Skaikrasha (The 100 - Octavia Blake)

Just another day on the ground

I made a bow by myself. It's not a masterpiece, but it's a bow. I'm now trying to make arrows. I've been looking for the right rocks and I've gotten them eventually.

Bellamy told me they're going hunting. I'm coming along, but I'm not bringing the bow yet. Just a couple of knifes.

I've been making new knives too. I gave a knife to Lola, so she could protect herself and I'm keeping the others.

So, me, Bellamy, Atom and a few other guys are hunting. We spot a pig, I'm about to kill it when Bellamy says: "It's mine."

I sigh, but let him have this one. Then something moves behind us. Bellamy immedietly throws an axe in the direction of the noise.

Turns out it was a little girl. I think her name was Charlotte. Lola talked about another younger girl named Charlotte.

The axe scared the pig away and the others run after it. Me and Atom stay with Bellamy, who walks up to the girl. "Who the hell are you?"

"Charlotte, right?" I ask. She nods.

"I almost killed you." Bellamy says. "Why aren't you back at camp?"

"Well that guy who is dying, I just- I couldn't listen anymore." She replies.

Atom turns her down. "There's grounders out here. It's too dangerous for a little girl."

"I'm not little." She tells him.

"Okay, then." I say. Both boys look at me like I'm crazy. "But you can't hunt without a weapon." I give her a knife.

I usually wouldn't approve of 12 year old girls going hunting in a forest that's filled with grounders, but she's gonna have to learn to defend herself anyway. That reminds me that I should learn Lola some self defence too.

"Ever killed something before?" Bellamy asks her. She shakes her head 'no'.

"Well who knows? Maybe you're good at it." Bellamy says.

A bit further, we spot a deer. I'm about to kill it, when we see a yellow fog coming at us. "What the hell is that?" Bellamy asks.

I have a feeling it's nothing good. "Run!" I shout.

"Come on, there are caves this way!" Bellamy shouts while we run. I grab Charlotte's hand and follow him.

We run into a cave, but then we hear Atom shout: "Bellamy! Bellamy!"

Bellamy thinks about going back, but burns his arm being in the fog. So instead we go deaper into the cave, until the fog can't get to us.

But now I'm wondering what this means for Lola. Did the yellow fog get to her too? Did she get hurt by it? Is she still alive? I want to check on her, but I can't. I'm stuck here in this cave.

I wake up from Charlotte's screaming. "No!"

I open my eyes to see Bellamy trying to wake her up. "Charlotte, wake up." She does so. Very scared.

When she realises where she is again, she relax's and apologizes. "I'm sorry."

"Does that happen often?" I ask her.

She sighs, I'm taking that as a yes. "What are you scared of?" Bellamy asks. She doesn't reply.

Bellamy continues: "You know what? It doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is what you do about it."

"But I'm asleep." She points out.

"Fears are fears. Slay your demons when you're awake, they won't be there to get to you when you sleep."
