Day 21

It is Clarke and Bellamy here. So, earlier we found Mount Weather which is kind of like the headquarters of the Earthborns. Right now, we are on our way to the leader of the Earthborns, so we can talk and ask him questions. I cannot believe that there are so many peo- Clarke, I think... I think that is Octavia! Oh my gosh, it is Octavia. We finally found you. We have been looking for you for forever. I cannot believe it is really you. I cannot believe it is you Bellamy. I never thought I would see you again. Oh, how am I going to do my grand entrance to camp? Ha, ha, ha. 

Hey guys, it's Wells again. I am about to leave camp. No one really wants me here and they claim they do not need me. Well, I am all packed ready to leave. Here goes nothing. Wait, what's that? No, who's that? Clarke, is that you? Oh my gosh, it's Clarke and Bellamy and...and Octavia! You found her!

Hey, it's me, Glass. I am on a dropship, coming to Earth. And guess what. Luke is here, right next to me! He just fought off a guard so that my mom and I could get a spot on the ship. I cannot believe that Luke and I are both lucky enough to get a spot on a dropship. I always imagined that we would be together when we go down to Earth, but I am glad it is actually happening. Well see ya on Earth! (If we make it.)

Day 21

It's Clarke again. So, three people are in the infirmary with some type of illness. One of them got attacked in the leg by an Earthborn. None of them seem to be getting better but I don't think it's radiation poisoning which is a good thing. Meanwhile, when Bellamy and I were in the woods a few days ago, we saw some metal pieces lying on the ground. (Right around where I got bitten in the arm by a snake.) I have a theory that they were off of another dropship from the Arc. Bellamy and I are back in the woods looking for the metal pieces. Instead, we have stumbled upon 3 huge rocks and each of the rocks has the engraving "Rest In Peace" on it. 

My name is Glass and I am still on the Arc with the love of my life, Luke. We are in the Walden section which is slowly running out of oxygen. The Arc is "dying" which is most of the reason why the Chancellor decided to send the 100 down to Earth. I just spacewalked right outside the ship from Walden to Phoenix, so Luke and I can survive longer on the Arc. That was the biggest risk I have ever taken but I would do anything for Luke. When I got over here, I saw a bunch of people struggling to breath in the other section, so I opened the door and let them out. So, I just shortened our oxygen supply to increase theirs.

It's Wells again. The other day Bellamy captured one of the Earthborns and we have been keeping her prisoner. I feel bad for her because she hasn't done anything wrong I don't think. So, I took a huge risk and let her outside of camp to show me where some food is. She would only do it if I took off her cuffs, so I trusted her completely. She hasn't betrayed my trust yet, so we are outside of camp again exploring. She is taking me along an actual road. OMG! There is a house! There are still some pieces of tile and cabinets in what I suppose is the kitchen. This is so cool!

Day 21 Blog 1

Day 21

My name is Wells. I am one of The 100 that got sent down to Earth to see if it is survivable after being engulfed in radiation centuries ago (aka the Cataclysm). The 100 are all children and teenagers that have committed a crime(s). The chancellor sent us down here to determine if the rest of the people on the Arc (what we live in while up in space, a ring-like structure) can come down to survive. Oh, and did I mention that my dad is the chancellor? Yeah, that makes it so easy to survive down here.  Five of us have already died though none from radiation exposure. All the deaths have been from attacks by the Earthborns. The Earthborns are the other people living on Earth that supposedly never left. How are they alive? I honestly don't know. They shouldn't have been able to survive the amount of radiation exposure that Earth was covered in. I am the only African-American and I am the one that has to dig all of the graves because no one else wants to.

Anyway, today is Day 21 of us being down on Earth. Yesterday, we were attacked by the Earthborns. They set fire to our camp and shot one of own: two arrows to the neck. Everyone is busy building cabins with wood that they found right outside of the camp walls in the forest. There isn't enough wood to make cabins for all 95 of us, so we have to take turns over who sleeps outside and who gets the luxury of sleeping in a cabin. Since the Earthborns set fire to our camp, a majority of our food is burned to a crisp. Also, since we found out the Earthborns somehow managed to survive the Cataclysm, we have been taking turns of guarding the walls. I usually get stuck doing all the night shifts because everyone else wants to sleep. I got to go to my post now.

My name is Clarke. I am also one of the 100 that got sent to Earth. I am seen as one of the "leaders" because I am the only one that is willing to stand up and take control. Right now, I am walking through the woods with Bellamy looking for his sister, Octavia. Bellamy and Octavia are two more of the 100. On the Arc, you were only allowed to have one child so the Arc would not get too cramped. Octavia's mom and Bellamy were successful with hiding her for about 16 years until the guards on the Arc found out and put Octavia in lock up just for being born. When Bellamy found out that his sister was one of the criminals picked to go to Earth, he shot the chancellor so he could get a spot on the ship to protect his sister. Bellamy would do anything for Octavia.

Around the time of the attack, Octavia went missing and Bellamy has made it his mission to find her: whatever it takes. We have been walking for two days now. We lost her tracks a little bit ago but Bellamy is determined to find her. As we were resting next to a stream, Bellamy caught sight of a footprint in the dirt on a path next to the stream. We found the trail again! As we followed the trail, I found a piece of metal that is from the Arc. Just then, something grabbed my arm and kept tightening its jaw around it! The last thing I remember before everything went silent is Bellamy telling me to stay with him.
