Xxxxxx Chapter Notes
So this chapter includes my first attempt at a fight scene (even though I am picturing it as more of a scrap then an actual fight), be warned a there be people dying.
I forgot to mention that Clarke gathered up the clothes Octavia took off so they are not just laying by the river where she jumped in.
And lastly, I realised the version of CH6 I uploaded was not the version I intended so that error has now been corrected, not much difference just an extra 200 words or so.
Xxxxxx Bellamy
Being on Earth initially only meant one thing to Bellamy and that was freedom. Freedom was something he had truly longed for. As far as Bellamy was Concerned, he had lost his freedom years ago on the day his half-sister was born, well that is if he ever had any freedom, to begin with.
Did anyone on the Ark?
But that didn't matter as he was no longer on the Ark, and the rules on Earth were whatever he wanted them to be. Now while the higher-ups of the Ark could no longer oppress him there was still Octavia, whom he was bound to via blood and promise. It was the promise he had made to his mother right before she was murdered that drove him to go searching for his missing sister.
Bellamy did love Octavia she was his baby sister, but she is his responsibility and in turn his shackle.
The group that was to make up the search party for the missing delinquents consisted of Bellamy himself, Murphy, John and Atom. Wells had tried to tag along but Bellamy sent him back to camp even if Bellamy didn't like the guy he had to admit he at least knew how to run things in a semi-efficient way.
They had left the dropship a few hours ago now following the same direction Octavia's group had left in a couple of days ago. So far the only thing they had found was a ditch for Murphy to fall down much to the amusement of the others.
"Pick up the pace, we have a lot of ground to cover," Bellamy said to the group.
"Yeah yeah" Murphy muttered, not all that apply about actually having to do some work. Bellamy shot Murphy a small glare.
'Come on Octavia where are you?' Bell thought to himself as he trudged through the forest.
"Hey Boss, maybe we should split up, cover more ground ya know?" Atom questioned from the back of the group.
"That's not necessarily a bad-"*SCREAM* Bellamy was cut off by a loud high pitch scream, he heisted for longer then he would care to admit, but as soon as he snapped out of his surprised he shot off in the directions the scream with the others quickly following behind him.
Xxxxxx Clarke
Having grown up as the daughter of one of the best doctors and later the head doctor on the arc Clarke thought she had become used to the sight of blood.
Turns out she was wrong.
Clarke stood their eyes wide at the sight of Jasper with a sword of all things poking Out of his chest. She could see Monty fall backwards in shock as he scrambled to get away from the bloody scene. All Clarke could hear was her blood pumping in her ears and the sound of someone screaming.
It wasn't until she was knocked over by a back-peddling Finn did she realise that it was her screaming. Finn had been backing up quickly as two more men had come out of the trees screaming at them brandishing shoddy blades at the now terrified group of teens.
It was jaspers body slumping to the floor after being pushed off the blade that had impaled him that caused Monty to move in an aggressive way in that he ran towards the man that had just stabbed his best friend, naturally, this was a bad idea as the man just backhanded Monty who sprawling to the floor.
The two other raggedy men approached Finn and Clarke at a quick run, but they slowed down as they got closer as sadistic smiles spread across their faces. Finn still on his feet started to move to the left in hopes of splitting the two up to at least give himself a chance. Thankfully it worked as one of the two followed him their grin widening.
Clarke still on the floor and still in a state of panic scrambled backwards along the floor until her back hit a tree at the edge of the clearing her knees coming up to her chest as she tried to make herself as small as the monstrous man approached her.
"shit shit shit" she muttered frantically while she tried to regain control of her rapid breathing. She looked up with wide eyes at the man who was now just a foot away from her, she took in a deep breath and screamed as he raised his sword to bring down on her. Clarke closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around her head waiting for the blow to come.
It never did.
Xxxxxx Bellamy
Bellamy was running faster than he ever had before, towards the sound of the scream he had heard earlier. He didn't know who had screamed nor did he know if he was being followed by those, he had brought with him.
