Chapter 10 Homecoming

Bellamy's POV

My head was pounding by the time that we came to on the other side of the ocean by the rover, I groaned and looked at Clarke she was sleeping peacefully but we had to get going we weren't safe here not when Allie knew where we were. I groaned as my bones cracked as I began to sat up, I looked over to see Jasper staring at me his eyes wide awake. It creeped me out he didn't even blink it was like he wasn't there and there at the same time. Maybe he was sleeping with his eyes open. I walked over to him and waved my hand in his face a few times and he blinked rapidly before his eyes focused and glared at me. "Its rude to wave you hand in someone's face when they are trying to sleep." I rolled my eyes at him he was creeping me out and I was the rude one I don't think that would be considered rude to someone else. "Well we need to get going so get up" I gave him a cautious look before turning back to Clarke and moving blond curls out of her face before lightly placing a kiss on her lip. Soft but cold she must have been freezing since the fire went out. Who knows how long that we were laying here in the cold and she could be sick. But slowly her eyes fluttered open and she looked at me dreamily for a moment before she noticed that we were sleeping on wet grass. She stood up and brushed the back of her pants off before walking off into the forest. I stood and followed her panic rising in my chest what if there were more out there. What if this time I truly did lose her for good, I reached Clarke's hand her fingertips brushing my palm and I held her in my grasp. Her head whipped around causing her curls to hit me in the face. "The hell do you think that you are doing." She rolled her eyes at me like I was the crazy one not thinking. "I have to pee Bell you can't just keep me here cause you think that there is something in the forest." She pulled her hand out of my grasp but I wasn't close to being done.

I took in a deep breath ready to rip her head off when I felt a hand on my chest and looked away from Clark to see that O was standing there this determined look on her face. "Sit talk to Lincoln about our next move while we go to the bathroom. Chill its not like a army of chipped soldiers are coming for us or anything." She giggled at her own joke and took Clarke and walked to the edge of the forest before turning into shadows and disappearing. I sighed this wouldn't end well I knew that for a fact. I walked over to Lincoln who was starting to wake up and started a fire, he already had it going by the time that I reached him. The red hot flames warmed our skin which was really needed, the cold air was getting more harsh and at this rate winter might be coming before we can even save anyone we have maybe 2 weeks will that be enough time to get our people unchipped as well as make it back to the camp and finish preparing. I felt my shoulders sag at the thought of this stupid fight and the fact that soon we would freeze to death. "You shouldn't do that get lost in your thoughts or think the worse a good leader thinks of ways to win." I laughed and looked at Lincoln and sighed "That is what I have Clarke for she does the thinking and I do the acting when she is wrong." He laughed at me and nodded his head before looking towards the forest and sighing. "Do you think that he is alive, Octavia asks me that question every night before we go to sleep since the whole thing at Polis it has been a week maybe two." I looked at him and I knew that there was this confused look on my face for a moment before it click. I shudder as the wind passed through me but I doubt that it had anything to do with the cold chill and everything to do with what I did to my father.

"I don't think that there is any way for him to be alive I mean I hope that he is but I aimed it perfectly to just barely miss his heart but seriously injure him at the same time I have a hard time believing that he could survive and that's not even the worse part. When I saw that dagger on Clarke I didn't really care if he did survive and that's what bugs me but I can't seem to feel bad. Clarke's my world the mother of my kid so I know what I did was right but to feel no remorse it makes me wonder." I felt a warm hand on my shoulder and looked up to see Lincoln sitting next to face was at peace almost like he had gone through the same thing once. "You did what you had to for her you should never feel remorse for saving someone that you love. Even if it means doing something truly evil. Your father took the chip to protect you and you stabbed him to protect Clarke. He will understand either in life or in death just don't tell Octavias you think that he is dead it doesn't go over well with her. My face still hurts from the last punch she gave me for saying it." I laughed a little bit and stared into the fire when I heard a blood curling scream. Then something that sounded like my name "BELLAMY!" I grabbed my gun and ran toward the forest. The trees passed me in green blurs and I moved toward the sound of someone screaming my name. But it sounded alien it wasn't Clarkes, and i am sure that it wasn't Octavia whoever was calling me sound almost awkward. I pushed through a large patch of trees and noticed Octavia and Clarke fighting off man clad in white fur, and large brandings on either side of his face. Ice nation, I sneered for a moment and notice that he wasn't trying to hurt them but they were trying to kill him. "Stop now!" He was only defending not attacking and I don't think that was because he couldn't but that he didn't want to. "He's not chipped and he not trying to attack you." Clarke was the first to stop and walk over to me and slapped me across the face "I'm going to chock that up to pregnancy hormones." She was fuming and glaring at me before looking at Octavia who was stalking towards me but stopped when I felt something at my back I'm sure that it was Lincoln.

