Clarke POV

Clarke remained motionless trying to keep her emotions in check, she refused to look shocked in front of Trevor, surprise was weakness and on earth and weakness was death. She was kidding herself if she was going to let someone as minuscule as Trevor take her to her grave. For she'd faced far worse then the man standing in front of her. For a moment she let her thoughts stray from death to the person who'd locked her up, once again it was her mother. Her mother, who was suddenly the leader of the 'mountain men'. Her mother, who was doing everything possible to keep her from the calm life she could've had in Caroline's village, Her mother who was keeping her from a group of delinquents who were relying on her leadership. How could a woman that seemed so eager to repair broken relationship do this to her own daughter? And what about Bellamy. She didn't even know where she stood with him. There was no denying the feelings she held for him but first and for most he was her co-leader. Sure, they challenged and questioned each other, but it was all for the good of the group. To keep them alive.

The sound of fingers snapping in front of her face quickly brought her back to reality

"Hello? Anyone in there?" Clarke glared daggers at the man who quickly retreated his hand from her face.

"Keep your filthy hands away from me before I brake them off" She said.

"You think you're so smart but a smart person would realise that you have no power in this situation Clarke, it's time you appreciated that"

"It's time you realise that you're a bastard, and I'll never back down to someone as weak as you. Do you even know what I've encountered in my time on the this earth? You're nothing compared to the obstacles I've faced. Actually come to think of it, you're less than nothing Trevor, it's time you appreciated that" He opened his mouth to say something when the sound of a voice rang loud and clear through his top grade walkie-talkie, she'd only seen something this advanced on the Ark, even then the supply was only limited to council members and of course the chancellor. Before Clarke could stray to think of what had come of chancellor Jaha, she recognised the voice, a scowl immediately appearing on her face

"Trevor, is she awake?"

"Yes Mrs President, she's fine" Clarke's head snapped to the walkie-talkie, did Trevor just call her Mrs President?

"I told you not to call me that Trevor, Abby is just fine. Bring my daughter to me" Clarke recognised how strong and in demand her mum sounded. Like she had everything in control. Clearly she wasn't aware of how much Clarke had changed, what earth had done to her 'prim princess' For a moment Clarke let herself get lost in the irony. She'd been so annoyed when Bellamy had called her princess but he was right. That's what she was. Now, she was a warrior, a leader, a survivor.

"You heard her. Let's go" Clarke let out a humourless laugh in response to his words

"And what makes you think I'm going to listen to anything you have to say?" She spat at him assessing her options. Looking to his belt which clearly held the keys to the room, and several other keys for that matter. The man simply raised an eyebrow at the girl

"What? Don't want to be re-united with Mummy? Trouble in paradise?" The man said getting so close Clarke could smell his minty fresh breath

"Back off, I'm not above hitting a woman" She said, smirking as she saw the look on his face turn from amusement to annoyance, his lifted his to hand to hit her but before he could strike her she hit him in the stomach

"I'm ready to go see my mother now" She says with defiance, waiting for him to pick himself up off the floor. As soon as he was on his feet she pushed him forward "Lead the way Trevor" He shook his head but didn't look back at her leading her through hallways and hallways until finally they came to a large door. Before Trevor need knock a large burly man opened the door letting them through. He smiled at her, the smile seemed kind and genuine

"Welcome Clarke, it's nice to finally meet you" Clarke smiled back at him, only it was cold, calculating. She was ready to attack, to take any weapons and get out of their. Only she couldn't, not until she found out what happened to Bellamy. If he was here she'd get him out, make a plan, one that would be sure to work, one that would return them to their people. If he was dead, there would be hell to pay and she was willing to kill anyone who got in her way, including her mother.

"Wish I could say the same" A familiar voice broke through and Clarke tensed, was she really ready to talk to this woman?

"Hello Clarke, I'm so glad you're okay"

Raven POV

Raven sat on a large rock and watched the hustle bustle of camp, her tentative eye not missing anything. The way Jasper and Monty argued over who would carry the larger log, neither of them wanting to look weak in front of the women of the camp. She saw Destiny beside the two looking back and worth between them as they argued, eventually picking up the log herself. Raven wondered if she'd been to harsh on the grounder but shook that thought away, it didn't matter how nice she was, she was a grounder. The grounders had offered them no kindness in the past and the only reason Caroline had accepted was out of spite for Anya. Raven continued looking to see Monroe saying something to Miller, she clearly had his complete attention, and Miller simply replied by picking her up and throwing her over her shoulder. On the other side she saw some of the older people in the camp teacher the younger ones how to throw a punch. She listened to the sounds of the hard work, the scraping of feet against the cold ground, the silent sheet of rain, the hustle bustle of the camp but one thing she didn't hear was arguing. Come to think of it, she hadn't seen Clarke or Bellamy all day, which was odd. She'd figured when they didn't come home last night that they were talking tactic with Caroline about what to do next, but there was something more going on here

