want is to chase
Beautiful dreams with
You'"

Rock music was humming through the radios, as everyone seemed to be laughing and chattering amongst the bunk beds. Bear felt the bunk rock, as Monty and Jasper were in a vicious fight with pillows and feathers.

Looking to her side, Bear took notice of Tangerines tense posture, as she prowled the door and cameras around the room like a deadly panther.

Suddenly, the door opened as a younger brunette came inside and dropped off one of their members. Jasper left Monty to talk to the random mountain dweller.

Leaning over the side, Bears dreadlocks fell like a curtain infront of Months face.

"Moo!" Bear smiled,"who's the chick?"

Monty spared a quick glance at the girl, who seemed to be smiling at whatever lame comment or joke that Jasper must've made.

"That's... Maya, some girl Jaspers gotten attached to, shes kinda scared of Clarke," Monty snickered.

Quirking here eyebrows, Bears mouth slightly agaped,"Mountain Princess is scared of sky princess?"

"Mhm," he nodded, as Bear slapped him on the cheek in her own endearing way.

"Thanks!" Flipping her head back up, Bear groaned at the slight dizziness that flushed through her system, feeling as if the world was spinning against her.

From the corner of her eye, Bear took notice of the small reference Jasper made to her, as Maya seemed to hide behind his small frame.

She smirk a devilish smile, before winking in the girls direction.

If she thought Clarke was scary, well, guess she's never met a protective momma Bear before.

Suddenly, a high pitched, wavering noise cursed throughout the rocky forms of the wall of their dorm, as Maya seemed to try and make a quick get away.

That was, until Clarke stopped her in her path.

Sliding off of the bunk bed, Bear patted down her black skirt, before leaning against the railing of her and Monty's bunk bed. She grinned at the wide arch Maya took around her.

"Don't be scared, I don't bite," Bear smiled,"yet."

Maya spared the girl a nervous laugh, before turning to Clarke, who stopped in between her and her exit. Toying with the sleeves of her black, denim material jacket, Bear tied back the dreads that kept getting in her face.

"Hey, what's going on?" Clarke questioned.

"That signal means that surface patrol is back, and someone needs medical attention. I- I have to go to quarantine," Maya assured, stumbling over her words.

Watching the brunette stumble out the door, Bear turned to Clarke,"the others."

Clarke gestured for Bear to follow her out the door, but before they could step out into the hallway, Jasper clasped Bears arm.
