I gritted my teeth as I sat up on the stiff metal table with a struggle. I placed my feet on the ground and braced myself to stand up, Octavia burst in through the tarp. Her eyes searched the drop ship before landing on me and rushing over.
"There's a pod falling from the sky." Octavia announced as she stood in front of me.
"A pod? What are you talking about?" I pushed off the table gently and scrunched my face as I stood on my own two feet.
"The Ark has sent someone down, we'll be able to contact them. I thought you'd want to know." There was something else in her eyes, something she was holding back.
"Octavia, I'm sorry for before with Atom. I know you were hurting, we both were." I apologised, I just wanted everything to be okay with us again.
"I should be the one apologising, you nearly died and I just stood there." Octavia hugged me gently and I hugged her back.
"I'm going to get some rest, but I'll see you in the morning. Bellamy, Clarke and Finn are leaving at first light to check out the pod." Octavia spoke and I nodded, I watched her back as she left.
I needed to find a way out of camp, I knew the way Bellamy was acting strange after Monty fried all the wristbands. I needed to talk to him, he was hiding something and I had a feeling that he wasn't going to wait until first light to go to the pod. I huffed and stepped forward, there was only dull pain running along my abdomen. With the seaweed and alcohol that Clarke used it had healed much better, I made my way towards the tarp and pushed it to the side. The crackle of the fire sounded, but there were very few people left outside. Most had retreated to the comfort of their tents while a few had the plan of doing the same.
I spotted Clarke and Finn talking quietly near a tent, Clarke was laughing while Finn had a goofy smile on his face. I watched as they disappeared into the tent beside them, I headed towards Bellamy's tent which happened to be the largest tent of course. I peeled the flap back to see a girl lying on her stomach with only a blanket over her body, Bellamy wasn't in sight. He had been a womaniser ever since we had landed so the girl hadn't surprised me much, I cursed under my breath lightly and turned around. I shrieked in surprise as Judah stood with his arms crossed over his chest and a frown on his face.
"What are you doing out here? Shouldn't you be getting some rest?" Judah questioned.
"All I've doing is resting, I think I was starting to get cabin fever. Besides, I need to pee." I half lied, I didn't need to pee but I was getting cabin fever.
"Oh.. uh do you need eh help or..?" Judah trailed and blushed intensely, I laughed at him and shook my head.