"Clarke! Clarke..." Raven called as she walked through camp hearing a dainty voice say

"Bellamy? Bellamy!" someone bumped straight into her and just as she was about to run her mouth, she saw who the culprit was, Octavia "Oh, sorry Raven"

"Don't sweat it. Have you seen Clarke? I haven't seen her around all day" Raven asked the younger girl. Octavia shook her head

"No, I didn't hear her or Bellamy come in last night but that's because I was busy..." The faint blush creeping up on the youngest Blake's face told Raven everything she needed to know, with a smirk she replied

"With Lincoln please spare me the details. I doubt they'd just ditch camp. Not with the lurking threat of war and especially since Clarke's been all 'these are our people and we must protect them' lately"

"I'm worried about them" Raven placed a hand on Octavia's shoulder and gently squeezed, it was times like these she realised just how young the girl was.

"Don't freak out yet O" She said using the pet name she'd frequently heard "Why don't we go talk to Monty, Jasper and Finn, see if they know anything before we freak out. Who knows they might have just gone on some romantic get away" Raven said winking at her. She just hoped that she was right, but part of her knew she wasn't.

Clarke POV

"Where is he?" Clarke demanded keeping as far away from her mother as she could, not far enough away to miss the hurt flash across her face

"Who?" Abby asked

"You damn well know who. Now where is he?"

"Bring him in" Abby said into her walkie-talkie "Clarke, please don't be like this. I've missed you"

"Yeah well I wish I could say the same, but I was bust protecting a bunch of children, when the Ark couldn't. So sorry if I don't share the same feeling. And on the same note, I don't think the best way to show your daughter you love her is to kidnap her and her-" Clarke faltered for a moment before regaining her composure "co-leader. So if you'll be so kind as to..." The door opened once again and Bellamy was brought in, his hands tied. Clarke made a move for him but the guard stopped her.

"Princess" He said with a small smile, one he'd reserved for her. It was a smile of relief and Clarke was glad that he was alive. She couldn't survive this world without her.

"Clarke. I didn't mean for them to capture you so roughly but I simply came here to try and initiate peace" Clarke looked at her mother incredulously

"You seek to initiate peace with an act of war? Well I'm sorry Mum but that's ridiculous" Someone stepped out from behind Abby and Clarke directed her attention toward the mystery man

"It's nice to meet you Clarke Griffin" The man said, the tone of his voice said otherwise, he was cold and calculating and watching Bellamy as if he was about to strike, then it hit Clarke, this guy might just be the smartest guy out of all these people she'd met so far.

"Who are you?" She said getting straight to the point

"But can't you tell Clarke?" The man stepped out of the shadows and Clarke finally recognised who he was

"Phil Murphy" John Murphy's dad. Out of the corner of her eye, Clarke could see Bellamy visibly gulp

"Top of the class. What's happened to my son?" He asks, his eyes hopeful but not conveying much emotion

"He's..." Bellamy went to say but stopped, looking to Clarke for strength

"He's dead" She finished "I'm sorry" The man walked toward her slamming his fist into the table

"What happened to him?!" Phil demanded holding back tears. Just as Bellamy was about to confess Clarke spoke up, knowing he wasn't go to kill her

"I killed him" Phil threw her against the wall, much to the protest of Abby and held her up by her neck, she could faintly hear the guards restraining Bellamy but had her focus on Phil

"He tried to kill me, he'd already killed, he was going to kill again. He went crazy, he stabbed Bellamy, and if you think I was just going to let him pick off my people one by one you're crazy. John was just one of the many victims of the struggles of earth, but he was in no way a victim. We game him chances, too many" Phil still had grip on her

"You're a murderer"

"It was kill or be killed and unless you've been in that situation you cannot tell me you'd take the high road because I was not ready to die, there was far too much responsibility for me to leave behind. I take responsibility for what I did, I am a murderer but I do not have to justify myself to someone who's never had to fight to stay alive. Now put me down" Clarke was surprised when Phil released her

"Take them back to their cells. Time for talk is over" With that Phil left the room and Clarke and Bellamy were dragged out

"Clarke, I'm going to get us out of here! I promise!"

