ALL NOVEL Chapter 33: [Chapter—33]
I lay staring into the ceiling with a slight groan, tommorow we would have to work the entire day fixing everything and anything that had been damaged due to the storm.
I would have to be extra busy tommorow fixing some immediate buildings like the kitchen, smoke house and maybe upgrade them myself probably?.
Yeah, that sounded like a good idea, it would also bring me closer to the non combatants in a way.
" Zek...." I was brought out of my musing by 'my' nickname being called, I still wasn't sure whether to like the nickname or not.
Looking at who called me I gave Clarke a smile as she lay besides me and stared at Finn.
" Thank you." She muttered in a low tone.
Chuckling at the way she looked at Finn I simply shook my head not wanting to think about that.
" It's fine, Raven is someone I knew back in the ark...she was the only thing close to a friend I had back then, think of this as me repaying that." I said with a shake and I was being serious and truthful for once, even if the memories of this body didn't come with any emotional attachments I still wanted to repay her for some of the stuff she had done for me back then; even if it wasn't really me she did it all for.
" Even so, thank you." She said before falling into silence as she leaned towards me leaning her head on my shoulders.
I paused for a moment but didn't say anything, Octavia was in the top floors alongside Bellamy who had climbed up between me pulling a knife out of Finn.
The only ones here were the guards who minded their own business just guarding the stuff that was brought it just in case.
" So I take it you still like the guy?" I asked breaking the silence but said it in a low enough voice that only she could hear.
" A small piece of me still cares, but no." She said before pausing and then continuing." He lied to me and not only that but the moment raven appeared he threw me for the curve in a way, he chose her."
" I see, then do you have any guy that has caught your fancy yet?" I asked, part jokingly and part actually curious about who I'd need to have 'accidentally' mauled by a bear.
I am not doing all of this bullshit and acting all nice and supportive just for someone to steal my prey.
' I should probably touch more grass, I'm starting to think of girls as prey now...'
" Actually....there is, but it's impossible between us." She said, her voice gaining a mischievous but joyful tone.
" Oh why?, he's not a grounder or something is he?" I asked actually serious as with the way some events tried staying the same as in canon I wouldn't be too surprised that Clarke replaced Octavia and eloped with a grounder or something.
" Hah! No, he's just taken and I don't think I can beat his girlfriend in combat to take him for myself yet." She said jokingly causing me to chuckle as I guessed who she was talking about.
" Oh? Why not just talk to the girl instead and try to work yourself into the relationship through her?" I asked part jokingly and part wanting her to do the job of talking with Octavia for me.
" Oh please, like anyone would agree to share their boyfriend." She said with a roll of her eyes and a chuckle making my mind go on overdrive as I tried thinking of ways to convince her to go for it.
" Hey, we're on the ground now so anything is possible, plus I've read in one erotic book I found back in the ark that things like threesomes and even more were a thing back before the fall of bombs." I told her and this time she actually seemed contemplative as she suddenly went quiet.
" I'll think about it." She said not dismissing my idea.
" Well, I hope you and whoever the guy that caught your eye a hopeful future." I told her with a chuckle.
" Heh...sure." She chuckled and suddenly snuggled closer to me before she fell asleep and I followed not long after, the guards were awake and ready to protect me if needed anyways.

The next came and the camp was like an ant colony, boys came in from outside camp carrying logs into the camp.
I by my crafthouses side quickly worked and stripped them before making planks, and base wood with them and sent them to a plethora of areas in the camp for later; they would be used to upgrade the buildings we had.
I had already finished fixing the kitchen, smoke house and butchery.
I had made then structurally better having dug into the ground and erected pillars for them and using rope and bark rope to tie everything into a neat mess which was further enhanced by my Shiar Dust Improved Building Mud.
The hunters helped by the other 100 that weren't working were fixing the small patches of the walls that were damaged and making them even better with the downed trees around camp.
Clarke was tending to the wounded, I had pulled Raven off Finn's unconscious body and sent to man the radio and pick the arks radio frequency back as it was knocked out during yesterday's storm.
Bellamy was helping with the walls, Monty and Jasper were putting together Materials to improve their still just as I had asked, I'd help them build it.
All in all, the camp was moving as fast and efficiently as possible getting the camp back to their feet.
My crafthouse by the way wasn't affected by the storm which had suprised me for a bit before I started making more of my special mud for building even if it took a good 2 hours of my day but since I started earlier then it was fine.
