Chapter 8 Uninvited Guest
Clarke POV
I walked through empty valley looking at the abandoned cabins and the cold fall air rustled the trees shaking the falling leaves causing them to float in the air. I looked around but there was nothing living in this camp and it truly did break my heart to see a camp we worked too hard to create was dismantled not physically but it might as well have. I sighed and walked into the chamber hall looking for something anything that proved that we weren't going crazy that there were once people that lived here. I heard something that sounded like music and walked towards it when I heard a sound and looked to see Monty looking at me. "Clarke are you okay?" I look at him and nodded my head before taking my gun out of my holister and walking closer to it. I turn around to see that there were gas cans being shot at me and I held my breath pretend to collapse to the ground the only thing I heard was my own heartbeat as the man came near me.I ripped his mask off his shock getting a good look at him before running out of the chamber hall and towards Bellamy. I ran across the clearing until I found him at the armory cabin and wrapped my arms around his neck hiding my face in his shoulder. "Thank god you are okay this makes so much sense on why everyone is missing. Why Miller and Murphy weren't answering the walkie." I looked up at him and he seemed confused "Clarke what is wrong you aren't making any sense and you are starting to scare me is it the baby or something else. Speak slowly your words were all jumbled together a minute ago." I looked at him how could he be so calm at a moment like this the chipped army could come back at any minute and now we have that psycho to deal with to.
I pulled away from him and took a deep breath before opening my eyes and looking at him "Me and Monty were walking the hallways and Emerson pepper gassed us when I ripped off the mask I got a good look at him. I know for a fact that it was Emerson and I think that he took the others. I think that he took O." I watched Bellamy's dark brown eyes grow frantic for a moment before he took his radio off of his belt. "Raven, Sinclair lock down the hanger Emerson is here and he's trying to kill us. O, Lincoln, Jasper answer the goddamn radio." Bellamy kissed me on the forehead and walked in into the armory and grabbed an assault rifle and a sword before looking at me. "Barricade yourself in the shed and stay there you got me." I sneered at him and held up my gun "You are not abandoning me where you go I go, where you lead I lead if you kill I kill that was your vow to me you don't get to go back on it just because I'm pregnant and we are in danger." I shoved passed him and ran towards the garage my legs were exhausted and burning I had been running all day but I had to keep going. I ran into the garage and saw that Sinclair was bleeding out on the floor and Raven was gone. Bellamy was searching the place making sure that there was no one else in here before he let his guard down. "My guess he was trying to protect Rave and Emerson killed him." I looked at Bellamy his curly brown hair blocking the view of his eyes and his body language told me nothing. I closed his eyes and walked over to him and grab the walkie off of his belt. I sighed and steady my heart "Carl Emerson let them go"I heard nothing but snow for what felt like ages when I finally got a reply. "Meet me at the room you saw me last time I was here and only you." I looked at Bellamy and his eyes flashed me a warning that I was going to ignore. "On my way asshole."
I turned off the walkie and handed it to Bellamy and he growled low at me "You're not going there I already lost my father to that chip and there is a chance that he already killed O and Lincoln I don't want to lose you too. You're not going there alone." Why did he have to be the overbearing husband at this exact moment? I sighed and kissed him on his cheek and he held me tight in his embrace looking at something before letting go ever so slightly. I sighed and followed his line of sight. "The air duct we could use it I will get perched and shoot him the moment that I get a shot you just need to distract him." I looked at Bellamy as he started to climb into the air duct and I couldn't help but smile. That was my man with the plan I blew him a kiss right before he disappeared into the air duct. I took a moment to compose myself I was a leader of this camp and I wouldn't let any more of my people get hurt. I summoned all the anger I felt when mount weather took my friend and I started to march off to the airlock. My footsteps echoed in the hall as I made my way to the air lock only to find that Lincoln was fighting against some strains a wild anger in his eyes as Emerson held a knife to her throat. "I'm going to kill you do you hear me I will make you regret the day that you were even born." I glared at Emerson's as he sliced a part of Os neck to prove that he meant business but that only pisted him off more. I sighed and watched as Lincoln wrist started to bleed he was fighting so hard and that only made Emerson want to kill her more. I had to think quick or she would be dead before Bell was in place.
