"You're sending people to Earth?" I asked quickly, my adopted father sighed, "Abby, no. Not people. The prisoners." I didn't hear him though, my thoughts traveled to the stories I'd heard, about soft green bark, and smooth flowing water. And the sky, nobody could ever describe the sky to me. An idea popped into my head, and it ewas a bad one. But then again, aren't the best ones?
"I want to go." I dsaid resolutely. My father looked up at me, his eyes scouered every inch of my face, studying it, looking for any trace of a smile, or a joke, but there was none. "Amelia please, nobody actually has hope for these delinquents. The Earth is unsurvivable. You'll die." I shook my head, "Please, I want to see it. To feel it." I sighed, "I don't want to die up here." I pleaded desperately.
Marcus sighed, he was a Council Member, and that was a big deal up here. On the Ark. My real parents were both Councilors, as well as my brother. "Is this what you want? Not another whim? Like the piercing? Or the tattoo?" I nodded, "Josh and I always dreamed of going down. The trip to Earth was what he lived for. Please, let me go?" He huffed, but nodded. "I'll make sure you get on right with Clarke. So at least you'll have a friendly face." He said seriously.
I was shocked, I had expected him to argue, to threaten, to throw a fit, but instead he'd just agreed, calmly and quietly. I frowned deeply at him, but he just smiled back sadly, "Please Amy, for my sake, don't die." He paused, "If we can survive down there, promise you'll try your hardest to keep alive." I nodded shortly and he offered my a tight smile.

Nobody had a problem putting an extra person on the drop ship to Earth, and true to his word, I was sitting right next to Clarke. But the closeness to Wells made me uncomfortable. Every time he looked past her, and to me I cringed internally. Clarke smiled at me, providing a welcome distraction from my thoughts and memories involving Wells.
"Long time no see." I smiled back, "What are you doing here?" She asked softly, "I asked Kane to let me on the ship. I wanted to see Earth." She nodded. "Some fashion statement huh?" I asked holding my hand up so she could see my wristband. She laughed lightly, "Fashion trend of the year."
I had almost forgotten about Wells, or the fact that I was plumetting into a very uncertain future when Jaha appeared on the screen, addressing us all. I scoffed lightly, and turned away, my eyes were met with some idiot floating around the cabin. I laughed softly to myself as he floated over, smirking. "Hey princess." He said looking right at Clarke who glanced over at me. I bit my lip, holding in a laugh as he flirted shamelessly with her. "What about you princess?" He asked.
I frowned, "I thought she was princess." He shrugged, "There can be more than one princess," I rolled my eyes, turning mine and Clarke's attention to two idiots that were following him out of their seats. "Stay in your seats!" Clarke called at them. They just ignored her and went on playing. "Guys please, gravity is a bitch down here, you'll get-" I never finished my sentence, as they fell straight to the ground, and we all started shaking violently.
I shut my eyes tightly, and tiook deep breaths like Kane told me to, but I was shocked by the sudden thud. That was it, we were on Earth. Clarke nudged my shoulder, "Come on." She said and we both hurried to the two unconscious boys. "This one's dead." Clarke said softly, "So's this one." I stood up, stretching my legs, "We'll bury them later," she said. "Are you excited?" She shrugged, "I don't know. But let's go."
When I got down to the first level, shortly after Clarke, I realized she was staring at two people at the front, as was everyone else. "What's going on?" I asked stupidly, "That's Bellamy and Octavia Blake. The second set of siblings." I nodded, "She's the one they hid in the floor." Wells nodded, "And they floated her mother." I rolled my eyes, "I don't recall speaking to you Wells."
As the doors hissed open, and Octavia's feet hit the ground, she looked up at the sky and laughed, "We're back bitches!" She screamed and I laughed, sharing a hug with my best friend, Clarke and ran out with the others. I touched the necklace around around my neck and whispered softly, "We're here." The air filled my lungs, in a way I had never felt on the Ark. For the first time, my lungs felt filled, like I wasn't choking on something. The fdirt was soft, and crumbled in my hands. Everything was new, everything was an adventure.
I noticed Clarke over by a ridge, so I headed over, "What's up?" I called to her, she turned, and pointed to a mountain across the valley before us. "That's Mount Weather. We're on the wrong damn mountain." She said and I gaped, "They fucked up the one thing they had to do right?" She laughed, but nodded, "That's right. We need to get moving." She tried to walk over, but I stopped her. "Wait, we should be careful how we handle this, they seem a little rough. Plus I think he's running things now." I said pointing at the guy in the guard's uniform.
"You go get supplies, I'll get them to see sense." I nodded and headed into the drop ship, I grabbed some rations, lights, and water. When I headed back out, I noticed Wells in a fight with someone. "Get them to see sense huh?" I asked Clarke once I pushed through the crowd. She huffed, "Don't say it." I just shrugged, "I mean it's not like I told you so or anything." She rolled her eyes and shook her head as Finn jumped between Wells and the other kid.
As much as I hated Wells, on some level he was still my friend, he was the one who was there for me when my whole world caved in, and then he betrayed me. I could always put a put a strong front, but I would never actually want anything bad to happen to Wells, and Clarke new that. "I guess we're on our own." She said dragging me away. "Hey you. Princess." Clarke and I both turned, "No. You." He said pointing right at me, "I'm Murphy." He said, getting closer. "Why don't you stick around?" I shrugged. "I hate worms."
I saw his eyes widened as Clarke and I went to help Wells. He looked up at me, causing me to look away. Clarke looked back at me. "I think he needs to put as little pressure on that ankle as possible. So no twenty mile trek for him." Clarke nodded, and we both went to get up, but Wells grabbed my wrist, and Clarke had started a conversation with Finn. Too busy to notice my plight.
"Hey. I'm sorry. I seem to be ndoing all the wrong things. But I swear, I never meant to hurt you." He pleaded quietly with me. "It was a mistake, come on Luna, you have to forgive me." I brought my face down so I was staring into his eyes, "I can never forgive you, because your father blamed me, and you never came clean. You lied, and got me in trouble so you could save your own ass and my brother paid the price." I ripped my wrist from him, "You're a coward Wells, a coward and a liar."
I walked off to where the rest of the group was waiting, and Octavia groaned, "Both of them are coming?" I just ignored her, my usual good humour gone. "Did Wells just call you Luna?" Clarke asked. My eyes dartef over to him and I nodded, "Why?" She asked. I shrugged, "Who knows? Who cares?" I stated simply. "Amy please!" He yelled drawing attention to us. I groaned audibly, "Let's go."
