me to keep you company the next years." I say with a small chuckle as I playfully shove her shoulder.

"Come on, Wanheda, you need sleep." I continue, and the girl rolls her eyes at me.

"Of course, little prince," Clarke bites back playfully, and I try my hardest not to let a frown make its way on my face.

Making my way into the back of the rover, i lay down on the uncomfortable metal floor, and soon Clarke lays down next to me.

Feeling the girl lay her head on my chest, I wrap my arm around her and start to dray random patterns on her back.

"Night," Clarke whispers as she places a small kiss on my cheek, "don't dream too much about me." I whisper with a small chuckle, and I feel the girl soflty bite my neck.

As I roll us both around in a matter of seconds, I hover over the girl with a small smirk .

"Don't start something. You won't win." I say as I lean down and soflty peck her lips. Laying down again, I place my hands between my head and feel the girl lay on me again.

"Dick," Clarke mumbles, and I chuckle at her, "it's big." I mumble, and she hits my chest.

"Just sleep, Theo," Clarke mumbles as she wraps her arms around my abdomen.

After some minutes, I eventually heard her breathing even out, indicating that the blonde fell asleep.

Closing my eyes, I wait for sleep to greet me, and soon I feel myself drift away.

As I'm not in a deep sleep, I hear the sound of rain fill my ears, and I practically jump up with Clarke, whose eyes shoot open as she is lying on my chest .

"Rain," I yell as I practically jump out of the rover and stand in the pouring rain. Letting the rain fall down my body, I see Clarke stand next to me with a wide smile.

"Get everything we can fill with water." I say, and she grabs the flask and the four empty bottles. As she gives me the bottles, I place them down on the hood of rover and let the water pour into them.

Taking my shirt off, I throw it in the rover and let the water wash the dirt and sand off my body. Seeing Clarke take a sip from the flask, I walk over to her and take her shirt off.

"What are you doing?" She asks me as she stands in front of me in what they call a sports bra.

"Well, let the rain wash away the dirt on our body ." I say with a small shrug. Seeing the girl roll her eyes at me, she hands me the flask, and I drink whatever was in there.
