❝ THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR LIVES OTHER THAN YOUR OWN, ISN'T IT? YOU DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO. ❞
CLARKE DIDN'T COME back to the drop ship that night, but then again, Nova didn't really expect her too. She was out with Finn, doing God knows what. She honestly didn't want to know. It was still late that night, and Nova still had yet to get any sleep. All she wanted to do was just fall into bed, and sleep for days, but she couldn't. Not when she heard all the commotion outside.
Nova walked out of the drop ship, seeing everyone looking up towards the sky. Nova looked up, just in time to see a pod fall the sky and unlaunch its parachute. Nova's mouth fall open in awe as she watched something so beautiful. It had to the Ark, right? They were the only ones up there.
"Please tell me they brought down some shampoo." One of Bellamy's flings said, which caused Nova to bite her tongue to prevent herself from starting an unnecessary fight. That was her biggest worry? Shampoo? When Grounders stood in the woods, possibly watching them right now.

"Alright, it's probably near the lake." One of the delinquents in Bellamy's tent said. Nova followed in after Octavia, who had come to see what her brothers ideas were, and, of course, Nova had to tag along.
"We should get moving right away." Octavia said, knowing how far a walk the lake was from the camp.
"No. No one is going anywhere. Not while it's dark. It isn't safe. We'll head out at first light. Spread the word." Bellamy told his followers next to him, who immediately filed out of the tent.
"Everyone for a hundred miles saw this thing come down. What if the Grounders get to it first?" Octavia asked.
"She's right, Bellamy." Nova said. "We should send a group tonight."
"I said, we wait until sun rise. Now get out. Both of you." Bellamy ordered, which caused Octavia to let out an annoyed scoff, pissed that her brother had made this call.
"Fine, but if the Grounders get to the person in that pod before we do, that's on you." Octavia spat, turning and walking out of the tent.
Nova waited until she was gone to speak up. "I said 'both of you,' Nova."
"You're leaving tonight, aren't you?" Nova asked, completely disregarding his earlier comment. "You want to get to that pod first, right?"
"Nova, no. I'm not-"
"Do not lie to me, Bellamy. Are you going to the pod?"
