It took Charlotte a second or two to register what Bellamy had said. Run. She felt him grab her hand and pull her roughly along, not unkindly. They dashed through the forest, paying no heed to the branches scratching their faces and arms. It took all her stamina to keep up with Bellamy and away from the fog. She almost tripped once, the tip of her shoe catching on a stick. It was Bellamy's hand that kept her upright. They kept running, until Bellamy called out, "There's a cave up ahead!" She held onto the hope that there truly was a cave there. The duo turned a corner, and were faced with an opening in the rock. A cave! Charlotte ran inside, barely registering Atom's cries. She walked over to a hollowed nook in one corner of the cave, suddenly feeling tired. She lay her head against the smoothed rock, and slowly drifted into sleep. Charlotte felt arms hugging her, but they weren't her parents. It was a guardsman, and it was then she realized where her parents were, sealed in the airlock, about to be floated. Tears streamed down her face as tried to escape the guards tight grip. "Mom! Dad!" She yelled, sobbing. A bright red button in the corner started to spin, dizzying her. The Chancellor walked up to it, and slammed his fist into it. Everything turned to slow motion. Her parents waved a sad goodbye as they were suffocated in the emptiness of space, sucked from the space station that had been their home. Charlotte fell to the floor, her soul collapsing on itself. Suddenly, the Chancellor stood over her. He started to laugh, but nothing was funny. It was the maniacal laugh of a murderer. "No!" She yelled.(Italics is in Charlotte's dream) Tags: Bellamy Blake |

Charlotte listened carefully to Seren talk about being strong and getting back up. She knew she wasn't that type of person. She broke down because she couldn't handle anything. The one time she had tried to be strong and slay her demons, she had killed someone. "I'm not that kind of person. I wasn't born tough and selfless. I take the easy way out and do terrible things because of it. Because wherever I go, destruction follows. And I had no idea how to stop. So I did the easy thing. I can't make those hard choices. Not by myself anyway. Anytime I've gone the untrodden path, someones been there to help me, to guide me. But now I have no one. Because they're gone." she didn't need to specify who: her parents. "I grew up with out them, and I was never taught the lessons that parents pass down." She realized her foot had fallen asleep, and tried to shift her weight to wake it back up. She gasped as her head suddenly felt dizzy, most likely from the movement and loss of blood. She placed her hands flat on the ground, and promptly threw up. She started coughing and shaking. She knew she was losing blood fast, and would die if she didn't get help soon. "Help," she croaked out. "I'm losing blood," she said, a lengthy pause between each word. Tags: Seren |

"Charlotte." The older woman acknowledged. Charlotte flinched away slightly as Seren put her hand to the delinquent's head. Based on the Grounder's expression, it wasn't at a good temperature. "Where does it hurt?" Charlotte couldn't pinpoint a single place, so she was about to say she hurt everywhere, when a fresh bout of pain racked her body. She hazily noticed the warrior looking over her, probably at her injuries. Charlotte was surprised by the kindness being shown to her. She knew if someone had from the dropship had found a Grounder child, it was unlikely that the kindness would be shown back.
"Did you fall?" Seren said, gesturing to the cliff. Then in hurried tone, "Are your people looking for you?" Charlotte didn't want to retell the story of the last day or so, so she decided to keep the story to the basics, not including her killing Wells. Even Grounders were probably unlikely to help a murderer. "I did fall, but probably not as you think," she said softly. "I need to tell the whole story. When that acid cloud came, I hid in a cave with our leader, Bellamy." She paused, laying out her words I her mind. "I was having nightmare's, so he told me to slay my demons. And I did, just not in the way he intended. I did something," she paused again, trying to come up with a word to convey what she had done. "Bad. And someone else got blamed, got hurt, because of what I did. I couldn't hurt anyone else." She slumped slightly down the tree. "So I jumped. No one else is going to get hurt because of me." She said the last part fiercely. "And they think I'm dead. So no, they're not coming for me." Silent tears tracked their way through the blood and dirt caked on the young girl's face.
"I should have died," she whispered. "It would have been better. I'll probably end up hurting you too. I'm bad luck." She grabbed the knife from where it lay beside her and held the point to her wrist, uncertain. She had been so sure last night, but now she wasn't. Everyone was fine. Except for... She couldn't even think his name. She let go of the knife, letting it fall to the floor. She started sobbing. Thinking of her parents, and Wells, and Murphy, and Clarke, and Bellamy.