Clarke glared at me before looking at te ice nation guy and it clicked when I looked at him "You the king of the ice nation, Lexa before she died told me that you were exiled but when you mother was killed she made you a king and took away your banishment. What the hell are you doing here? You should be up in the mountains ruling." I walked past Clarke but she grabbed onto my arm and pulled me back. Damn the girl had a lot of strength today. "He's a peeping tom we were peeing and we saw him hiding in a bush watching." I looked towards the ice nation king and he smiled sadly. "You're Bellamy leader of the sky people or at least one of them. Lexa right before the chipped soldiers killed her asked me to come find you in Polis and get you and your people out of there so you could find a way to fix this. Oh, and I have no interest in your women I was sleeping in the bush to hide from any enemies when I woke they were doing their business. I turned away but they seemed to think that I am trying to creep on them. There not even that good looking anyway and not this one she's fat." I tried not to laugh I really did but it was funny, to say the least, the shocked look on Clark's face made me laugh even more. But the laughter soon stopped when I felt a sharp pain in my groin and dropped to the ground and groaned in pain. I looked up to see Clark glaring at me as she gently put her leg back on the ground. I glared at her as she smiles at me and then at the ice king. "Roan? That was your name right Roan of Ice Nation." I rolled onto my back and started to get up as I looked at Clarke this triumph smile on her face. "You kicked me in the nuts really. What a child" She went to kick me again but I caught her foot and steady her by using my other arm to hold her up. I dropped her leg and turned back to Roan who seemed highly amused in all of this.

Roan smile slyly at me and I smiled back at him before turning to Lincoln and Jasper who had both joined me. I walked over to Roan and held out my hand, he looked down at me and then looked at my hand and I sighed and took it I realize that he had no interest in shaking my hand. "We arent chipped if that is what you are worried about. We have a camp it would be safer for us to talk there then to stand here out in the open where we could be picked off." He simply looked at me and then at Clarke and sighed before nodding his head and walking in the direction that we had run from, I let him walked ahead for a moment before turning to look at Lincoln. "Well what do you think? Ice nation they are the worse they can't be trusted and are ruthless and after what they did to Lexa's plaything are you sure that she sent him." I looked at Lincoln and let out a sight this was not what I wanted to deal with sometimes I find it hard to believe that I could lead with all the stress that comes with the job. "I think that he is here for his own reason what ever they are but I am sure of one thing that we are going to need him if we are to save our people before the approaching winter. Last time when it was just the 100 on the ground 20 people died from exposure what chance will we have if we are exhausted from fighting a war without any help." He simply nodded his head slowly like there was some unspoken problem that he couldn't bare to bring to my attention. I watched Roan walked over to his horse and look at us. I never seen a pure white horse like that it was amazing, I am sure that it blended in perfectly with the snow that was sure to come. I shook my head clearing my thoughts before climbing into the front of the jeep and letting the engine roar to life. I turned to look out of my window to see Roan waiting on me I rolled down the window and looked at him. "Are you going to be able to keep up." He laughed at me for a moment before looking at Clarke who was sitting in the passenger seat. "Lexa was right about you. You are funny." I smiled myself before pulling off.

The sky was bright with different shades of orange and yellow and splashes of pink by the time that we got to camp the sky was vibrant and the sun began to go down. It felt like an insult that something this beautiful could be going on when my whole world was coming down. I pulled up to the gates tearing my eyes away from the sky only to find that there were bodies laying in front of the gates and two guards pointing guns in my face. I got out of the car and looked at a few bodies lying behind the gate to thankfully none of them were my people but that didn't make any of this any better. I sighed and looked up to see Nate and John pulling back the trigger on their guns.I growled under my breath and looked them "If you don't get those guns out of my face I will acquire the both of you with my dagger you got that." I looked at them but they didn't seem any closer to putting their guns down. I growled and heard the clopping of hooves when I look to see that Roan was standing next to me or should I saw towering over me on his horse. I felt his shadow fall over my face and he glared at Miller and Murphy. "How do we know that you are who you say that you are what if you are chipped and we let you in and you try to kill us." I sighed under my breath and opened the car door and grabbed my gun off of Clarke's lap and looked at the two of them before training my aim on Miller. "I don't care what you think Miller in a minute I'm going to clip your ass and then John you are going to let me the hell in or I'm going to clip your dumbass too. I wouldn't take the chip not for anything." I looked at the two do them but they didn't seem convinced. Then I heard this noise that sounds like a dagger or blade being sharpened. Then a burning sensation in my leg that made me howl out in pain. I looked over to see a blade being stuck out of my leg and blood streaming down my pant leg. I growled and look at Roan who smiled at me "See if he were chipped then he wouldn't feel pain but I am pretty sure that he felt that didn't you leader of the sky people." I howled out in pain and cursed under my breath before pulling the dagger out and handing it back to him.

