Chapter 2 - Where We belong

~Bellamy's POV~

I stand there speechless, not knowing what to say, what to do. So, I just breath and smile, I'm going back to earth.

I'm going to see Clarke.

"When?" I ask still shocked by the events that have just unravelled in front of me.

"ASAP, I need you to gather the remainders of the food and get the suits ready." She says making her way back down the hallway towards the Ark's life support.

I nod and walk the opposite way down the hall, the sooner I get down to that beautiful planet, the better.

~~

I feel the rumble of the jets increase and see Raven flick a brightly coloured orange switch on one of the many control panels. I see her push 3 buttons before a voice starts speaking over a loud speaker positioned inside the small rocket.

"Launch in minus 10 seconds."

I grip the arm rests of my chair and look across the ship at everyone else, Murphy and Emori's hands firmly grasped and Harper and Monty doing the same. I look next to me and see Echo, her eyes closed and her mouth moving slowly, words pouring out. What I can only assume are priers to the Grounder Gods.

I feel the rumbling starting to intense and soon I hear a loud click, I feel my restraints tighten and my stomach move to my throat. I grunt and push myself down into my seat and close my eyes shut.

I wasn't paying attention to the count down.

I hear Raven shout something and open my eyes to see her looking at me, how can she be so calm?

"Where nearly in the atmosphere." She says flicking more switches and buttons with her gloved hands. I look to my wrist band and see the small percentage flashing a bright green colour, 15% oxygen left.

I take one last deep breath and start to relax, focusing on the loud roar of the engine and let my memories take me back to my first time venturing to earth, not knowing what was to await me.

Not expecting people who wore animal skinned clothing and bones as masks, not expecting one to fall in love with Octavia. Not knowing about the dreaded Mountain Men or the commander in a ruined long lost city miles away, the dreaded beasts and grounders who lived in the oceans and the warriors who represent their clans. Robots obsessed with a new world run entirely by her chips.

How air couldn't possibly be so clean and how water wasn't rare but instead could be found under your feet or in rushing rivers and ponds. How the trees created a canopy shielding your body from the scorching hot sun but letting enough light in, just enough to let you see the worlds true beauty.

The tasteless flowers and the juicy meat that cooked over the flames of the fires. The butterflies that could only be seen at night by those lucky enough to witness their beauty.

How there where descendants  from some of the first humans on earth living in a mountain you were instructed to be sent to. How I was warned that the earth and all its magic and beauty could be toxic by the one person I though I would never miss a day in my life.

How in the past 1298 days I have missed her so much, so, so much.

~~

I feel a hard jolt and feel my lungs hit the back of the chair I'm sitting in. the air leaving my lungs and filling the helmet covering my head. I pull down air and open my eyes, meted by the smiling faces of my friends.

I watch as Raven flicks one last switch, one that I read the label of, AUTO PILOT. I watch as she stretches and pulls her arms behind her neck and gives everyone a gapping smile.

"Welcome back." She says pointing out the small window near the latch of the steal door. I look out and watch the misty clouds float past our window. We have made it, where through the atmosphere.

"I have set the location for the middle of that green patch right overthere." She says pointing out the window and down towards a large patch of green, trees and bushes covering the new landscape.

I smile at the thought of having my feet plastered deep into the soil of earth again and try to imagine the clean air filling my lungs once again.

I feel the rocket jolt again and sway to the left and soon the rocket is talking to us again, a thing I have not liked since A.L.I.E. I feel it sway ever so slightly and slow down and then a large clunk, the same clunk I heard my first day on earth.

Without thinking I unlatch my harness and reach for the door. I grasp my hand around the handle and look to everyone else, I see a nod from Monty and a huge smile from Raven. I take all of them as a yes. I push open the door and twist the handle. I don't even step onto the dirt before ripping off my helmet and looking into the bright blue sky above me, the clouds we had just recently passed, water vapour now travelling down to the ground.

I fill my lungs with the air, Clarke was right, it does feel better than the first time, so much better. I see the top of a tree out of the corner of my eye and gaze at the colour it reflects into my eyes, the green just like the forests that used ot cover the earth. But my eyes wonder back to the sky, reminding me of her eyes.

Clarke

I look down from the sky quickly and to the huge crater of dirt and rubble littering the ground, the dirt rich and brown, sinking into the cracks in my worn boots, the air now pulsing through my body.

I look across the crater and to the tree line, a small piece of metal poking out from behind a tree. what looks like tires and a type of disk stuck to the roof of the metal bars, a rover.

Then I see her, blond locks cut to her shoulders, leather strapped around her body and the ark's symbol strapped to her right shoulder. Brown, worn boots covering her feet and a sniper plastered to her side, her finger on the trigger ready as always. I can see her eyes from where I'm standing, as blue as the sky. I watch her mouth open and her voice echo down into the carter when I am now.

"You shouldn't breath the air, it might be toxic!"

Leave a review and tell me what you think, thanks.