"I know" She said as she saw his body disappear. So many questions raked her mind and she wondered what would come of her and Bellamy, she wondered how on earth he was going to get them out of this one. She was thrown into her cell roughly and the door was shut. They could lock her in here but they couldn't break her hope.

Jasper POV

Jasper walked through the camp with Monty by his side and Finn walking slightly in front of them, looking for Clarke. They needed to clear up a trip to the beach, of course their leaders had to be informed of everything. Whilst looking he walked clear into Raven nearly knocking her to the ground, but he caught and lifted her up, her body flush against his.

"Uh.. sorry" He said, letting her go

"Nah, it's cool. Anyway, we were just looking for Clarke and Bellamy, have you seen them around?" Jasper shrugged but Finn replied

"Actually we were going to ask you the same thing"

"I don't know. But I'm worried. It's not like Clarke and Bellamy to just leave. Especially not Clarke, she has that whole hero-complex thing going on" Octavia said. Jasper watched as Lincoln came up behind her and put a hand on her arm. As if on instinct she leaned into him and Jasper wasn't really one for watching the girl of his dreams cuddle up to someone else. So he looked to Raven

"What about you mechanic? Got any ideas?" Raven shook her head but smiled at the nickname

"No. I think they might have just gone off together and talked or something. Bellamy seemed pretty set on getting her back. I think we should wait a little longer, maybe until tomorrow, to worry. If anyone asks we'll just say they went on a mission to gather supplies to build the wall. No one should panic until we know what's going on" Raven was right, they needed to regroup, calm down a little. Jasper took her hand and dragged her into the nearest room, he wanted to tell er of his suspicion, but he couldn't do it with Octavia freaking out in front of him.

"Raven, what if something has happened to them?" He said, letting her go and shutting the door

"Look Jas, I think we need to talk to Caroline, What if it was one of the grounders who was upset about us rocking up in their village?" Jasper ignored the way it felt when she used a pet name for him. They had bigger things to worry about, like where in the hell their leaders had gotten to. Monty walked in, Octavia and Lincoln hot on his heals, and Finn not far behind.

"You reckon you could get Desi to see if she can find anything out?" Jasper asked Monty, despite every inkling he had, he trusted the grounder, she was one of the only ones.

"Already done man. She's asking around now and she should be back any minute"

"How do you know you can trust her? Who knows, maybe she had something to do with this?" Jasper looked at Raven and shook his head slightly

"We don't. But that also means we don't know if she didn't either. We need to keep this between us. If word gets out they're missing the hundred will start a riot and god knows what will happen. Right now the thing that Bellamy and Clarke would want us to do is stay safe and united" Jasper said to them earning some nods of respect, he'd never had to take the leadership role before, but he slipped into place pretty easily, he just hoped he could stay that way.

"I think the mountain men are responsible" Jasper jumped at the voice of Lincoln, he hadn't really had many encounters with the grounder and he certainly didn't expect to be having a conversation with him.

"Now will you please explain to me this shit about the mountain men?" Octavia said with a groan. It was clear her boyfriend had been holding out on her.

"The mountain men come from mount weather. They live in a facility in mount weather, the mountains basically hollow with a the crap they've got inside. They say they capture our people and test on them, to see how the radiations affected them then they-" Lincoln stopped and Octavia quickly stepped in, eager for the information she'd been waiting for. Jasper observed the two and they seemed more alike than he'd expected. Although he was hurt that Octavia hadn't chosen him, it was time to move, she clearly had.

"They what Lincoln?"

"They kill them"

"Alright that's it. I'm going to find Bellamy and Clarke" Octavia said in a rage, about to run out of the room but Lincoln grabbed her "Let go of me or I'll kill you"

"Calm down Octavia. Don't do anything rash"

"Yeah O, you know those two they're way to stubborn to die. Give them time Octavia. You never know, they might even come back with information" Jasper said to her as she unravelled herself from Lincoln's hold

"Fine. But I'm not happy about this"

"Octavia, Clarke and Bellamy have gotten out of way worse. They'll be back. But for now we need your expertise as a doctor, you were the only one shadowing Clarke as she worked, so I'm afraid, you're it" Finn said and Jasper was glad that someone had thought of the whole 'not having a healer' situations

"Okay. I'll do what I can"

Bellamy POV

Shit, he hadn't even gotten a chance to hold Clarke, tell her she was safe, when he'd seen the real culprit behind their kidnapping. Clarke's mother of all people? Clearly she had family issues. As if was thrown into his cell, he though about her. About all the moments he'd had to tell her what she meant to him. To make her feel loved and safe.

