Back

We head back to camp once every one is awake. And once we get back we eat some fish, and gather more berries. As we sit on the campfire logs, I see something I didn't think I'd ever see again. The rocket. It's coming down. It goes fast through the sky, and comes crashing down near us in the woods. "They came back." I say happily to Lexa and Madi. "I knew they would." Madi says. "We better get over to them quickly, they probably think we're dead." Lexa says, as she starts to walk in the direction it landed. Madi and I follow her, and we get there in a few minutes. I see Raven walk out of the rocket first, and she spots me. "Clarke?" She asks. She runs over to me and gives me a long hug. "How are you alive?" She asks me, as a tear falls down her cheek. "The nightblood saved us." I tell her. Everyone else walks out of the rocket. Octavia, Luna, and Bellamy hug me and Lexa. Lexa seems shocked by Bellamy's hug, but gives in. When Luna hugs Lexa, they grasp forearms first, and when they hug I hear Luna say "I missed you sister." And Lexa smiles brightly. "Who is this?" Octavia asks. Madi looks shocked to see her as well. Madi runs up to Octavia and gives her a hug. Octavia looks confused, but huge her back tightly. "That's Madi. She survived because of nightblood." I say. "You're my favorite." I hear Madi quietly say to Octavia. Octavia smiles, and looks to me. "You told her about us?" She asks. "Yeah everything. I even drew her pictures." Everyone smiles and hugs her. "We have a camp set up at the only green spot on the planet." Lexa says. "That's why we landed here." Bellamy replies. We walk back and show them the village. They all seem impressed and happy. "Do you have real food? We've been living off Ravens Algae farm, and no offense Raven, but it sucks." Octavia says. "Yeah. We have some extra fish and berries. Madi tells her. When we get to camp, we cook the fish. Luna sits very close to Raven, and they hold each other's hands. "You too got close." I say as I smile. "Yeah. We sure did." Raven says. They kiss for a second, and then Luna looks at Lexa, and Lexa smiles. "So how'd you guys survive down here all this time?" Luna asks us. "We found the village after the radiation wave hit. We lived off of fish and berries. After a year, we found Madi." Madi smiles. "At first I ran from them, thinking they could be enemies, and I even got Clarke's leg stuck in a bear trap. Sorry about that." Madi says. "She led me right into the trap. We knew she was smart from that point on. I drew a picture of her, and she ended up talking to us. She stayed with us in the village, and Lexa and I taught her English and told her stories. Everything from being on the Ark to how we got to the village." I say. Lexa wraps her arm around my waist, and smiles at the memories. "Cute." I hear Raven quietly say when she sees Lexa's movement. "How did you all survive?" Lexa asks. "We lived off Ravens Algae farm, and we had a water generator. Luna taught us all how to fight, and we all got closer over the years. We looked down on Earth everyday, hoping we would be able to go home. And after the 6 years, we took the chance. I can't believe you survived." Octavia says. "I'm sorry for leaving you." Raven says. "You had to. If you didn't, you all could of died." I say. We spend the rest of the day talking and eating the fish. At night, every one goes to a cabin in the village. Octavia and Bellamy each take a separate one, and Luna and Raven take one. We set up a plan to go back to the bunker in the morning to try to open it. I go to my room in the cabin and lay down next to Lexa in our bed. She kisses my cheek. "Im glad we're all together again." She says. I'm happy that she cares so much. "Me too." I say. "You're a great mom to Madi." Lexa smiles. "So are you." We kiss for a minute, but we're too tired to do anything more. "Goodnight ai hodness." Lexa says. "Goodnight." I kiss her one more time before I fall asleep.

I have a good dream, where the world is back to normal. Everything's green except this one valley. And everyone gets out of the bunker. We build houses and live a normal life without fear. Madi grows up, and everyone is happy. I wake up and tell Lexa about it. She smiles and says she hopes that will happen. "You've been smiling a lot recently." I tell her. "I'm just so happy to be with you and Madi. And that everyone else is here. You make me so happy Clarke." She says before she kisses me passionately. "Get a room." I hear Raven say as she walks in, interrupting our kiss. "We have one. And you can't tell me you didn't have sex with Luna last night. First time in the ground for you guys in six years after all." I laugh. Raven blushes, which proves my point. "Ready to go?" Luna asks as she walks in. She looks tired. "Yeah babe, I'll go get Octavia and Bellamy." Raven says. "I'll go with you." Luna says, as she walks out with her. "They're cute." Lexa says. "I know." I say. I kiss her again, and it almost gets to something more, but we both know we have to leave. We walk over to Madi's room and wake her up. "You haven't had any nightmares recently. That's good." I tell her. "Yeah." Madi says, as she gets up. "I'll pack some food in the rover. It's going to be a long drive." Lexa says.
