The way that the others seemed to admire him had not changed in this  six years that they had been apart. Of course Madi did not know what it  had looked like before, but felt like she had through Clarke’s words.  The boy had shaggier hair now, at least that was what Madi figured.  Something would have had to change.  She observed the others, as  they reunited with Clarke, wondering if they were going to see her.  Made figured that Clarke would eventually tell them about her, but  it seemed to be taking a little while longer than she hoped.

She continued watching before the boy broke away from the reunion. Madi did not know who he was, despite the fact that she felt like she  knew way too much about him.  She looked up at him, straightening  her hat as words began falling out of her mouth. 

“You’re Bellamy, yes?” 

“I swear Clarke, it’s time to eat the berries. They’re falling off the bush!” Madi had been staring at those berries every time she was told to walk  past them. She wanted to eat them weeks ago, but Clarke had said they were to save them for when the fish didn’t come. However, Madi was determined to make today the day. “Please Clarke, can’t I have one?” 

Her jaw dropped. Madi had been sitting in silence and listening to the  people who came from space discuss how they would proceed to save Clarke, and she was fascinated. Raven spoke with so much intelligence and conviction that she just wanted to keep listening. “Briyon."

Why was she here? How was some older girl alive and trying to take  over her home?  Madi didn’t know why she wasn’t dead, but she still believed that she had to protect her home. That was what the adults did when she was alive and that was what she was going to do as the  only person left. That was why she did her best to defend her home  with all the skills she had gathered in the past. Mad used traps, small  knives and everything in her power to get rid of the intruder but alas, her methods had yet to produce any kind of success. 

Madi spotted the girl again by the river. She seemed to be doing something with paper. Writing maybe. Madi wondered who the  girl could possibly be writing to, as they were the only two left on  earth it seemed. From behind the tree, Madi watched as she  attempted to formulate her next plan. 

Then the girl left, leaving the paper behind. Once she was far enough away, Madi approached the paper and picked it up. The picture on  the paper took her breath away. Why did the girl draw Madi? As she held  it, she couldn’t help but crack a smile. It was nice after all. 

She hid among the trees, extremely alert, just in case any of them strangers decided to come for her again. Soon, night fell. Madi  climbed up a tree with the intent to sleep until morning. However,  her slumber was interrupted by the landing of another ship. Who?  Scaling down the tree, she moved toward the noise just in time to see the strangers pointing their guns at other people.

Since they were not with the people with the guns, Madi figured that there was only one solution. One of the new people had to be Bellamy.  Clarke believed that he would come. However, recognizing who Bellamy was would be a different story. Nevertheless, she pounced. From out of view she charged the men taking them out with the gun that Clarke had  left with her. Once the men had fallen, she looked at the crowd of new strangers. 

“Hello?” 

She felt like she had learned so much about him, despite the fact that  she had never truly met him. Everything she knew was from the stories Clarke told as she drifted off to sleep. 

‘THE HEART.’  He balanced the personality of the protagonist of the story. Despite Clarke telling her that he was real, Madi found it hard  to believe that two people were so compatible as friends. She figured  that Clarke’s head might have just gone a little askew due to Primefaya. After all, none of them really expected to survive it. Add that to almost  twenty-two hundred days of waiting, meant that Madi was just a little  bit skeptical.

However, her perspective of Clarke changed when the correct  rocket made it back down to earth. Clarke seemed overjoyed to  be reunited with her friends while Madi was left star-struck. They were real. All of their stories seemed to whimsical to Madi, but  seeing them in person shifted Madi’s whole reality. 

She stood and watched as an older boy approached her, his name  escaping her mouth before even giving him a chance to say something.

“Bellamy.. You’re Bellamy.. right?”