"You're a hypocrite do you know that you hate us for killing your people yet you went out of your way to kill us. You kidnap us all in the hopes that you could survive the ground. What did you think was going to we wouldn't bother to come after our people that we would be okay with you killing us for our bone marrow. Your people were pathic and monstrous they got what they had coming to them. My only regret was that I didn't kill them the first day that I woke up there." It wasn't a lie there was part of me that meant every word that I said. Emerson looked at me and I decided to keep going. "I mean sure the kids should have been sprayed but what if we killed the rest of you and they grew up and tried to do the same thing that is if they even survived. Haven't you ever heard of the term self-preservation asshole? You expected us to do nothing so that you could kill us to get to the ground. You do realize that the minute you got to the ground either the grounders would have killed you or we would have. You should have died with them you deserved it." I look at him and he walked away from Octavia and stood right in the front of a vent cover that I hope Bellamy was hiding in. He glared at me hatred burning in his eyes brighter than before. "What did you expect us to live the rest of our lives on that mountain. We couldn't live like that." I scoffed at him and turn my head away for a moment "Hey dumbass if we and the grounders have the same mutation why didn't you take their bone marrow instead of you could have been on the ground faster you idiot." I glared at him and his eyes widen in shock for a moment before turning into pure loathing. "You have no idea what is it like to be locked up." I laughed really that had to be the dumbest thing that I heard "I was locked up in a flying tin can for years and then I was actually locked up in a cell you can suck the biggest of dicks you have only yourself to blame and now you are going to join your family." He scoffed and me and made a move to come closer but I heard the ringing of the shot as the back of Emerson's head exploded.
I sighed and ran over to O covering up her wound before cutting her loose and then the rest of my friends. I watched as Lincoln pulled Octavia into his arms and the sniffling Raven who looked heartbroken. I felt someone brush past me and Bellamy pulled her into a hug and stroked her head affectingly. "I'm sorry Raven if we had gotten there in time then none of that would have happened." I looked at him had Raven cried into his shoulder for what felt like hours before they broke apart and we walked out into the clearing to send Sinclair off. Lincoln and Bellamy carried the body to the fire even though Raven clung to Bells side she when he talked some sense into her and she let go. But once the pyre was lit her tears streamed down her face and she cried and begged him to come back but there was no way he would be getting back up. Raven cried and screamed and Bellamy tried his best to calm her down but she only punched his chest with a large amount of force. "You don't understand he was my father." We all stared in shock as Raven said that and Bellamy simply pulled her closer and let her cry into her chest "Trust me I know better than anyone what it is like to lose a parent maybe even two." He said it low but I hear it and I wasn't the only one, Octavia had to look away to hide her tears from the unspoken fear the Blake siblings had. That their father could or most likely was dead. I sighed and watched as eventually Raven calmed down enough to be let go and she simply stood by the pyre as the flames went out leaving nothing but ash. The wind blew an icy chill into all of us winter would be coming soon. "Alright we will head to the cabins for the night and start out in the morning we would be no use in a cold like this. Me, Clarke, Lincoln and Octavia will go to her rig first thing in the morning. But the rest of you will try to find another fix for the computer program that threatened all of our lives." Bellamy's voice was cold but reassuring we all knew what we had to do if we wanted to survive come winter.
With that, we all disband and I grabbed Bellamy arm as the two of us walked back to your cabin with Lincoln and Octavia next to us. I sighed and look at Bellamy his face was impassive which meant that he was trying to hide something and I didn't like that. I looked at Octavia she seemed to notice it to even Lincoln was looking at Bellamy. "Would the three of you stop staring at me it's rude." I looked at him as he looked down at me and for a moment I saw it the pain in his eyes, it wasn't an emotional pain but physical one. "You okay?" He sighed and looked at Octavia who had said it but I still didn't get it could he had been hurt climbing through the vents or was it. "Raven I think that she broke a few ribs when she was hitting me. I heard a cracking sound but I wasn't going to hurt her just to get her to stop." I looked at him and sighed and nodded my head before laying eyes on my cabin. I walked to the front door and got the med kit as O and Lincoln sat in the living and talked to Bellamy. "You two staying here" They looked at each other and nodded their heads at the same time before looking at me and smiled before walking off to their room in our cabin. I looked at Bellamy and he took off his shirt as I saw a large purple spot and sighed I reached my hands towards his ribs but he backed away for a second I guess my hands were cold because goosebumps were forming on his skin. I wrapped the pressure bandage around him and sighed "You broke three ribs on the left side and 5 on the right you should be lucky that it wasn't worse. Next time pin her arms to her side." He looked at me warily and I smiled at him "What you do it to me all the time when you don't want me leaving marks on your back." I sighed and he laughed and we walked up to the bedroom and I collapsed on my bed this was the first time that I was off of my feet for a good while.
I turn it see Bellamy getting underdress before he collapsed on the bed and I tried not to lay on his chest. Instead, I snuggled to his side and look at the ceiling he managed to place stars on the ceiling because I used to complain that I like to see the stars when I couldn't sleep at night. He was so sweet when he wanted to be. I snuggle closer trying to steal his warmth when he pushed me away and then scooted further into the bed. "You're pushing me off the princess." I smiled at him and pouted a bit as I snuggled close into his side "I thought that I was your queen." I felt the rumble in his chest as he laughs. "You are my queen but I love the sound of princess it suits you." I smiled and kissed him gently before drifting off to sleep. The last thing that I saw was Bellamy looking at a photo of him, O and his father from when they were still on the arc.
