Together

Chapter 4: The hunt

Clarke:

Me, Bellamy, a kid named Miles, and Miller head out to find animals to hunt. The thought makes me sick. Killing animals for food, I guess we need to do it to survive.

"You okay, Princess?" Bellamy questions. Obviously he had seen the expression on my face.

"Yeah I'm fine," I reply, not wanting to embarrass myself.

"Hey," Bellamy says softly, "you can tell me." He smiles.

"Well, I'm not comfortable with killing animals, it's just not my thing," I say slowly, avoiding eye contact. I knew that he would think of me as a coward for saying this, but his response surprised me.

He reaches for my hand and takes it in his own.

"It's okay, Princess," he smiles at me, but I don't smile back. "Clarke, who we are, and who we need to be to survive, are very different things."

That was the first time he's called me Clarke. This not only shocks me, but what he said makes me feel a whole lot better. I look him in the eyes and only then realize he is still holding my hand. He noticed too and quickly let's go.

Bellamy:

For a while, things were pretty awkward between me and Clarke. Miles calls us but tells us to be quiet. We tip-toe to where miles was crouched down. A deer was bent down, eating in the clearing in front of us. It was amazing seeing a sight like this in real life. I look over at Clarke to see that she has a sparkle in her eyes and a huge grin on her face. I smile to and wonder what life would have been like if we lived on earth.

"Okay, Bellamy, repeat what will happen to me if you call the doctor," my mother says in obvious pain.

"You will be floated and I will live in the care center," I reply. It looks like my mom is hiding something big and round under her shirt but I don't know what it is.

"Now go to your room, Bellamy," she instructs, "oh and I love you!"

I do what she says.

I was so clueless at that age. I didn't know what the care center was until a year later when they found Octavia. Maybe if we lived on Earth, me and O could have lived with our mother. No fears would corrupt our sleeping and we would have a parent to comfort us.

I'm distracted from my thoughts as I realize I'm still staring at Clarke. I need to distract myself from her. If we want to survive here, we need no distractions.

I look back at the deer but I obviously swung my head around too fast because it saw us.

The sight was absolutely terrifying. Who knew that deer had two heads? It was obviously dis-formed from radiation.

We all looked at eachother in disgust and horror.

Clarke:

After discussing that the two-headed deer could of poisoned us if we ate it, we decided to head back to camp. On our way back, Bellamy shot two rabbits with his bow, and Miller shot 1. We had at least some food, but not enough to keep us going for long.

"We should send out another group tomorrow to hunt for more food," Bellamy says to me when we're back at camp. I don't concentrate on his words because I'm mesmerised by the sunset. Who knew that the sun could be so beautiful in the early hours of the night.

Then something else magical comes. Rain. People start cheering and jumping around with huge smiles and laughter.

I look around to see Bellamy holding both of his hands up and looking at the sky.

"We need to collect this incase the others don't find any," I shout to Bellamy.

"Okay, I'll get some buckets and bowls," he replies.

I stand their laughing my head off but the happiness is soon spoiled when we hear shouts from behind the half built gate that we started today.

"Open the gates!" I shout.

A girl who's name I this is Roma is supporting Octavia. She's limping with a bandage around her leg.

Monty runs over to me with a panic woven through his face.

"They took Jasper! They speared him! We heard him scream as they dragged him away! He's still alive! Please help Clarke, please!" Monty basically screams in my face.

"Monty, slow down. Who took him?" I say calmly.

"Grounders," he replies, "Clarke, we're not alone."
