APART - Sequel of Together

Chapter 6: charlotte

           Raven and Octavia left to the lab. Bellamy and Clarke were in the hallway talking about the girl. "I've tried talking to her, she won't say anything," Clarke said to Bellamy worried.  
             "It's ok we will figure something out." Bellamy grabbed Clarkes hand. She looked up at him and smiled. Madi tipped toed behind then into the cell.
               The blonde girl was sitting down, scared. "Hi." Madi waved. "My name is Madi." Madi smiled. The girl didn't react back, she just stared at Madi. "Here." Madi pulled out a piece of bread out of her pocket. "Are you hungry?"
                Madi sat down a foot away infront of the girl. Madi put her hand out with the bread on it. The girl looked at the bread then at Madi. She grabbed it quickly and ate it fast. "Woah next time I'll bring you more," Madi laughed. The girl gave the slightest smile. "What's your name?" Madi asked.
                  The girl looked at Madi. "My name." She said softly. "It's Charlotte." Charlotte smiled, than Madi.
                   "Well hello Charlotte. How old are you? I'm thirteen!" Madi said proudly. 
                   "I'm fifteen." Charlotte whispered. Madi nodded. The door riddled. Clarke and Bellamy entered.
                    "Madi!" Clarke yelled. Bellamy ran to Madi picking her up. He observed her face to see if she was okay. "Are you okay? Is she hurt?" Clarke stood by Bellamy.
                    Madi pushed his hands off her. "Relax, I'm fine." Madi stepped away from Clarke and Bellamy. "I wanted to see her, I gave her food and we talked."   Madi shrugged.
                     Clarkes eyes widened. "She talked?" Clarke walked closer Charlotte. Charlotte was still still sitting down. "Madi out, now." Clarke pointed to the door.
"But I was helping!" Madi yelped.
"I don't want to hear it, go to your room now!" Clarkes voice deepened.
Madi was furious. "I'm going to die alone because of you!" She screamed and slammed the door on her way out. Clarke took a deep breath pushing her tears down. Bellamy walked closer to her, holding her hand.
"Listen," Clarke walked infront of Charlotte. "I need your help. Where did you come from? Are there more of you?" Charlotte didn't move and barley blinked. "Please!" Clarke started crying. "Anything?" Bellamy walked to Clarke putting his arm on her back. Charlotte stayed sitting silently.
Raven was helping Octavia with a cut in her hand at the lab. "You can talk about it you know." Octavia said to Raven. Octavia was sitting on the table. Raven had Octavia hand in hers as she observed it.
"I have." Raven replied. "You can't be the one to talk, Octavia. You left us and came back crazy because of something you won't go in to detail about."
"I'm being called crazy by someone who was just willing to kill a kid!" Octavia pulled her hand back.
Raven sighed. "Well than none of us are perfect. Now let me see your hand I need to stitch it before it becomes infected." There was moments of silence as Raven ran the string through Octavia's hand.
Octavia let out a deep breath. "When I figured out I was pregnant, Lincoln was so happy. We used to sit in the meadow, I told him there. He picked me up and spun me around." Octavia smiled with her eyes filling with tears. "We set up the nursery. Helios was a year when she started getting sick. I did everything to help her. I stole vaccines when she was two, She died when she was three." Octavia sniffled. "I blamed the vaccines for it, I wanted to kill my brother and Murphy. Lincoln thought I was loosing my mind. He tried locking me in a room, but when I escaped he tackled me. I had no choice, but to.." Octavia started to sob.
                        Raven hugged Octavia. "Shh it's ok." Octavia hugged Raven back. Two broken souls were starting to feel alive.
                        Madi stayed in her room watching out the window. She had an idea. She packed a bag with random things including a lot of food, some clothes and paper/ink.
                      She snuck down to the cells. Bellamy and Clarke weren't there. "Charlotte." Madi whispered entering the room. Charlotte stood up waking closer to Madi. "Here, I brought you warm clothes." Madi gave Charlotte her backpack.  "Hurry, we don't have much time."
Madi lead Charlotte out the tower. When it came to them being outside Madi didn't know what to do. "What way do we go from here?" Charlotte asked. They were just outside of Polis. Madi shrugged. "Do we want to go to where my people landed?"
Madi smiled. "You have people! Where?" Madi exclaimed.
Charlotte laughed. "We came from space, I'll try to follow the trail your guards took me from." Charlotte began walking. The two explained each others life to one an other. Charlotte had lived on a different space station the ark must have not known about. Madi told her about how she never went outside.
"My only friends were Raven, Heda, and some servants." Madi kicked a stick.
Charlotte pouted. "Why do you still call your mother Heda?" Madi was shocked, she didn't know what to say. "I understand you grew up calling her that, but..." Madis face grew sad. "It's ok because now I'm your friend." Charlotte grabbed Madis hand. Madi smiled.
                     Clarke was in her room, drawing. It calmed her down. She was drawing Bellamy. She never tried to draw him when he left. She had never said his name ether. Clarke didn't know how to handle her emotions when Bellamy was away, but when he was with her everything made sense.
                     Bellamy walked in and hugged Clarke from behind. She looked up and smiled. Bellamy pulled a stool to the side of her. "Crazy to think about all of us when we first came to earth." He said looking out the window.
                      "Tell me about it." Clarke took a deep breath.
                       "Remember when you snuck me onto the ark station, and I got caught and you made a dramatic speech to save me." Bellamy laughed. Clarke pushed his shoulder. "Gosh you were in love with me since the beginning!"
                       "Says the one who waited over night for me to wake up when we first came to Polis." Clarke smirked back. The two laughed. "I've missed you." Clarke stared into Bellamys eyes. Bellamy put his hands into Clarkes.
                        "I've missed you too." He whispered. Clarke smiled. Than, before she realized it Bellamys and her lips were interlocked. Clarke was a safe of darkness, but it was like Bellamy had the key to unlock light. He did.
                       Suddenly a loud thud was heard off into the valley. Clarke and Bellamy jumped to the window. There was an amount of smoke coming up. "Time to talk to Charlotte again." Clarke rolled her eyes.
                        Bellamy and Clarke walked to Charlottes cell. Once they arrived, it was empty. Both of them were in shock. Without saying a word, the two ran up to madis room. Empty. "Oh my god." Clarke managed to say. What happened to her daughter?
