"𝚠𝚎 𝚜𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚐𝚘, 𝚠𝚎'𝚛𝚎 𝚕𝚘𝚜𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚑𝚒𝚖"
𝓐nastasia finally had gotten to sleep, it wasn't a blissful dream. Her mind was full of confusing events that drew her further into the dreams as she searched for the underlying answer hidden. Anastasia was awoken by her face smacking the the cold dirt floor. She spit out the taste of grass, turning her head to the side to see Octavia standing over her with her hand holding up the opening of the tent.
"What?" Anastasia questioned positioning her elbows up on the ground as she pushed herself up from the ground. She brushed the dirt off but all it did was spread it around her soiled clothes.
"You're going to want to see this" Octavia muttered with urgency, before heading out of the tent towards the glowing light of the fire. Anastasia could hear the whispers of others as she could see shadows fluttering from the stained cloth that were her walls.
Anastasia followed behind with a curious approach as she leaned her head out of the tent. She saw Octavia and the others with their heads pointed to the sky. She twisted her head up towards the twilight to what looked like a shooting star falling out of the sky.
Anastasia remembered reading about shooting stars in one of her books. They were believed to be magical and wish granting, so if humans saw one they would have one wish to wish upon it. Scientifically shooting stars were just asteroids being burnt up as they entered the atmosphere, but Anastasia liked to believe that they could grant wishes. She looked more closely realizing that it wasn't a shooting star it was one of the pods that were left from the merging of the ships a long time ago. It fell across the sky in a burning ball of fire.
"They're coming to help us" one person said with a laugh, "now we can kick some grounder ass"
"Please tell me they brought down shampoo" Anastasia heard a girl utter, it was such a odd comment that she looked behind her to see that she was one of the girls standing next to a shirtless Bellamy. Most likely the girls he's decided to spend his time with tonight. A feelings washed over Anastasia something she never had felt before as she stood there trying to focus on the sky, like everybody else, while her mind was focused on the girls with Bellamy.
"Ana?" She heard Octavia question grabbing her friends elbow, Octavia looked to where her eyes were noticing them on her brother, she decided best not to say anything. Octavia watched the sky with Anastasia long after the rest of the camp had given up. Anastasia wished upon the flying pod even though it wasn't a shooting star hoping that it would bring her, her one wish.
"We should go, I saw Bell head into a tent" Octavia said. Walking towards the tent were they stood with Charlotte just yesterday.
"If it cleared the ridge, it's probably near the lake" One of Bellamy's guards said pointing at the map.
"We should get moving, everyone's ready" Octavia said, not actually knowing that but she knew that they had to get there.
"No one's going anywhere, not while it's dark, it isn't safe" Bellamy replied seeing Anastasia walk in, "we head out first light, spread the word" he said dismissing the three guards that stood in the tent leaving him, Anastasia, and Octavia.

"Everyone in 100 miles saw this thing come down" Octavia retorted, "what if the grounders get to it first?, Bell we should go now, right Ana?" Octavia said bringing Anastasia into the conversation which clearly was just a brother and sister conversation.
"I mean...." Anastasia began stepping away from the tent's opening.
"We wait until sunrise" Bellamy replied walking out of the tent, pushing past Anastasia bumping into her shoulder causing her to meet up with his eyes that shown a side of him he hasn't seen yet. He appeared cold to her, and inhospitable, and he looked down on her with a blank face briefly before stepping out of the tent.
"Thanks for backing me up Anastasia" Octavia muttered sarcastically as Bellamy left causing Anastasia glaze to filter towards Octavia and not the silhouette of Bellamy walking out, "did something happen between you and my brother?"
"No, I'm just not used to being up this early" Anastasia replied, "If you want we can go find him and try to talk him into it"
"And you'll back me up this time?" Octavia questioned
"Yes" Anastasia answered causing Octavia to smile before they headed out of the tent. Anastasia saw Bellamy a few paces away, but he wasn't going to his tent, he was headed towards the boundaries of camp.
