But they’d eventually come together to defeat a dangerous enemy-the rogue faction of violent Earthborns who wanted to destroy the Colonists-and now everyone seemed to be doing their best to work together. Among other casualties, it resulted in the death of Sasha Walgrove, Wells’s girlfriend and the daughter of the peaceful Earthborns’ leader, Max, igniting tension between the groups. Less surprising: Vice Chancellor Rhodes engaged in a brutal campaign to seize power from the teens, who had become the de facto leaders of the Colonists on the ground. Clarke and the other members of the hundred had been stunned when several dropships full of Colonists landed on Earth. As oxygen levels dwindled, and panic spread, they fought their way to the dropships, which, unfortunately, could only hold a fraction of them. While the hundred had struggled to survive on Earth, the remaining Colonists realized their life support system had failed and they were running out of time. But their dropship had crashed, severing contact with the Colony. Clarke had been one of the original one hundred teenagers who’d been sent to Earth to see whether humans could survive on the radiated planet. And in the distance, Wells was sanding one of the new picnic tables with Molly, who’d recently started training with an Earthborn woodworker.įrom the sight of them all now, it was hard to believe how much hardship and heartache they’d all endured over the past few months. Two Earthborns were showing Antonio how to weave branches into wreaths. Felix and his boyfriend, Eric, were carrying heavy bowls of vegetables grown in the Earthborns’ gardens and prepared in their kitchens. All around them, Colonists and the Earthborns cheerfully prepared for their first joint celebration.

“Three hundred years of genetic engineering and we never came close to growing anything like this back on the Colony.”Ĭlarke smiled and took a bite, glancing around the bustling camp.

“Have you tried one of these? They’re amazing!” Mary Griffin set the basket down on one of the long wooden tables, picked up an apple, and tossed it to Clarke. Warmth spread through her chest and Clarke turned to see her mother walking toward her, carrying a basket full of apples from the Earthborns’ orchard. And most of all, she’d heard it in the wind.īut now she didn’t have to tell herself that it was impossible. It was a voice she’d imagined countless times since arriving on Earth.

Clarke shivered as a gust of wind blew through the clearing, rustling the red and gold leaves that still clung to the trees.
