2,199 Days After Praimfaya

Bumpy ride

Clarke's POV:

Soon enough it's just me tidying around- even though there's not that much of tidying to do. Tiredly, I drag myself up the stairs and towards the room I made for myself and Madi, it used to belong to Alie but now it consists of loads of things I made from spare bits around the lab.

As I open the door, I see Madi and Bellamy talking in my room. Confused, I look to them as they stand talking quietly at the edge of my bed but once they see me they stop.

" Everything okay?" I ask them, my brows furrowed

" Yeah, Bellamy and I were just talking!" Madi chirps

" Yeah? Anything I can help with?" I ask them and she turns to Bellamy in hope for an answer

" It's all covered here. Madi was just showing me to my room." He nods to her expectantly and she eagerly agrees as they pile out of the room, brushing past me but I grab Bellamys arm and raise an eyebrow

" You were never good at lying." I state

" Looks like I've gotten pretty good at it." He smirks before shaking off my hold and walking down the hall with Madi.

Slightly confused, I shake my head but I climb into my bed nevertheless and wait for Madi to join me. We've always slept in the same bed since the day I found her, normally we'd have nightmares and eventually calm each other down but the past year it became easier for us, I guess I began to move on but I never really did. They just stopped, knowing I had someone there for me. When the only other people who ever were are either dead, in the bunker or they were up in space.

Eventually, I hear the sound of footsteps running down the hall: Madi. But, she stops at the door with a wild grin on her face- what's she done now?

" Can I sleep with Raven tonight? I want her to tell me stories of the ground. I like her stories better." She smirks

" Oh really why?" I challenge, hiding the wave sadness wash over me.

" Because she tells the truth about people." Madi sticks her tongue out," And I get to find out the real details about you and Bellamy." Before I can respond she's running back down the hall laughing to herself, the silence only returns as I hear a door slam shut fitted with little giggles from Madi and Raven.

Why is she so obsessed with that?

Bellamy's POV:

I'd been asleep for hours, on the bed Madi had prepared for me however long ago but I wasn't tired. I tried to sleep; I just can't. Instead I wandered around the halls of Beccas lab in attempt to remember everything, i haven't forgotten a thing though.

Suddenly, scream rips through the silent of the night and next thing I know is that I'm running to where those screams are coming from; I know it's Clarke.

If something's happened- I can't lose her. Not again.

Panting, I reach the foot of her doorway and there she is: crying, tossing and turning within her bed as tears stain her cheeks- her nightmares controlling her. Hurriedly, I rush over to her and gently sit on the bed beside her, taking her fragile body and gripping her sides so she doesn't hurt herself. I gently wake her and her eyes burst open, looking up to me through her terrified eyes but just now softening.

" Your here." She whispers before awkwardly coughing.

" I get them too." I tell her quietly

That's when I realize how close we are, so I pull away slightly to give her some space. Together, we sit on her bed while she has her legs crossed and playing with a piece of string in her hands; I look at her intensely.

" Wanna talk about it?" I ask softly, not wanting to press the issue

She shakes her head, I begin to stand up but she pulls on my arm. Looking down at her, she seems uncomfortable but in a different way.

" Stay." She blurts out," But if you don't- I get it. It's just...you know, nightmares and all and-" she stutters and I raise an eyebrow

" You don't have to explain." I tell her,and she nods slowly before I get into the bed with her and we just sit talking. Not about her nightmares, about how life was for her and me.

~~~

Gently, my eyes open themselves and I feel myself curled up beside a blonde. There she is, cradled in my arms- sound asleep- only just then remembering the events of last night. Slowly, i unravel myself from her and pull on my boots- being careful to not wake her up.

Walking out the door, i close it behind me leaving Clarke sleeping: she deserves to sleep because clearly she hadn't been.

Soon, I'm met with the rest of the group and they're all huddling around a table, most likely discussing plans.

" Where's Clarke?" Madi asks as soon as she sees me

" Asleep." I answer avoiding my gaze to everyone as I know what they're all thinking.

" She should be here." Raven states agitated

" She needs sleep, we'll wake her just before we set off." I reply, my answer final and they all nod," Right so what's the plan for the bunker."

" We dig, its all we can do." Harper answers

" That will take forever, the tower at Polis fell onto it, blocking any chance at a radio going through, our signal wasn't strong enough but if we can find a better one then we'll be able to reach them." Madi implies; Raven already has an idea forming in her head

" No Raven, it's too risky." I tell her, knowing her thoughts

" I'm sorry, did I miss something?" Murphy questions

" Raven wants us to go back to the Exodus ship and use their signals to get one to the bunker- it's suicide, you know this Raven." I explain to everyone

" Fine, I'll do it." She huffs

" With that leg?" Murphy smirks," No way."

" Why don't we go to where the bunker is and see the damage from there it might-" Monte stops talking and starts looking behind me, instantly we all turn around to see an angry Clarke.

She trots down the stairs and stands right next to me, glaring at me like she used to back to our first days on the ground.

" Why didn't anyone wake me?" She asks, directly at me

" You needed sleep." I state for the whole group.

" Now Madi, this is where Clarke shouts at Bellamy for looking out for her, Bellamy gets annoyed because he's trying to help her but Clarke doesn't want it: but that never usually stops him. So they shout and argue and it all ends with them glaring at each other until one of them breaks or someone else gets involved. A few hours later, they've forgotten all about it." Murphy smirks and I glare at him.

" I'll decide when I sleep thank you, now what's the plan." She says ignoring my presence

" We go to Polis so Raven can take a look how how deep we're talking, then she'll use her mechanical wizardry to form some sort of estimation of how long it'll take to dig them out. We've also got a plan to get in contact with the bunker-" I tell her but she interrupts

" The signal won't reach, not from the rover- unless.." she suddenly clicks on at the idea of one of us going into the Exodus ship again to use the signal

" The exodus ship has a larger radius for signals. We can get through if we take over the ship." Raven finishes

" Ok, what are we waiting for?"

" We were waiting for you." Monte suggests sheepishly

" Okay well lets go." Clarke almost smiles.

Sorry for the really long wait and omg I kinda realizes it's been a year since I joined- wtf😂😂