In the direction of where the ship crashed over the horizon. Octavia continued following her brother and Anastasia walked slowly behind. It was hard to see him in the dark but just like at Wells's grave she could figure out the shape of him from just the little moon light shining down.
Octavia slowed down to Anastasia's pace making them a few hundred yards from Bellamy but still following him through the woods as he continued straight on the path towards where his guard said that the pod would have dropped.
"If something actually happened with you and Bell, you can tell me" Octavia whispered to Anastasia, stopping Anastasia in her tracks as she kept and eye of the floating figure of Bellamy drifting away, "I mean, i know i'm his sister, but i also thought we were friends"
Anastasia sighed as she continuing walking noticing that soon Bellamy would fade away and they wouldn't be able to find him.
"Nothing happened, okay, i promise" Anastasia replied finding herself in front of Octavia.
"Fine, can i at least say this" Octavia said pulling Anastasia arm back, "as his sister, you're good for him, no matter where you fit in his life"
Anastasia stared at Octavia's truthful eyes, before she took a depth breath looking back towards Bellamy as dawn began to break over the sky. Octavia looked at Anastasia expecting an answer, but all Anastasia did was let go of the breath and continued on, turning her head back to Octavia.
"We should go, we're losing him", somewhere between catching up with Bellamy and the sun finally shining down on the ground that made the girls more visible, Octavia decided to stop following Bellamy shouting
"Bellamy!" Octavia shouted getting attention as she began running after him as Anastasia followed behind, "what are you doing?"
Bellamy pushed her away before she could even get close, "go back to camp, it isn't safe"
"then why are you out here?" Anastasia questioned losing speed as she walked up to him besides Octavia.

"You lied to everyone" Octavia said, "You lied to me!" She said pointing to herself like she was hurt, "you just want whatever's in that pod"
"Just go home!" Bellamy said shoving Octavia back, not stopping her interrogation.
"You always get to play the big brother, huh?" Octavia spit out stepping closer to Bellamy, "well, guess what? Jokes on me, you're just a selfish dick!"
Anastasia felt awkward standing in the middle of their sibling fight, something she had no right to get in the middle of. Octavia was her friend, and the only one she has since Clarke has been spending time with Finn. Bellamy, well Bellamy was someone to Anastasia, the truth was she didn't know who he was to her yet, he most certainly wasn't a friend, but he wasn't her enemy. She wished she could figure him out, one minute he was helping her and then next he's planning another suspicious thing after another.
"I did this for you!" Bellamy shouted, "to protect you, if the Ark finds out we're alive, they'll come down, and when they do i'm dead"
"What did you do?" Octavia asked accusingly,
"I shot him" Bellamy breathed out, "I shot Jaha" he said causing Anastasia to gasp covering her mouth. He shot Jaha, someone who was like a father to her, more than her real father was.
"Bellamy..." Anastasia said fainting knowing he had no idea what he did when he shot Jaha.
"I found out they were sending you to Earth, i couldn't let you go alone, someone..." he broke his sentence looking at Anastasia, "came to me with a deal, do this, kill him, and they'd get me on the drop ship and I did it" he said
"You killed the chancellor?" Octavia whispered as if the they were on the Ark.
"He floated our Mother, he locked you up, he deserved it" Bellamy said
"I didn't ask you to do that" Octavia said, looking at his dirty face.
"You're right, i made the choice, this is on me" Bellamy replied, "whatever they sent down, ill take care of it"
"I didn't ask for any of this" Octavia uttered before running away.
"Octavia!" Bellamy shouted for her, "Ana?" He questioned the girl who was still cowering next to him. She didn't know how to react as she tried to prop her head up with a balled fist, as she sniffled away tears, "I'm sorry, for last night, and Jaha" he tried to take a step towards her but she quickly stepped back neutralizing his movement.
"I know, but i should go, find Octavia and make sure she gets back" Anastasia said pointing towards the direction that Octavia ran in,
"Thank you" Bellamy breathed watching Anastasia smile in his direction before taking off towards Octavia.
Octavia was harder to find, than Bellamy. She ran faster disappearing before Anastasia could even start. She noticed the foot prints in the soft, puttylike mud, that was the only thing that told her she was going the the right direction.