20 minutes later I was sitting in med bay looking around at what was left of the people from this camp. Well everyone but Raven she was in the chamber hall keeping an eye on the monitors. I would have to get her side of the story after I was done here. I look at each face in front of me but none more pisted off and confused then Clarke. I sighed and tried to look away but her gaze had a way of following me she was going to be pisted no matter what I did or say so there was no point in even speaking. I instead decided to look at Roan I need to know why Lexa thought to send him here. "King Roan I get that you have your own reservation for not wanting to trust us just yet but you stabbing me proves I'm not chipped. Why did Lexa send you here what was the point how did she think that you could help us." I looked at him and he sighed and looked at me and then at the others around us. He stopped when he laid eyes on Jasper and for a moment he hesitated like he wasn't sure if he should be here or not. "I will tell you but only if that one leaves the room if I have heard correctly he sided with mountain men and they killed my people Echo was held captive there I want him out of the room tell him later if you like but I will not have him in my presence." I sighed and looked at him and then at Jasper and then at Monty who looked more pisted off then Jasper. "Monty take him to the chamber hall and make sure that he stays there i don't want the two of you jeopardizing anything that might save us. Oh and try not to mess with Raven." I looked at Monty and his anger filled eyes stopped on me for a second before grabbing Jasper by the arm and forcing him to walk towards the meeting chamber and I turned my attention back to Roan.

He let out a sigh of relief letting his shoulders sag for a moment before he squared them and threw them back. "Well simply the flame is the only way that you can't shut down the computer program down right the one that is taking all of our people." I looked at him and nodded my head but that was beside the point it was impossible. "Not without Luna not without a night blood unless we have one to activate that flame that we won't be able to stop Allie." I turned it Clarke her voice was cold and calculating like it was when she decided to take the grounders out in a ring of fire. Roan smiled to himself like he knew what I was thinking and sighed "Yes well you know that's not true don't you Bellamy you saw her the night that you left Polis." I looked up from the ground and nodded my head "Some girl from the ice nation. She was helping convert the grounders by making her the commander. Only the flame keeper gave me the flame before she could get the chance to ascend and without it the girl won't be able to upgrade Allies program. Or that was what Raven told me at least." I looked at him and he nodded his head slowly for a moment thinking of something before he finally spoke. "Yes but you have a way of changing them back so use it on Ontari and then put the flame in her then you find out how to stop her and we will honor the deal that you made with Lexa after all you would be saving all of our people. Who could hate you after that?" I looked at the others they all seemed to be staring at me then their vision shifted to Clarke who was looking at the ground as well. Was that a thing that we did look at the ground when we were thinking or did I just not want to meet her anger filled gaze. I sighed and looked at Roan "The only problem is that she is a city full of chipped soldiers and we would have to make it to the top of tower and there is only one way to get there and that is also guard. It would be a suicide mission." I looked at Clarke and she nodded along with my logic but I don't think that she thought that I was right. "That's true but with the perfect plan all we would need to do was sneak in there like we sneaked out. The plan will need fine tuning but we should be able to get a plan that won't get us all killed. We just need to rest and think about it in the morning."

I sighed and shook my head no there was no way that would work "No matter what the plan, there are still chipped people in the forest and obviously they know that we are at camp you do see the dead bodies out of the gate. My guess is the moment that we start to move towards Polis they will converge on our point. Not amount of sleep or thinking will work around that. They let us get to the camp because that wouldn't hurt them in anyway which is why we were able to pass though. But the moment that we try to get close to Polis they will pounce." Clarke rolled her eyes at me and I could feel the tension growing in the air as my temper started to rise. Clarke is being impossible. "So then we deal with those in the forest and then move on to Polis." I laughed harshly at her "Yeah and how do you expect for us to sneak in if they know we are coming, they all see what one sees if we attack them then the others will know and our sneak attack will be pointless. You're being stupid and reckless no amount of thinking will fix this." I looked at her and she huffed out some air "Oh and what is your excuse acting like a coward any other enemy you would be charging head first ready to kill but now you seem to want to hang back." With that she stormed out of the room and I was stuck with looking at the others that were trying to avert gaze. I sighed and started to walk out but stop in the doorway "Meet in the chamber hall in the morning." I walked out of med bay into the open air my sweat drenched skin in the cold air forced me to shiver. But ignored it and I limped my way towards the chamber hall. I knew that Raven would still be there watching the camera. I sighed and stopped for a moment to look at the moon it was always my favorite part of the arc being so close to it. I looked down and walked toward the chamber hall my footsteps echoing through the halls and stopped at the monitoring room.

