Survivor

chapter seven

I felt a big smile spread across my face as Monty spoke, even a couple days I could handle! It was the best feeling in the world to know I could see my sister again, even if it would take a while or they wouldn't let me; I would find a way. With a intact radio, all I needed was a way to reach Raven!

"That's great!" Octavia said with a smaller smile than mine, but her words did express my joy.

It was then I remebered I agreed to spending today with Jasper and Monty. It was weird, Monty was here but no Jasper? I had spent some time with Monty already but if I was being honest, even though I didn't want to see Clarke..I was worried about the sick in the first floor, besides Monty probably needed some quiet and alone time to work on contacting the ark.

"I'm gonna go check on the sick." I told the two in which Octavia had realized he probably did need space to work.

"I'll come with you," Octavia said getting up as the two of us left down the hatch.

No sooner of getting down the ladder to the first floor did Octavia ask "so what got you so excited about contacting the ark?"

"Oh, my sister is up there" I replied still smiling from happiness. "What about you?" I asked in return.

"Nothing, but I don't agree with my brother, we do need the arks help to survive." She replied before turning away to leave "I'll see you later Liz" she told me before disappearing off the dropship. It was obvious she had plans, and I could tell it was with the boy..Atom. The two seemed like a cute couple.

I turned my attention away from her as I heard some light coughing. I turned to see the girl from before, the chamomile must've worked! The cough she had now was nothing compared to her horrible conditions before. But as I walked up to her, curious to meet her, I noticed there was half as many people as before. A lot of them must've died. She was the only kid my age and I'd like to make a friend anyway, I thought as I arrived infront of her.

"Feeling better?" I asked as I sat beside her.

"Yeah.." She replied quietly before noticing the wrap around my knee. "What happened to your knee?"

"Oh, one of the grounders got me while we were looking for chamomile." I replied, using the name we know had to describe the others on the ground.

"Must've been a good fight." She said with a grin.

I felt myself grin as I joked "I left him running in fear." Then I asked "hey what's your name anyway?"

"Charlotte" the girl replied with a smile "what's yours?"

"Just call me Lizzie," I told her, seeing as my name Elizabeth was far too long.

"Alright Lizzie, after recovering, maybe we can hang out?"

"Of course!" I replied with a excited smile.

About two days had already gone by, no radio. Which sucked on terms of reaching both the ark and Raven. Not to mention Octavia and I were working hard to hide that we were contacting the ark for Bellamy. But good news: my leg was pretty much recovered. It wasnt perfect but it was good enough for me to leave camp with others, today I was going out of camp after all the recovery days. I'd be going hunting with Bellamy, Atom, Charlotte and Miller.

It was really just a way to keep Bellamy occupied but it was also a chance leave camp for me. Not to mention I could get to know Charlotte more. Speaking of Charlotte, she recovered smothly after a few days, as did all the others with a bad cough. Sadly, Wells was not getting much better, but they were doing their best for him.

I was brought back into reality when Bellamy held out a knife to me "here, you'll need it to hunt with."

"Thanks" I replied with as I took it. He must've noticed my wristband missing as he lifted a eyebrow.

"You chucked it off kid?" He asked with a small grin.

"N- Yeah," I lied, only because we couldn't let him find out about us contacting the ark.

"Smart move." He complimented before he turned away announcing to the group we were leaving.

I dropped behind with Charlotte who had a knife gripped in her hand as well, probably from Bellamy, "you don't care about the ark then?" she asked.

"No, I do, but its a long story.." I replied quietly, not knowing if I should tell her. "So how'd you get in jail?" I asked to change the subject.

"Oh..umm I fought the guards that were floating my parents.." She replied quietly, I felt immediately bad as I hit a soft spot in this tough girl.

"I'm sorry.." I replied trying to comfort her. She went quiet, just giving me a nod in reply.

I was suprised to feel a tap on my shoulder, Miller got my attention before pointing to the boar ahead. Immediately we got in out formation, me and Charlotte creeping up from behind the boar incase it bolted our way. Bellamy across from us, infront of the boar, while Atom and Miller were on left and right.

I tightened the grip on my knife as Bellamy aimed his knife at the boar. Before he could throw it, a twig snapped, startling the boar and ruining out stealth. The boar took off towards Charlotte and I. It ran up to me as I jumped to tackle it, but ended up failing as the boar had snuck between my legs before I fell.

"Damn it!" Bellamy yelled in anger.

I sat up, rubbing the dirt off my face as I let out a sigh, "sorry.." I mumbled.

"No, wasn't your fault," Miller defended as Bellamy glared at Atom.

"You should've been more careful!" Bellamy yelled at Atom. Yea Bellamy was probably mad about loosing dinner, but he was angry about something else, probably something to do with Atom and Octavias relationship.

"It was a accident." Atom defended himself. Then to my horror, Bellamy sheathed his knife and lifted his fists, but before he could throw a fist, a horn sounded.

"What was that..?" I asked in curiosity and some fear.

Before anyone had a chance to answer, mysterious yellow fog approached, something about it told me it wasn't a good thing..

"Run! Go! Go!"

A/N: im going to be honest with you guys, with school just around the corner I'm only going to be able to upload once a week from now on. I may surprise you guys with two uploads a week sometimes but other than that I'm not going to be able to upload chapters too often. I'm sorry guys, but on the bright side: focusing on one chapter a week means its probably going to be a long one. Basically I can only promise a upload every tuesday but I'll try and upload more often if I can. Anyway, hope you enjoyed <3
