Sum: Clarke talks with Bellamy and checks on Raven
WARNING - Brollarke hug ahead so be cautious
"Bellamy!" Clarke followed the boy until his journey ended, which happened back in camp. "Bellamy stop!"
He turned to her with one swift motion. "What?!" Anger was clearly evident in his voice.
She almost flinched at the outburst. "What is wrong?"
"Nothing." He turned around and was about to leave when Clarke grabbed his arm and spun him around so he was facing her again. "No! I know how you react when you're angry or hurting, so I won't leave until you talk to me about it!"
He clenched his jaw and looked at her defiantly.
They were staring at each other in silence until Bellamy sighed and looked at the ground. "You picked her," he whispered.
Clarke released his arm and looked at him, confusion etched across her face. "I don't understand..."
"They took everything from me!" He looked back at her once again angry. "My sister, my love, and now my best friend!"
Clarke looked sadly at the boy in front of her, recognizing this specific pain. "I'm sorry about Gina."
His shoulders slumped forward, and Clarke could see the tears forming in his eyes. She quickly closed the gap between them and pulled him close to her.
"She was so good, Clarke, too good for this world." He started sobbing, but no tears spilled from his eyes as he wrapped his arms around her. "You would've like her."
She just held him and said nothing else.
After a moment the sobbing ceased, and she withdraw from the embrace. "Bellamy I really am sorry for what happened to Gina, but Lexa did everything in her power..." She noticed how he wanted to say something, but she stopped him with the shake of her head. "Let me finish Bellamy." He bit his lip and nodded. "Lexa did everything in her power to avenge Gina's death - she even killed the one responsible. If you would have waited one more day to kill the peace force she sent, then you would have known sooner."
"I thought..."
Clarke cut him off. "I know, but you can't just murder people when you're upset!" She shook her head and calmed again. "That's how you lost your sister, and me… along with many others from the hundred." She saw look at the ground ashamed. "I chose Lexa because I love her, but that does not mean that you lost me as a friend because of her. You lost my trust and friendship only because of the massacre you committed." He looked up and watched her with watery eyes. "I don't know if I will be ever able to forgive you, or be able to fully trust you again."
"Clarke..."
She shook her head. "No Bellamy - as you all said to me at the bonfire before we arrived here, we are still the hundred, still the family, but that doesn't mean I forgive you. You will just have to live with what you've done, and I will have to learn to trust you again." She smiled and patted his shoulder. "But right now, you're off to a good start."
He flashed her a weak smile.
"Octavia is starting to forgive you too. Just stop this racist bullshit in your head…" Clarke smacked his head and chuckled at him. "… and be the reliable Bellamy who helped me pull the lever." The memory caused her to look at him sadly.
He nodded to her, a small smile again gracing his lips. "I will be that guy again."
She smiled back at him. "I hope so. I would like my friend back." She paused for a moment before dragging him away. "Now let's go back to the training ground. We still might catch an interesting fight."
A FEW DAYS LATER
It was a typical day for Clarke. She looked over Lincoln and Octavia's departure, looked over the camp, watched over Monty's departure. Raven stayed in the camp, because she had found enough parts to start making some of her toys, as she liked to call it. Miller and Bryan wanted to get outside, so instead of her going with Monty, they did.
She quickly finished her breakfast that Aron brought her, making her way to Raven's tent.
When she got inside, she saw Harper lying on her bed talking to Raven. "...I'm aiming to please." Harper said, causing Raven burst into laughter.
Clarke looked between them with wide eyes. "Should I come back later?"
Both of girls turned to her. "You know if you want to please Raven, I can wait outside." Clarke pointed to entrance and stared at Harper with a serious expression.
Harper's eyes went wide and she quickly jumped off of her bed. "No!" She shook her head. "I didn't… you didn't… it was..."
Clarke stopped Harper's babbling when she burst into laughter, and not long after Raven's laughter joined hers.
"Sorry Harper." Clarke patted her shoulder. "But your face was hilarious."
Harper quickly sat on her bed and chuckled. "Some boy used a pickup line on me. Next time come sooner, then you can hear the beginning of the story."
Clarke nodded. "When I have a free day, I'll spend it here - promise." She smiled at other blonde before moving to Raven's table, which was at the other side of the tent, near the bed. "So how is your bomb manufacturing going?"
Raven shrugged. "Well I decided to make grenades as they require less chemicals. To be precise, they're the only thing I can make from the things I have." She sighed, "There aren't many bunkers that have anything good inside."
Clarke nodded and gave her friend an encouraging smile. "Like that ever stopped you; you're Raven fucking Reyes. If you wanted, you could probably build us another Ark."
The dark haired girl grinned at her. "Damn right Griffin!"
They were grinning at each other until Clarke asked another question, "So how many of them do you currently have at this moment?"
"Two." Raven responded with a shrug.
"Just two?" The blonde looked at the mechanic with shocked eyes.
Raven was easily offended by Clarke's outburst. "Hey I'm a genius, not a miracle worker."
Harper decided to defend her friend. "Don't be so hard on her Clarke. She is sitting behind the table all day long."
Clarke sighed. "I know. I'm sorry Rae. It's just that today is the clan leaders meeting, and I… have a lot on my mind."
As if on cue, Aron entered the tent. "Wanheda, you and your delegation are expected in Heda's tent."
"I will be right there Aron."
He nodded and went to wait outside.
"Raven prepare to leave, you're going with me… And take one of the grenades, in case someone wants to see it." The dark haired girl nodded, and carefully put a grenade in her pocket.
Clarke turned to Harper. "How much do you know about our guns, tactics with them, and..." She paused for a moment looking for the best word, ".. stuff?"
"Bellamy drilled this kind of stuff into us back at the drop ship. Plus he loved to talk about these things when we ended up on guard together." She shrugged. "So.. probably a lot. Why?"
"Good, then you're going too. Grab a gun, let's go." Clarke quickly checked her pocket to make sure that the fleimkepa book was still there, and when she felt it in her coat she went outside, the two girls trailing behind her.
Harper is such an underrated character...and Raven deserves more time with some people who are nice to her...so I feel like this will be a great friendship :D
also I don't know if I said it or no but Monty and Harper are not making sense to me so...Harper is single - woohoo right?...time to find her some grounder chick...hmmm...I think Indra is free... :D
anyway...this should be the last filler for some time...woohoo finally some action and important stuff =)
Next time: Clan leader's meeting
