Chapter 7

It's You

Clarke sits against the wall in her cell, waiting for any news about Bellamy and the others. She gets up and starts pacing, no longer able to sit and twiddle her thumbs. The cell door creaks open and her heart jumps. Clarke rushes over to the bars and grabs onto them, so she can get a better look. She hears footsteps coming down the corridor and she prays that it's Bellamy. Even though, her head is telling her that Drake's already probably sent them away, she still has hope it's him. She has to. The person comes into view and stops. Clarke can barely see the outline of their face in the dimness, but she knows it's not Bellamy. Her heart drops in disappointment. "You get ten minutes and that's it." Clarke hears the cell door open again and this time, several footsteps echo throughout the corridor. Her heart lifts at the sound and she hopes that it isn't another trick. That it's real. "Clarke." That voice makes her freeze and her heart accelerate all at the same time. Even though she's heard his voice over the radio recently, nothing compares to hearing it in person. "I'm over here, Bellamy." More footsteps echo and a silhouette quickly appears in front of her. Even if she can't see his face, she can make out his beautiful smile. The one that's always brightened her day and made her own heart lighter. "I told you, I'd try everything to get back to you." Clarke lets out a breath she didn't even know she's been holding. She tries to stifle the tears, but they start tearing up anyway. Clarke can't help it when it comes to him. "We don't have much time, but I'm glad your safe, Bellamy. I wish we could reunite properly, but this is what we've been given. I need you to promise me something, I need you to take care of Maddi." Clarke can see some light reflecting in his eyes and the tears gathering there. Being this close to him and not being able to touch him, makes her heart ache. It's different than talking to him on the radio because she knew there was no way she could see him. Now, she's seeing him right in front of her eyes and all that's separating them is a few meddle bars.

Clarke finds his hands on the bars and a warmth spreads around her heart. It's been so long since she's touched him, but the sensation from his touch is still the same. Electricity flowing through her body that completely consumes her. It used to scare her that he made her feel so much with one touch, but it doesn't now. "Bellamy…if I never make it out of here…" He shakes his head. "You'll make it." A silence follows and she knows that their time is almost up. She wants to tell him so many things, but there's only three words that come to mind in this moment. Three words that she should have said sooner. "I love you." Clarke tries to read Bellamy's features through the bars, but now, most of his face is hidden in the darkness. She wonders if she's said the wrong thing, even if it's been on her mind to tell him since he flew out of Earth's atmosphere in that rocket. The door down the corridor opens and her heart clenches. Bellamy's hands are still firmly gripping hers and she wishes that he'd say something. Anything, that she could hold onto. Footsteps can be heard down the corridor and Bellamy squeezes her hands gently. "I love you too, Princess. I'll figure out a way to get you out of here." The tears begin to flow down her cheeks, but she manages to give him a nod. Clarke can just make out his smile, as he hesitantly let's go of her hands. Leaving her feeling more incomplete without him than she had felt before. The head and the heart separated once again.

Bellamy is forced off the ship by some of Drake's goons. He was surprised when he had allowed them to go see Clarke. Bellamy figures that Drake must be planning to keep her prisoner for a while and the thought makes him even more determined to find a way to get her out of there. They make their way into the woods and Raven falls into step with him. "Are we heading to the island?" Bellamy nods at her words, enjoying the fresh air and sunshine you can only experience on Earth. "That's where we'll regroup and come up with a plan." Raven slaps him in the shoulder and he stops. He turns to face her and she gives him a smile. "So, you're just not going to talk about what happened back there?" Bellamy shakes his head, not wanting to get into this right now. "We've gotta move." He turns and starts to go forward, thanking whoever's listening that she's not pressing this. "Stop right there, Blake." Bellamy stops and sighs, as she catches up to him. "You're not getting away that easy. How was it finally telling Clarke how you feel?" He averts his eyes, wanting nothing more than to walk away and never talk about this. As far as he's concerned, whatever's happening between him and Clarke is their business. He knows this won't go over well with Raven, but it's how it has to be for now. Bellamy's eyes meet hers. "It's almost sundown, we need to get to the boat before dark, if we want to make it to the island." He starts walking away and Raven comes up beside him. "Whatever the hell is going on between you two, I'm happy for you." Bellamy can't help but smirk at her words. "We all are." He recognizes the voice to be Harper's and hope fills him once again. Bellamy knows that they'll be able to figure this all out together, one way or another.

Bellamy and the others reach the lab by dark. He cautiously leads the group inside, anticipating Maddi's upcoming attack. Bellamy knows that Clarke trained her well and he's not going to get blindsided. He tells the group to keep sharp, while he checks the second floor. Bellamy walks to the top of the stairs and his eyes scan the area. He feels something cold against his neck, that sends shivers down his spine. He turns and meets a young girl's eyes. She puts her gun down instantly and gives him a wide smile. "Bellamy." Bellamy nods and he can't help but smirk at the girl that Clarke's managed to raise on her own all these years. Even if she's not biologically her daughter, he can still see Clarke's influence on Maddi. She's confident in the presence of her enemies and strategic in her actions. He hadn't anticipated her position from behind or the confidence she had in placing that gun against his neck. Maddi definitely has what it takes to be a good leader. "Clarke okay?" Bellamy nods again. "Yeah, she's fine." Maddi's smile widens, as she closes the distance between them. "We get Clarke out?" He hears footsteps come up the stairs and the others join them.

Bellamy watches Maddi go around the group and get everyone's name right. Clarke must have told her stories about the 100 and their journey so far. About him. He walks over to Maddi, who meets his eyes. "I promise we'll save Clarke somehow." Maddi gives him a grin. "You her anchor." His breath catches at her words and she places her hand on his chest. "heart." It takes him back to their last goodbye before Primfya and his heart aches at the memory. "She's my head and my anchor too." Maddi nods at his words and he sets out to work on finding a way to rescue Clarke from the hell she's found herself in again. He's had enough of a break from saving his Princess and he's ready to bring her home.
