Welcome back to chapter 10. Amazing support as always, you guys are awesome. I hope you enjoy.
Octavia watched as everyone went all loopy and started to see things before grabbing a jacket. She climbed up the ladder to him. Lincoln's whole body ached and he craved sleep but feared if he did then they would kill him. He wondered what Lexa would do if they tried to kill him. Actually he knew the answer. Lexa was very protective over the people she cared about so if anyone hurt them then it wouldn't end up well for that person. Lincoln was lucky he was on that short list. He was pretty sure after Costia's death there was three people on that list; him, Anya and Gustus. But Lexa seemed to now care about Clarke which meant that she was also on that list.
Octavia closed the hatch behind herself. "Hey, we need to hurry. Lexa has got Bellamy out of camp." Octavia told him and started to undo the binding from his wrists and ankles. Lincoln winced in pain as he had to hold his own weight fully. He hunched over. Octavia put the jacket over him.
"Even with these clothes and your brother gone, I still won't be able to escape without being seen." Lincoln said straightening up. His ribs were still on fire.
Octavia smirked. "People are seeing a lot at the moment."
Lincoln understood what she was talking about. They had given them the berries. "I don't want you to get hurt for me."
"I'll be fine. Just don't get yourself killed." Lincoln was about to leave when he turned back to Octavia. He cupped her cheek as he brought their lips together. Octavia kissed him back. Lincoln broke the kiss and left the floor instantly.
Finn and Raven were looking after the camp due to the fact that all of them were on something. Raven was telling Connor that he was the most beautiful broomstick in the room of broomsticks. Finn saw someone exit the dropship to see the grounder. They stared at each other for a few seconds. Finn watched him go without saying a word. He didn't want more violence. Lincoln made his way out of camp and to where he was going to meet Lexa.
Bellamy was running from the 320 people that died on the Ark because of him. Because he broke the radio. They were screaming murder from behind him. Jaha had also been there. He had to leave. Then they all surrounded him. Jaha was in front of him. "Please just kill me. I don't want the pain anymore. I can't fight anymore. Just kill me." He tried to hand Jaha the gun.
Jaha slapped him across the face and knocked the gun from Bellamy's hand making it fall next to him. "You have to fight. You have a piece of them inside of you. You don't deserve that but your going to get it." Jaha kicked Bellamy again.
Dax stood in front of Bellamy pointing a gun at him. "Nothing personal." He said before trying to shoot Bellamy but his bullets were duds. Bellamy reached for his gun but it wasn't there.
"Dax, put the gun down." Clarke warned raising her gun at him. Lexa watched him with narrowed eyes. Her hand on the hilt of her sword.
"I really didn't want to you kill but he said no witnesses." Both girls saw he was about to shoot and darted behind a tree. Lexa slightly pushing Clarke away too. The bullet missed Clarke but it only just landed in Lexa's upper left arm. Bellamy took the opportunity to attack Dax from behind. Dax turned around just in time to smack Bellamy across the face with the gun. Clarke tried to attack him but gave herself away by shouting at Dax to get the hell of him. Dax punched Clarke in the face. Bellamy grabbed a sharp rock from the ground and used it to slice Dax's throat.
Lexa stood up to see the scene. Her arm was throbbing. She gripped it to put pressure on the wound. Clarke went over to Bellamy who was now leaning against a tree. Clarke noticed Lexa's wound and wanted to tend to it but Lexa motioned to Bellamy first. Clarke nodded understanding. "You're okay." Clarke told him.
"No, I'm not. My mother would hate me if she knew who I was, she raised me to be better."
"Bellamy-" Clarke started but was cut off.
"All I do is hurt people. I'm a monster."
"That's not true. I need you, we all need you. None of us would have survived down here without you. You want forgiveness, you can have it but you can't run, Bellamy. You have to come back with me, you have to face it."
"Like you faced your mom?"
"Your right, I don't want to face my mom. All I think about all day is how we are going to survive."
"Jaha will kill me when he comes down." Bellamy stated.
"We'll figure something out."
"Can we figure it out later?"
Clarke nodded. "Whenever your ready." Bellamy then closed his eyes and leaned further back into the tree. Clarke stood up and moved over to Lexa who was looking into the forest, deep in thought. She looked over the wound and sighed in relief seeing that the bullet went straight through. She couldn't see a lot of the scene around the wound but it seemed that Lexa would make a full recovery. "The bullet went straight through." Clarke told her. She removed some bandaging from her pack and wrapped it around Lexa's arm. Clarke noticed the liquid coming from Lexa's bullet wound was black, was that her blood? Clarke was sure no one's blood was black so she just guessed that it was just an effect of the berries. She looked up back at Lexa's face and gratefully smiled at her. "Thank you for saving my life."
"You would have survived, Clarke, even if I didn't push you out of the way."
"You could've died. Why did you do it?"
Lexa gave Clarke a smile. "Because I feel something for you and I don't want to let my own stubbornness wreck that." Lexa kissed Clarke lightly on the lips. Clarke smiled into the kiss.
Once they broke apart Clarke raised an eyebrow at Lexa. "What changed your mind?"
"Someone important to me told me that I can have the things I want." Clarke looked confused. She had been with Lexa all day. "She's dead but I hallucinated her."
"Who?"
