I rushed over to the group of people huddled close to the gate. I pushed my way through the crowd to get to the center. There was a girl, she looked around thirteen or so. But she was not one of us. "Who the hell is she?" I asked as I walked over to Bellamy.
"I was wondering the same thing." He replied. "Everyone get back to work, Carly and I will figure this out and fill you in on everything." They all cleared out and we took the girl behind the house.
"Alright talk." I said after an awkward pause.
"My name is Katrina, i'm one of the people who live on this planet. My people took you from Earth because our planets population is dying. A virus infected all of the people here and most of them died, the ones who survived it could no longer repopulate. We decided to abduct you and bring you back here so that you could help us live."
"Okay wait this is way to confusing. So your saying that, what, we're not on Earth? We're on whatever planet this is and you want us to hook up to repopulate your planet, even though you killed most of us and lets not forget that you abducted us?" Bellamy asked.
"Essentially?" She replied hesitantly. "But there was a malfunction in the launch which cause you to be thrown out of your spacecraft and into our forrest and not where we originally planned you to be so that we could fill you in."
"Why not tell us? Why attack us and pose as a threat? Why come here to tell us when mr. mylipsaresealed upstairs din't say anything?" This was confusing.
"I don't know why we didn't tell you, father didn't tell us. And we weren't the ones who attacted you. The viruse affected some of us more than others. It made people crazy and violent, so we left them to live in the forrest where they couldn't hurt us. I only came here because I was attacked by my own people and almost killed, and then found out that I would die if I went back. I'm here to supply any information you need to survive, I don't think this is fair to your people." I'm not sure if I completely believe her.
"And how are we supposed to believe you, or even trust you." Bellamy asks. " You could be lying and just be here to kill more of us."
"Let me prove it to you." Katrina says. We nod reluctently in agreement and then she pulls out her knife. Bellamy raises his gun and pushes me back.
"No wait!" She calls out. "Look." She puts the knife to her wrist and cuts from her elbow to her hand, within second it heals and her skin looks untouched.
"I don't believe it." I say quietly. I look over to Bellamy but he is just staring at her with complete disbelief.
"I can tell you everything I know."
"If i'm not satisfied by the end, your not staying. You hear me?" Bellamy practically yells. She nods. "Talk."
"My father is pretty much the president as you would say, my mother died from the virus as did over three quarters of our population. After we kicked out the sick part of our population we had an even less population the rest of us thought that if we could take you from your planet and bring you here, to ours, well that you would help us." She explained. "We never anticipated that this would happen, any of this."
"Well, can we go back? I mean you said that they took us from our planet so cant you take us back?" Bellamy says, I can see how desperate he is.
"It's not that easy. we would need to go back to my people and beg for them to take you. And even if we all made it back there, whose to say that they would do it."
"We have to try!" He yells.
"Bellamy!" I take him about five feet away from Katrina so I can talk to Bellamy. "She is trying!"
"Well it's not good enough!" I can tell by his eyes that he's in pain. "We have to do this, Carly."
I shake my head. "It's to big of a risk. We can't take everyone to there wthought anyone getting hurt." He's angry now. "Bellamy, we can't do this."
"Your right... we can't but i can."
"No Bellamy, you can't. It's too dangerous!" I plead.
"Well you can't stop me!"
"Bellamy, please don't leave."
"Carly. If I don't, what happens to us. I need to go home, we all do."
"What if they don't listen" He looks to the ground for a while before finally understanding.
"I won't go." He pulls me into a hug.
"Promise me?" I ask.
"I promise."
