So here is chapter 13, after a week as I promised. It's a longer chapter so I hope you guys will read it until the end. If you have feedback, it's always welcome.

The song I listened to while writing Clarke's emotions in her cell was this one: Katelyn Tarver - You Don't Know

Chapter 13

The sound of the gun going off radiated trough the air. She braced herself for the pain that the bullet would inflict, but it never came. Instead she heard a loud thump beside her. She looked to her left and saw Nathan on the ground. He lay flat on his chest, a pool of blood starting to form beneath him. His face was turned to her but his stare was lifeless.

Clarke looked in shock at Adkin, who had lowered the gun that was still giving off hot smoke from the shot.

'I told you that rules are rules and I don't allowed disobedience,' Adkin said. He signaled two guards to come to him. 'Get her back to her cell and do the same with Blake.'

The guards grabbed her by her upper arms and started pushing her towards the ship. On her way to the entrance she looked back to see Bellamy being grabbed and pulled up. Monty looked in her direction and gave her a small nod.

It was silent on the way to the cell. At this moment she could appreciate some silence. It took only five minutes to get to the cell. The door was opened by one of the guards who typed in the code. Clarke tried to take a glimpse at the code, but he protected it with his hand. A beeping sound signaled that the door was open and she was pushed inside. Clarke turned around once the guards had released her, waiting for Bellamy to be brought into the cell. To her surprise the guards just left the room and closed the door in front of her face.

'No!' she yelled as she started pounding on the door. 'Where is Bellamy?'

Of course there was no answer. She kept pounding on the door. 'I swear that if you guys hurt him again I'll kill you you. I'll kill you all!' she yelled almost hysterical. After some time her hands started hurting and she placed her back against the door and let herself slide down to the floor. She pulled her legs up and hugged her arms around them. She felt cold, lonely and since a long time she let her emotions run free. Tears started dwelling up and rolling down her cheeks.

Clarke placed her head in her hands and let the tears come. She didn't had the strength to try to keep them in. She was tired, hurt and scared even though she didn't wanted to admit that. She wasn't afraid for herself, but for her friends, for Madi. What if this whole plan went south. Madi would be on her own and Monty, Harper, Raven, Murphy and Emori would get hurt because of her interfering. She remembered what people had told her before. She caused people to die and suffer. Maybe they were right. Maybe her stubbornest and love for her friends did cause them to suffer. Maybe she should just had let them alone. But she needed them. She needed to be together with them. She had missed them so much and knowing that Adkin would have power over them wasn't something she would just let happen.

Clarke asked herself if she was being selfish for wanting her friends close to her. Maybe she should have asked them if they wanted to be saved. Her mind went to Bellamy. She could not leave him here. Leaving him here would be his death. He was already weakened and he had been happy to see her. Clarke signed. About what was she even thinking. There would be no way that her friends would want to stay here. They all had been happy about seeing her again and hearing about the plan to escape. They hadn't forgotten her. Maybe that was her biggest fear. That they didn't care as much about her as she did care about them. Maybe they had moved on, forgotten her over the past six years.

Clarke lay herself down on her right side, curling herself up into a ball. She would just have to wait and see. She would have to stay strong like she had always done. This wasn't the time and place to be weak and think about the questions 'what if'. She would just have to wait until Madi caused the explosion. If Clarke was right that would be in two days. And if her friends cared about her then Monty and Raven would get her out of this cell. She knew where Murphy and Emori where so getting them would be no problem. The problem would be finding Bellamy. Clarke cursed herself for letting them take Bellamy away from her. It was a smart move from Adkin to separate them. If he had put Bellamy in the cell with her she would had known he was alright. Right now, she could only guess how Bellamy was doing. Clarke knew they would keep Bellamy alive. Adkin wanted to use him against her, so he had to be alive for him to do that. Clarke only feared that they would hurt him even more. She didn't know how much more he would be able to take. She knew he was strong, she had always known that, but everybody had a limit.

Clarke closed her eyes. She was tired. The last days had tired her out. Her thoughts stayed with her friends, but after a while she fell in a restless sleep.

Clarke didn't know how long she was being held in the cell. Once in a while somebody opened the door to give her food or water, but other than that the door stayed close. It was always dark inside the cell so she had no idea of the passing of time. Clarke was lying on her back in the middle of the room, her eyes focused on the door, waiting for it to open again.

Five days had to have past since she came to the ship. She hoped that Madi would succeed in creating the explosion and that her friends would come for her. As if her prayers were heard she heard a loud bang and felt the ground vibrate beneath her. She could feel it on her back. In an instant she was on her feet.

'Well done Madi,' she said out loud. She was so proud of the girl.

Clarke ran to the door, trying to hear any noise in the hallway, but the thick metal door kept all the sounds out. Right now the only thing she could do was wait.

Clarke didn't had to wait too long. After almost twenty minutes she heard the lock open and the door swung open. Monty stood in the doorway with behind him Murphy and Emori.

She was so glad too see their faces. They had come for her. The self doubt from the past two days were gone and she felt joy. She knew they weren't safe yet, but the fact that they were here, right in front of her gave her hope that this plan might succeed.

She walked over to them, a big smile on her face.

When standing in front of them, Murphy's eyes glided over her.

'Nice dress,' he commented, followed by a smack from Emori on his shoulder.

