Disclaimer: This is definitely one of the shorter chapters but it reveals a lot of information on what's yet to come so make sure you remember all of the conversations. Enjoy! Also I'm trying to update at least once a day or two.

Bellamy's POV

Bellamy releases a deep breath. It is exhausting trying to teach the ark's survivors the terrain. They would have never survived down here on the first drop ship, he thought.

"You need to prepare yourselves for the unexpected. Beyond this gate, you are not safe. Someone remind me what we do if there is any sign of acid fog?" Bellamy instructs. No one has an answer. Bellamy groans and rubs his head.

"You take shelter somewhere airtight. If there is no where for you to go, immediately lie on the ground and cover yourself with your acid fog tarp. Leave nothing exposed. Do not come out from your tarp until one of the commanders gives you the order to do so. And don't wander off. I can't count how many people we lost when they wandered off." He orders. He can see the fear in their eyes. Teaching people through fear is the only way he knows how to. That's how he became a leader.

He looks over his shoulder and sees Clarke sitting in a meadow with four grounder healers and Lexa. She laughs as she demonstrates on the oldest of the healers. They all are dumbfounded by her loving attitude. Bellamy turns back to his people cowering in fear and shakes his head. He does something he's never done before. He apologizes.

"I'm sorry. I just want to keep you safe. I've lost so much already…" He trails off. The arkers look around at each other before several get up and hug Bellamy. He relaxes and peers over their shoulders to look at Clarke. She watches him and smiles before returning to her work. Clarke has released his soft side and he secretly can't thank her enough for it.

Clarke's POV

Clarke is so caught up in her instruction that she forgets everything that has happened the past 24 hours. It's as though Finn isn't gone, her friends aren't in danger, and neither is she. She wishes that her mother could be helping her right now, but someone has to stay in medical, especially with all of the gun and spear training going on today.

Clarke asks for her student to continue to review how to turn reapers back to men. She then makes her way over to the river to get water. Lexa follows close behind. When Clarke notices she slows for Lexa to catch up.

"When this is all said and done, are we going to go back to loathing one another?" Clarke asks. She has been dying to know the answer all day. Lexa is stoic.

"Your people have done many unforgivable things," she pauses, "but depending on how this goes, maybe we can make something work." She explains. Clarke sighs in relief. "We would like to invite your people to a feast with us tonight at dusk." She says. Clarke smiles brightly. "Perfect! We will be there." She replies. She can't wait to tell Bellamy the good news. She takes a sip of water and hurries back to the training area. Before she can tell Bellamy, Lexa makes the announcement. Kane charges up to Clarke and pulls her aside.

"Look kid, I know i said you were a strong leader, but you're not in charge here anymore." He demands. Clarke growls. "Lexa approaches me. She views Bellamy and I as better leaders than you will ever be. You just got the job because law said so. Now that Jaha is here it isn't even yours to keep." She spits. He is taken aback. Bellamy notices the confrontation and joins in at Clarke's side.

"You can't make decisions like this. You have no authority." Kane seethes. Bellamy begins to lose his temper; Clarke can tell when he clenches his fists. She places her hand on his shoulder.

"Lexa seems to think Clarke is the best for the job." Bellamy retorts. Clarke notices that Bellamy doesn't include himself. She becomes concerned. "Bellamy as well." She chimes in but he looks at his feet. Kane gets closer to Clarke but Bellamy steps in front of her.

"One more of these stunts and you're both getting locked up." He threatens and stomps away. Clarke looks to Bellamy.

"We save the 47, and then we get out of here. Those are OUR people." She suggests. Bellamy is hesitant. "Don't say anything until this is over." She pleads. "They are your people Clarke. No one listens to me, unless I scare them…" He whispers. Clarke touches his face with her palm. "I can't lead them without you. I tried in mount weather and it didn't work. If it worked, they would have followed me out. We can't lead apart. We have to lead together." She replies. She notices no one is looking at them and gives Bellamy a quick kiss on the lips. He smiles into the kiss.

When she pulls away, she notices the sun beginning to set. "Time to feast!" She exclaims and they follow the crowd entering into the woods. She can tell they are going to the grounders village. Tonight will go down in history.

But Clarke doesn't realize, it might go down in history for the wrong reason.
