I DO NOT OWN THE 100
Chapter one has been updated, thought I'd tweak it a little. Hope you like it! Let me know :)
Clarke POV
Clarke sat just outside the walls of camp, she needed piece amongst the chaos, time to think about her future, their future. Without realising it she'd become a leader of some sort and it terrified her to think that all of these people... kids... delinquents, looked to her for guidance when really she'd been locked up just as long as most of them. 14 graves. One of which held Wells. Wells... her best friend that she'd wrongly hated because of her Mom. Her Mom, the woman who'd killed her father. Her father, the man who could've saved them from this mess. She let out a sob but caught it just in time to stop any more from breaking through, she had to be stronger now.
"Get yourself together Clarke" She said to herself "You're stronger than this"
"Not to throw your own words back at you but you don't have to do this alone Princess" She sighed, she knew that voice like the back of her hand. A voice that had challenged her at nearly ever step of her journey with the 100
"I'm fine..." She said pushing herself up off the ground. The last thing she needed was an argument with the great ruler of arguments Bellamy Blake
Bellamy POV
He grinned despite himself when he saw her leaving camp, brave princess. Of course he had to follow her, he knew he couldn't things without her. Everyone knew, she was the only one smart enough to challenge him, make him think deeper into his actions. It angered him that she left the safety of the wall without a gun or even another person. Just as he was about to express his anger he softened at the sight he saw. Clarke, sitting there, crying, well not for very long. She wouldn't let herself appear weak even with no one around but her and the dead. He heard her mutter
"Get yourself together Clarke, you're stronger than this" He sighed no longer holding any anger
"Not to throw your own words back at you but you don't have to do this alone Princess" He saw her recognise his voice and a small part of him felt glad that she did, although he didn't quite know what pat that was just yet.
"I'm fine..." This made him angry... he knew she wasn't fine but she still shouldn't have put herself in danger, clearly they needed her too much for that.
"You wouldn't be if a grounder attacked" She looked him in the eye "No one goes out of the gate without a gun you know that rule Princess you helped me make it" One of the few things they agreed on was the safety of the camp and the use of guns.
"Ok" She said softly and tried to walk away but there was no way he was letting her get away that easy
"What if a grounder attacked, you'd be as good as dead, god-damn-it Clarke" He watched as her eyes met his
"Well lucky you're here O-mighty-saviour, Why do you care anyway, a couple of weeks ago you wanted me dead" Bellamy sighed
"That's not true. I was doing what I thought I needed to stay alive, you know it. I need you alive Clarke" He mentally cursed himself for calling her Clarke twice. Princess, that's what he'd always called her and that's how it had to stay.
"Because I'm the doctor right? Who else will keep everyone alive if I'm dead right?" She pushed past his but he gripped her arm to stop her
"You know it's more than that" he stopped himself for a second "I need you just as much as you need me if not more..."
Clarke POV
Clarke stopped dead in her tracks... he needed her. She could see it in his eyes, he needed her. For some reason that was exactly what she needed to hear. It frustrated her to be so reliant on another, especially on a planet as unreliable as earth but knowing they were in this together, made everything a little bit easier. Instead of arguing with him she did something neither of them expected. Without any other part of them touching she pressed a soft kiss to his lips. At first she didn't know why, perhaps to reassure him?
As soon as she'd pulled away Bellamy puled her back to him capturing her lips in his once more she knew it was more then that. Need, not want but need. With Finn they both wanted it but this was something completely new, and scary. This was the calm before the storm. When the storm would hit? She didn't know, but she sure as hell hadn't prepared herself for this to happen. Pulling back they both panted for the eye neither one quite sure how to deal with what had just happened but neither out right saying it was a mistake. Maybe because they didn't think it as a mistake. Smoothing herself out Clarke took a step back from him and immediately missed the warmth and protection she felt when she was in his arms. No, she told herself, you don't need anyone else's protection, you can look after yourself.