"Octavia!" Anastasia began screaming not recognizing where she was. She ran out to a clearing the forest after hearing a quiet thud. She ran out to find a part of the forest she has never seen before, proving to her that she was truly lost. She looked down to find what made the thud to find Octavia knock out cold at the end of the steep hill, "Octavia!" Anastasia screamed running down slipping on a rock falling down, hitting her head on the ground at the end as everything got fuzzy.
"Miss Anastasia, you father request to see you" the guard spoke walking up to her after she had escaped them back at her classroom doors after her private lesson.
"Tell him, I'll be there soon" she replied noticing the guard hasn't left, "hello? I know my way home"
"You father wants you know, Miss Anastasia" the guard replied
"Well i'm kind of busy, right now" Anastasia answered looking at the view of the earth, it was once in awhile you could see it. Anastasia always made sure she was there when the Ark rotated towards it.
"Now!" The guard yelled grabbing her hand, pulling her away from the window. He yanked her across the ark forcefully, not minding what they ran into to. Anastasia saw herself run into a janitor cart, she was about to apologize to the guy but the guard continued until the arrived at her home.
"Aww my lovely princess" her father said as she arrived.
"What did you have to tell me father?" She questioned as she was dragged into a hug. Affection was something her father rarely give, especially after her mother "died of heart problems". He never commended her for her work at school, and even if one of his associates applauded her, he never cared, "uh, father?" Anastasia questioned her voice muffled on his chest.
"It's official, princess" he screamed with joy breaking away from the hug, "all you've worked for, will be worth it, when you turn 18 you will become chancellor"
"What? 18? That's months away, Jaha is still able to run as chancellor why doesn't he?" Anastasia questioned.
"You're about to be the youngest chancellor and you're not excited?" Her father questioned.
"No, I am, just curious, you know" she replied
"Understandable, but it's your biggest dream, and it's finally coming true!" He shouted pulling her into a hug, not realizing by her dream, he meant his.
"Anastasia!" Her father screamed as his voice faded.
"Anastasia!" Her eyes fluttered open as she saw Octavia standing over her with blood running down her head, Anastasia could feel the warm liquid as running down her head as her ankle was killing her, "oh thank god you're alive" Octavia said wrapping her into a hug, as Anastasia noticed that it was no longer day time but night time. A burst of light came through when dozen of lights shot into the sky commanding Octavia's and Anastasia attention. They looked over to see a man standing in front, with paint running down his face and pelts wrapped around him. A grounder. He gave them one look at him before knocking them out cold again dragging both of them through the forest.

Jordan Leoren – A Tale From The Wizarding World
Jordan Leoren is, unfortunately, not your average 10-year-old boy. He is handsome, from a rich family, and has been a very popular child model and actor since the age of 4. His long golden locks and piercing blue eyes could be easily identified by anyone in England and many across the world...and he hates it. He doesn't want the fame and attention, nor does he want jealous looks from other boys when the girls swarm him. All he wants from life is to explore and discover the unknown. From artifacts and treasures located deep in dungeons to strange glyphs or languages found covering ancient ruins. He longs for adventure and to be free of his constricting schedule. If it wasn't for his parent's proud smiles and expectant eyes, he would have long ago quit and lived normally. He lives a kilometer or so from the small village of Godric's Hollow in his family's manor. This manor has been in his family for generations and they are considered one of the founders of the village. This, and the small-town vibe, basically ensure Jordan cannot go anywhere in the village without being immediately noticed and called for pictures, autographs, or asked to meet people's sons or daughters. Jordan's saving grace is the huge plot of land that his family owns around their manor, and it is his one source of adventure and escape. It is in this large expanse of rolling hills, lush and verdant forests, and rocky crags that he finds a secret. A secret found just days before his 11th birthday. A secret that truly starts his life. No more dreaming of adventure, it is time for him to experience it and discover the mysteries of a strange new world and his family's legacy. The legend of Jordan Godric Leoren is about to begin.
