Chapter 170 [Vault]

Title - The 100: The Akashic Records | Chapter 2 | Female MC

____________________________________________________

[3rd POV]

Getting dragged through the Ark towards the dropship that would take her and the rest of the “100” to Earth, Rayna fought back the urge to fight back against the guard that was gripping her arm. She could have very easily torn away from his grip and killed him and the others surrounding her, but she controlled herself, knowing that going to Earth was for the better, much better than staying in this shit hole. 

Getting dragged to where the dropship was, she was dragged through it, the other teens unconscious around her as she was forced into a chair and strapped in. 

”Finally we got rid of the killer” One of the guards said with a scowl, as he harshly strapped her in tightly, causing her to glare at him. 

“Does she even know how to read or speak? Better to just kill the freak” Another one of the guards said with a scoff, as Rayna fought back a growl at what they had said about her, thinking she couldn’t understand them. 

“Probably not, but at least she’ll be useful this way” The female guard said, as the man just laughed as they walked out, the door slamming shut behind them as Rayna scoffed, leaning back in her chair. 

‘Damn guards thinking I’m stupid’ Rayna thought with a scoff. Mentally she was well beyond any of the teens she was sitting with, and likely beyond any other person on the Ark. 

Watching the doors seal tightly shut, Rayna grunted in annoyance at the tight straps that bound her. She could take them off, but she knew that was not the best idea, not when they were going to get flung through space onto Earth soon. So instead, she opted to glance around, as more and more time began to pass, as other teens began to awake in panic. 

She ignored the panicked shouts of the teens as she instead noticed the “Main characters” of sorts, Clarke, Bellamy, Finn, and Murphy. She disliked the latter three, while she didn’t mind the first. 

It was the last of the teens that caught her eye though, and probably her favorite of all the 100 characters…Octavia Blake. 

Octavia was the only person on the entire Ark that could understand how she felt, even if it was only a little. As Octavia, like her, was a second sibling, an illegal one. She, like Rayna, had gotten locked up simply for being born. The only difference being that Octavia was able to stay hidden for an entire 16 years before being found, all by hiding in the floors of the room she lived in. 

She was also drop dead gorgeous by Rayna’s standards, and had a fire to her that appealed to Rayna. 

Sitting, she watched as more and more of the teens woke up, the dropship shaking slightly as they were already being launched through space towards Earth. 

She watched as Clarke awoke, and as the Chancellor (The leader of the Ark and it’s people) began to speak on a screen above them. 

“Prisoners of the Ark, hear me now. You’ve been given a second chance, d as your chancellor, it is my hope that you see this as a chance not just for you, but a chance for all of us, indeed for mankind itself. We have no idea what is waiting for you down there. If the odds of survival were better, we would’ve sent others. Frankly, we’re sending you because your crimes have made you…expendable. And if, however you do survive, then those crimes will be forgiven, and your records wiped clean” The Chancellors recording said on the screen, as the other teens badmouthed the man and his son, who had snuck onto the ship all for some crush he had on Clarke. 

“The drop site has been chosen carefully. Before the last war, Mount Weather was a military base built within a mountain. It was to be stocked with enough nonperishables to sustain 300 people for up to two years. No one ever made it there” The voice echoed, as Rayna opted to block it out, instead focusing on a teen that was floating through the dropship like an idiot.

‘Idiot’ Rayna thought, as the ship screeched to a halt, launching two of the teens through metal pipes, killing them, while Finn was luckier and hit a wall, not dying. The ship shook and quaked as the lights within blinked, the ship rapidly shaking as several screams echoed through the ship, Rayna just breathed in as it finally landed, hitting the ground with a thud, and finally stopped shaking. 

The lights stopped blinking as much, as the machines that powered the ship stopped their loud hum. 

“Listen…no machine hum” A teen said, as they all noticed the lack of the hum of a machine, something that all of them, even Rayna, had grown used to over the years of living on the Ark. 

The sounds of the straps unlocking filled the room as Rayna sighed and pulled hers off, getting to her feet as she looked around the room, scanning for any sort of differences from canon, but found none. 

“The outer door is on the lower levels, lets go!” A teen said as Clarke exclaimed. 

“No! We can’t just open the doors!” Clarke said as she got to her feet after looking over the corpses of the two teens who had died in the descent. 

Getting to the bottom floor, Rayna watched as Bellamy, Octavia’s older brother, blocked them all. 

“Hey, just back it up guys” Bellamy said, as they all stepped back slightly. 

“Stop! The air could be toxic” Clarke said to Bellamy who rolled his eyes. 

“If the air is toxic we’re all dead anyway” Bellamy replied, only for Octavia’s voice to cut through the silence. 

“Bellamy?” She asked, looking at her brother that she hadn’t seen in around a year. 

“My god, look at how big you are” Bellamy said to his little sister, as she moved forward and hugged him close, the others watching in confusion. 

“What the hell are you wearing, a guards uniform?” Octavia asked, pulling back as she noticed the uniform. 

“I borrowed it to get on the drop ship. Someone’s gotta keep an eye on you” Bellamy said, as she hugged him again. 

“Where’s your wristband?” Clarke asked, causing Rayna to glance down, realizing she also didn’t have one, causing her to roll her eyes, not even surprised. 

