A/N Just a little one shot that has been bugging me for weeks. I hope you enjoy.
I am alone. Finally I am alone after months of being in charge of criminal delinquents I am alone. I thought I would relish in this moment when it arrived, I thought I would feel relief, freedom, peace. In a way I do, I feel all those things because the ARK has finally arrived and these delinquents are no longer my problem. I no longer had to sacrifice myself, my morals, my beliefs for them. I walk further away from camp Jaha, away from my mother, Octavia, Lincoln, Raven, Monty, Jasper, and all those children that only hours ago I had committed murder for, I was walking away from Bellamy. As the thick cover of the forest engulfs me new feelings start to make themselves free, feelings for so long I thought a figment of my imagination, a small desire I managed to quench for months. As these new feelings take hold of me I begin to cry. Small, silent tears at first, tears of regret and sadness, but the tears grew in intensity and soon became gasping sobs. I stopped walking and leaned into the nearest tree. I no longer felt the freedom I felt moments ago for a few short seconds. I no longer felt the resentment towards the delinquents, my delinquents, mine and his. The truth truly is that I would do it all again for them, I would do it a hundred times over because they were mine, mine and his. Mine and his.
"What am I doing'' I whispered "Mine and his, not there's''. I turned quickly and started to run back the way I has just come. My thoughts and feelings from before vanished with the realisation that these kids, these kids that I thought I resented, the ones I wanted only moments ago to be free from, were family, my true family. Mine and his. They are ours and I am his. As I have been always.
He is standing where I had left him. Staring at the ground, memories of tears so recently shed stained on his tanned cheeks. I stopped short. The hustle and bustle of the camp being drowned out by the blood rushing in my ears. Mine and his. I am his.
"Bellamy'' Although I whispered his name, he seemed to have heard me. His back tensed slightly, his head slowly rising from the ground. "Clarke?" He whispered hopefully. I could wait no longer and ran into his arms, grasping him tightly to me. After a long moment he wrapped his arms around me and grasped me tight - just like I wanted him too. Mine and his. I am his.
"They need us Bellamy'' I said into his shoulder. "Those kids are mine and yours, not theirs. We have sacrificed everything for them. We abandoned our morals to save them. And I would do it all again. They are ours. I am yours'' I finally admitted. I felt him smile into my shoulder, a deep sigh running through is perfect form.
"They are ours. Mine and yours. You are mine and I am yours. I promise you, Clarke. They wont take them from us. We will go back, together, we will rest, we will regain all our strength and we will start again. We will take our delinquents and we will start again. Without the ARK. There will be no class, no discrimination. Only survival, Love and Peace. I promise this to you.
They are ours, mine and his. I am his and he is mine. Together we will reclaim our people, we will start again, away from the poisonous ideals of those left from the ARK. Together we will do this. Together we would reclaim what is ours. Mine and his.
Please review.
