ೃ⁀➷WHO'S AFRAID OF LITTLE OLD ME season one — episode one & two finding jasper ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚
NIGHTTIME ON THE EARTH WAS much different than any night on the Ark. No one slept, and everyone had the time of their lives doing whatever they wanted. The crowd had gathered around a big stone and a bonfire. They lined up, waiting to have their wristbands removed. Adelaide wasn't sure how she felt about it, but decided not to pick up a fight.
It was a brunette girl named Fox's turn. A boy grabbed her arm and placed it on the stone, forcing Fox to fall softly to the ground. She winced as a girl pinned her arm down, while the boy used material from the drop ship to break the wristband off. The crowd cheered as it fell off her wrist. The boy tossed it into the fire.
"Who's next?" Bellamy yelled out. The line pushed forward. Adelaide moved away, in order not to get run down by them. She stood with Theo and Murphy, who had his left arm resting on her shoulder. Murphy and Theo had already taken off their wristbands, and Adelaide didn't have one.
The cheers from the crowd seemed to interest Wells, who headed towards them. "What the hell are you doing?" Wells pushed his way through the crowd and entered the inner circle. He stopped right behind Bellamy, next to the bonfire.
Adelaide leaned closer to Murphy, so only he would be able to hear. "Gee, he never shuts up, does he?" Adelaide mumbled to him. Murphy let out a small laugh, careful not to direct any attention to them.
Bellamy turned around to Wells. "We're liberating ourselves. What does it look like?" He looked around at the crowd who had gone silent, which was probably the first time since when Murphy attempted to fight Wells earlier that day.
"It looks like you're trying to get us all killed. The communication system is dead. These wristband are all we got. Take them off, and the Ark will think we're dying, that it's not safe for them to follow." Wells' words seemed to make some of the delinquents reconsider their actions.
"That's the point, Chancellor. We can take care of ourselves, can't we?" His two last words came out louder than the rest, and the crowd chanted in agreement. Murphy threw right arm in the air as he cheered.
Wells looked around himself. He seemed lost, somehow. "You think this is a game? Those aren't just our friends and our parents up there. They're our farmers, our doctors, our engineers. I don't care what he tells you. We won't survive here on our own, and besides, if it really is safe, how could you not want the rest of our people to come down?"
Adelaide wasn't going to lie, Wells' speech was heartwarming, but was it heartwarming enough to convince almost a hundred people?
