Chapter Twenty Two

Thanks for reading you guys are awesome!

Clarke's point of view

"So, Madi," I begin a bit loudly, coughing as a recovery. "What are you doing out here?"
Madi shrugged nonchalantly, "I came out here to see how you guys were doing with the, um," she began to start laughing again, but she cleared her throat when I shot her a look, "how the hunting was going."
"All we managed to find was a hare," I wiggled the shoulder that it hung limply over, "but even that was lucky out here."
"I found a bush of those sweet berries near camp," Madi chipped in proudly.
"That's great, Madi." I smiled down at her.

Bellamy's point of view

"Hey Madi why don't you go with Bellamy for a bit while I clean the rabbit. Okay?"
Madi looks up at clarke with a smile, "okay".
Madi turns to me and grins. "You can help me with the fire."
"Sure," I smile slightly.
Madi grabs my hand and pulls me away. As we walk toward the fire I can hear clarke laughing.
"So bellamy..."
I look to her seated on the log, and sit down to, placing my hands on my knees.
"Yeah?"
"How did Uh..." she looks over to clarke, who is cleaning the har, looks back and continues. "You and clarke meet?"
I clear my throat, placing my elbows on my knees, grasping one hand with the other. "Well... when we first came to Earth we were in the drip ship. The first time I saw her was when I was about to open the drop ship door. Clarke run up and yelled at me to not because the air could be toxic."
A questioning look spreads onto Madi's face. "And what did you do?"
"Well I didn't listen... if the air was toxic we would of all died then and there," I sigh. Looking back to clarke who is walking over.

Clarke's point of view

As I was cleaning the hare carcass, Raven walked over to me.
"Hey Clarke. So, I've been thinking about those robot things that the Eligus people have-"
"Shells," I corrected.
"Right, Shells. Anyways, do you think, once this whole thing blows over and yours and Madi's lives are officially off the line, we could maybe... capture one?"
I let out a laugh, "Are you serious?"
"Come on, think about it! If I could see how it was made, I might even be able to replicate it."
"I think talking to the people who make them would be a better idea, don't you?"
Raven mock-pouted, sticking out her lower lip. "Party pooper."
I laughed, before lowering my voice. "Listen, while Bellamy and I were hunting earlier we saw a mutated bear. It was a ways away from camp, but we still need to be cautious. Would you mind second watch tonight?"
Raven nodded, growing concerned. "Yeah, definitely."
"Perfect. I'll wake you up once I'm done my shift. Oh, and don't tell anyone else about this, okay? I don't want anyone to lose sleep over it."
She agreed, and I took the cleaned carcass over to the fire side for it to cook, spotting Bellamy speaking to Madi.
"Hey, what are you two talking about?" I asked.

Bellamy's point of view

I look up to clarke, holding the clean carcass.
"Madi was asking about the first time we met," I explain. Clarke looks over to Madi who is smirking, giving the young girl a glare.
"Okay than," I laugh looking between the two.
"Hey Clarke," I whisper pulling her away. "So who's watching camp tonight? Ya know... with the bear."
