Survivors

Cold

I decide to run into the clearing, smiling and laughing. I look upon the blue ridge mountains. 'We made it' I smile up to the sky. 'We're in Virginia' Where we predicted we'd land. 

'It looks amazing up here' Bellamy says breathlessly. 'There should be enough space for them to land around here.' I say. I drop my backpack and pull out a small garden-light looking object, I use the spike and stab it into the ground. The light bulb glows, I run back to the tree line making Bellamy run back with me. I lift up my sleeve to look at my watch, similar to that of an apple watch I have jarvis uploaded on to it. I look directly at the screen. 

'Jarvis, connect me to the bridge, alert the team. We survived' I talk into my watch.

'When will we know-' Bellamy begins as my father cuts him off.

'We're here 'Em, you okay?' Tony asks, I smile in relief.

'I'm here dad' I breathe out with a tear falling from my eye.

'We can see your light on the radar, how is it down there? Is it safe to aim for?' Tony asks.

'It's uneven terrain, I'll clear some more trees, I'll re- position them around the top to make sure you don't go off the edge. Remember the controls are auto to lock on to the  light's position, check the circumference and check that the space is accurate. If not I wil have to re adjust the light. I reply. 

'Okay 'Em, I've checked you might need to adjust the light down by four inches' Tony replies.

I run towards the light and pull it down and double check the distance. 'All done dad' I reply.

'Re-calibrating... Perfect. I've locked your position, we will land in approximately five hours. Make sure if the kids are based near the top, you shield them, okay? I've set up auto to start bringing us down' Tony says.

'I'll watch, and make sure you come down safely. If anything happens, call me okay? 

I miss you all' I reply as something catches in my throat. 

'See you soon 'Em' He replies as the radio becomes static-y. 

I leave my bag in the tree line. 'Could you wait down here for a minute and radio Clarke to check-in, I've got to do something' I say with tears already filling my eyes.

I walk a little further up, brushing close to the drop. I breathe in deeply, the pit of my stomach twisting in anticipation. I walk back down to Bellamy, zipping up my bag and slinging it over my shoulder. I set a timer on my watch for four hours. I turn back looking to the glowing light. I wave my arm and it becomes invisible from the visible spectrum.

I walk back with Bellamy, as the night falls, my eyes shift to a golden yellow. He looks to me and whispers 'Whoa what the-?'  

I look to him in confusion, 'What?' I say to him aggressively 'Your eyes' He stutters back. 

I look to the darkness of my watch, to realize my eyes are glowing. 'Sorry, they do that when it get's dark. Sorry for snapping at you.' I reply.

'Hey it's alright' he replies.

'So, you were talking to us through that Desire program all along?' He asks.

'Yeah, I did, I wanted to know what you were all like, religions, routines, and all that.' I reply hesitantly.

'I was talking to you the entire time?' He replies shocked.

'Yeah, don't worry, I never talked to anyone about our conversations. I never wanted you to find out, but, I couldn't believe It was you, I felt like I had a duty to know who you are.' I reply.

'That's why you stood up for Octavia' He says shocked.

'I knew what it felt like to be a secret, when I was younger, no one was allowed to know the truth behind my powers, I couldn't tell anyone about the supernatural. It would scare people to the core. Knowing that there was a world beyond their logic and science, but once I was allowed to meet new people who became my family quickly, they accepted me. I learned how to become visible. I became the woman I am today.' I reply smiling to him.

He grabs my arm as he notices the wall completed and a watch tower with two guys watching over the wall. 'You might want to change your eyes' Bellamy suggests. I focus on his. My eyes darken and return to normal. We walk to the gate and call Clarke.

We hear shouts within the camp as the gate opens, we walk in and notice it all set up. Tents around the perimeter, dispersing from the drop ship, small fires litter the camp with the kids all eating the rations sent with them. I smile at Bellamy as he runs over to Octavia.

I walk up to Clarke who is standing in the doorway of the drop-ship. 

'I'll just sleep in here', I say whilst pointing inside the ship.

'We made sure you and Bellamy get a tent together, since you two are the leaders and all.' Clarke says with a sarcastic tone. 'Do you have a problem with me Clarke?' I ask seriously.

'No, I just thought that since you two have a thing... you might want to share a tent' She says innocently. 

'No I'm fine, thanks' I reply.

Bellamy rushes upto us, 'which tent is ours?' He asks me, 'Ours?' I reply.

'Yeah ours' Bellamy replies.

'Your tent is the one closest to the drop ship on the left side, see over there' Clarke tells us and points. 'Thanks Clarke' Bellamy replies, softly grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the tent.

'Why would you want to share a tent with me?' I ask with a growl.

'It's not that bad, anyway, Clarke is sharing with my sister and a bunch of others. I hate crowds, plus I knew you might not like to be surrounded by loads of people. When your family comes down I thought you might need somewhere to feel free to relax' He responds.

I look at my watch and notice I have three hours and fifty minutes to sleep before I have to go and keep a watch out for the ship.

'I have to be up an hour before they are meant to be here, I have to make sure they come down safe.' I say to him. Standing up in the tent he is standing in front of me.

I flick my wrist and make a mattress appear, along with cosy blankets. He looks behind him and smiles. I leave my clothes on as he takes off his shirt and shoes. I take off my shoes and slip under the covers. Bellamy falls asleep on the other side, both facing outwards.

Falling asleep both Bellamy and I roll facing each other sub-consciously.