Clarke looked down at her clothes. She was still wearing the dress that Adkin had chosen for her. When she had returned from the fight her own clothes had been gone, so she had had no other choice than to keep the dress on. The dress was nothing compared to how it had been when she had put it on three days ago. The dirt from outside had turned the white into a light brown colour and the blood from her wound on her arm had left red streaks.

Clarke didn't respond to the remark but went straight to business.

'Where are Harper and Raven?'

'Raven is in the tech room, keeping an eye on the camera's. We'll get her on our way out. Harper is on lookout at the end of the hallway,' Monty answered. He pointed to the radio that was hanging on his belt. Pointing out that they could communicate with them.

'Monty said Bellamy was with you. Where is he?' Murphy asked after inspecting the cell, only to find it empty.

Clarke felt her hearth sink. She had hoped that they would have had an idea about where he would be.

'I don't know. They took him somewhere else,' Clarke responded.

Then the radio started to make a static noise and Raven's voice came trough.

'Guys... I hope Clarke and Bellamy are already with you, because there are guards coming your way.'

Monty reached for his radio and Clarke stretched her hand out, giving Monty a pleading look. He gave her the radio without second guessing it.

'Raven.' Clarke said. Clarke had missed Raven. When she had landed on earth Clarke had wished that Raven hadn't come, but she had never hated the girl. Finn had been in the wrong for not telling her about Raven and that was something that she couldn't blame on Raven. The biggest test to their friendship had been Finn's dead. Raven had blamed her for a long time, but after time passed they both forgave one another, knowing that it had to be done and Finn had been spared from greater pain. After that their friendship had grown stronger. So, Clarke was glad to hear the voice from her friend again.

'Clarke?' Raven's voice sounded relieved, even happy ',It's good to finally hear your , but our reunion conversation will have to wait. You guys need to get out right now. I see two guards coming your way on the security cameras.'

'We still have to find Bellamy,' Clarke pointed out ',do you have any idea where he is?'

'I've seen some guards taking him further down the south wing two days ago, but you won't have time to get him before the guards find you and when they see you outside your cell they'll catch on and this whole plan will fail.'

'I can take care of them,' Clarke responded ',I won't leave without him.'

'They have guns Clarke. We have no weapons. They'll kill us even before we can get close to them,' Monty said. He had a point, but Clarke wasn't liking in what direction this conversation was going.

'I'm not leaving him,' she said while she clenched her hands into fists ', you guys can go, but i'm not going to leave him behind.' She hadn't come this far just to leave Bellamy behind. If they would leave this ship then it would be with everyone.

'I'll come with you Clarke.' Clarke turned to Murphy who gave her a reassuring smile. He would have been the last person she expected to volunteer to save Bellamy. Murphy always took the safest way. He always had put his own life and the life of Emori before anybody else, so to hear him suggesting that he would stay for Bellamy and put his own safety on the line was a surprise to Clarke.

'You don't have to look so surprised Clarke,'Muprhy said, almost sounding offended ',Bellamy has done a lot for me. I owe him, so this is the least I can do for him.'

'Thank you Murphy,' she said as she placed her hand on Murphy's shoulder and squeezed it as an extra indication she really appreciated his help.

'I'll come too then,' Emori said. Of course. Where Murphy went, Emori went too. Clarke gave Emori a thankful smile.

Just when she wanted to say something to Monty about what they should do next, Harper came from around the corner.

'Guys we need to go,' the girl said as she looked at the group. Clarke just stared at the girl as she joined them. Her face looked just the same, but something was very different from when Clarke had last seen her.

'Harper... you're...,' Clarke started.

'Pregnant? Yep,' she said with a big smile as Monty came to stand next to her, placing his arm around her waist.

Looking at how her shirt was tight around her belly, she had to be up to five months now. So that was what Monty had meant by Harper not feeling well on the day of the party and fight.

Harper had placed both her hands on her stomach. She looked happy, considering their situation.

'Well, congratulations,' Clarke said as she took Harpers hands in her own. 'You two will be great parents.' Clarke was sure of that fact.

'I don't wanna be the party pooper, but I think we really need to go now,' Murphy said as Clarke and Harper started talking about the pregnancy.

Right. They had to get out of here and she, Murphy and Emori had to find Bellamy.

'Monty and Harper. Get Raven and leave this ship. Go to the drop ship. It's to the north of here. There will be a girl there, Madi. She'll look after you guys, take you to a safe place. We'll get Bellamy and come too.'

Monty nodded as he took Harper's hand and said to Raven over the radio that she had to get ready to leave.

'Clarke,' Raven began over the radio after she had agreed to the plan ',I changed the codes to the cells to the date you guys landed. Please be safe.'

Clarke put the radio to her mouth. 'Thank you Raven. Be safe too and I'll see you soon.'

She wanted to hand the radio back to Monty, but he didn't take it. 'Keep it. Maybe we'll be able to communicate trough it. We'll be able to tell you when we're out.'

Clarke nodded. Like always Monty was the one who had the good ideas.

'Well. I guess this is goodbye for now. Again,' Clarke said to Harper and Monty.

'Look after each other. We'll be waiting for you guys.'

This was hard. She didn't wanted to separate from them, not after just reuniting, but she couldn't leave Bellamy behind so there was no other choice. On the other hand, just knowing that they would be safe would already give her the strength to keep going.

They all said their goodbyes and then Monty and Harper where gone and Murphy, Emori and herself were left. She didn't lose time because she immediately started walking in the direction of the south wing, followed by Murphy and Emori.

That was chapter 13. I hope it was good.

Next week I'll post chapter 14, so stay patient ;)
