The Grounder from The Sky

Chapter Ten : "I can't believe I made it"

After walking for a few minutes I get the feeling that someone is following me. I shake off the feeling and keep walking.

Ok, now it's getting creepy. Stoping abruptly I search the area.

Nothing.

Crack

I turn to my left and see what looks like a shoe move behind a tree.

"Heck no." I whisper.

Taking my sword out of its sheath I cautiously walk to the tree.

Holding my sword in both of my hands I round the tree, striking it.

Nothing.

"Ok, what the heck is going on?"

I search the area again. Nothing.

What is wrong with me?

I walk backwards, keeping my eye on the tree.

Then, something knocks me on the ground, on my stomach. And there is someone on top of me. They are freaking sitting on my back. They are holding my arms down and I try to squirm out.

"If you be still I will flip you over." The voice said in my ear.

I do what I am told and they flip me over. At first I am surprised but, then again, I am not.

"Was this really necessary?" I ask them.

"I'm sorry but, I can't let you get to that ship."

"Why? What did you do?" I inquire.

"It's not you, it's something I did."

Then he grabs my hands and pull me up to the tree.

"What are you doing?!" I shout.

He then lifts my hands over my head and tie them over the tree and put a piece of cloth around my eyes.

"I am sorry?" He says.

"Bellamy! I swear if you-" I scream.

Something hits my head and I am out.

"Alex! Wake up!" Someone is shaking me.

"Well take the cover off her eyes." Someone else says.

I finally gain full consciousness, I think. Opening my eyes and shutting them quickly.

"Why is it so bright?" I ask.

"What do you mean? It's the late afternoon." Someone states.

I open my eyes again and try to let them adjust.

"Bellamy." I say.

"He's not here. Do you know where he went?"

I look up to see Clarke and Finn.

"I was on my way to the ship when he came, tied me up and he hit my head and knocked me out." I touch my left temple and pull it away seeing fresh blood on my fingers.

"He did that?!" Finn questioned.

"Uhuh." I reply.

"Finn give my the cloth. Alex look up and to your right." Clarke says.

After she cleans my wound they help me stand up. I look around looking for my sword.

"He took my sword." I breathe. I can't believe he went through all this. Just for what?

"Come on let's go." Finn says.

We walk for about 5 minutes and we reach the little ship. I can't believe how close I was to the ship. If I hadn't stopped I would've made it.

Clarke runs up to the ship.

"Alex get over here and help me!" She yells.

I run over to her. Inside the ship is a girl. She has blood on her head and seems to be unconscious.

"Hey, wake up." I say and shake her.

After a few more little shakes she wakes up.

"Huh?" She mumbles.

"Hello." I wave. "Clarke she's awake."

"Clarke?" The girl asks.

"Yes. Do I know you?" Clarke asks.

"No. But I know your mother, Abby." The girl answers. "I'm Raven."

Raven sits up, with several grunts

"Easy there." I help her out of the ship.

"Thank you. Wow." She looks around doing little 360's. "I can't believe I made it."

I do not see why these people are so amazed by all this.

"I'm Alex by the way." I hold out my hand.

She takes it and says "I haven't seen you before. What are you wearing?" She looks me up and down.

"Oh, um." How do I explain this to her?

"Raven!"

We all look over to see Finn standing a few feet away.

"Finn!" Raven yells and runs over and hugs him.

They know each other? I look over to see Clarke looking sad? I look back at Finn and Raven and there are....kissing? I guess they do know each other. This is so awkward.

"Radio!" I blurt out.

They stop and Raven glares over at me. "What?" She asks.

"Didn't your ship have a radio?" I ask.

"Oh, yea."

She walks away from Finn and steps into her ship. She rustles around, moving wires and such.

"It's gone!" She exclaims as she comes out. "It must of come off when I landed.

"No." Clarke says.

"Bellamy." I say.

"Blake?" Raven questions.

"Yea, you know him?" Clarke asks.

"I know of him." Raven walks back into the ship.

"He knocked Alex out because she was trying to come get the radio." Finn says.

"He probably took it." Raven states.

I have no idea what's going on so I just listen and watch, waiting for what will happen next.

"We have to find him." Raven tells us.

"Let's go." Clarke says and we all start heading back to camp.
