Skaikur

ch.8

A week later.....

It's unity day. Jaha is making his speech as he does right before the pagent of how we came to be.

I'm not paying attention. Clarke is talking to Finn. Jasper comes out with a huge jug.

"I call this unity day juice!" He yells.

Everyone hoots and hollers.

Axel brings back two cups.

"I don't drink want to keep mg head sharp." I say.

"Come on have some fun. " he says.

I take the cup. I take a sip. It's disgusting. I make a face. Axel laughs at me.

"Shut up." I say. "I don't drink."

He chugs his. "See it's good. Now go have a good time." He pulls me to the party.

I see Clarke leave with Finn. Soon after bellamy, jasper, and Raven do. I pay no attention to it maybe they are going hunting.

I go to the radio. I ask to speak with my father.

He comes up. Tears in his eyes.

"What's the matter?" I ask.

"We had an attack today. Your grandmother died." He says.

"What. Grandma is dead?" I start to cry.

"It'll be ok I'll be there in 2 days. I love you i have to get to work." He leaves.

I walk out everyone is still partying.

I run out of the camp. I don't know where I'm running I just run. I run to a bridge. I see Clarke, Finn, and Octavia. They are with grounders.

"Clarke?" I ask confused.

"Athena?" Clarke looks back at me.

"Who is this?" One of the grounders asks. She looks like the leader.

"She's one of us. Just a child." She says.

Jasper screams. And his guns go off.

"Run. Run." I hear bellamy yell.

I do. Finn takes my hand and pulls me a long so I run faster.

We run to the camp.

I go inside.

"What hell just happened?" I ask raven.

"We just started a war." She says.

I look up. "A drop ship?"

"Looks like daddy came early." Raven walks away.

I keep looking at it. It's way to fast. There is no parachute. The drop ship explodes.

"Daddy." I whisper. I drop to the ground.

The next day we find the other drop ship. It's demolished. No survivors.

"It's gonna be ok." Clarke says.

"We lost our parents. We have to morn. Our doctor your mother. Council members. My father. Gone. How are we gonna survive this? And were at war with the grounders." I go off.

"Lets just worry about the grounders for now." Bellamy says.

We walk back to camp.

Murphy is there he looks horrible.

"He said he was with the grounders." Miller says.

I take a wash cloth and wipe his face.

"We told him what would happen if he came back." Bellamy points a gun at him.

"No we take care of him until he's better than we make him leave again." Clarke says.

"What happens if he doesn't leave?" Bellamy looks at Murphy with disgust.

"Than we kill him." Clarke says walking away.

I get him some water.

I walk out.

Soon I hear people screaming. I walk out of the tent and see people are bleeding from everywhere.

"Murphy was infected with a virus. We need everyone who came in contact with him to the drop ship. To be quarantined." Clarke says.

I go to the drop ship.
She checks me out I have no symptoms.

"Will you help with the sick?" Octavia asks.

I nod. I go over to Murphy.

He's feeling better. Axel comes in. He bleeding from his eyes.

"No no no." I say.

"I'm fine. Just a little cold." He laughs. He coughs up blood. He passes out

"You're gonna be ok. Please don't die on me. You're the only thing I have left. I love you." I lay on his chest. "Please be ok. Please." My eyes well up in tears.

Murphy needs help with others. I wipe my eyes. I get up and start giving others water. I wipe there faces.

Soon I hear something. A bomb. The bomb. They did it. We are safe from a grounder attack.

"Athena?" I hear someone say. It's Axel.

I run over to him. "You're ok. You're ok." I cradle his face in my hands.

"I'm ok." He says. "Before I passed our I heard you say something."

"What?" I ask embarrassed.

"You said you love me." He smirks.

"You must have been hallucinating." I act dumb.

"No I'm almost positive you said it."

"You need to rest. I'll be back later." I get up.

"Don't leave me. We should talk about this."

"You were hallucinating." I walk out of the drop ship.

I can't believe he heard that
