Everyone began cheering and rushing off the drop ship, Rose dropping Bellamy's hand as he rushed towards his sister, all left but Rose and Clarke, Rose who held a map that she had been handed as she was strapped in and Clarke who was looking at her, even after years apart Rose could tell what Clarke was feeling, what she was thinking, seeing as she had in everything but blood been her older sister, at least until she started rebelling and straying away. "Let's go Griffin, I have the map." she called out to the blonde who nodded slowly.
She was thinking everything through, what they had been through, what her mother had told her, which Rose assumed correctly was the same thing she had told her, the two stepped off the drop ship in which they had nearly died and walked to a small edge, where Rose unrolled the map and handed one side to Clarke, for her to hold open, their eyes scanning the paper until they found the location that they were looking for, Mt. Weather, causing them to lift their heads simultaneously, before sharing a look.
A look of acknowledgement, "Why so serious, Princesses? It's not like we died in a fiery explosion." Spacewalker inquired, leading to Rose scoff a "Fuck off." and Clarke reply with "Try telling that to the two guys who tried to follow you out of their seats." "You don't like being called Princess, do you, Princesses?" Spacewalker inquired, "I'm a queen, get your facts straight." Rose snapped allowing the blonde to say "Do you see that peak over there?"
The Spacewalker peeked a look at the peak before returning to the brunette and blonde answering with a simple "Yeah." To which Clarke replied "Mount Weather. There's a radiation-soaked forest between us and our next meal." and Rose concluded "They dropped us on the wrong fucking mountain."
The trio quickly detached, Spacewalker going to do his own thing, Clarke to look for something and Rose went to find her favourite people in the group, Bellamy and Octavia. However she didn't find them, they found her and they let her know by Octavia tackling the brunette into a hug that could have broken all her bones, "Easy there tiger." the pale girl laughed, "It's damn good to see you Kane." Bellamy stated as he stared at the two girls.
"Back on last name basis Blake? Really?" she teased him as she detached herself from Octavia, "Never." he chuckled, wrapping his big arms around the pale girl who eagerly replied, their reunion was cut short due to commotion and Wells saying saying "We need to find out where we are."
"We're on the ground. That not good enough for you?" Bellamy replied, pulling away from the hug, "We need to find Mount Weather. You heard my father's message. That has to be our first priority." Wells countered making Rose roll her eyes at his obsessive nature, "Screw your father." Octavia snapped, making Rose grab her hand in a soothing manner while Wells looked at her like she'd grown three heads, "What, you think you're in charge here, you and your little Princess?" Octavia continued, "Do you think we care who's in charge?" Clarke stated, not wanting to start a riot, "They're right though, we need to get to Mount Weather not because the Chancellor said so, but because the longer we wait, the hungrier we'll get and the harder this'll be." Rose said, her tone low, showing her distaste in relation to be agreeing with the two.
"How long do you think we'll last without those supplies? We're looking at a twenty-mile trek, okay? So if we want to get there before dark, we need to leave now." Clarke continued, "I got a better idea. You two go, find it for us. Let the privileged do the hard work for a change." Bellamy told them, and even though Rose had been a privileged when she was younger she lost that status when she began to rebel, at his words all of the Delinquents, who had begun to crowd cheered.
"You're not listening. We all need to go." the chancellor's son insisted prompting John Murphy to reply with "Look at this, everybody... The Chancellor of Earth." Rose rolled her eyes at the child like behaviour and turned her head around, surveying her surroundings, completely ignoring the situation until she felt her best friend release her hand and call out " Hey, spacewalker, rescue me next." her words made laughter roar and the crowd disperse followed by Bellamy dragging Rose to Octavia while giving her a look, "What? He's cute." Octavia defended.
"He's a criminal." The eldest of the trio countered"We're all criminals except O." Rose snorted, earning a thankful smile from Octavia and an eye roll from Bellamy "Look, I came down here to protect you two." He told them, "We don't need protecting. I have been locked up one way or another all my life. I am done following orders. I need to have fun, Bell. I need to just do something crazy just because I can, and no one, including you, or you, is gonna stop me." Octavia stated, poking each of them on the chest. "I can't stay with them, O." Bellamy insisted.
"Now what are you talking about?" Rose inquired curiously while Octavia groaned, "I did something, okay, to get on the drop ship, something that they will kill me for when they come down. I can't say what it is just yet, but you two have to trust me. You do still trust me, don't you?" He answered and counter inquired, watching as both girl's opened their eyes wide while he explained, and nodded at his question.
"So Mount Weather. When do we leave?" The trio heard Spacewalker as the blonde girl, "Right now. We'll be back tomorrow with food." She replied, giving the apparently wounded boy a look, but he ignored it and replied with "How are the two of you gonna carry enough food for a hundred?" the Spacewalker turned around and grabbed the first two people within arms reach and pulled them into the conversation "Four of us. Can we go now?" he inquired.
"Sounds like a party. Make it six." Octavia in putted as she waltzed into the group, referring to her and Rose, "Hey, what the hell are you doing?" Bellamy replied, following his sister leaving Rose to shuffle behind, "Going for a walk." Octavia sassed back earning an exasperated look from Bellamy while the blonde turned to the Spacewalker and grabbed his wrist, inquiring "Hey, were you trying to take this off?"
"Yeah. So?" the brunet man answered, "So this wristband transmits your vital signs to The Ark. Take it off, and they'll think you're dead." Clarke snapped at him, "Should I care?" he countered, cocking a brow at the blonde, "Well, I don't know. Do you want the people you love to think you're dead? Do you want them to follow you down here in two months? Because they won't if they think we're dying." the blonde snapped again.
Rose being next to Bellamy and behind Octavia was able to see the look on Bellamy's eyes as he looked down at her wrist, the group slowly began to leave leaving the three girls behind, Octavia sending her brother a half pleading look which he clearly gave into because he gave her a nod before whispering "Go on." Octavia beamed and started to follow after the three boys who had already left, "I'll look after her." Rose instantly said as soon as Octavia was out of ear shot, "Please do, and be careful too." Bellamy replied placing a soft and tender kiss on her forehead before the brunette followed after the tannish brunette.