Charlotte wanted to scream when she saw the figure was a Grounder. But her injured ribs wouldn't let her make any noise above a whisper or a groan without setting off a whirlwind of pain. She had seen what the Grounders had done to Jasper, had heard the screams from the pain they had inflicted on him. She wanted to curl up in a ball and die at the foot of the large oak's roots. It would be best. Then she could finish what she had intended to by jumping off that cliff. It felt like an eternity ago, but it couldn't have bern more than 12 hours. It would be best for everyone to die right here. She wouldn't have to feel anymore of the pain that the Grounders might inflict on her. And she wouldn't be able to hurt anyone back at the dropship. The Grounder spoke, but it wasn't threatening or harsh as Charlotte had thought it would be. It was soft and gentle, but that scared her more. She thought it was the calm before the storm. "Do not be afraid," the woman said. Afraid of what, Charlotte wondered. The Grounder herself? The torture she was to be put through? "I'm not going to hurt you, what is your name?" Charlotte didn't understand. Understand why this woman didn't want to hurt her like the other Grounders had hurt Jasper. She couldn't wrap her head around it. Questions ran through her head, making it ache more than before. She gulped, not knowing to reply or not. She supposed since this woman didn't want to hurt her, saying her name couldn't hurt. She tried to speak, but her dried throught made the words sound like nothing. She tried again, and her voice came out, albeit hoarse, "Charlotte. My name is Charlotte." Tags: Seren |

(This thread takes place at the end of Murphy's Law.) Charlotte felt surprisingly at peace as the wind rushed next to her as she fell off the cliff. She felt she had made the right choice. It was serene, something that hadn't happened in a while. That was until she felt the hard impact of the ground. She landed on her side, and couldn't breath, not even to scream when she felt some of her ribs break. She finally caught her breath, and tried to stand up. She gasped and silent tears started to fall as her leg collapsed under her, broken. She felt around the small ledge, until she found a slight incline. Her face started to bleed as she used her arms to pull herself up the slope, cutting herself on rocks as she did so. After what seemed like hours, the sweet smelling grass leveled out. She pulled herself up into a sitting position, and leaned against the side of a medium sized oak. She sighed, not knowing what to do. She knew Clarke could help with her injuries, but she couldn't go back to camp. She could try and heal them herself, but she would probably only make them worse. At least she had the knife Bellamy gave her since she had used Murphy's to kill Wells. She felt slightly sad about that, but the nightmares were gone. At least, they had been last time she slept. Speaking of sleep, her eyelids started to droop and she was soon fast asleep, nightmare free. When she awoke, her soreness and pain distracted her from the sight right in front of her. She groaned, and was about to position herself in a more comfortable way when she froze. A silhouette was standing over her, framed by the sun's rays. She squinted trying to make out who the person was. Tags: Seren |

Charlotte's Soundtrack
Slay the Dragons
By Impellitteri
You've got ashes on the tip of your finger
You've got secrets in the back of your mind
You've been searching for the meaning of evil
'Cause you're attracted to the darkness of life
You've been playing with the words of a liar
And you're tired of the war that you rage
You've been hanging on the edge of the fire
And your pride has got you locked in a cage
You, you got to find the peace of mind that you've been looking for
You, you got to fight to have the life that you've been searching for
You gotta' slay the dragon
Running through the night trying to feel alright
And it's time you want to burn
You gotta' kill the beast
Carry all the weight of your love and hate
Will the tables ever turn?
You gotta' slay the dragon
Running down the road with a heavy load
Trying to leave the world behind
You gotta' kill the beast
Listen to the voice 'cause you have a choice
And it's time to draw the line
When you've reached the end of the road
And you find a hole in your soul
I believe it's time to slay the beast
Slay the beast
Slay the beast
You're still counting on the change of the seasons
You've been waiting for the passage of time
While your loneliness has taken you hostage
You've been hiding in a circle of lies
You, you got to find the peace of mind that you've been looking' for
You, you got to fight to have the life that you've been searching' for
You gotta' slay the dragon
Running through the night trying to feel alright
And it's time you want to burn
You gotta' kill the beast
Carry all the weight of your love and hate
Will the tables ever turn?
You gotta' slay the dragon
Running down the road with a heavy load
Trying to leave the world behind
You gotta' kill the beast
Listen to the voice 'cause you have a choice
And it's time to draw the line
When you've reached the end of the road
And you find a hole in your soul
I believe it's time to slay the...
You've got ashes on the tips of your fingers
You've got secrets in the back of your mind
You've been searching for the meaning of evil
'Cause you're attracted to the darkness of life
You've been playing with the words of a liar
And you're tired of the war that you rage
You've been hanging on the edge of desire
And your pride has got you locked in a cage
You gotta' slay the dragon
You gotta' slay the dragon
You gotta' kill the beast
You gotta' kill the beast
This song if for the Charlotte/Bellamy Blake relationship, especially in the caves, where he tells her to slay her demons. "It's time you want to burn" also applies to when she jumps off the cliff. (*cries*) |

