chapter 4
Amara reached out to open the door that would lead us out of the pod and I stopped her by grabbing her arm “are you crazy!What If you get the red virus or worse you expose us to some sort of radiation!“I said angrily. She would get us all killed for nothing.
She shook my hand off as her green eyes glared daggers at me “Don’t you ever touch me again,If you want you can just stay here and starve to death or wait for the oxygen to run out.I will take my chances out there.”
“I am with you on that one red head. I would rather die out there than in here with a murderer”John said glaring at a blond headed guy,he never spoke a word since we have been in the pod.He silently stared at the door as he got up,he walked towards the door and opened it before walking out. My jaw dropped at his action,the guy was insane and we all watched him as he stepped on water.
He stood there as his shoulder length wavy blond hair got blown by the wind.He breathed in deep looking up at the blue sky-the sky my mother always told me stories about.I watched as Amara ran out with pure excitement radiating off of her in waves,she jumped around in the water splashing it around. “Don’t be so broody dark angel,you are free now.” Tyler whispered in my ear and I smiled.He was right and we were finally free.
I walked out and breathed in deep,this is how it felt to be free without any walls staring back at me. I looked up at the blue sky,it was so beautiful and the light-sun light.Its warmth breathed on my skin and the feeling was nothing but pleasant and soothing. “Aria!” Lilah squealed as she splashed some water on my face and I squealed in surprise.
“lilah!” I exclaimed wiping my face.
“Who would have thought that this place was actually real!” she grinned as she danced around.
I smiled at her,she was so happy and I didn’t blame her at all because I was happy too “I know right! My mother was right all along...”
“I told you but you never listen Aria,Clarke was right about everything,“she smirked at me and I knew she was having fun rubbing the fact that I was wrong in my face “You should probably apologize to her when they arrive”
I widened my eyes at her “Apologize for what?”
“For being wrong and fighting her on this.If it wasn’t for her you would be stuck at AGUA ready to meet death”she said sternly and I frowned.
“They left thousands to die down there,should I thank her for that too,” I said a little angry.I just couldn’t get over the fact that people were going to die,so many children as well.They deserved to have a life too just like us but instead their fate was chosen for them by some other people they didn’t even know.
“count your blessings!” Amara called out as she stepped on the land,she knelt down and grabbed some sand in her hand “You never know when it might all end!” she continued.
Lilah grabbed my hand and we walked to the shore “She is right you know”
“I am always right!” Amara said out loud although it wasn’t necessary since we could hear her loud and clear without the shouting.
“We should probably camp out here while we wait for the others to arrive” Sam said as she tied her jacket around her waist.
“That is probably a good idea” John said as he sat on the ground “We wait out here exposed,we don’t even know what else is out here”he said in sarcasm.
Sam rolled her eyes at him “So what do you suggest we do John,hide somewhere in the forest.Who knows whats there in the forest,I would rather stay right here.”
“Wow Sam,your survival skills are just great.I mean its a good idea to hide in the open were anything and anyone can easily spot you” he said glaring at her.
Amara groaned “would you two just shut the fuck up already,we will stay here and wait for our people.We cannot just go without notifying them.We have no weapons to defend ourselves so going out there would be stupid.Hey Lilah,do you mind checking if our radio system still works.We need to know how long we have to wait for the others.”
“Oh come on guys lets have a little bit of fun,they will be here in a few hours.Stop fussing so much,besides they wont respond until they actually reach here.” Tyler said taking off his jacket and his white t-shirt.
“What the hell are you doing?“I asked raising an eyebrow at him.
He laughed “Going for a swim and you should all join me instead of being miserable and worrying about nothing because we are the only people here right now “he said diving into the water after taking off his pants leaving only his grey boxer shorts.
Amara smirked as she took off her jacket and her white vest. She had a white bra and white lace panties.To be honest Amara had a body to die for and she knew it. Her hips and her legs were perfectly toned.She wasn’t slim,she had nice thick thighs and a huge bust.A flat tummy and a tiny waist. “Hot damn” Lilah said as she stared at Amara without shame.
“Yeah,who can compete with that.I think I will pass,swimming is overrated anyways right...“I said chewing on my lower lip
“Are you coming or what!” Amara called out as she ran into the water
Lilah laughed “Oh please Aria ,have you seen your fat ass,Amara doesn’t stand a chance”
I rolled my eyes as I laughed,maybe she was right about that.My ass was huge but I kind of didn’t like that because it made me feel...fat.
“Uh guys,did you hear that?” Sam said as she looked at us with fear in her eyes
“What is it?Spit it out already” John said in a bored tone.
Sam stared at the forest surrounding us “It sounded like a ...growl.”
Suddenly a huge brown wolf walked out of the forest,it was the biggest animal I had ever seen.“Guys I am certain the wolves in our books don’t look that huge or scary.That thing is the size of an elephant” John said said staring at the animal as it walked slowly towards.
“I think we should probably run”Tyler said as he wore his cloths and Amara followed suit.
“Oh shit”I said as it suddenly sprinted towards us
“Run!”