"I'm not going anywhere Bellamy, don't worry" With that they both walked back into the camp not a word of what they'd just done. She watched as Bellamy went back to his reinforcements with the wall and Clarke went back to attending to the injured. She needed a distraction, and mending a few bumps and bruises was going to the trick. Almost everyone had now recovered from the virus. Only a few, including Raven remained in the make-shift infirmary.
"Clarke, I need to talk to you" Raven said sitting up in her hammock, just as Clarke was about to convince her to lay back down the feisty brunette put her hand up
"I feel much better Clarke, that wasn't what I wanted to talk to you about..." Clarke sat herself down on a chair anxious at what she was about to hear "I know that Finn loves you-"
"Raven..."
"-No Clarke, let me finish. I know he loves me too but not the way I need to be loved, not the way I deserve to be loved. So... we kinda broke up"
"Raven... I'm sorry, I never intended to break you guys up, I mean I didn't even know you existed when it happened and I meant it when I said I don't love him"
"I know, I respect you Clarke and I thought that Finn was the only one I had but... I could really use a friend" Clarke instinctively grabbed her hand, she knew it was hard for someone as head strong as Raven to admit it but behind those brown eyes was hurt, Raven had come down to earth for the man she loves and it turns out he's in love with Clarke. Clarke instantly felt a guilty
"I'm here for you Raven, and I know you're here for me. It's hard down here on earth but we can help each other live through this crazy journey we're on and by the way, I think you could make friends easy. I have to go but I'll be back tomorrow to check up on your wounds, I'm guessing you won't be sleeping in Finns tent any more so when you get better you're free to stay with me" With that she let go of Ravens hand and walked out of the drop ship just hearing Ravens soft 'thank-you'
Octavia POV
"So where were you and Clarke?" She said sitting down beside her older brother he smirked
"O, she went outside camp without a gun, I couldn't let her go unprotected that's all" Luckily Octavia knew her brother better than that, she knew he hadn't had that attitude about anyone in camp, not even the number of girls leaving his tent, except Octavia herself. She saw the way Bellamy looked at Clarke, and even though he obviously didn't know it yet he was crazy about the Blonde bombshell.
"What ever you say Bell" As if on cue Octavia saw Clarke walking toward them
"We need more supplies, I need to go and get seaweed we're running low" Octavia watched as Bellamy nodded "Ok, I'll send some people out to get it" She leant back and watched the two interact, it was very interesting to see the reaction they had to each other. Clarke sighed
"Bellamy, I need to go get it you know that" Raymond walked passed and smiled at Octavia, she had made friends since she got here and knew it was important to keep these people close, especially after she'd said good bye to her grounder. She swallowed thinking of Lincoln and how much they'd shared but she knew she'd made the right choice. These were her people and it was time she started acting like it. Tuning back into the conversation she heard Bellamy sigh with frustration, she'd heard that noise every time he'd had an argument with Clarke and knew it was a good time to start listening
"Look, Bellamy you can't go, you have to look after things here, people are still on edge about the grounders one of us needs to be here, and I know it should be you, they look to you for strength and protection" Octavia was amazed at how Clarke was so good at explaining a situation, sometimes it was unnerving, but it was comforting to know that one of the leaders always used her brain, assessed things. Bellamy raked a hand through his hair, something he only did when he was frustrated
"Fine, go with Raymond, but be back in two hours or I'll come get you myself" Clarke nodded and Octavia watched her and Raymond leave camp, she knew she wasn't the only one watching, Of course Bellamy was, but so was Finn.
Bellamy POV
Bellamy shook his head, of course she argued with him, but unfortunately she was right, he did need to stay here. His head jerked to someone following them out, Finn. He felt his sister put a hand on his shoulder obviously noticing his quick reaction to seeing the guy leave and follow them
"It's alright Bell, at least he can be there for extra protection, they might even get back sooner then first thought" His sister knew him better then anyone here. Well everyone except Clarke, no one had ever seen him broken the way Clarke had the night Dax attacked them. Luckily and thankfully she hadn't mentioned it. Just offered her support. Which was exactly what he needed
"Alright. Let's get everyone back on track then will we?" Bellamy could tell that Octavia appreciated him giving her some of his power. He knew something had happened between her and her grounder but couldn't bring himself to talk to her about, she had made her choice.