"Bellamy" A curt voice said, as the door of his cell relocked

"Mrs Griffin" He said politely. Turning around but not approaching the woman in front of him

"You and Clarke, you know that you'll never survive out there right?"

"Excuse me? When we were dumped down here the intention wasn't for us to survive, and you know that, but against all odds we have, we've fought off grounders and reapers and panthers and anything else of the sort, so do not stand in front of me and tell me that we won't survive. I want to see Clarke" He said, his voice clear and confident, as if he knew exactly what move he was going to pull next, as if the thought of solitary didn't scare terrify him.

"You can see Clarke..." Just as she was about to say something else another man walked in, Murphy's dad.

"You can see Clarke. But make no mistake, this will be the last time you do"

"Don't threaten me, it won't get you far" Bellamy said, analysing what the man had just said to him, he couldn't let himself think about a world without Clarke in it. She was the voice of reason, he was the fighter, the one who pumped up the crowds, got them ready, and she was the calm, the one who was there to chill everyone out after the adrenaline of training, or hunting. They were yin and yang, polar opposites who fit together perfectly. He was the tough and she was the love.

The two adults walked out of the room and a few minutes later another person entered. Before he knew it, the petite blonde was in his arms, held tight to his body.

"Bell, they said this is the last time I'll see you... We can't let this happen. I won't... I can't lose you"

"Shhh Clarke, nothings happened yet. Nothing is ever for certain on this earth. You look tired princess" He noticed the large bags under her eyes and how he seemed to be the only thing holding her up, she looked ready to give up

"I thought you were dead, and my Mum betrayed me when she got my dad floated and now she kidnaps us and hasn't even told me why I'm here. I just thought things would get easier, when we found the ocean and Caroline's tribe" Bellamy soothed her, her sobs muffled against his shirt

"Clarke, shhh, let's get some rest. We'll worry about the earth tomorrow" He held her body against his and shifted them to the sofa that sat in his room. They laid there together, Clarke's body pressed tightly against him, and it felt as if he loosened his hold she would break. It wasn't until the moment that he felt her body calm and her breathing get back to a normal rate that he closed his eyes and allowed himself to sleep.

Abby POV

"Phil, they're just kids" Abby pleaded, she could the wicked look in his eye and above it all she feared for the safety of her child

"Don't question me Abby, we're no longer on the Ark. This is earth, and decisions need to be made to ensure our survival" Abby walked out of the room frustrated, she needed to get away from this man, who she'd once trusted, he was even her best friend when they'd gone through schooling on the Ark, but now it seemed as if he was going crazy. News of John's death did not hit him well. Abby found herself at the door of the surveillance room. With a quick look around she entered the room unnoticed. On one of the large screens was Bellamy's room. Abby watched as Clarke entered his room and broke down in his arms. His comfort seemed to be all she needed and the scene nearly brought Abby to tears. Her thoughts strayed, what was she thinking bringing her daughter here? Clarke was different. The earth had taught her things Abby never could. But above all else Abby vowed to make a change, it was time to put Clarke before herself. It was time to change who she was. Abby Griffin was no longer the innocent ark doctor, they'd appointed her leader. Part of her was sure she had no power, no idiot was going to let space-walkers roam onto their planet and hand them a presidency. Something was seriously wrong with the way things were run here and she made it her priority to find out what was really going on. The door to the room opened and closed causing Abby to jump in her seat

"I was just-"

"I knew I'd find you" She turned abruptly at the words of the familiar voice

"Marcus? I thought you were dead?"

"You think I'd leave you to face this earth on your own?" He said, a smile playing on his lips. She wondered if she should confide in him, but thought better of it. She was yet to find out how the earth had changed him, but for now she took some comfort in the fact that he was standing in front of her, flesh and blood, with that endearing smile on his face. For now, that was enough.

Okay... so that's it. Big chapter! I know I haven't released much info about the mountain men but I want to reveal more and more about that as we go! Plus I tried to sneak a little Ballarke scene in there, although it might have been a little out of place. The Abby POV was purely because I didn't want you all to hate her just yet. Anyway, the next chapter will be even bigger! Plus there will be a lot more Monty, Desi, Jasper and Raven because I actually love writing scenes with them in it.

*SPOILER ALERT* one of them (Clarke or Bellamy) will be returned to the hundred, what will come of the other? You'll just have to wait and see. REVIEW! :)
