Ataraxia (at·a·rax·ia) (n.) a state of blissful and serene calmness; freedom from emotional disturbance and anxiety. [ Bellamy Blake x OC ] When Freya was a kid, a kind family helped her out of a bad situation. The Blakes had taken care of her when her own father wouldn't - being too resentful towards the little girl for his wife's passing. During one of the many days on which he had locked Freya out of their living quarters to fend for herself, the sobbing girl had bumped into a little boy not much older than herself, Bellamy, and his mother Aurora. The two kids grew to be fast friends. Freya spent the next many years going to the Blakes whenever things became especially bad with her father, and she eventually ended up moving in with them until she was old enough to get her own place. She and Bellamy were inseparable. She loved his mother and little sister Octavia just like they were her own and relished in the feeling of finally having a family - of feeling safe and loved. But then one day, what was a very well-intended idea successfully put an end to all of that for good. Suddenly Octavia was imprisoned to await her death sentence, and Aurora was floated for breaking the law of only being allowed to mother one single child as result of the limited resources that came with living on a space station. With the knowledge that the idea had been Bellamy's, Freya couldn't find it within herself to forgive him, and this caused a rift in their relationship. A big blowout resulted in them cutting all contact, and rather than approach each other with a smile in the halls, they'd turn to walk in the opposite direction. What once was a beautiful friendship built over more than a decade grew into avoidance and mutual resentment, and no one was better for it. [ Season 1 • Completed ] [ Season 2 • In progress ]