“Do you mind? I haven’t seen my brother in more than a year” Octavia said to Clarke, not caring about some wristband. 

“No one has a brother” A teen said in the back. 

“That’s Octavia Blake, the girl they found hidden in the floor!” Another teen exclaimed as whispers filled the room. 

Octavia, hearing this, was ready to fight them, only to get held back by Bellamy. 

“Octavia, Octavia! No! Let’s give them something else to remember you by”

”Yeah? Like what?”

”Like being the first person on the ground in 100 years” Bellamy said with a smirk, as he moved over to the lever that would open the door, breathed in, and pulled. The lock on the door opened, as steam poured out, a bright light filling the room as Rayna blinked several times, her eyes adapting to the change in light after so many years of a dull grey. 

Octavia walked forward slowly, taking a deep breath of the air around them, as soft gusts of wind traveled through her hair. 

And as she walked forward, she jumped off the small platform that led down to the ground, landing on the soil below, and grinned widely. 

“We’re back, Bitches!” She yelled, as the other teens let out cheers, following her out of the dropship, onto the ground below.

Rayna was the last to leave the dropship, as she glanced around the area, noticing the surroundings, the foliage, the plants, scanning and taking in everything. She noticed several edible berries on some of the bushes nearby, as well as plenty of trees that would be excellent for building some proper cover. 

She ignored the looks she was beginning to get as she walked through the crowd of people, towards bushes where berries were held, before leaning down and gathering some. She noticed more and more people were watching her movements, as Clarke frowned.

”Who is she?” Clarke whispered to Wells, as he looked just as confused as she was. 

“I…don’t know? I’ve never seen her on the Ark before” Wells replied, as whispers echoed through the area, watching as Rayna began to gather sticks and other useful items for making a campfire as well as berries that could be used to eat. 

There was one person in the area that didn’t care to hide, and instead walked towards her with a little group following him. 

“Hey, who the hell are you?” Murphy’s voice echoed behind Rayna as she rolled her eyes and ignored him, instead focusing on gathering berries for herself. She cared little about most of the others. 

“He asked you a question!” One of the teens asked, walking forward and gripping her shoulder, only for her to glance back at him with an annoyed look in her eyes. 

“Hey hey hey! Stop!” Clarke moved forward, getting in between the teen and Rayna, Wells going to her side. 

“What? Don’t act like you don’t want to know either! Has anyone ever seen her before?” Murphy asked the crowd of teens, all of them shaking their heads. 

“See? How is it none of us know her? Everyone on the Ark knows everyone!” Murphy exclaimed, as Rayna glanced around, noticing the increasing hostility that was being sent her way. 

‘Go figure, a bunch of idiotic teens with little brains’ Rayna thought with a snort, shaking her head as she leaned down and went to grab her berries, only for Murphy to march forward and stomp on the gathered berries.

Seeing this, Rayna scowled “Now are you going to tell who the hell you-argjhh!” Murphy was cut off as Rayna twirled around, her hand snapped to his shoulder with a powerful strike, and in one move, she popped it out of socket as he held it in pain. 

“ACK! You bitch you!-“ “Stop being a pussy, I just popped it out of socket” Rayna said, with an eye roll, as she grabbed the berries that he didn’t destroy, before glancing back at the group. 

“I’m Rayna Kravinoff by the way. You wouldn’t know my name because I gave it to myself. Being locked in prison since the day you were born would make you do that” Rayna said simply, as she ignored the wide eyed looks. 

“You-you’re the one that killed that guard!” Clarke exclaimed, remembering the story. 

“I’m the one who killed a man that was attempting to rape me, a 14 year old. He’s lucky I didn’t do worse to him before I killed him” Rayna said simply, ignoring the looks of fear she was receiving. 

There was one look that caught her eye, and that was Octavia’s, who looked at her in a mix of understanding and…lust?

’…Oh I think I’m going to like her’ Rayna thought, glancing at the girl before giving her a wink without anyone noticing, the girl biting her lips in response. 

“But-you-you killed someone!” Wells exclaimed. 

“Yeah? So? He was going to do horrible things to me if I didn’t. What, was I supposed to just let him do it? It’s not like I could tell other guards or something. They’re a bunch of corrupt little monsters alongside the council, besides maybe 2 or 3 of them” Rayna said with an eye roll at his naive personality. 

“You-can you pop it back into place?!” Murphy exclaimed in immense pain. 

“I can, but I won’t. You just destroyed edible berries that could have been used as a food source, as they can be grown and harvested, giving all of us a food source. I’ll let you figure out how to pop it back on your own, you’re such a strong guy so I’m sure you can figure it out” Rayna said sarcastically as she popped a berry into her mouth, savouring the new taste. 

Glancing around at the fearful and gobsmacked teens, Rayna rolled her eyes before walking off, but not before saying one last thing as she did so. 

“None of you bother me unless you want your arm broken…well, except for the cutie over there” Rayna said, looking at Octavia with a small smirk, as she walked off, ready to find out more about where they had landed. 

____________________________________________________________________

That’s the end of the chapter!

So yeah, Rayna ain’t the best person in the world. And is pretty…brutal when pissed off. She won’t speak much, except when angered like this. 

Octavia is the love interest as said before, and likely only her. If I add someone, it’d probably be Raven and that’s it. But I plan on it only being Octavia. 

Anyways, have a good day!
