Astrid was starting to regret every decision she has made in her life. The biggest regret being that she was stupid enough to break Marcus Kane's nose. She was starting to miss the Ark, the comfort of her bed, her real bed. All Earth has given her was pain and this particular day was no different.

A startled gasp was the first thing that came out of Astrid's mouth. She was in a cave, a pretty huge cave. There was a wall full of weapons that scared the shit out of her, a couple of candles that allowed shadows to form on the mossy walls.

Then all the pain came back at once. The injury she received the first day on Earth hurt like hell. The scratches and bruises from falling down the hill were as annoying as they could be. And her torso, where a huge piece of wood was stuck hurt like a fucking bitch.

Astrid groggily opened her eyes wider, remembering that Octavia was with her too. She would rather get hurt then let anything happen to her. She craned her neck to the right, even if it hurt, and caught sight of Octavia shouting inaudible things at the grounder who was advancing towards her with a heated knife.

Astrid tried sitting up, her arms shaking with every move but in the end a small scream escaped her when she moved her torso the wrong way. She looked down at it, almost puking when she saw the mood being coated by blood.

''Astrid!'' Octavia shouted then looked towards the grounder with pleading eyes ''Please help her! She'll die!''

The grounder stared at Octavia for a few seconds then started walking towards the struggling Astrid.

Astrid started backing away from the grounder as much as she could despite Octavia's protests. The heated knife reminded her of the pain she felt on the first day on Earth and she didn't want to relive it.

The grounder ignored her protest and crouched down next to her. He ripped a part of her shirt so he could see her wound better. It even made him want to cringe in disgust. It was a deep wound, and it was definitely going to be painful. He looked Astrid in the eye, trying to assure her that everything will be okay, and in a way Astrid calmed down.

That was until he pulled the wood out of her torso without a warning. And ear piercing scream escaped Astrid's mouth, causing Octavia to cover her ears. The pain was unbearable and Astrid just wished she could pass out at this point. But of course, it wasn't over. Not even a minute later the grounder pressed a heated knife to the wound, making Astrid scream her heart out as tears were running down her cheeks. She wouldn't be surprised if the screams could be heard in camp.

Astrid took gulps of air when the pain stopped. Her throat was dry and hoarse from all the screaming and she was so tired. As if the grounder could hear her thoughts, he brought her a cup full of what Astrid could guess was water. She hesitated a couple seconds but eventually she took the cup and downed it in one huge gulp.

Before she could even look at her other wounds, the grounder was wrapping them in some kind of material, making Astrid curious.

Why was he helping them? He should have killed them but he didn't. He helped her without even knowing her.

Astrid turned her head towards Octavia with one questions as to why he was helping them running in her eyes. Octavia shrugged but then averted her eyes to the grounder that was advancing on her with a heated knife.

That's when Astrid noticed Octavia's wound. She had hurt her leg pretty hard, blood oozing out of it.

Not a minute later, Octavia's screams were filling the deafening silence making Astrid cover her own ears.

The screams stopped making Astrid lean her head on the stone wall. She knew she shouldn't sleep. She knew she should at least try to find a way out of this place. But she was just so tired.

-

A younger Astrid was walking through the halls of the Ark, a pocket knife hidden in her leather jacket.

Today was going to be the day. She will take her revenge and she would be happy.

A smirk made it's way on her face when she saw her victim, the person that ruined her life. Before she could advance on him and drag him in a closet where she could kill him, Marcus Kane appeared in front of her, his cold eyes fixated on her.

He stopped a few steps in front of her, his eyes full of disgust.

''Astrid,'' his voice full of disgust ''haven't seen you in a while. What have you been up to?''

Astrid shrugged her shoulders, a lazy smile making its way on her face ''The usual''. Her smile widened when she saw annoyance flicker in Kane's eyes. She just loved infuriating him.

Kane had a sly smirk on his face ''Not murdering people, is it? Wouldn't want you to end up like your dad''

Astrid clenched her jaw but forced a smile on her face ''I'm afraid my father died before he could teach me his ways.''

Kane's eye twitched, aggravated with Astrid's easygoing personality ''Of course. Just checking, wouldn't want you to murder someone. I still remember how your father's life got sucked right out of him. Wouldn't want you to end up like him''

Astrid was beyond mad and before she could calm down, she punched him. A loud crack was heard as Kane stumbled to the floor holding his bleeding nose. She shook her hand from the pain, a curse coming out of her mouth when she realized what she had done

Within seconds, guards flooded the hallways and restrained Astrid. She was arrested and she couldn't take her revenge anymore.

That was it.

-

Astrid woke up with a gasp, thinking she was still in her cell. But no, she was still in the cave. And Octavia and the grounder were nowhere to be found. Panicking, Astrid tried standing up but in the end only a small scream escaped her mouth, her wounds still being fresh.

Not long after, the grounder entered the cave with a shaking Octavia in his grasp. He put her down next to Astrid and chained her down.

Astrid looked at Octavia with a frown ''You were going to escape without me?''

Octavia blinked, almost remembering ''No! I would have come back for you Astrid''

''Well,'' Astrid sighed ''okay then''

Octavia sighed then looked towards the grounder, seeing he had is back to them. Quickly, she grabbed a rock and advanced toward the grounder, knocking him out cold.

Astrid gaped at her friend ''Damn right Tavia! You're a fucking badass'' she exclaimed bringing a grin to Octavia's face.

Their expressions quickly fell when they heard footsteps coming towards the cave. Astrid scrambled back near Octavia as curse words escaped her mouth.

The footsteps came to a halt as the people got sight of the two girls.

Relief flooded Astrid as a small pained smile made it's way on her face.

''Bellamy''
