Chapter 9: unity day

Chapter 9: unity day

With the new development of the video communication to the Ark and with the news that everyone in the Ark would soon be coming down to earth to join the delinquents sine the Ark was quickly running out of oxygen and would soon die out if they didn't come down, it meant that the delinquents could celebrate unity day which celebrated the day that all twelve stations joined together in order to form the Ark that they knew today which usually meant for them to be forced to watch the unity day parade or be in it and listen to the chancellor's speech and this year seemed to be no different except for the fact that they were on earth. Rowan reluctant came out of the drop ship to listen to Jaha's speech as she thought of how she was now avoiding her father's calls in case he rejected her due to her confession about her being a second child as she knew that she probably couldn't handle that right now as she walked over to where Clarke and Finn standing by the door as she wondered what was going on there.

" For ninety-seven years, we have eked out an existence, hoping that someday our descendants would return to Earth" Jaha said as his voice played throughout the camp

" oh god, can't anyone shut him up?" Rowan said as she joined them and leaned against the door frame of the ship as Finn turned to face her wondering why she was so grumpy

" I thought I was the only one not in the unity day mood" Finn said knowing that something  was clearly going with her since she usually didn't mind unity day since she forced to join in

" Don't tell me you don't like Unity Day" Clarke said knowing that the story and message behind it was something that could inspire them all in a time of need like right now

" I don't hate it but I'm not really in the celebrating kind of mood if I'm honest, I'm a mocking and grouchy kind of mood" Rowan said knowing that she was feeling a little testy lately

" and anyway Unity Day is a lie, the Ark only came together after the thirteenth station was blown out of the sky. It's just not the version of history we like to tell each other at parties" Finn said causing Rowan to roll her eyes at him

" must you make this speech every unity day?"Rowan said knowing that Finn always objected to unity day with the same rant and views every year which usually made her laugh but not today

" how can you say that? The Unity Day story gives people hope though and peace came out of that violence" Clarke said knowing that this was probably about more than the Ark and unity day

" Yeah but did there need to be violence at all?" Finn said thinking about the fact that the camp now had guns to use against the Grounders if they attacked creating more violence

" Whoo! Yeah! Monty strikes again! Hey! Call this batch Unity Juice! Who's thirsty?" Jasper said coming out of his and Monty's tent carrying a new batch of his moonshine for the camp

"And that seems like my cue to hide away" Rowan said as she decided to hide over to the wall which was still very much in busy mode since they still had to be on high alert for grounders

" hey you okay? You seem lost in your own head there" Bellamy said calling to her from his place on the way as he helped her up to where he was as he wondered what was going on

" I guess I was... I'm worried about my dad" Bellamy said as he gestured for someone to cover his post as he sat down with Rowan in order to talk her since it was clear she needed to vent

" you've still not talked to him yet about the whole confession thing?" Bellamy said knowing that it had been a hard few days for her as she had a lot to deal with between that and him almost leaving camp

" nope, I'm kinda scared what he's going to say or do. I mean I'm pretty sure Jaha is going to come down here and make it the Ark 2.0" Rowan said thinking of the Ark's impossible rules
