INDIGO WAS SAT at a nearby lake, that was only a little more than a tenth of a mile away. Indigo had her feet in the cold, icy, water— that almost made her joints ache it was so cold.

She had just sat through a camp meeting that was full of rules— and she wanted to scream every time Bellamy glanced at her. Not that it made her feel weird, but because she knew he was just worried for her— which slightly grossed her out, and made her want to shut his thoughts up.

The moon reflected onto the dark lake— the stars laughing at her for even wanting to cry over anything. Indigo then lifted her eyes from the lake that glistened, kicking her feet in the dark abyss— her eyes full of the night sky.

Indigo then felt a snap— and winced at the sudden pain in her wrist. Indigo's eyes quickly darted down to the metal that coated her wrist, as it flung open by itself. Indigo saw the power in it fade out— like how Octavia's did.

Wells floods her thoughts— and Indigo finally lets out a sob at the sight, of her promise broken. Indigo slowly collected the metal, and stared down at it, fumbling with it in her hands.

"I'm sorry." Indigo croaked out at the metal— as if it knew what she was saying. Indigo then sobbed again, flinging the wristband into the dark void that made a perfect 'bloop' noise once it fell into the liquid.

Indigo slowly brought her shaky hands to her
face— letting out a sob as death flooded her thoughts. Charlotte was a child, even Indigo was— sure, she was eighteen, but newly, and she didn't even have a true childhood.

Indigo then slowly retracted her feet from the void below, bringing them up, onto the stone she was sat on. Her feet froze in the early morning air— as she looked up and saw a large shooting star.

Indigo stared at it for a moment, before slowly pulling her socks and shoes on— lacing them up. Indigo then heard burning and looked up at a shooting star that flew above her— and saw that it wasn't a shooting star, it was a ship— and it was growing closer to the ground.

The ship continued to fall into the atmosphere, causing Indigo to quickly collect herself and begin to rush back to camp, her heart racing once again.

Indigo kept glancing up at the small pod that made its way to the crust of the Earth. Indigo hoped it was something useful— maybe supplies?

Cold air burned her lungs as she ran through the dark forest— her heart aching, and body almost collapsing at her body running. Indigo approached camp, and snuck into the side of the wall— so no one would know she was gone.

When Indigo saw a group of people already looking up at the ship— she assumed they had already seen the ship. Indigo tried to push through the crowd and saw Octavia, quickly moving next to the familiar girl.

Octavia barely even glanced at her— her eyes locked onto the ship that fell onto the Earth. Indigo then looked up at the large ship, not bothering to glance at anyone else.

"Please tell me they brought down some shampoo." a girl said, who was wrapped in a blanket. Indigo's eyes trailed to the girl and saw a shirtless Bellamy beside her.

─. ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─

Octavia and Indigo rushed into Bellamy's 'work'
tent— as he called it. Bellamy was stood with his arms crossed off his chest, shirt, and jacket on— with a few other boys, who were explaining where the pod would be.

"We should get moving. Everyone's ready." Octavia said as Indigo pulled her puffer jacket on. Bellamy didn't glance at the two girls when responding.

"No one's going anywhere." Bellamy said sternly, "Not while it's dark. It isn't safe. We'll head out at first light. Pass the word." Bellamy told the boys who were in the tent— to which they nodded and left the tent.

"Wait, no." Indigo shook her head, stepping closer to Bellamy, "Everyone for a hundred miles saw this thing come down. What if the grounders get to it first?" Indigo asked, and Bellamy was slightly surprised that she was even speaking— due to the night's events.

"Bell, we should go now," Octavia added, her tone trying to convince her brother, who just gave her a stern glance, and gave Indigo a scolding one.

"I said we wait until sunrise." Bellamy spat out at the two— suddenly defensive, leaving the tent. Indigo and Octavia looked at one another in unison, confused at the sudden hostility.

Indigo and Octavia left the tent, but Bellamy had already darted off— probably into his tent Indigo assumed. Octavia sighed, frustrated with Bellamy.

