Fear (The 100)

Earth Kills

Raven sits next to their other friend, doing homework while Cal messes with a few things on her friend's desk. She stole some metal earlier to make a special something for her best friends and now she's playing with it, ignoring her homework that's due tomorrow. First she made a necklace for her. Just a plain chain that can easily come apart if needed. Nothing's on it yet, it's just plain.

Next she makes a gold ring for her best friend. She engraved a little raven on it and engraved Raven's name under it. She smiles at it and puts it in her pocket along with the plain necklace. The next and last thing she does is make her other best friend a necklace with a fin hanging from it. A shark fin that she read in a book once. She engraved Finn's name on that, too. She smiles at it and turns around in her friend's spinny chair, looking at the two laying on the bed doing homework.

Raven looks up at her as she takes out the things she made. "What's that?" A ten year old Raven asks. Cal smiles at her and then Finn when he looks up.

"For you. Both of you." She stands up and sits on the bed next to Raven as they sit up. She hands the ring to Raven and the necklace to Finn.

"It has a raven on it." Raven says, inspecting it more. "And my name."

"A fin?" Finn asks.

Cal smiles at him. "I thought it was funny."

Raven rolls her eyes as Finn says, "It has my name on it."

Cal nods. "That's what I think of when I think of you. A raven and a fin."

They smile at her and hug her, almost to death. "What's that?" Raven asks.

She looks down at the chain she made in her hand. "Just a plain necklace. Couldn't think of what to put on it."

Raven's eyes light up with an idea and then she stands up, rushing to her desk. She throws Cal's homework at her, smacking her right in the face. Finn laughs at her and Cal makes a face at him. Cal and Finn continue to do their homework when they hear Raven's spinny chair turn with a squeak and she sits right back where she was on the bed. "Look." Raven says, handing yet another ring to her. This time it's smaller, not meant to fit around a finger, but it has Raven's full name engraved on it.

Cal looks up at her best friend. "What's this?"

"To put on your necklace so you know who your friends are."

Cal smiles at her and puts it on the chain and hooks it on her neck. She lifts it to her face and examines it. Finn gets up himself after looking at it and goes to the desk. Raven and Cal work on homework and finish just as Finn sits next to them. Cal packs her stuff up, getting ready to leave, so Aurora doesn't yell at her for being late. "Cal, wait." Finn says.

She turns her head to him and he hands her something. It's another gold ring but this one has Finn's full name on it. She puts it on her chain and smiles at them and gets up, grabbing her bag. She hugs them before leaving and the whole way back home, she smiles at the rings around her neck, almost bumping into everyone she crosses paths with because of it.