When he arrived at the source of the scream he didn't have time to stop to think, he saw a man covered in rags raising his weapon against a terrified female form, so without thinking he tackled the man to the floor and prepared himself for a struggle. Bellamy and the man started to roll on the floor throwing punch after punch at each other, Bellamy was about to throw another punch at the man's head only to find he needn't worry as the man he had stopped moving. A quick check revealing that he had struck his head against a rather sharp looking rock that was on the floor.
"Bell-Bellamy?" came the quiet terrified voice of the girl.
"Clarke?" he asked surprised. He quickly moved off the body he was straddling to go offer her hand to help her to her feet, he was a bit woozy, but he could still move. Before he could ask where his sister was the shouts of the others drew their attention.
Finn was on the floor holding his left wrist, which was missing the hand, but the man he had attacked him was on the floor being kicked in by Murphy and John.
With the third ragged man, he had been impaled by his own sword which was in the grip of a shaking Monty with the bodies of Jasper and atom around them.
Clarke has a single thought as she rushes to try and help Finn stem the bleeding from his missing hand 'This isn't earth, this is hell'.
Clarke knelt next to the pale boy resting a hand on his shoulder quickly checking that there weren't any more wounds aside from the impromptu amputation. Thankfully she had dealt with a few traumatic injuries while on the ark, granted she was just an assistant and it wasn't a wound caused by a sword of all things but hey how different could it be.
The only spare supplies Clarke had was the bundle of clothes that had been Octavia's, well that would have to do she thought. The first thing she did was using the belt that was attached to the trousers to act as a tourniquet on the boy's bicep. She quickly followed this up by tearing strips out of the shirt, as that was the cleanest bit of cloth she had, to act as bandages although she may have overdone as by time, she had finished she had used pretty much all of the shirt. Seeing as that was the best she could do with her limited supplies at the minute she turned to see if there was anything else she could do for the others. Namely Jasper.
Bellamy watched as Clarke ran over to the boy who had lost his hand, 'Finn I think his name was' before getting his own bearings and moved over towards John and Murphy.
"Guys stop, he aint movin anymore" he shouted at them to get their attention. "take a moment then search them for anything of use."
"What why?" was Murphy's snappish response as he was breathing quickly in an effort to regain his breath.
"why do you think?" Bellamy rhetorically asked "we are apparently not alone down here and the neighbours don't appear friendly" at that Murphy gained a thoughtful nod before moving to do as asked. Bellamy turned towards John only to notice he had wandered off and was knelt next to Atom.
"he alive?" he called. John didn't respond with words just placed his fingers on his throat before slowly shaking his head in a negative. "shit."
Looking for Clarke again it was time for Bellamy to enquire the why his sister wasn't here.
"Clarke where is she, where is Octavia?"
Xxxxxx Naruto (left Naruto carrying Octavia as they such upstream of the river she had fallen in)
Octavia was surprisingly relaxed as she was held in the well-muscled arms of her saviour. 'What the hell am I doing? 'she thought to herself as she curled into his side and inhaled his woodland scent.
"I think we are near where you fell in?" came Naruto's voice, snapping Octavia out of her thoughts. She took a quick look around confused as she didn't recognise anything.
"How can you tell? I don't recognise anything" she asked giving voice to her confusion
"Assuming your friends came looking for you after you fell in the river it is likely that those tracks over there are from them" he stated.
"So we are going to follow the tracks?"
"Yes" was his simple response.
"Could you show me how?"
Xxxxxx Chapter End
Okay so not much of a fight, but then none of the delinquents are trained, and reapers are not exactly capable of thinking so it is not like they can fight with skill. Hopefully, I will be able to write a better fight scene when I get a fight with people who actually know how.
Next chapter I will be covering a bit more about what I am using the black blood for as you may have worked out it is not what it is in the show in this fic.
On a side note, I now know the effects of being stabbed in the chest and if this wasn't fiction it would be an almost certainty that Jasper would be dead, but hey ho I want him alive at the moment might change my mind later.
