Everything's Changed

"Come on!" Raven and Octavia shouted.

It was the first round, third fight, of their wrestling competition and Clarke and Harper were wrestling. Lexa had wrestled Emori and won and Lincoln had won against Jasper.

Harper had her arm around Clarke's neck and Clarke had rammed into Harper's stomach, making her fall back onto the floor. Harper was pinned by she used her arm around Clarke's neck to pin Clarke to the ground.

"Oh come on!" Raven shouted.

Harper turned to Raven as she pinned Clarke and stuck her tongue out, leaving and opening for Clarke. She grabbed Harper's arm and put her other arm around Harper's neck, pinning Harper to the ground with a hard force.

"Uncle!" Harper yelped. "Uncle!"

"Clarke wins fight three." Wells shouted. Wells wasn't competing so he was the ref.

Round one ended and the winners were: Lexa, Lincoln, Clarke, Raven, Bellamy, and Murphy. Lexa had gone against Lincoln, winning that round and Bellamy and Murphy wrestled, Murphy winning. It was now Clarke and Raven's fight.

Clarke and Raven circled each other and Raven kept trying to attempt to ram into Clarke and she did. Raven rammed into Clarke's stomach but leaving her arms free. Clarke wrapped her right arm around her neck and her other arm, fighting Raven to let her free. Raven's force was strong, flipping Clarke above her and onto the ground.

"Knock, knock!" An older voice sounded from the door.

Everyone turned to see who it was. Clarke's mother and Marcus has entered the cabin. Raven let Clarke go and got up.

"What's going on in here?" Abby asked.

"Wrestling." Raven grinned. "Just beat Clarke."

"Just ignore my back, I guess." Clarke shouted from the floor.

"You'll be fine." Abby chuckled. "I see you've made quite a bit of friends. And here I thought you'd be lonely."

"Really feeling the love here." Clarke groaned.

"Anyways, I'm Abby, Clarke's mother, and this is Marcus Kane, my boyfriend." Abby said. "I don't believe I've met most of you."

"Bellamy Blake, older brother of Octavia."

"Murphy, pleasure to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too." Abby grinned. "I like this one more than you, Clarke."

Clarke rolled her eyes and everyone laughed at her. "I'm kidding." Abby chuckled.

"I'm Emori, those two fools over there are Echo and Harper." Emori pointes to the girls.

"Fools, hm." Abby said, glancing at the girls. "I can tell."

"Oh, and Clarke." Abby said.

"What?" Clarke groaned.

"I'm staying in the cabin across from here."

"You've got to be fucking kidding me." Clarke muttered.

"Language." Raven said to Clarke, grinning widely.

"Last I recalled, you swear more than I do." Clarke stuck her tongue out. "Hypocrite."

"Can we clear the room?" Abby asked. "Everyone but Clarke."

Everyone walked back down the basement to watch a movie or play games. "Clarke, you haven't formally met Marcus."

Clarke narrowed her eyes, examining him. Her mother hadn't done much dating since her father had passed and Clarke was very skeptical of this man. Her mother had gone on a few dates but never brought them to meet Clarke. Clarke had no idea how to react. She should be happy for her mom, but she needed to talk to him. Get to know him, make sure he's good.

Marcus just smiled, trying to break the awkward silence. Clarke lightened her facial expression up, which meant something. "Clarke Griffin." She said, holding her hand out and Marcus took it.

"Marcus Kane." He said in a warm tone. "Pleasure to meet you. Abby talks about you a lot."

Clarke retracted her arm. "You have any kids?"

"A son, yes." Marcus smiled at the thought, "He's ten, almost eleven."

"Marcus, could you give us a moment?" Abby asked and he nodded. "I'll be out in a second."

Marcus walked out of the cabin, leaving Abby and Clarke. "I don't like em." Clarke said. "But he has a child and seemed to light up at the thought so I'll let him be."

"He's a lot nicer than you think."

"I'll have to evaluate that then." Clarke chuckled. "What does he do?"

"He's a senator, used to work under the Supreme Court." Said Abby.

"Well now I know he doesn't break laws." Clarke sighed.

"I've got to go." Abby smiled sadly. "I'll see you later. Love you."

"Love you too." Clarke smiled softly as Abby exited the cabin.

Clarke made her way into the basement, to come to them playing foosball or watching FRIENDS. "Hey!" Lincoln shouted. "Look who made it to the after party."

"I won." Lexa grinned.

"Won what?" Clarke asked.

"The wrestling competition!" Everyone shouted at Clarke.

"Geez, tough crowd." Clarke groaned and entered her room.
