Clarke was in her cell drawing the ground with a sliver of charcoal. She heard the door buzz, then open. "Prisoner 319, stand up." Two male guards walked in closing in on Clarke.
"No, I don't turn eighteen for another month." Clarke trembled stepping backwards. The guard grabbed her wrist and put a wristband on her. "What is this? What are you doing?" She shouted at them. They took her arms behind her back and walked out her cell.
As they reached the hallway, there were gunshots. Clarke looked the way of the sound. A small group of guards were on the floor. A man standing with a gun behind them. Her guards let go of her, holding out their guns pointing to the man. He then shot both guards in the shins.
Clarke and the strange man made direct eye contact. He was wearing a guard uniform, he was tan , dark haired and had freckles across his face. She turned and ran. She heard running behind her. She reached a line of delinquents. They were all getting in a drop ship.
She entered it. She sat down and buckled. She closed her eyes. This is it. I'm going to die without saying goodbye to anyone. She thought taking deep breaths.
"Hey." A familiar voice said next to her. She opened her eyes and looked beside her. It was Wells, her only friend, who also got her father killed.
"What the hell are you doing here? What are we even doing?" Clarke was disgusted. The dropship door closed for the outside. Than, they launched. It was very bumpy, but also very short. They thudded down on a surface. Everyone waited until they knew they stopped moving.
Everyone unbuckled. Clarke shoved her way towards the door, where someone was about to pull a lever. "Stop the air could be toxic!" She warned.
The person turned around. It was the boy she saw in the guards uniform. She gasped. "If the airs toxic we are dead anyway." He carelessly said.
"You...you..." She stuttered to say before someone interrupted her.
"Bellamy?" A girls voice came across the dropship. A push through the crowd moved Clarkes body forward. A brown hair girl hugged him. Clarke observed. "I can't believe it." The girl whispered.
The two were comforted by eachother. People started to whisper. "That's Octavia Blake, the girl who hid under the floor." Clarke turned to see the voice, but there were to many of them.
Bellamy reached for the lever leading the door open. A nice breeze came into the dropship. All the teens ran out into the open forest. Clarke stepped slowly out. She looked around.
"Earth." Wells walked next to her. "Can you believe it?" He smiled. Clarke looked at him confused and angry. "I came down here to protect you." Wells swayed.
Clarke shook her head. "I don't need you." She turned back into the dropship looking for supplies. She found a map. She went back outside in the sunlight to observe the light. Her face grew scared.
"What's that?" Bellamy called walking towards her. Clarke flinched. She cringed up. "My bad, didn't mean to scare you princess." Bellamy smiled. He was attractive.
"Well, you scared me when you killed those guards on the ark." Clarke said shyly looking down. Bellamys eyes widened. He grabbed her forearm and pulled her aside.
"Do not say nothing bout that!" Bellamy whispered loudly. Clarke stayed quiet looking at the ground. "Ya hear me?" Bellamy shook her. Clarke looked up and nodded. He looked scared and nervous, not at all threatening.
Clarke held out the map. "We were suppose to land here." Clarke pointed to a mountain figure. "On a mountain, but" Clarke waved her hand around, "This isn't a mountain." Bellamy looked at the map than at her.
"Have an idea how we can get to so called mountain?" Bellamy asked. Clarke sighed and shrugged.
"Guessing this is the forest, which I think is where we are at." Clarke ran her finger to a forest landscape on the map.
"We should go look for it and find food too." Bellamy handed the map back to Clarke. She nodded. Clarke saw Wells being beat up behind Bellamy. Her eyes widened. Bellamy noticed Clarkes expression and turned around. Bellamy ran to the two, "Murphy get off him!" Bellamy tried picked up the boy who was punching Wells.
Murphy backed off. Wells got up wiping blood off his mouth. "Baby Chancellor." Murphy teased. Than, another boy jumped from the top of the dropship in-front of Murphy. Murphy backed up scared by the movement.
"Please, can you even spell Chancellor?" The boy laughed in Murphy's face then turned to Wells giving him a cloth to wipe the blood. Octavia approached the crowd as everyone began to disperse.
               "Hey spacewalker." Octavia shouted. "Rescue my next." She bit her lip. Spacewalker. Clarke realized it was Finn Collins, the guy who wasted 3 months of oxygen on an illegal spacewalk. Bellamy came and pulled Octavia to the side.
              Clarke walked to the crowd picking up her pack. "Going somewhere?" Wells asked. Clarke rolled her eyes.
               "We need to go look for supplies." Clarke suggested. Octavia smiled.
              "I wanna come!" She jumped. Bellamy let out a loud sigh. Finn turned around grabbing two boys besides him. Jasper and Monty.
           "We're in." Finn smiled patting them on the back. Clarke smirked back.
             Wells was about to say something before Clarke interrupted him. "Your staying her." Wells looked disgusted.
             "We need someone to watch the camp." Bellamy said to Wells. Wells nodded. Clarke just didn't want him to come.
            "We should go in duos, cover more ground, find more supplies." Monty suggested. Jasper high-fived him.
             "Me and Finn will be partners." Octavia grabbed Finns arm and smiled. Bellamy rolled his eyes.
              Clarkes stomach dropped. She turned to Bellamy. "Me and the princess." He said picking up a pack. I'm going to be alone with a murderer.
