To Survive (The 100 Fan fiction)

Chapter Four

"So, Mount Weather. When do we leave?" Finn says, walking over towards Clarke who is bent down next to Wells leg.

"Right now. We will be back tomorrow with food." I say, standing up from a fallen over log.

"How are you three gonna carry enough food for a hundred?" Wells asks with a frown. Once Clarke finishes bandaging up his leg, she stands up turning around. Finn spins his head around, looking for someone, then grabs two guys forcefully by the shoulders, and spins them to face the group. "Five of us. Can we go now?"

"Sounds like a party, make it six?" Says a voice behind us. We all turn our heads and see Octavia strolling up beside us, with her brother in tow. "Hey, what the hell are you doing?" He says, pulling her by her forearm to face him. "Going for a walk." She replies, sarcasm laced in her tone.

Clarke grabs Finn's hand and holds it up to her face, staring at the wristband that looked like it had taken a beating. There were scratches on the band and red marks on his skin around it. "Hey, we're you trying to take this off?" She asks demandingly.

"Yeah, so?" He replies sounding bored.

"So, this wristband transmits your vital signs to the Ark. Take it off, and they'll think you're dead." She pushes.

"Should I care?" He says leaning towards her.

Everyone waits for Clarke's response, but instead it's me who speaks up.

"Well I don't know, do you want the people you love to think you're dead? Do you want them to follow you down here in two months? Because they won't if they think we're dying." I say, concluding my sudden outburst. Finn looks down, looking slightly ashamed.

"Okay, now let's go." Clarke says. Finn is the first to turn around, and we all follow behind him, excluding Bellamy and Octavia.

She looks up at her brother expectantly. "Go on." He sighs out. Octavia smiles and stands on her tippy toes to give him a kiss on the cheek. Both Bellamy and Wells watch as the six of them walk off into the forest.

"Before you get any ideas, Finns mine." Octavia says, walking alongside Clarke.

"Before you get any ideas, I don't care." She retorts, speeding up her pace.

We walk through a field of purple flowers and Finn stops to pick one. He turns around and places it behind Octavia's ear. "Now that, my friend, is game." Jasper says watching as she smiles at Finn.

"That, my friend, is poison sumac." The asian boy states matter of factly, picking one of the flowers and twirling it between his forefinger and thumb.

"What?" Octavia says, flicking it out of her hair in desperate attempt to get it away from herself, "It is?" She says, shaking her hands up and down to try to get away from the flower.

"The flowers aren't poisonous, they're medicinal. Claiming, actually." He replies, popping one into his mouth. Octavia looks back at him in surprise.

"His family grows all the pharmaceuticals on the Ark." Goggles replies to her unasked question.

"Hey guys, can you try to keep up?" Clarke says, a few meters ahead of the group.

"Come on Clarke, how do you block all of this out." Finn says, lifting his arms up and motioning around us. 

"Well it's simple. I wonder, why we haven't seen any animals? Maybe it's because there are none. Maybe we've been exposed to enough radiation to kill us. Sure is pretty though, come on." She says turning back around.
