"Hey Bellemy, im leaving camp. Clarke isnt here and you are the only other person why is remotely close to a leader."
"Alright be safe try to be back before dark." I give him a brief nod before I start walking to the woods.

I walk through the woods looking at what earth has become. I hear a twig snap and I whip around. There was a deer in a clearing that had both its heads facing where the twig snaped. I moved closer to the clearing hoping to see what it is. I see Clarke, the Asian boys, a boy with Goggles, Octavia, and the space walker. The all freeze trying not to scare the deer away. After a few minutes they left and I walked into the clearing, and layed down. I looked up into the sky and tried to find the Arc. My home.

I walked to where my second Tris says she saw her. I watched the sky person, she just stared into the sky. Her face looks like it has been perfectly sculpted. I felt a tug on my arm. I looked down at Tris she had her bow ready. "Shall ai frag em op (shall I kill her.)" I shook my head no and she lowered her weapon.
"We need to head back to camp now." The small girl gave me a nod of understand and got up, as she did she steped on and broke a twig. I looked at the sky person. Her head snaped to us and her eyes were wide. I knew she saw us. She got up and started to run away. Looking at us every now and then to see if we were following.
I took my bow and shot her in the leg and she fell over, still trying to run away. I walked over to her, and right before I hit her in the head I saw something in her eyes. She wasn't afraid of who we were and what we were going to do with her. She had a look of admiration as she looked at me. I hit her over the head with a rock and picked her up.
Walking back to camp Tris looked at me. "Are you sure this is a good idea. I mean what if she ends up killing us." I gave her a brief look before I looked back at where I was going.
"Though your fear is justified you have nothing to worry about my dear girl, she will not harm us." She looked at me unsure. "We are walking to the river. The other sky people are going there and we need to stop them. I want you to injure the first person that crosses. Do not kill. We will use them as bait for food. Do you understand." She gave a nod and a yes.
She left to the area where I had told her to go. I continued carrying the girl. I looked her over and tried to look at every feature. As I got to camp people looked at me and the girl. I brought her to our cells and stung her up. She would wake in a few hours.
As I waited for her to wake I treated her wound, while I was doing that the girl awoke and scooted as close to the wall as she could.
"Who are you, where am I, what are you going to do to me?" I watched as the girl frantically looked around in panic.
I put my hand on her cheeks and her body visibly relaxed bit she still was paniced. "My name is Anya. I am this villages leader. You are a sky person and I need you to answer my questions." She looked scared and I just wanted to stop that fear. "Where are you from?" I asked her.
"We are from the sky, the stars themselves." Her answer took me off gaurd. The stars.
"What are your intentions here." I asked and she looked confused.
"Our intentions are survival. We have hundreds of people in the sky, they are runningo ut of oxygen. We are here to prove the earth is survivable." I looked at her. More sky people that cant happen.
"What is that. That on your wrist." She looked down and messed with it like she was examining it.
"This Anay, transmits my vitals to the Arc. To the rest of the sky people. It is what they can tell we are alive by. It will show spikes in heart rate etc. People without this on there wrist is dead as far as the Arc knows."
I look at her wrist, and grab a knife. I grab onto her arm and put the knife under her wrist band, and pull the knife up until it comes off. She screams in pain until it is finally off. Once its off she grabs it and examines it. "Its fried." The girl looks at me and stands up. "You broke it now my family will think I am dead. Is that what you wanted." Her voice grew in volume as she talked.
The sky girl just kept talking and talking. I pushed her aganst the wall hard. I heard a small gasp come from her mouth, and I kissed her.