Clarke POV
Clarke was amazed that Bellamy let her out of camp, She had to be the one to get the supplies they needed. She also noticed Raymond was extremely quiet
"Raymond, I don't bite you know" Raymond smirked at her words
"Is that right? I know you don't but Bellamy does" Clarke laughed despite herself, Raymnd was right but what did Bellamy have to do with any of this "Oh... no I thought you guys were like... you know?" This caused Clarke to laugh more
"Uh no we aren't-" They both stopped when they heard a twig snap behind them, with their guns raised Clarke felt a little safer "Come out..." She commanded not really trusting the strength in her voice, at the sight of Finn she dropped her gun down "What the fuck are you doing her Finn?" She couldn't help the curse leaving her lips but he was the last person she wanted to talk to right now. Especially knowing he wasn't with Raven, her feeling for him were fading, she still cared, but there wasn't any more of her that wanted him the way she had.
"I saw you leaving the grounds, had to make sure you were safe princess" The nickname sounded forced coming from his mouth, the only person she'd become accustomed to hearing that from was Bellamy. A small part of her wanted him to be the only person she ever heard it from.
"Don't call me that. And we're fine, Raymond has got my back" As soon as the words left her mouth she saw it, the arrow heading straight for them, it struck Raymond in the chest and before she could see if he was okay another arrow shot toward them, Finn pulled her to the ground
"No Finn we have to run, right now" But it was too late, they were surrounded by grounders, so many she felt a hand grip hers and out of instinct she squeezed back, a comforting warmth coming from the touch.
"Please, we didn't do anything, let me make she he's okay! Please!" She couldn't just let Raymond die.
"That's not necessary, he's dead" Shit, he was a good guy, one of there best hunters, now he was gone "Sorry we don't have time to get reacquainted but it's time to go" Anya, the voice was Anya, how could Clarke be so stupid? Obviously the grounder princess would be in charge of this. Clarke felt a sharp pain before her thoughts went quiet and the light faded from her vision.
Finn POV
He watched as the grounder princess.. what was her name? Anya... struck Clarke on the head knocking her out cold. She turned to Finn in a rage
"Look, just don't hurt her, please" Raven was right when she said he loved Clarke, he did. But he could see that she didn't love him. He would get her back, he had too
"Finn was it? If you come after her, we will kill you, and her. Tell that to your people, you come looking for her and you're all as good as dead. But if you stay away she'll be back to you in no time got that? Make sure you remember this because I will only say it one. I will not hesitate to kill her in the most painful, slow and horrible way possible. Stay away and we will have her back to you soon" Without time to answer he saw her hand rise up and everything turned black.
Bellamy POV
Where were they? They'd been gone for too long, something wasn't right.
Where were they? It had been hours since he'd sent Clarke and Raymond out on a trip Clarke insisted was essential for the well being of the campers. Of course he'd seen space-walker follow them and as much as he would've liked to tell Finn to back off there was too much to do at camp. So he would wait. He didn't have to wait long to see Finn sprint into camp, without Raymond... or his Princess. He sucked in a breath and waited
"Hurry up space-walker" Bellamy's impatience got the better of him
"She's gone, the grounders... she's with the grounders" Out of instinct Bellamy punched Finn in the face and went for another one when Octavia stood in his way
"This isn't his fault Bellamy!"
"You're right, it's mine, I shouldn't have let her go" Bellamy cursed himself for letting her go where she wasn't in his protection.
"They did say something before they knocked me out... They said she would be released soon but we can't attack them... or she's dead... we all are"
Should I keep going with this? Let me know! :)
