Not One of Us

Chapter One

"So, what did you get locked up for?" Octavia asks as she sits with Lauren and Clarke.

"Something my dad did." Clarke said. She looked down at her hands.

Frowning, Octavia then looks toward Lauren. "And you?"

"I threatened a guard because he killed my parents." Lauren shrugged like it was nothing.

"Oh wow, and I thought being hidden beneath a floor board was rough." the blue-green eyed girl says.

"Life sucked on the ark, what can I say?" Lauren muttered.

Dinah appears beside them out of nowhere. "Preach sista, swear I was gonna get floated today."

Lauren shrugged. "It's only the truth. They killed my parents for no reason."

"I got arrested for an explosion that happened by accident." Dinah responds, sitting down beside Lauren. "I put the wrong thing in my science experiment and BAM!"

"They floated my father." Clarke said quietly.

Octavia shifts uncomfortably, she felt like they were being watched. Looking around them, all she sees is the drop ship, the rest of the 100, and trees.

"Hopefully, life down here will be better." Dinah said.

"Hopefully, but we need to get the supplies from Mount Weather first." Clarke says in response.

Dinah nodded. "We should head out when it gets light in the morning."

Shifting once more, Octavia glances toward the trees. "I think we're being watched." She mumbles.

"Watched?" Clarke asked, looking in the same direction as Octavia.

"Yeah, I keep feeling eyes on me and it's weird." The younger girl responds, running a hand through her hair. "I think I'm going to check it out."

"No. Don't leave." Clarke said. "It's not safe out there."

Octavia frowns and stands up. "I'm just going to walk the perimeter."

"Not alone you're not." Clarke said, standing up too.

"I'll be fine, Bellamy taught me how to protect myself when we were growing up." Octavia says before quickly sneaking off, she wanted to find out why she continuously felt like she was being watched.

Clarke rolled her eyes and followed the girl.

They both began searching the perimeter on different sides of the drop ship. Octavia was beginning to feel uneasy as she walked, feeling as if she was being followed.

Turning, she saw a figure dash behind a large tree and decided against better judgement to follow.

Clarke came into her view and then disappeared in the opposite direction. "Octavia, where did you go?"

Octavia continued to follow the shadowy figure further into the woods, stopping when she realizes she's lost. "Great, just great." She huffed.

The sound of a stick breaking behind her causes her to flinch and turn around, her heart began reaching as she saw a brown eyed girl with black markings on her face.

"Who- who are you?" Octavia stuttered.

The brown eyed girl doesn't respond, watching Octavia quietly.

Octavia's heart raced faster in her chest, she swallowed the lump that was forming in her throat.

Stepping forward the brown eyed girl tilts her head to the side and holds her hand out.