"It's fine. He's just being a dick." Indigo tried to joke with angry Octavia. Octavia let out a small breathy laugh, that could barley be heard.

"Since when is he not?" Octavia asked Indigo, turning her head to look at the older girl. Indigo shrugged and let out a small laugh.

Indigo gave the girl a reassuring look, and Octavia just gave her a weak smile— before nodding at Indigo and leaving.

Octavia darted off, obviously knowing exactly where she was headed. Indigo opened her mouth to say something, but Octavia was already far off— Indigo could barely even see her anymore.

Indigo stood alone in the middle of the— now awake, camp. Indigo sighed, looking around at everyone who was converting— and messing around. She felt alone— left out.

Clarke and Finn were walking toward the girl, and Indigo smiled at them— finally not being alone anymore. But the two had serious looks on their faces as they approached the dark-haired girl.

"Where's Bellamy?" Clarke asked Indigo quickly, causing Indigo to furrow her eyebrows at the
blonde— since she would probably be the last person to know.

"His tent, I think." Indigo sputtered out— since Clarke's voice was so demanding. Clarke then glanced around the camp and nodded.

"Alright, come on," Clarke ordered Finn and Indigo, while she began to walk off. Indigo and Finn looked at one another for a moment before following the blonde.

The three made their way to Bellamy's tent, Clarke quick to unzip it— not even asking if she could enter. Finn instantly walked in, and Indigo hesitated before stepping into the tent.

Indigo's expression faltered when she saw two
girls— only in their underwear. Indigo stares at the two angered girls.

"Oh great it's a free show." the brunette one snapped once she saw Indigo and Finn, "Anyone else want to take a look?"

"Where the hell is Bellamy?" Clarke asked, her tone angered— totally skipping over the girl's words as if she didn't hear her.

The girl didn't speak for a moment— causing Indigo to just stare at them both. A blonde girl was in his bed, and the brunette was standing in front of them, holding a blanket over herself.

"He took off a while ago." the girl said dryly as if she was higher than the three who were intruding. Finn's eyes scanned the tent before speaking.

"Gear's gone," Finn said, his tone almost worried— to which Clarke looked over at the boy, but Indigo just kept glancing between the two girls— some pit forming in her stomach.

"He told everyone to stay," Indigo spoke finally, breaking from her trance and glancing at Finn and Clarke.

"Whatever's in that thing, he wants it." Clarke said in an irritated tone, knowing Bellamy was going to go behind their backs again, "We've gotta get there before he does." Clarke said in a raspy tone, before leaving the tent quickly.

Finn then left, and Indigo went to leave but the brunette girl then spat out words, "You're welcome." she spoke dryly once again.

Indigo glanced over her shoulder at the girl— giving her a forced smile, before leaving Bellamy's tent. Indigo let out a sigh before catching up to Finn and Clarke.

Annoyance was coating her body at the thought of Bellamy, as she followed Finn and Clarke from a distance— letting her thoughts drown out their conversation.

Indigo then broke off from the duo and grabbed her bag full of supplies and whatever else they all needed. She went back to the two— who were grabbing more supplies, then they were off.

─. ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─

The three had been walking for hours— and dawn began to rise into the sky, causing the forest to brighten. Indigo didn't like this— she couldn't understand why it was nothing but constant chaos.

"Should we split up?" Clarke asked the two, causing Indigo to avert her attention to the blonde on her
right— as the three were lightly jogging, trying to get to the pod before Bellamy.

"Yeah." Finn said, causing Indigo to glance between the two— not exactly okay with being alone in the forest, "You both go that way." Finn said, causing Indigo to let out a sigh of relief, "I'll check the bottom."

"Okay." Indigo and Clark agreed in unison, darting off the right, and Finn leaving to the left in search of the pod.

The two girls parted from the boy and began to jog through the forest— looking for the space metal. Clarke signaled Indigo to follow her through a part of the forest she had never been to before.

Indigo then saw something shining and rushed towards the glint. Clarke quickly tried to catch up to the older girl, but Indigo was already gawking at the ship— trying to pry the door open.

