Chapter 1

The 100 the cure

A year ago as the plague of the infected begun to truly overtake the world Clarke and Bellamy met they were both part of the government's effort to find a solution but now they are alone both of them the guardians of what might very well be humanity's last hope.

1 year 5 months 4 days ago

Clarke nervously taped her fingers on the meeting room table as she stared at prison guards at the door to the room who had already told her they didn't know anything about half an hour ago now judging from the clock. They had dragged her out of her cell only saying they had been told to do so and to put her in a meeting room. Biting her tong she looked out the small window in the meeting room wondering how long this was going to take, at this point the waiting and the not knowing was kind of worse than whatever might be about to happen.

Turning back to the guards she opened her mouth to ask if they had any idea how much longer this was going to take but just then the door opened. The warden of all people walked through it 'in here gentlemen,' he said politely then two men followed him in one who was older in a dress milter uniform with a slightly unkempt beard. The other was younger dressed in what looked like black riot gear. He looked to have a rather muscular frame and with his dark eyes black hair and dark freckled skin she couldn't supress a slight smile as she looked at him. It wasn't like there weren't girls in the prison who were fun to look at for her, there were but it had been a why'll since she had seen a boy worth a second look.

'Clarke griffin,' the older man said formally seating down in front of her taking some papers out of the satchel he was holding and laying them down on the table.

'Yes,' Clarke said politely nodding turning to face him now.

'Good,' he nodded. 'Just to check you were doing stuff like bio chemistry at university before you ended up here,' he said gesturing with his hand at the room.

'Yes,' Clarke said slowly 'why does that?'

'Your sentence has been commuted under the condition you now work for the government,' the man said cutting across her pushing the papers forward so she could see them.

'Seriously after what I did, just like that,' Clarke said looking down at the papers that confirmed what the man had said. 'Wait a minute she said seeing the signature at the bottom that isn't the.'

'Yes,' the man nodded 'the president has commuted a lot of sentences Clarke; we have a pretty serious skills shortage.'

'O,' Clarke said realising what this was about now 'are things really that bad.'

'There worse,' the man said seriously taking a pen out of his pocket. 'Please sign,' he asked placing the pen in front her 'and then you help you country.'

'You can get out of this place Clarke if you do,' the warden said encouragingly 'sounds like a pretty good deal to me.'

Clarke smiled at all this 'you've got me guys,' she said picking up the pen and signing the document.

'Fantastic thank you Clarke,' the man said standing up turning to the younger man standing behind him. 'Bellamy,' he said politely 'take Clarke here out to the helicopter please, I be along in a minute once I've seen to the last of the paper work.'

'Helicopter,' Clarke said bemused standing up.

'Yes sir' the man apparently called Bellamy nodded speaking over her.

'So just like that you're letting me out of this place,' Clarke said feeling slightly taken a back.

'We can stop by your cell if you want,' Bellamy smiled politely turning to face her 'get anything you want to take with you.'

Clarke stared at her wrist and her father's watch there, thinking besides this there wasn't anything really in this whole prison she couldn't live without. 'No I'm fine,' she said resigned to this fact after several minutes 'let's go.'

'Come on then,' Bellamy nodded as she stepped forward backing away to let her pass by him gesturing with one arm.

'Bye you two,' the older man said following the warden out of another door 'I'll be along soon.'

Clarke watched him go but then walked out the door he and Bellamy had come through with Bellamy following close behind her. 'Tell me,' she asked looking behind her after a few minutes 'do you know why they came to get me of all people surly there must be overs they can get.'

'Clarke their getting a lot of people out of prison today,' Bellamy sighed. 'Also from what I can see they really aren't lying when they say they have a skills shortage, and even if they are,' he added smiling now 'I'm a grunt a glorified security guard there not going to tell me anything.'

Clarke couldn't suppress a smile at Bellamy's frankness she wasn't sure who this guy was but she already liked him. 'You know Bellamy' she sniggered 'I think this could be the begging a wonderful friendship'.

Sniggering himself at this Bellamy lead Clarke through a door to the outside of the prison and the waiting helicopter 'here's looking at you kid,' he laughed as he led her towards it.

Present day

Slowly Clarke realised that the sun she was seeing in her dream memory of when she had first met Bellamy she could also feel on her face. Opening her eyes slowly she looked up at the sun that was beating down on her through the back window of the rover, yourning she pushed some of her hair out of her face its blond colour was almost glistening in the sun and moved up slowly feeling her muscles cry out as she did so. They had some blankets sleeping bags and pillows but unfortunately there was only so much you could do with the kind of hard metal that made up the back of the rover to make it palatable for sleeping. Cracking her neck Clarke look besides her seeing only an unzipped sleeping back she turned around immediately her hart begging to beat fast.

But the driver's side seat where Bellamy so often slept was empty as well with only a blanket dropped over half the seat. 'Madi,' she called acting on instinct now pushing through the rovers back doors but the instant she did so she saw both Madi and Bellamy standing a short distance away from where they had parked the rover the night before. 'You idiot,' she said under her breath scolding herself they probably just wanted to let you sleep. Sighing Clarke sat down in the rover her bare legs dangling outside of the vehicle unlike Bellamy she had always found it difficult to sleep in that much clothing. Feeling firstly now she started to look around for some water.

Finding a bottle she opened it and took a large gulp looking around the desert stretch of road and the rolling green fields surrounding it, she was glad they had decided to park up for the night here it was pretty. Smiling her eyes crossed over to Bellamy and Madi the sight of them together made her smile in spite of everything that had happened the three of them seemed good.

'OK,' Bellamy whispered in to Madi's ear his arm rapped around her as he kneeled down behind her 'a little higher.'

'Like this,' she asked her voice shaking slightly razing the rifle he was helping her to hold up slightly.

'Yea I think you've got it,' Bellamy smiled eyeing the target that was lumbering towards them through the field moving slower because of the mud. 'Keep hold of it like I showed you then fire,' he said releasing his grip slightly not wanting to help her do this too much. Taking a deep breath in Madi pulled the trigger sending the built flying and her self-shooting backwards where she was court by a waiting Bellamy. She was disappointed she had lost her footing but the built found its mark impacting the left eye of the infected and sending black gowe spraying everywhere as it fell to the ground.

Look I know that was kind of short but I wanted it to be like the first few opening minutes of the first episode of walking dead hope you if enjoyed it however please review I would like to hear what people thought.
