He had sat back against the cave wall when the girl spoke up again. "Can you tell me a story to help me fall asleep?"

He thought for a moment before replying, "Like what?"

"Tell me how you met Violet."

Now

Bellamy smiled at the mention her name. "Violet?" he questioned. Charlotte nodded for him to start. "We met a year and a half before Octavia was caught."

Violet Kane stood against the wall of the Ark as she watched families collect their rations. She always felt guilty for being the daughter of Marcus Kane; a member of the counsel and second in command to the chancellor. She felt guilty because she knew she never had to worry about going hungry. She felt guilty that she couldn't do anything to help the poor families that had to go without because they weren't high enough on the hierarchy to be given the same amount of care as she was. Until, she had an idea.

Every time Violet had received her rations she'd give them to a family in need. She knew that the plan wasn't foolproof as she would need some of those rations to survive, but she had only kept as much as her body needed to survive.

Sometimes, Violet  would take extras to give out. Not too often considering if she has gotten caught she'd be arrested.

As she watched each person grab their set of rations, a certain person caught her eye. A tall brunette boy was standing in line and he seemed to be nervous. His face showed it all. That, and he kept looking around while clenching and unclenching his hands. She kept her eyes on him as he watched the guards hand out rations. When it was is turn he seemed like he wanted to say something to the guard but decided against it. The whole ordeal confused Violet.

After everyone had collected their rations and the guards dispersed, Violet had snuck into the room where all the extra rations were stored. She once again managed to take an extra so she could leave it for someone who needed it. The only question is who would it be this time.

Walking through the Ark Violet had come across the boy from earlier. She had decided to be nosy and follow him. Eventually he had stopped at what she assumed was his room on the Ark. As he went to open the door a dark haired woman came out. Violet hid behind a corner.

"Did you get it?" the woman asked frantically.

"No." the boy replied sheepishly.

"Why not?" she reprimanded him.

"I just wasn't able to mom." the boy replied harshly, pushing past her into the room. The boys mom followed after him, yelling things Violet couldn't make out from where she was.

When the door closed she waited a few minutes before walking up to it and placing the extra rations she had taken in front of it. She knocked on the door before quickly bolting down the hall to her room.

From then on, the extra rations Violet has taken managed to always end up in front of that same room.

One day, when she has set the rations down at the door she heard a deep voice behind her.

"So you're the one who's been leaving the rations."

She gasped as she turned around. When their eyes connected she felt world shift. He was sure he stopped breathing.

"Um yeah, I'm.. sorry."

He laughed, "Why the hell are you sorry sweetheart?"  "You have no idea how much you have helped me." He held his hand out, "I'm Bellamy."

She smiled, making his heart skip. "Violet."
