Clarke Griffin squinted as the sun stung her eyes for the first time in her life. She was the last one out of the pod, but she couldn't help but grin. She didn't think she had ever seen this many colors in one place. The other teens diverted around her as she stood stagnant at e base of the ladder. Clarke couldn't seem to find the will to move her legs as she was awestruck. As the other teens piled out, she felt one bump her on he shoulder, jolting her out of her dazed state. With a quick glance, Clarke noticed the brunette male who had passed on beyond her to discover their new home.
"Home.." She mumbled to herself at an almost inaudible volume.
"This is home." She repeated to herself.
For a moment, Clarke was able to ignore the corpse still in the pod. She as able to ignore her criminal record and the slew of secrets floating around in her mind. And suddenly...she just wanted to run.
Her legs took off in the familiar pattern of a sprint as she barreled past the rest of her peers. A bright smile made itself at home on Clarke's plush lips. In her entire life, she had never felt as free as she did in that very moment. The trees and shrubs flew past her as she ht her max speeds, and a jolt of excitement shook her body every time he hands would brush on the veiny surface of the lush leaves. As she continued to run, Clarke burst into a fit of laughter. Stereotypical of a young child experiencing a new joy for the first time.
"Wow." Clarke whispered to herself as she finally came a halt under a canopy of trees. The other teens were far behind her. The corpse. The pod. All momentarily forgotten. Right now it was just Clarke, a bunch of plants, and silence.
The woman plopped down to her hunches among the vegetation and took a deep breath. The air was clean and fulfilling as it traveled through her sinus- much unlike the musty, recycled air that Clarke was used to. Maybe his wasn't so bad of a sentence after all.
That is... if they were able to survive the radiation they had grown up learning about.