"Indigo!" Clarke shouted out, as Indigo finally pulled the stiff door open. Clarke then sighed once she saw Indigo pull the creaky door open.

Indigo then went to pull herself into the ship but was quickly shocked at the sight of a blood girl, who had her brown hair pulled into a tight ponytail— and she stared at Indigo blankly.

"Holy shit!" Indigo whisper yelled— slowly pulling herself out of the pod, as the girl gave her a confused look.

"Hi." the astronaut said blankly. She then glanced around her ship and darted her eyes back to Indigo, "I made it?"

Indigo then let out a soft sigh, and smiled at the astronaut, giving her a small nod. Clarke then rushed over and stared at the girl in the pod— Indigo wanted to cry, for various reasons.

The astronaut was going to be thrown into hell, but Indigo wasn't going to give her any doubt— it was her first time on Earth.

Clarke and Indigo then began to help the girl out of the pod, both of them helping pry her out of the space metal. The girl then took off the spacewalking suit and stepped out of the pod for the first time— her eyes darting around at the vibrant trees.

She slowly began to walk out into the forest— her eyes bright with the sun. She then raised her arms
slightly— looking up into the sky, and savoring the moment. She then let out a light laugh at the fact she was on Earth.

Indigo watched the moment— remembering how excited she was to be on Earth, only for it to destroy her more than she could've ever imagined. Earth— her, Earth was always out to get her, and she never expected it not to be now.

The girl then took a deep breath— staring up into the tall trees, "I dreamed it would smell like this." she said, her smile so evident in her voice. The sky began to
cry— happy tears, at the girl's arrival, causing the girl to slowly lower her arms, "Is this rain?" she asked slowly turning to Indigo and Clarke who were standing side by side.

Indigo slowly nodded at the brunette with a smile, as Clarke just smiled widely at the astronaut. The cold water sprinkled onto the three girls— as Clarke and Indigo stared at the new arrival.

"Welcome home." Clarke smiled at the girl— to which she let out a small laugh and lifted her head towards the sky once again.

The three were quickly pulled from the moment when a familiar voice yelled their way— and their eyes darted toward the culprit.

"Raven!" Finn ran towards the three a small smile on his face at the recognition of the girl. 'Raven' then quickly smiled very largely and rushed towards the boy.

"Finn!" Raven exclaimed, as he quickly wrapped his arms around her back, as Raven held his face. Indigo winced at the scene— glancing Clarke's way, knowing that the blonde and Finn had a small thing going.

"I knew you couldn't be dead." Raven breathed
out— blood still smeared on her forehead, which kept causing Indigo to look away, the crimson making her sick to her stomach— death looming in the girl's thoughts again.

Finn opened his mouth to say something but closed it, glancing in Clarke's direction before back at Raven, "You're bleeding." he blurted out, unsure what to say.

"I don't care," Raven said— before quickly pulling Finn's lips into her, causing Indigo to grimace, and look at Clarke— who's heart broke in the moment.

As the two began to make out— in front of Indigo and Clarke, Indigo saw Clarke's faltering expression, and put a hand on her forearm— still learning how to comfort people, or just be okay with physical touch.

Clarke glanced at Indigo with a weak smile, then back at the two, who began to disconnect their lips. Indigo then dropped her hand from Clarke's arm and glanced in their direction— shooting Finn a small disappointed look.

Finn didn't notice the small glare and just stared at Rave in awe. Indigo was mad at Finn— but at the same time, she wasn't. He had hurt Clarke and was going to probably hurt Raven— sure, he didn't think he was going to see her again, but it had only been about a week or so, and the Ark would've eventually come down.

"How did you get here?" Finn asked, his tone still
odd— sounding excited, but worried. Indigo's heart ached at the sight of Raven being euphorically happy.

"You know that big scrap hold, the one on K deck?" Raven asked her smile never faltering from her lips. The moment Finn glanced Clarke's way again— Raven this time glanced at the two who stood side by side.

"You built that from scrap?" Finn asked, averting his gaze back to the girl with the ponytail. Raven then laughed lightly at his words— all giddy at the fact she was back with her boyfriend.

