Grounded // The 100 AU

Amara
The metallic smell, the constant buzzing sound, the windows giving different views of space, these are all things you get used to when living on the ark.

I was walking to the masquerade party that was being held at someone's "house" in farm station. I was dressed in my ankle high black boots with a pair of faded jeans and a black tank top. Nothing too showy. But enough. With my hair tied half up half down. I also had a black lace mask that I only made for this occasion.

As I approached the party, I realized that this party was bigger then I had originally thought. People were all dancing together in a big group. Some dancing in an inappropriate manor, some just jumping around.

I tied my mask on and jumped into the large group of people. Letting all of my worries go, I began just focusing on moving with the beat and the many drunk teenagers around me.

I was about to get a drink, when another body bumped into me. I was about to turn around to make a snarky comment, but they beat me to it.

"Oh shit! I'm so sorry, I'm so clumsy." A girl around my height said, glancing at me in a nervous state.

"It's okay. Don't worry about it." I said with a reassuring smile. "I don't think I've ever seen you around here before."

She froze and began trying to stutter out an answer, clearly panicking. She looked over to a boy in a guards uniform and he gave her a stern look."I'm not usually the party type, I guess"

"Oh. I am." I said with a laugh."I'm Amara"

"Octavia." She said, still looking on edge, but smiled none the less. She seemed to search my eyes for a second before slightly calming down."Cool name by the way!"

"Thanks, not my favorite though." I sighed, shrugging. "Octavia.. as in Agustus' sister?"

"Um, yeah. Something like that." Octavia spoke, again slightly panicky. She looked over to the boy who looked concerned, and nervous.

As I looked at the boy more in depth, I realized that he and Octavia had some similar qualities. Like the fact that they had the same Chestnut brown hair, or the same shaped doe eyes, and the same flicker they both got in their eyes when they seemed nervous. Then it clicked.

"Oh my god," I mumbled under my breath. I reached out and touched Octavia on the shoulder. "Is that your brother?"

She whipped her head around, and looked at me with big, scared eyes. She shook my hand off started to run away, but I stopped her by grabbing her mid-arm.

"It's okay, you can trust me. I won't say a word to anyone." I spoke with the most honesty I could muster into my tone. Octavia again searched my eyes, seemingly not finding anything but honesty. She still continued to look weary of me.

"Why? Why wouldn't you tell anyone? Most people would go straight to the council with this kind of information." Octavia said, staring me straight in the eye.

"Because Thelonius Jaha floated both my pregnant mother and innocent father." I said sadly, but seriously. I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes but I blinked them away.

My mother became pregnant about 2 years ago, when I was 14. I cared for her, kept quiet her pregnancy like my father told me to. Some how it got back to the council, the "government" of the ark. Chancellor Jaha came and took my mother and father. She was 6 months in, visibly pregnant, so she could not lie about it. He put them both in the chamber and floated them. All while I watched, restrained by two guards.

"I'm so sorry" Octavia whispered, looking at me with sympathy in her eyes. She lost the nervous look in her eyes after that.

Me and Octavia got to know each other really well that night. I learned that she is 16, the same age as me, and she loves dancing. Also I learned that she has been being hidden under the floorboards her whole life, using a small teddy bear as her comfort. Another thing I also learned that she and her brother are very close. His name is Bellamy. He's only a few years older then us, he also bought her the teddy bear she loves so much.

Then, the guards started coming around asking for ID. When they came up to Octavia she went completely silent, seeing as she isn't supposed to be here. One of them grabbed her and she fought him, smacking him across his face and trying to run when another one tried to grab her. This time I stepped in.

I kicked him in his "manhood" and punched him square in the face. When I turned around to grab Octavia and run, she was already being restrained by two guards. So I tried to get them off of her and someone zapped me from behind. I shrieked, and two guards grabbed me.

"I'm sorry O!" I screamed and fought against the guards. She looked at me with scared eyes, and smiled a little. Then I was zapped again and blacked out...