Charlotte studied Bellamy's face for a response. It was something she had had to grown used to after her parents got floated. To see whether they would toss her aside and consider her a waste, or show kindness. A small smirk played across his face, but his eyes were unreadable. He was a dangerous person, and she didn't know if this was amusement or predatory. "Ok then," he said slightly playfully. She breathed a sigh of relief on the inside. It was amusement. But her amusement vanished when he pulled out the knife and held it out to her. She didn't like weapons. All of them reminded her of the shock sticks used by guardsmen on the Ark. Like the one they had used to subdue her after she "assualted" a guard. She grabbed the short knife by the hilt and weighed it in her hands. It couldn't have been more than a couple grams, but it felt like so much more. "But you can't hunt without a weapon." It became clearer that he wasn't going to baby her. Which made her happy. Maybe with him treating her like she was older, everyone else would too. "Ever kill something before?" She shook her head. Where would she have done that? He probably thought she was here for murder. "Who knows, maybe you're good at it." She looked at the knife, but jerked her head up as a horn sound filled the air. She hadn't heard it before, and it was startling. She looked around for the source of it, and saw an ominous cloud of yellow coming over the treetops. She looked over at Bellamy and tugged his arm. "What is that?" she whispered.

This is the moment when Charlotte is locked up. A guardsmen (doesn't matter who) is taking Charlotte's parents things to the redistribution center when she tries to take them back. Unsuccessful, the guard warns her to back off, and in anger she assaults him. PM me if you want to be the guard here!

Thalia Tait, Charlotte would probably be one of the captured, because there is no way she would be involved otherwise. (This all without the whole killing Wells and suicide thing.) I like the idea of a Mountain Man trying to hide her, because she is the type of person people try to protect. Maybe something else idk!

Charlotte's Soundtrack
The End of Innocence
By: Don Henley
Remember when the days were long
And rolled beneath a deep blue sky
Didn't have a care in the world
With mommy and daddy standin' by
But "happily ever after" fails
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
The lawyers dwell on small details
Since daddy had to fly
But I know a place where we can go
That's still untouched by men
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
And the tall grass wave in the wind
You can lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end
This is the end of the innocence
O' beautiful, for spacious skies
But now those skies are threatening
They're beating plowshares into swords
For this tired old man that we elected king
Armchair warriors often fail
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
The lawyers clean up all details
Since daddy had to lie
But I know a place where we can go
And wash away this sin
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
And the tall grass wave in the wind
Just lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair spill all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end
This is the end of the innocence
Who knows how long this will last
Now we've come so far, so fast
But, somewhere back there in the dust
That same small town in each of us
I need to remember this
So baby give me just one kiss
And let me take a long last look
Before we say goodbye
Just lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end
This is the end of the innocence
This song applies to Charlotte mainly because of the time she lost her innocence. This could either be the time she killed Wells, or when she assaulted the guard (incidentally looking for a guardsman to roleplay this moment with) Also when it talks about the dad flying, it reminded me of when Charlotte's parents were floated. It talks about the wonder of grass and the blue sky, something Charlotte would have marveled at. |

Charlotte flinched as the older boy reached his hand next to her to pull the axe out of the tree trunk. "I almost killed you." It wasn't stated as an aoplogy, it was stated as a fact. A cold hard fact. She knew everyone was on edge with the Grounders, but this had to be overkill. Throwing a weapon at everything that moved. Luckily for her, they still needed work on their aim. "Why aren't you back at camp?" The question caught her off guard. "Well, what with that guy who was dying..." She didn't know how to phrase that his screams, his dying, reminded her of when her parents screams were silenced by the vacuum of space when they were floated. "I just," she paused. "I couldn't listen anymore." It wasn't what she really wanted to say, but it was enough. Someone she hadn't noticed before spoke. "There's Grounders out here. It's too dangerous for a little girl," he said. It seemed she hadn't belonged anywhere recently, and this boy was proving it. She didn't fit in the Ark because she was a criminal, and with the other criminals she didn't fit in. "What'd you do to get here?" they would say. "Steal another kids teddy bear?" Everyone had always treated her differently. Except for that one older boy. She looke at him with interest. Bellamy. That was his name. It had finally come to her. "I'm not a little kid!" She spit out the words with anger. She had probably gone through more hardship then him. His parents were probably alive. But shr had finally found someone who didn't treat her different on the ground because of her age. Bellamy. Tags: Bellamy Blake |

The way the older boy looked at Charlotte scared her. It was a strict look. It made it seem as though he thought she had lost him something. Which she had their next meal. A blush colored her small, freckled face. Even she couldn't tell whether it was from embarrassment at being caught watching the hunt, or from costing them her food. He spoke, and it scared her. It sounded like the guards on the Ark. It could have been his tattered guards uniform as well. It reminded her too much of the day the guards had redistributed her parents stuff. When she had assaulted the guard and been sent to the Sky Box. "Who the hell are you?" She gulped, and her voice came out soft, like a mouse's squeak. "C-charlotte." She was still frozen, her muscles locked under his dark, piercing school. Tag: Bellamy Blake |
