Take a chance

Chapter 1

-Clarke-

I wake up with a start. Another nightmare. It's the same every night. I keep seeing my father getting floated, to his death.

I hate that I couldn't save him, in fact I don't even know how the Council discovered the secret me and my father knew. Instead I ended up in the Ark's Prison, because I'm only sixteen and can't get floated until I'm eighteen or older.

I've been here for a whole month and they haven't let me out of my cell, so I have been all on my own, alone with my thoughts, not being able to talk with my mum or with my best and only friend, Wells.

I'm starting to think that I'm probably never going to see them again when my thoughts are interrupted by the loud beeping signaling that the door of my cell is being opened. I instantly stand up and run to the door, but I'm knocked down by a guard that is pushing is way inside my cell.

When I regain my footing, I can see a second guard coming in dragging the body of a girl with dark hair inside. When I get a better look at her I can see that her beauty is breathtaking. She has long, wavy hair and her eyes are closed, but I can already imagine that they must have the colour of dark chocolate, just like her hair. Her face is covered in freckles, but she is also supporting some bruises on both cheeks.

The guard draggs her to the middle of the cell, and said to me 'Looks like you are going to have a roommate', and leaves along side the first guard.

When the door finally closed I ran to the center of the cell where the girl was left. Just as I touched her shoulder she gasped and opened her eyes.

'Where the hell am I? And who are you?', was the first thing she screamed at me.

'Hi my name is Clarke and we are in a cell of the Ark's Prison' I said evenly trying to calm her down.

'Oh god I can't believe it! I have to find Bell! I need to know were he is!'

'Calm down Octavia, I think we are not going anywhere soon so I guess we better get to know each other first and then think of finding Bell, or whoever you said you need to find.'
