Chapter 4: Murphy's law

Rowan was learning very quickly that this things on earth were more dangerous than she could ever have imagined as the whole camp was coming to terms with Wells suddenly death from an apparent grounder attack that happened outside of their wall while he was digging a grave for Atom. His death ad caused a state of panic in the camp as the threat of the grounders suddenly felt more real than it did before as the rest of the camp continued to build their wall as a line of defence against the grounders, Clarke was the one person who was taking Wells's death the hardest especially considering his confession about lying to her protect her from hating her mom. Rowan had currently escaped the camp by finding a semi private tree out of the perimeter as she sat for a minute admire the beautiful scenery around them as she wondered how such a lovely place could be filled with such horrors like they were facing right now as she began to write and draw in the journal that Finn had given her earlier that morning as she began to document everything that had happened lately. Soon she was pulled out her thoughts when Bellamy began to call on her as he began to panic when he couldn't find her in camp

" Rowan? Ro!" Bellamy said as he began to unknowingly getting closer to her as he began to head out of the camp to look for her as he tried not to think about finding her body in the woods

" I'm over here!" Rowan said knowing that he would just keep panicking and yelling as she tried not to think too much about what was going on between her and Bellamy right now

" what are you doing? You shouldn't be out here alone, I mean what if I was a Grounder?" Bellamy said finding her writing in her journal as he realised how peaceful and calm she was

" then I'll stab them with my pencil" she said clearly not talking the whole thing seriously as she rolled up her sleeves as she began to feel like a little grimy and dirty from everything

" I'm serious, they got Wells just outside the wall so clearly they are waiting to pick us off one by one." Bellamy said wishing that she would take her own safety as serious as she took others

" I doubt that's what they are doing, I've been hear for about an hour or so and I've haven't seen signs of Grounders... but I get your point" she said knowing he was trying to look out for her

" what are you doing anyway?" He said sitting next to her knowing that she needed this time to herself as he couldn't help but just stay with her and be with her despite everything else

" I'm writing down from the last few days like the herbs I've found, the seaweed, Jasper being taken, everything. It helps me having everything written down" she said showing him the book

" is this something you did on the ark?" He said still wondering how he had seemed to have missed her up there before she was arrested as he loved how the light hit her dark hair

" yeah it was, I used to write everything down or draw it. My dad actually gave me my first journal when I was nine and then gave me a new one every time I finished one" she said fondly

" where do you get this one?" He said looking at it to see that it while it was aged that it wasn't damaged or used like he would have expected from her as he sat down next to her by the tree

" Finn actually gave it to me, he found it in this stash of thing from before while he was exploring last night. It just makes me feel better doing this" she said breathing easier than before

" what is the deal between you two?" He said thinking about how different they were since she had been able to have a life that he had only dreamed about since Octavia had complicated his

" there's no deal, he's just my best friend. It's not like we're dating or anything if that's what you're thinking" Rowan said with a knowing smile as she wondered why he was asking
