The sky above us {book: 2}

1. Earth

Clarke
My heartbeat quickened as i unbuckled my belt, my legs shakily rose from the seat. People huddled towards the ladder, pushing themselves down.

I tore my eyes over the sea of people searching for anyone i knew, Wells, Octavia... anyone. My eyes landed on a chocolate skinned man, his dark black eyes met mine.

"Wells!" I screamed as i ran towards him. I jumped into his arms, holding onto him like he was going to disappear.

"Clarke, there is something i need to tell before we all die on this planet." His deep voice sounded so familiar yet different. It was just like I remembered it.

"Yes?" I whispered as I gently pulled away.

"Im sorry about your father..." He said. Hearing him talk about my dad sent a wave of pain through me.

"Please dont talk about my dad." I pulled away from him. He was hesitant to let go but he did.

"I need to find Octavia." I said to him as i walked over to the hatch, pushing past the remaining crowd of people.

"Clarke, wait!" He shouted trying to get to me but it was no use, i was already climbing down. My feet hit the floor with a thud, the walls shaking with impact.

The bottom floor was even more crowded than the top, not to my surprise. I pushed people out of the way so i was now at the front. Some idiot was standing at the door, ready to pull the leaver.

"Back it up guys!" He commanded but no one listened. In my defense, there was no where to go.

"Stop, the air could be toxic." I shouted at him.

"If the air is toxic we're all dead anyway." He scowled. I felt like punching him in the face but a voice I recognized interrupted.

"Bellamy?" Her voice broke. I turned around and my heart felt a wave of relief as I noticed it was Octavia. Thank god she is ok.

She pushed her way over to the man and stood in front of him. This time he turned around and then my blood froze. It was Bellamy but why was he here? He would die in front of me and I couldn't let that happen.

I was about to bud in but then i thought about it, Octavia hadn't seen her brother in forever and it would be a waste for him to die without seeing his sister one last time.

"My god, look how big you are." He smiled as she jumped into his arms.

"What the hell are you wearing?" Octavia questioned. It was only then that I realized he was wearing a guards uniform.

"A guards uniform?" She half-yelled at him. He gave his famous smirk and my heart fluttered a bit.

"I borrowed it, to get on the dropship."He smoothly lied. Thats how he got on, I thought.

"Someones got to keep an eye on you." When he said those words, i felt my shoulders get heavy. Of course he came for his sister, it would be silly of me to even think he remembered me. At least he had moved on.

"Where is your wristband?" Some boy spoke from the crowd.

"Do you mind, i haven't seen my brother in a year." She glared back.

"A brother?" Some other boy spoke. Soon enough the whole sea of people where murmuring.

"No one has a brother." Another said.

"Thats Octavia Blake, the girl they found hidden under the floor!" A women yelled from the back. My mind was hurting with all the yelling surrounding me.

Octavia lunged forward but Bellamy caught her just before she ripped the woman's face to shreds.

"Octavia, Octavia no!" He gritted his teeth together. She calmed down a little and looked back up to Bellamy.

"Lets give them something else to remember you by." He smirked.

"Yeah like what?" She scowled.

"Being the first person on the ground in one hundred years." Her eyes lit up and she just watched as Bellamy went over to the leaver and yanked it down.

Light flooded the cabin as gasps ignited through the space. My lips parted in shock, it was just how I imagined it. Trees stood tall, green moss placed among the trunk. The sky was a breathtaking blue and the clouds were like balls of fluff. The grass was glistening as it swayed to the wind.

The sun sent rays of light upon Octavias face as she walked down the ramp. She came to a stop at the edge, taking in a deep breath of fresh air. She jumped down and a smiled came up on her face. The dirt and leaves crunched at every step she took.

"We're back bitches!" She screamed and everyone ran out, tangling themselves in the trees.

I dropped down into the dirt, taking in all the beauty around me. I wish my dad was here to see this, he would've loved it.

Bellamy
The air was refreshing, it was definitely something compared to the hazy air back on the Ark. The beauty of earth was nothing more than I expected, it was amazing.

After seeing my sister there was only one other person i needed to see. Clarke.
