𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒪𝓃𝑒 - a Fanfiction of The 100

chapter eighteen

The next day or so I find no way to return to Lincoln and Tala. I hope by now Tala has told him of my plan, of the bringing of the two people groups together, and I hope he hasn't freaked out. I know now that finding my way back to the two of them may take time, lots of it, and I'm doing my best to work with the 100 on earth skills, knowing that this is where I need to be more than with my other friends. Bellamy is still suspicious, still watchful of me and what I know. We haven't spoken more than a few words to each other since my nightmare, and I've done what I can to blend in with the 100.

A new girl, Raven, has joined the fray, supposedly being the girlfriend of Finn. That's doubtful to me, considering the way he looks at Clarke and vice versa. It's not lost on me that they share something special, maybe more than Raven and Finn's long standing friendship and relationship. Despite the cool way Clarke and Raven have been towards each other, it isn't hard for me to become friends with Raven and continue my friendship with Clarke, as long as they're kept separate.

It's becoming apparent to me that all the animosity between the people in camp is getting in the way of the real issues. I'm hoping I'll be able to help.

Tonight I'm on patrol, Bellamy finally agreed to let me go although I assume it's a test, and I'm with a girl named Harper and this guy, I think his name is Dave. We're scouting not far from camp, hopefully finding something big enough to hunt and bring back to the group. I'm on alert, knowing what I know about Trikru and the other clans. If any of us are found, we're doomed. Tala and Lincoln won't be able to save me or anyone else from Trikru, no matter how much they care about me.

"I think Bellamy found some deer around this part of the woods." Harper says, looking around at the trees. "If we're careful and quiet, we may be able to hunt something. Although it is a little dark." She says, nodding towards the sun, fading in the distance.

The guy nods, (I'm calling him Dave, no matter what his real name is) and mutters an agreement as I turn, glancing around on alert. I swear, that Dave kid can barely say two words at a time.

"Cal." I hear my name and pivot, facing Harper.

"Yes?"

"Bellamy mentioned you were a good hunter." She says. Of course he would. He's trying to set me up to fail.

"Yeah, actually, I am." I nod.

"Cool. I was thinking Dave and I could continue on the patrol and you could hang around here, maybe find something big to hunt, or even just scouting for animals, is that okay?" Harper asks and I respond in the affirmative.

"Sure." So his name is Dave.

"If we see something, I'll send Dave back to get you, otherwise, do you want to meet back at camp in, say, an hour?"

"Works for me." I respond. Harper smiles, handing me her gun and the pair of them turn, walking away.

I know full well Bellamy just wants me to show up empty handed, but I don't let it bother me. I'll show him and everyone else that I'm just as helpful as the next person, if not more so. I hoist the gun onto my shoulder, headed towards the closest body of water, to the west. Stealthily, I start towards it, careful to avoid breaking branches or crunching on leaves. If there's any animals in this forest that Trikru hasn't gotten to yet, they'll be by a body of water.

Before I go far, someone pulls me back, throwing their hand over my mouth so I can't scream. I struggle, finding it easy to overtake them. Elbowing their gut, I turn around, the gun dropping from my shoulder and pointing towards my attacker in a second.
