Beatrice's POV
'So this is Wells! I thought he looked familiar!' I told myself, knowing I could trust this guy. Everyone I've met (though that is not very many) has told me that while they didn't like Wells, he wasn't his father. Wells' father was a "selfish jackass who doesn't care about anyone but himself." At least, that's what Jasper used to tell me.
"Now, you gonna come out?" Wells asked me. I knew I could trust him, yet I didn't fully. He's new and a man at that. After 5 minutes, I gave him my answer.
Hesitantly, I gave him a nod of my head and was helped off of the tall seat. Wells instructed me to climb down a metal ladder and as to not keep him waiting, I did as told. As soon as we were both firmly on the bottom floor, I turned and was suddenly blinded by a flash of light coming from a large opening. I turned back to Wells who gave me a nod of approval as if to say, 'It's okay', and slowly walked towards it, not knowing what I would find on the other side. When I exited the weird ship thingy, I was blinded by true beauty. All around me were tall brown circular things Monty called trees topped with pointing leaves. Although, I thought they looked more like poofy green hair for the trees. I did I full turn to get the whole picture. All along the ground was dark brown dirt scattered with flowers of all the colours you could ever imagine (Blue, pink, purple, etc). I saw gray rocks and even small moving things on the ground-I think I'd heard Monty they were ants once-I bent down to get a better look at them when I was knocked on my side.
"Oof!" I grunted as the air was knocked out of my lungs. "Oops! I'm so sorry, sweetie! Are you all right?" A sweet voice asked me. I pulled my face up from the dirt, spit up a little bit before looking up at my 'attacker'. It was a girl-maybe 17-with long blonde hair that looked almost white in the sun. She was kissed by slightly tan skin and light brown eyes the color of the hazelnuts Mommy gave me on one of our picnics. She looked extremely kind but she was definitely strange, that's for sure. I am not nearly as afraid of women as I am of men because they've never given me a reason to, but anyone remotely knew gives me a scare. The only men I really ever trusted were Monty and Jasper, but they're gone now.
"Are you all right?" The girl asked me making me jump and breaking me from the mind.. "I'm Harper," She introduced herself to me and I nodded before glancing around and telling her quietly, "Beatrice."
The g- I mean, Harper smiled widely and helped me up off the ground because I'm sure I looked like a weirdo, just laying on the dirty forest floor. "That's such an adorable name! It certainly suits you, you're so cute!" She squealed making me blush. No ones really ever given me a compliment.
"Hey, Kiddo," I heard Wells' voice and turned around, seeing him looking right at me, "Come over here." He waved me over and I nodded. I turned, smiling and waving at Harper before quickly scurrying back over to where Wells was stood with the blonde girl Finn was looking at earlier.
"While I was up there looking around, I found this little one screaming in her sleep. Woke her up but she was terrified of me getting closer to her I think she's fine now though." Wells told the girl, occasionally looking back at me.
The girl looked at me sympathetically but quickly turned back to Wells.
"Well, all that matters right now is getting to Mount Weather. See? Look. This is us. This is where we need to get to if we wanna survive." She said drawing on a large piece of paper with coulourful lines all over it. 'Ooh, I wanna colour too! I was just about to reach for the crayon the girl was holding when someone came over.
"Oh cool, a map. They got a bar in this town, I'll buy you a beer?"
I knew that voice. I definitely knew that voice. Slowly, I turned around to see my honorary big brother. "Jasper," I whispered out, but I don't think he noticed me yet.
"Back up," Wells ordered, pushing him back to his friend that looked also familiar. I knew him. I knew him too! "Monty," I whispered again, keeping my distance in case they were still mad about me lying before.
"Hey, back off. He's with us." A pale, dark-haired boy called walking over to us with his crew in tow.
"Relax. We're just trying to figure out where we are." Wells tried to reason with him.
"We're on the ground, that not good enough with you?" a man I recognized as Bellamy, a guard back up on the Ark said, coming up with a girl much younger that looked a bit like him.
"We need to find Mount Weather. You heard my father's message. That has to be our first priority." Wells said, walking toward them slightly.
"Screw your father," The girl with Bellamy started up, "What? You think your in charge, you and your little princess." she finished with a glare towards the Blonde girl.
"Do you think we care who's in charge?" The blonde girl countered and continued speaking again, "We need to get to Mount Weather. Not because the chancellor said so, but because the longer we wait, the harder it'll be. How long do you think will last without those supplies."
'God, I'm more mature than all of those doofuses combined', I told myself shaking my head and walking away. I sat down on a rock far away from the others for a while. I don't how long it was until I heard that voice. That one voice.
"Bizzie?"
☾Hahaha! I decided to give you guys 2 chapters in one day. Hope you enjoyed the third chapter. The fourth will hopefully be up shortly after so be prepared. I think this is much better than before and I've done more research on the names and history of the Ark and after they land on Earth so it should be much more finished and informative. ☽
