Checking out on the prison bus

This is it, the apocalypse - whoa

On her second day on Earth, after spending her first one knocked out, Clarke quickly figured out two things.

The first thing was that radiation apparently wouldn't kill her, which in itself was a shocking revelation considering she was taught that Earth wouldn't be habitable for quite some more time. It almost made her scoff, considering the reason why the Ark was in trouble was the supposed believe that Earth wasn't livable.

Now, the second thing that Clarke figured out while on Earth was that while radiation might not kill her, other people could.

Yes, people. It should be impossible for her, or even others, to still be alive on Earth according to the classes she took on the Ark. Apparently, the classes she took about Earth was a total lie. Story of her life basically.

"Who are you people?" Clarke tried asking for what felt like the millionth time.

Her two captors ignored her, causing her to inhale in annoyance. She didn't push for an answer though, because not only did they bound her with ropes but they were also armed with swords and bows.

She didn't want to know where they were going to take her.

But she had to get a feel from them, or at least from her surroundings before she could enact an escape.

"I don't know if I prefer prison or Earth, honestly," Clarke forced herself to keep speaking, pretending to be nervous and nonchalant even as she intently observed her captors.

They ignored her.

"My people are practically dying in the Ark and I'm down here walking to my death for all I know."

There. One of them twitched.

They understood her.

They just acted like they didn't.

Clarke hid a victorious smile as she continued rambling and projecting the image of a naive idiot. She even threw in some false information here and there, knowing that they would probably tell their leader about whatever she talks about.

She pretended to tire.

Once she was sure the two noticed her fatigue, she tripped on a piece of rock and stumbled into the smaller one. She felt him tense against her.
