A little more about this: Basically a Bellarke story where Bellamy/Octavia are grounders instead of coming down on the ark! Everything else is the same, and we'll see how this affects the story! This will mainly be from Clarke's POV starting from the episode Unity Day of season 1! Got the idea off of the amazing IGetLostInWords and here is the link to their story: s/11814175/1/This-Union
I walked through the forest towards our meeting spot, today was Unity Day for my mom and the rest of the people on the Ark, but not for me. Today was the day that I am going to meet Anya, a leader of the Grounders to try to make a treaty to stop the impending war. Finn had practically begged me not to do this, but I knew better I knew we couldn't go to war with the grounders. We would lose.
Although for my own protection I'm having Raven, Octavia, and Miller standing on the sides in case things get out of hand. I glanced up, the bridge was very close now. "Stay back here". I said to the three and they all nodded. I continued to walk heading to the center of the bridge. The grounders came out of the shadows now. Anya was in the center walking, with two grounders on both of her sides.
She approached me and I stuck out my hand for a shake. She just completely ignored my hand, so I hesitated and put it back to my side. A handshake probably isn't a custom anymore. "I don't want war Anya." I stated smoothly to start the conversation.
"You should have thought of that before you slaughtered my warriors" Anya replied her voice came out strained and it was a little terrifying.
"Your people attacked mine. But, I am willing to put the past behind us. As the current leader of the 'sky people' I am willing to do what I must in order to keep the peace" I stated looking into the grounder's eyes. I felt uncomfortable, and I knew that these three grounders weren't the only ones here.
Anya smirked a little, but it sent a shiver down my spine. "Well, there is something you can do Clarke. Your guns take out a lot of my men, but if we were going to war we would overpower you soon enough. I do not see the point for the unnecessary bloodshed and my commander agrees" Anya said and paused. She looked to her left and then back at me. "I have talked to the commander and we are willing to make you one offer. This will be your only chance at peace, and I will only offer it to you this once." Anya said coldly.
"I would like to add your camp to the commander's army. We would have to unite us though. As their leader you need to be the one to set the example. That is why I propose that you marry Bellamy. He is my second-in-command and to my right." Anya stated. The grounder took off his mask.
I was completely dumbfounded. Married? She wanted me to get married to some strange grounder? Although she made it clear that this would be my only chance for peace, and I have to do what's right for my people. I looked to the grounder. He was extraordinarily tan and surprisingly very good looking. He had freckles splashed on his face with dark eyes, and black hair.
"I'll do it."