"I kinda rebuilt it." she said humbly, causing Finn to let out a light chuckle, "Please. Like that's hard." she said with a shrug, "It just needed a couple parts and some love." her gaze slowly lifted back to Finn's eyes.

"You're insane," he said, his eyes darting around the astronaut's face. Raven then let out another laugh at his words.

"I'd do more for you and worse." Raven said her tone lowering— and full of affection, "Just like you would for me." she said, trying to get Finn to respond, but he just stared at her.

Her words almost made Indigo collapse in embarrassment. She didn't know Finn well, but she knew that he had something with Clarke— and obviously gave up hope very fast.

Raven then winced slightly, almost falling over, but Finn quickly held her up. Raven then closed her eyes and furrowed her eyebrows at the fact her body ached— even though she was just flung into Earth.

"Come on, sit down." Finn insisted, slowly lowering her to a large rock, as she began to sit down, "Sit down here."

Finn began to take his jacket off and draped it over Raven's shoulders. Indigo then sighed and slowly began to take off her bag, grabbing a cloth out.

"Let me get something for that." Finn smiled at Raven, before jogging over to Indigo and Clarke. Indigo handed Finn the cloth, and Finn's eyes quickly darted to Clarke.

"I'm sorry," Finn said in a murmur— almost not wanting Raven to hear. Clarke then looked down and shook her head at his apology.

"Let's not talk about this," Clarke said quietly, wanting to leave the whole situation alone— but she understood that it would be better if it meant nothing.

"We've known each other our whole lives." Finn quickly added, ignoring Clarke's words— and Indigo stood awkwardly beside Clarke.

"We don't need to talk about it." Clarke began to walk towards Raven, causing Indigo to slowly follow behind, not enjoying this at all.

"She needs to put pressure on her wound." Indigo budded in— trying to change the topic. Indigo and Clarke approached the girl, and Finn handed her the cloth— weirdly, not cleaning it for her.

"Thanks." Raven breathed out and slowly put the cloth on her head to stop the bleeding. Funny then put his hands on his knees— examining Raven.

"This is Indigo and Clarke. They were on the dropship too." Finn informed Raven— and her head quickly raised to look at Clarke.

"Clarke?" Raven asked, beginning to stand— scanning the blonde, "This was all because of your mom." Raven said, surprised that she encountered Clarke.

"My mom?" Clarke asked, her tone surprised. Raven then glanced at Indigo and Finn— lowering the cloth from her cut.

"This was all her plan." Raven said, looking back to Clarke, "We were trying to come down here together. I'd we waited- oh, my god." Raven then realized something.

"What?" Indigo asked, suddenly adding to the conversation, Raven then slowly glanced between the three.

"We couldn't wait because the council was voting whether to kill three hundred people to save air," Raven said seriously— her expression almost stern at the topic change.

"What?" Indigo asked again in shock. Death, death, death— that's all her life was anymore. Indigo then took a step back running her hand through her hair.

"When?" Clarke stammered at the information. Raven then replied to Clarke quickly— realizing something else.

"Today." she deadpanned, "We have to tell them you're alive," Raven said, quickly pushing past, Clarke and Indigo, going to her pod.

The three others then quickly followed Raven to the pod, as she leaned into the pod to grab something, but let out a defeated sigh.

"The radio's gone." Raven said in a raspy tone, as she slowly pulled away from the space metal, "It must've gotten loose during reentry. I should've strapped it to the A-Strut." Raven whispered to herself, "Shit's stupid!" she exclaimed, punching the pod.

"No, no, this is my fault," Clarke said, and Indigo then realized that Bellamy must've gotten there before them. Indigo didn't know why he was so weird about contacting the Ark, but he must've taken the radio, "Someone got here before us."

"Bellamy." Indigo murmured in realization, "We have to find him." Indigo then turned to Clarke— not wanting Bellamy to get the satisfaction he wanted.

Clarke nodded in response and began to rush
off— Indigo then quickly caught up, having no idea where they would look.