The door slowly crept open to reveal a sliver of light and Raven sitting in a chair looking at the perimeter. There were plenty of human heat signatures surrounding the camp on the most obvious roads to Polis. It almost looks like a blockade of people but off to the far right a path that leads to the dropship was unguarded. From there we could head to Polis but it would have to be a small team and I doubt that we would go unnoticed. I walked closer to the screen and looked down at Raven she was asleep, she was looking at the monitors when she slowly passed out. I still don't get how the chipped people got into the gates it seems like Miller and Murphy had it covered so how did a few get into the camp grounds. I shook my head slowly and lifted Raven out of the chair bridle style and walk out of the chamber hall and towards her cabin. It was in the opposite direction of mine but then again I couldn't leave her there she would be safer in her cabin. I walked in silence never taking my eyes off of the path that was until I smelled something rotting. I looked down to find the dead body of a grounder, a bullet in his head and his body rotting away. His skin was stipped from his bones and there was no muscle left like a wild dog got it. Maggots were crawling out of its eyes sockets and covering his bones they were picking them clean there were parts of the bone that were picked clean and white. The putrid smells of rotting flesh filled my nose it was all I could smell as I walked past the body towards Raven's cabin. I looked at the handle and then thought about the best way to push the door open. I shifted all of Ravens weight into my right arm and used my left to turned the knob and walk into the cabin. It was dark and I couldn't see anything and trying to stumble up the stairs wouldn't be good for me. I stumbled into the living room area and placed her on the couch before pulling a quilt up to her shoulders and sitting in the chair for a moment. When I heard a moaning sound and look over to see Raven's eyes slowly starting to open "

You carried me all the way here?" I looked at her and growled playfully "It's too bad that you didn't wake up before I carried your ass all the way here." She looked down at the couch and then over to the fire place and got out of the chair grabbing a few logs and throwing them into the fire before lighting it and sitting back down. The fire pit dimly lit the area I could just barely make out the rest of the furniture in the room. I looked over to Raven and the fire place casted a shadow over her face. She hid her face in the people and didn't bother to look up I thought about leaving but then decided it was about time I found out what the hell happened. "That dead grounder you killed him on your way home a couple nights ago right." I looked at her and she slowly lifted her head out of her pillow and sighed and nodded her head before looking at the fire place. This ominous feeling started to creep into the room and it was suffocating not knowing what she was going to say. But it felt like someone was going to creep out of the corner and kill the both of us. "Yeah I killed him there was a breach in the walls near the crops and I ran towards it hoping to seal it up. I found Monty passed out he couldn't even defend himself that was sad. I shot to more guys and grabbed him and drag him to med bay and worked with Miller to fix the breach while John watched our backs. Then I came back here and went to sleep." I nodded my head slowly for a moment and then looker at her face, for a moment it contorted in disgust when she mentioned Monty. "So you want to tell me what happened between the two of you." I look at eh and she scoffed and pulled the blanket over her head. "He thought that he could tell me how to feel so I said some stuff and shove him up against the wall. End of story."

I crouched over her and pulled the blanket and looked at hr chocolate brown eyes for a moment. "You hit like a girl by the way" I saw her smile in the dark before I got up and made my way to the door and sighed as I slid it open. "There is a meeting at the chamber hall tomorrow morning about our next move I expect you to be " I closed the door and made my way back to my cabin in complete silence there weren't any crickets or howls of wild beast. It was simply silent the only sound was the howl of the wind as it whipped through the trees. I had finally made it to the cabin door and the wind started to pick up more wild and then before. I tried to turn the knob but the there door wouldn't budge it wouldn't move. "Clarke open the door now," I yelled on top of my lung but with the wind, I doubt that she could hear me. I couldn't even hear me I could only feel the vibration in my throat. I hit the door and I am sure that she could at least hear that but she was simply going to ignore me. "Clarke I swear to god open this goddamn door" I just kept hitting it till my arm was burning and went numb from the pain. I switched arms but even then that one soon feel to my side like a useless lump of meat. My voice was getting hoarse from screaming when the door finally opened to reveal the warmth and a little light. I walked into and collapsed on the couch where there was a blanket and pillow ready. I heard the door slam shut and the lock being turned when I felt a showdown befall me as I stared into the fire. "Enjoy sleeping on the couch in fact you should be lucky that I even let you in the house." I look up to Clarke who was glaring at me for a moment before she walked back to the stairs and went to bed .She had some nerve she was going to leave me there to freeze and she was the one with the attitude if she didn't lock the door then I wouldn't have had to knock. I looked at the fire feeling the warmth from the couch and I slowly began to pass out. Hopefully I will dream something that is better what I have been living.
