Calliope Cooper was turned in at only twelve years old and she was locked up for being a second born child. At seventeen she is sent down to earth along with 99 other delinquents and a guard leaving her best friend up at the Ark. Will she be able to...
Cal sits at Wells' grave crying. She was with him last night. How could he have died so quickly? It doesn't make sense. He would've yelled for someone if he saw a grounder, but he didn't. Why? Cal screams as loud as she can and it echos, the scream making it all the way to camp, making everyone concerned.
Cal stands up and kicks and punches a nearby tree repeatedly, making her fists all bloody and hurt like hell, but she doesn't stop. Not until someone hugs her from behind, trapping her arms at her sides, and pulling her away and on the ground.
"Shh." They sooth. "It's okay." Bellamy's voice says. She cries for the second time that day, the first being when Octavia told her he died. She rests her back against Bellamy and tries to curl in on herself, but Bellamy doesn't let her. "Stop." He says. "It's okay. Let it out." Cal screams again, probably breaking the man's ear drums, but neither of them care.
Bellamy smooth's down her hair that got all messed up while she was trying to break free and she relaxes a little more. "Why?" Cal asks him, voice ruff from all her screaming and crying. "Why are you doing this?"
"Because you're my sister's best friend."
"Then let Octavia come. Or Monty or Finn. Why you?"
He responds after a while. "Because I'm the only one who came."

"Just a few steps, okay?" Octavia says, while Jasper, Cal, and her are walking outside the wall. Jasper stays put right by the gate, Cal right behind him. Octavia holds his hand while she leads him out, but lets go when she starts walking farther out. "One foot in front of the other." Jasper reaches for Cal's hand behind him and she takes it. Octavia turns around realizing they're not following. "Hey. What's wrong?"
"Hmm?" Jasper looks over to Octavia. "Oh, nothing. I'm good." Cal squeezes Jasper's hand letting him know she's there.
"Jasper, it's been a week, okay?" She starts walking farther out again. "You've been given a second chance. You gotta use it." Octavia screams as she gets pulled behind a bush and Cal lets go of Jasper's hand, walking slowly towards it.
"Octavia?" Jasper asks as she screams again. Cal gets pulled behind the bush as well. "Cal? Octavia? Cal, are you okay?" Jasper appears beside the bush and the man jumps out holding both of them.
Octavia and Cal get free and Octavia pushes him. "Hey, jerk." Cal goes to her friend, making sure he's okay. "Get the hell out of here."
Cal turns Jasper's head to her, looking at his face. He pulls away and both Octavia and Cal walk after him. "Jas,"
"Jasper, come on. There's nothing to be afraid of." Jasper trips and both of the girls sit down beside him. They both look over to what their friend is looking at and see two fingers on the ground, Wells' fingers.