Lexa wanted to lie but she didn't. "Her name was Costia. Her death was the reasons I left my clan after the Azgeda killed her. She died because they wanted to know my secrets, because she was mine. Then after they killed her, they sent me her head. I didn't feel like I could lead after that, I didn't feel like I was good enough to protect my people when I couldn't her." Lexa explained and Clarke saw the sadness in Lexa's eyes. They were clouded with it. Clarke pulled Lexa into a hug. Lexa hugged her back instantly. Lexa enjoyed the comfort of the hug, after she started to train she wasn't shown affection. It was to make her stronger but Clarke was so different. She wore her heart on her sleeve, gave affection so easily. She still had that innocence which Lexa had been stripped of at such a young age. Clarke was different and Lexa found that so fascinating. "I should go."
Clarke nodded. They reluctantly pulled out of the hug, missing the warmth of each other's bodies in this cold night air. "Lexa, I feel something for you too." Lexa gave Clarke another smile before leaving towards the cave to meet Lincoln. Clarke watched her go.
Clarke and Bellamy arrived back to the camp to see everyone shouting about the grounder escaping and about how he might bring more back with him. "Let the grounders come." Everyone turned and looked at Bellamy with wide eyes. Most thought he was crazy. "We don't need to be scared of their spears and knives anymore." Both him and Clarke shared a nod before revealing the guns.
"These aren't toys and we have to be willing to hand them over to the guard when they come down but until then they're going to keep us safe." Clarke told them all. Most nodded understanding.
"And there are plenty more where that came from. Tomorrow we start training and if the grounders come. They better be ready for a fight."
Bellamy went over to Octavia after everyone had went their separate ways. He told Clarke that he would talk to Jaha after all. Octavia was leaning against gate looking at the stars. He put a blanket over her. "I don't expect you to forgive me but you'll have to live with me." Octavia looked at him quickly before back at the stars. Clarke called him over to tell him that Jaha was ready. "That grounder escaping, did it have anything to do with you?"
Both of them knew the truth but Octavia still lied. "Nothing to do with me." Bellamy accepted the lie and walked towards Clarke.
Jaha said "Mr. Blake." As Bellamy and Clarke sat down in front of the screen. "I've wanted to talk to you for a while now."
"Before you do, I'd like to say something. When you sent us down here, you sent us to die but miraculously most of us are still alive. In large part that is because of Bellamy. He's one of us and he deserves to be pardoned of his crimes like the rest of us." Clarke told Jaha, Bellamy gave her a thankful look.
"Clarke, I value your point of view but it's not that simple."
Bellamy jumped in. "It is if you want to know who on the Ark wants you dead."
Jaha leaned forward. "Bellamy Blake, you're pardoned. Now tell me who gave you the gun." And Bellamy told him. Jaha ordered Kane to arrest the man who wanted to kill him.
Lexa arrived at the cave to see Lincoln inside of it rubbing a paste onto one of his wounds. His face was clean and so was his abdomen. He gave Lexa a small nod when he saw her. Lexa picked up another bandage for Lincoln's ribs. She handed it to him. "How do you feel?" Lexa asked him.
"In pain but it is becoming more bearable." Lincoln noticed Lexa's left arm was bandaged up. "What happened to your arm?"
"I got shot." Lincoln nodded at her, he decided not to ask questions due to the fact Lexa's face told him not to. He guessed both of them had a long night. "Have Nyko look at you when you get back to our village." Lincoln grinned when she said our village. "What?"
"Our village?"
Lexa nodded. "Our village, Lincoln. I want to be the Commander again."
Lincoln gave her a brighter smile. "What changed your mind?"
"Costia telling me I'm a stubborn ass." Lincoln laughed and understood what she was saying because Lexa could be just a little bit stubborn.
"I'll go get Anya immediately." Lincoln said putting his normal clothing back on. Lexa nodded in agreement. She would have to talk to Anya about it first and Lincoln was a very trustworthy source when it came to Lexa. Both her and Anya trusted him, they had both known him for a very long time. His first was Anya's late older brother, Titus. So they normally trained a lot together.
Lexa pulled Lincoln up. "Tell Anya to come alone and to meet me here at first light. Have you got that, Lincoln?"
Lincoln nodded. "Sha, Heda." Lincoln her walking out of the cave. Lexa smiled to herself, she felt happy. She was going to finally go home and had finally told Clarke about what she was feeling.
So Lexa wants to be the Commander again! I'm going to be diving into what I think how Lexa proved she was the Commander in a few chapters. Also I brought in that whole black blood which Lexa seems to have, of course Clarke wrote it off as nothing just like she was seeing things again seeing as I have no idea what that means. Also next chapter Lexa and Anya get to interact which will be fun to right how we don't really know much about them from the show seeing as how they killed off Anya. Lexa and Octavia's mission to have Lincoln safe and sound was a success, sorta Finn saw like he did in the show.
By the way Clarke and Lexa, more Lexa, are finally over skating around their obvious feelings for each other. Lexa took a bullet for Clarke and tried to be all humble about it. Lexa explained Costia and why she left to Clarke.
I hope you enjoyed. If you did please follow, fav and review. If you have any questions or ideas please ask me with a PM or a review. All with be answered without big spoilers and the ideas will be taken into consideration. See you in Chapter 11!
