To Survive (Bellamy Blake)

prologue

Life in space is easy. Even though being aware that somewhere beneath us is our real home is quite depressing. None of us have ever felt the sun on our faces, or the wind wrapping our naked shoulders. Less than a hundred years ago the nuclear apocalypse has destroyed the Earth. Four hundred survivors had found shelter in space, being divided into twelve stations. They all united, creating the Ark, home of three last generations of the mankind.

Opening my eyes, first what I noticed was a smiling face of Abby Griffin. She looked at me sideways and I settled myself more comfortably in chair. In front of me, on a metal desk was a little stack of papers, that I was supposed to see through.

"Almost finished" I said, trying to ignore the sudden sleepiness.

We were in a medical centre, where Dr. Griffin was stationed as a Chief Medical Officer. Only few beds were occupied by sleeping pacients, and I took a place in the corner.

"You should go back to your place" she said with a calm tone of voice, putting one hand on my shoulder.  "I talked recently with your father, he doesn't like that you are spending whole nights here."

From some time I was helping Abby, trying to get rid of my free time. I have learned a lot although I couldn't assist with operations, I could still observe. About a year ago Abby's daughter, Clarke, was locked up for treason. I didn't know the details, but I knew it had something to do with the death of her father. I tried to fill the hole in Abby after she lost her husband and the bigger contact with daughter. I tried to fill the hole I could not fill in myself.

It all took place a few moths after the whole community discovered a secret about the second child of Aurora Blake. On the Ark every family was limited to one child, but the Blake's family didn't comply with it. I was the one who revealed that secret. At first I really believed that I was doing the right thing, but I realized how big mistake it was. Because of me a woman was killed, and a girl in my age went to the prison.

Since that I had trouble with sleeping, and relation with my father. I felt out of place, I felt guilty. Even though people didn't judge me, there was still that one person, whose gaze caused that the hell had become a reality. Bellamy Blake.

When I was sixteen I overheard his conversation with Octavia. His sister which he hid under the floorboard. I remember terror and anger in his eyes, when he saw me. I will never forget this moment. He tried to catch me, but I was faster. Bellamy was back then about twenty-one years old  freshly baked guard. Of course he lost this job, also from my fault.

"I have nothing else to do" I replied, grabbing another sheet of paper.

"What about getting some sleep?"

"It can wait"

Abby sighed and stared at me for a moment. In the end  she left the room as soon as I promised her that I will soon finish paper work. I lay back in chair and started to stare into the darkness in front of me. I was wondering how Abby is able to hide emotions after her loss. She was strong, stronger than me. I have often visited Clarke who turned out to be the only person to whom I was able to open. You can say that we've become friends, 'you can say' because she was locked up and our meetings were limited to a few hours per week.

I didn't know how much time had passed, but I got up from my seat intending to take a walk. The whole Ark was asleep and I could enjoy the loneliness. However, at some point my attention was caught by a noise coming from other parts of the ship. I crossed the door using an access card which I gained long ago with the help of one of the mechanics named Raven.

I stood terrified noticing crowd of people being led somewhere by the guards. I hid around the corner, trying to figure out what was going on.  I could see my father, Marcus Kane, and worried Abby. In one moment she grabbed one of the persons by hand and pulled girl to herself. It was Clarke. Seeing this it occurred to me that they were all prisoners, but nothing else made sense.

"You're being sent to the ground, all 100 of you." I heard Abby's voice, and my heart beat sped up.

I suddenly felt that I shouldn't be there. Clarke was pulled away from her mother and I turned around with a feeling of terror. In the same moment I hit my head into something, or rather someone. It crossed my mind that I might be dreaming, when in front of me I saw Bellamy Blake in creased guard's uniform. He seemed to be more upset than usually. He measured me with furious gaze, and I really wanted to hide somewhere.  I was going to say something, but my voice got stuck in my throat.

"You're always where you should not be." he growled.

Then he took a swing and I felt a dull pain. Losing control I fell to the ground and everything was filled with darkness.
