"We need to find her first," I said and looked worriedly at Madi and O.

"Hey, we want to help too. We join your team." I said and I'm not going to arguing about it.

"How can we know that right after we find her and we will, you won't run away?" That guy who was standing behind John said.

"Good point," O said. At that moment I looked at her and she knew exactly what I am thinking about.

"Bell, no, no. Don't you, even think about that," she was almost yelling at me. With her finger pointed at me, it was more dramatic.

"What the hell are you arguing about?" John asked, confused with the rest of his crew. And we just ignored it.

"Better for you is to stay out of this," Madi said not interested in what is happening. She sounded like it happens all the time. 

"Why Madi can't stay here?" O started to arguing and tried to find some compromise.

"I'm not staying, here. She's my only family. She was with me for the last 6 years. When I was alone she took me in. Even after I prepared a bear trap and she stepped in it, she helped me. " by that Madi won over Octavia.

"She stepped into a bear trap? Who did heal her?" John asked impressed and surprised.

"Herself. With no painkillers," Madi responded. It surprised me too. I know that she must have done it herself, but it must've been really painful.

"Respect," one of the guys said.

"Okay, you won. I'll stay." O said defeated.

"What do you mean by stay?" John asked.

"O is staying here, like a leverage that we won't run," I said to John, but O doesn't look that happy about it.

"Alright, I can agree with that. Chris, can you take care of her?" John more ordered than asked to Chris, who came closer right after he heard his name.

"I don't need it. I can protect myself," Octavia said disgustedly. Cause she's right she doesn't need protection. She would kill all of them before they'd blink. If she'd have her weapons, but she'd find her way.

"Believe me you do. Everyone in this camp might want to kill you. Prisoner ship, remember," John said really good point.

This is still Eligius, the prisoner ship. There are lots of killers here. I wouldn't leave her here alone, but she is strong enough to take all of them down.

"I think that they need bigger protection than her," Madi laughed at it and after that even I and Octavia. I saw her laugh a long time ago.

"I don't think so," John said with no clue what we're talking about.

"Never mind. Can we take our weapons?" I asked.

"Yes, Mike'll get them for you." He said like a nice guy, but we know the truth. I just nodded and turned to O.

"Just be careful okay? Try not to kill someone." I smiled at that.

"In a short version, won't be blodreina," Madi said in a serious tone.

"No promises," O responded at that.

I just nodded and hugged her. After that, I looked at Madi. She was ready for everything and I could tell that just from her eyes.

"Here you got your weapons and some supplies," that Mike handed them to us.

"Thanks," I said though it was told him to bring them.

It was a while since we began our journey. We are between a few guys. Two are in front of us and the other three are behind us. It looks like they're our guards. While we're walking, I and Madi are talking about everything, but in English. We assumed that it's safe to talk, but we have to be careful about what are we talking about.

"Oh gross," Madi said to my story I was telling her about the seaweeds.

"Yeah, it really was. Fortunately, I don't have to eat it anymore," I laughed at that thought when we ate them at the space. Before Madi could say anything else, I asked her.

"Madi, can I asked you, how did you meet Clarke?" I've been thinking about it since Madi mentioned it.

"It's been two months since praimfaya when Clarke came into the Eden." Madi stopped. It must have been really hard for her. Lost all of her people and think that she's the last person on Earth.

"I didn't know if I can trust her. So I prepared a trap at the woods and she stepped in it. I ran away, or she thought it. Actually, I was watching her if she's a treat for me. When she healed herself, she passed out, I took her weapons and ran away," she was looking in front of her, she didn't even look at me.

"We met again after five days, I think. It was by the water. She drew a picture of me instead of hurting me what I did to her. And by that, she earned my trust." She ended it, she missed some details, but I can imagine it.

"That's quite a story," the man behind us whispered to the other one next to him. They thought that we can't hear them, but it's the exact opposite. But we let them think that.

At that moment it started to rain. But it's not just a rain, it's a black rain. Every single drop, which fell on my skin hurts. 

"What is it?" Madi asked. She isn't worried like it hasn't any effect on her.

"It's black rain. You don't feel like it burns?" I said a little bit with pain. 

"No I don't feel anything," Madi answered with no clue what I mean.

"But we do. Let's go, not far from here is a cave, where we can hide." I think the boy named Alex said and we were following him as quick as possible. This Alex was really young, unlike the other guys. I'd guess he's seventeen maybe eighteen years old.


When we reached the cave I went first inside. What I saw was really ironic to me. There's Clarke with the bow pointed at me. When she recognized me, she lowered it down.

"Bell," She said relieved. I knew that the first time she'll see them she'll shoot them.

"Clarke. Calm down, okay?" I tried to prepare her for that situation.

The others came in and Clarke raised her bow up again. And I know, it's not good.



Hi there. I know, I know. Late again. I had a writer's block and I didn't know how to continue in the story. But here I am. I hope you aren't lost in the timeline, cause I wanted to do it from different angles. Thanks for reading by the way. I'll try to update sooner than this time.
