The Secret Grounder

Chapter 6- The Spaceship

I lay on the floor of the cave breathing in the gentle fumes of the fire, Echo wriggled slightly next to me turning my attention to the sleeping brunette. Her lips were slightly parted and her chest moved up and down in a steady motion. I got up from my place on the floor and walked over to the small pool of water, I knelt down next to the pool and splashed water over my face. When making my way out of the cave a bright light flew across the tree tops at the other end of the forest, drawing my eyes in. A few seconds later an extremely loud bang came from where the light crashed, i heard a scream from inside the cave. I rushed back in to find Echo sitting up panting heavily.
"Hey, its alright." I soothed placing a hand on the brunettes shoulder, she leans forwards and places her head on my chest causing my arm to slip around her neck.
She sighs heavily, "what was the noise?"
"I dont know." I start, " I think its something to do with The Ark."
"Do you wanna check it out?" She asks  lifting her head back of my chest,
"Yeah sure." I say standing up and offering the girl infront of me a hand. She takes it and i lift her up of the floor. We walk over to the horses are, untie them, lead them out and mount them quickly. Echo kicks her horse into gear and i do the same, racing up so im at the same speed as the brunette.

We reach the site about an hour later, i unmount and tie up the horse, Echo copies my actions.
"Can you see anyone?" She whispers as she walks up behind me.
"No," I say, switching back to my normal voice," There's no one there."
Myself and Echo make our way down to the site, i walk out of the cover of trees and straight into the open. Echo grabs my arm and pulls me backwards placing a hand over my mouth. When she lets me go she places a finger to her lips in a 'shush' motion, and points over in the direction of the ship. I follow her finger and see three people standing around, one of them is hugging someone and the other person standing watching. I recognize the blonde as Clarke, and the boy as the guy who unlocked his seatbelt, i think Clarke called him Finn. But the other person i didnt recognize until she pulled away from the guy.

"Raven." I whisper emotion evident in my voice. Echo looks at me in confusion,
"No," I start, "she, she, i have to see her." My voice cracks on the last sentence.
"Kyara, you can't." Echo says turning me around to face her,
"You wanna bet?" I say pulling away from Echo and reaching into my saddlebag to grab my water bottle, i pour some water onto my face and rub viciously until all the paint is gone. I then take my hair out of my ponytail and smooth it down my back, covering the white dye.
"Kyara! Listen," Echo starts grabbing my arm,
I pull away, "You can't stop me from seeing my best friend, im not your prisoner anymore." I spit starting at a run down the hill, by the time i reach the bottom im panting heavily. Almost as if i just run from the Ice Nation. Clarke hears my footsteps and turns around,
"Oh my god! Kyara!" She shouts, running over towards me, "Are you okay?"
I manage to nod my head quickly before locking eyes with Raven, she runs up to me and engulfs me in a hug,
"Clarke thought you were dead." Raven sobs into my shoulder,
"Well, im not." I laugh pulling away from the girl.
"Yeah i can see that." She laughs through sobs, i take Raven's hand in mine and feel Finn's eyes on the back of my head. Clarke walks up to me and takes me in her arms,
"You have no idea how much this is going to mean to Bellamy." She says into the hug, i pull away quickly.
"Bellamy?" I ask, she nods.
"He may be a dick, but he cares about you, he hasn't been the same since."
"Really?" I ask, Clarke laughs and nods again,
"Really."

The four of us walked back up the hill slowly, we passed where i assumed Echo was hiding and almost felt sorry for her. Its clear to say that the king wont be happy. It took us about half a day to make it back to the dropship, and honestly walking back through those gates made me feel something. Like i was finally home. People begin to crowd around us, chatting to myself and Raven. Through the crowd i see Bellamy but because of the dense crowd he hasnt seen me, he wanders over to where Clarke and Finn are standing on the outside of the circle. I see Clarke point in mine and Raven's direction. The brunette pushes his way through the already dissapating crowd and stops maybe ten feet infront of me.
"Hey." I laugh, Bellamy's jaw visibly drops. I walk up to the boy and wrap my arms around his neck, stunning him slightly. But a few seconds later i feel him wrap his arms tightly around my back, " Just remember," I whisper into his ear, " your still a dick."
The boy laughs before releasing me from his grasp,
"I wouldn't have it any other way." He says quietly, so only i can hear him. Bellamy walks past me and wraps his arms around Raven, again i can see Finn staring daggers at the boy. Clarke smirks at me from the other side of the gate and then walks off into the drop ship, most, if not all of the crowd had gone by now so with no more bodies pushing into me i make my way back into the tent that used to be mine. I was fairly pleased to see that no one had moved anything.
"Bellamy wouldnt let anyone in here." A voice comes from the doorway, i turn around and see Octavia.

"So, do you want to explain yourself? Or should i say something to Clarke?"

Oooooo! Cliff hanger! Im sorry for the massive plot twist(s) but i mean can you blame me? By bringing in more characters i have a larger field of play for later on *hint hint* so really you should be thanking me. Anyway, comment who you think Kyara should be endgame with (not that im going to do it cuz im mean and already have and ending planned *muwahh* ) but do you think i will be Echo,Bellamy, Raven, Clarke?, Finn?, or a comepletly new character we are yet to meet. Keep reading!
