From the Ashes

The one problem with these
friendships?
They didn't
last."'

Walking into camp, Bear disregarded joining the group that had circled around Bellamy and Clarke as if they were two gods blessing them.
Instead, she made it into the solitude of the dropship, were she sat on the ladder, watching as Monty tinkered away at a bracelet in hopes of getting in contact with the ark.

Soon enough, Jasper and Octavia made their way I to the shadow space, followed by Clarke and Finn. Bear put on a stoic facial expression, trying to cover up how she was breaking in sad.

She practically left the boy she promised to keep safe - to die.

"Will we be able to talk to them?" She heard Clarke ask Monty, as she walked in to the dropship.

"No. More like Morse code," Monty replied.

He looked towards Jasper, who Bear has come to stand next to, eager to interlink their hands - only to be regarded with a shrug, as he placed his in Octavias.

Moving forward, Jasper plucked the wire from Monty's hand, with a placid smile on his face. Everyone could tell that he was ready to help out those still up in the ark.

Monty pointed towards a spot built of wire rapped around a metal structure,"The port right there."

As the wire was punctured into the bracelet, the thing that happened next made Bear want to join Murphy out there in the woods.
Electricity sparked, as the sound of bracelets loosing their power was heard all throughout the camp. She watched, with tears burning down her skin, as her bracelet crumbled to the ground.

"What happened?" Harvey gasped, rubbing the spot where her bracelet just was.

She reached up, and to her dismay, her mouthpiece didn't come off like the bracelets.

"It... didn't work," Monty sighed in defeat,"I think we fried all the wristbands."

Bear turned around and made her way up the ladder, her anger and sadness just bubbled up inside her. She was too wrapped up in her emotions to see the face of regret wash over Montys face, as he read Bears actions of anger towards him for being so foolish.

Before she could reach for the safety of the top of the ladder, she jumped down and ripped past the curtain of the doorway of the dropship.
She felt the medal interior was to much of an echoed spaced to go cry in.

As she breathed in the coolness of the forest, she felt the long grass slide over her skin as she placed herself in the middle of an opening near camp.
Looking up, she looked for the brightest star in the sky, and when she found it, she screamed as loud as she could - praying her sister could hear her.

"You alright?" After hours of throwing a fit, Bear had finally heard the voice of another person enter the space, though - turning around, she saw it was the last person she wanted to see.

"Now that you're here, no," she growled, as she laid down and went back to stargazing at the one place that was her prison - and her sanction, the galaxy.
