Across The Stars

3. He's Alive

Bellamy - Planet Earth

All that surrounded me seemed familiar, but I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was. I stood, confused as the green mist receded away from me - the last thing I remember was I was blown back into the anomaly with a 'disciple'. Scanning my surroundings, I looked for him, but he was nowhere to be seen. He was gone. I was alone.
Quickly, I proceeded towards the nearest door as I opened it rapidly, hoping my unanswered questions would be answered, in which they were. 'Polis'.
My heart sank, as I realised I was in the bunker. Knowing the radiation could still be enough to kill me, I started to turn around, as I saw a bright light that caused me to stop. My curiosity got the better of me, as I proceeded to the bunker exit, I knew that if Earth was still simmering I'd be dead by now.
Endless emotions ran through me, as I reached the ground. Vines wrapped effortlessly around the Polis tower's remains, bright colours illuminated into the atmosphere. 'Earth is back to life' I said to myself, as, as much as the view was breathtaking, I knew I had to get back to Clarke.
Excited by the revelation that we could go back to our home, I ran back to the anomaly stone.
'How had nobody ever found the stone?' I thought to myself. 'Six years and nobody ever checked this room?'. Confusion mixed with anxiety caused me to look at the symbols on the stone. The room was full with notebooks, as I searched, hoping that one would have the symbol's I needed.
Searching for answers, I opened the first notebook, and there it was, nine different sets of symbols and the name Beca at the bottom. 'Beca Pramheda?'
'Beca made the anomaly stone?' I asked to myself - before I could ask myself anymore needless questions, I looked at the 9 possible combinations, hoping that they would lead me back to my friends; to my family.
I knew that the wrong combination could take me to a possibly lethal planet, killing me instantly. I couldn't die, not without saying goodbye to Octavia. Not without saying goodbye to Echo, and not without saying goodbye to Clarke.
I held my breath, as I began to press the symbols of the first combination, in almost an instance the anomaly began to appear in front of my eyes.
Something in my mind began to pull me back, as I thought of the peace I could be at, on Earth on my own. There was a way that my family could make it back to me, I could be with them eventually. I wanted to stay. Then I wouldn't be in danger. One of the biggest ultimatums I had ever had to face, was on my hands. I had to make a choice. I had hope that Octavia, Echo and Clarke, and all of my family would come and find me.
'Bellamy... it's been 77 days since Praimfaia, I don't know why I do this everyday; knowing that you probably can't hear me or that you can't respond.'
Suddenly, the whole solar system fell silent, in the moment, it was just myself and Clarke's voice, as I walked towards the green mist. I needed to get back to her.
Smothering me, the mist wrapped around me, as my head began to feel heavy.
'Bellamy, it's been 97 days since Praimfaia. I miss you. I miss your smile. Your voice. I guess my biggest fear is I'll end up forgetting what you look like. Or you'll have forgotten about me. Well, if you can hear this, I just want you to know, that I love you, and I hope I get to see you again one day. You, my mom, and Madi are all I have left. Please make it back safely. I miss you so much'.
As her voice began to fade away, I smiled, as I saw her face vividly in my mind. Before I could think anymore into the situation, the anomaly's mist unfolded, as I collapsed to the ground. Confused, I checked my surroundings. It was so cold. I was numb. I knew there was something to remember, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. The last thing that I saw was Octavia, as I was blown into the anomaly with another 'disciple'. 'Where is he?' I muttered to myself, as my teeth chattered together. Panicked, I looked around me to see an endless wasteland of ice and snow. Where-ever I was, I was on the wrong planet, and if I didn't find a way out, I'd freeze to death, before even getting a chance to say goodbye.
In the near distance, I saw a body laying on the floor, they were dead. Refusing to accept the fact that, that may soon be my fate, I strived on.
Minutes that seemed like hours passed, as I noticed a standing figure in the distance, as I moved on closer, the identity seemed to become more clear. 'Gaia?' I shouted, as quickly she turned around, seeming half confused at my appearance.
