Yeah exams are finally finished. Sorry it has been a while but this story is nearly finished though I'm not sure how many more chapters. Thank you to everyone who has reviewed, followed and favourited. Enjoy! :)
The first thing Clarke wanted to do when she saw Bellamy was drag him to their cabin and show him their room but they had to be leaders first. She noticed that the Grounders with the exception of Lincoln had already left the scouting group. Bellamy was at the front of the group walking through the gates and Clarke ran to him jumping into his arms. Bellamy's arms closed around her and pulled her as close as possible to his body never wanting to let her go.
"Anyone hurt?" Clarke asked Bellamy after kissing him, still not letting him go.
"Well, no one got hurt I can't guarantee that no one will be," Bellamy sounded slightly pained.
"What do you…" Clarke started but stopped when she saw Finn and Drew carrying Murphy between them. Instead she said "Is that Murphy?" her voice dangerous.
Clarke let go of Bellamy and strode towards the three boys all questions about the Reapers could wait.
"Why is he here?" she asked.
"We found him in the Reapers cave they were going to eat him. I couldn't leave him," pleaded Finn.
Drew rolled his eyes and huffed, "Yeah stupid Spacewalker decided to risk both our lives on Murphy. We don't even know if he can be saved," muttered Drew.
Clarke paused and looked over Murphy, "Okay, take him to the med-bay and stay there with him I want to check both of you over as well." Clarke then turned and caught Bellamy's eye with a look that said you too. She then looked for Miller. Clarke found him standing not too far away with his arms around Raven. They were in their own little world. Clarke almost felt bad about interrupting but she was in doctor mode.
"Miller, med-bay!" was all Clarke yelled. Raven and Miller broke apart and nodded to Clarke. She then yelled the same to Lincoln and turned on her heel and grabbed Bellamy before making her way to the med-bay.
Clarke and Bellamy entered the med-bay to see Finn and Drew placing Murphy on one of the med-bay beds. Monty was eyeing them warily; Karen was sat by him whispering questions into his ear, eyes flicking back and forth. Clarke steeled herself knowing that the next couple of hours where not going to go as she wanted which was locked in her and Bellamy's room with Bellamy. She was now going to spend it trying to keep Murphy alive.
"So what happened to him?" Clarke asked while checking his vitals. He was weak but at least he was still breathing and his heart was beating. Clarke took a quick overview of his body. His top and jacket had been taken and his torso was covered in bruises as was his face, he was only half awake.
"Um..." Clarke heard Finn attempt at an explanation and she turned to find him shifting on his feet. "I'm not sure, Lincoln said something about starved, beaten and losing blood," Finn looked to the Grounder for confirmation which he gave.
"I think he has probably lost quite a bit of blood from the wound on his stomach. Nothing to kill him straight away they like their food fresh just enough to make him weak. The bruising from beatings would also be to weaken him," Lincoln explained.
Clarke nodded "Octavia can you get me some water please and I'll clean his wound then look over the boys."
Murphy's wound on his stomach was not too deep and did not need stitches. It was a couple of days old and had luckily not got infected yet. Once it was clean she bound his ribs just in case any of the blows had broken them.
"Octavia please feed him the water for now."
Clarke moved to check over the boys and found none of them really injured Drew and Finn were just tired from carrying Murphy and were sent to bed. Miller had a small cut on his hand that Clarke cleaned and covered. Lincoln was perfectly fine and so was Bellamy.
By the time she was done Murphy was moaning, food was fetched and Clarke slowly fed him. Lincoln, Octavia, Miller and Raven has disappeared no doubt they were currently in Clarke and Bellamy's cabin. When Clarke looked up from Murphy she noticed Monty and Karen had also left leaving her with Bellamy.
"Will he live?" he asked.
"I don't know. If I had the right equipment I could give him blood but I don't think he has lost as much blood as Lincoln thinks he had," sighed Clarke.
"What are we going to do with him?" asked Bellamy, "I said I would kill him if he came back but Finn brought him back."
"We will wait until he gets better then talk to him."
"Fine but Princess we found him in the mines. What if…" Bellamy trailed off but he did not need to finish the sentence, Clarke knew what he meant.
"The wound is a couple of days old if he was going to come down with miner's illness he would already have it."
This seemed to relieve Bellamy, "Great but you're not staying here to watch him. Finn brought him back, he can watch him."
Clarke wanted to argue that Finn was tired the entire scouting group was tired but she really wanted some time with Bellamy before the war council arrived so she agreed.
After getting Finn to watch Murphy, Clarke dragged Bellamy to their new cabin. Luckily everyone had already moved their stuff in and left with the exception of Miller who was in his and Raven's room. Clarke was not sure but she would guess Raven was with him.
"So what do you think?" asked Clarke standing in the middle of the main room next to the fire.
"Wow who knew we could pull this off? Our very own cabin, I can't wait until the Ark sees what we can do." Bellamy smiled and put his arms around Clarke kissing her neck.
"Well at the minute Raven and Miller have one of our guest rooms, Monty and Jasper have another and Octavia is sharing the other with Monroe and Harper as we all knew you would not want her sharing with Lincoln under what you would deem your roof."
Bellamy nodded grateful that Octavia had been accepting of this more than likely it was because it came from Clarke.
"What about our room?" asked Bellamy into Clarke's ear.
"The main bedroom," giggled Clarke.
"Ummmm," Bellamy hummed kissing down Clarke's neck.
"This way," Clarke pulled Bellamy towards their room.
It was Jasper that disrupted them when the Grounders where sited heading towards the camp. Clarke was lying wrapped around Bellamy, her face was pressed against his neck and her hand was above his heart. Bellamy had his arms around Clarke; his fingers were drawing patterns on her back while he stared at the roof of the cabin. A smile came over his face, it was their cabin, his and Clarke's and she loved him. Even with the impending war with the Reapers Bellamy was happy. The girl he loved was lying in his arms. He turned his head to the side gently kissing Clarke's forehead and she snuggled more into him kissing his neck.
"I love you," whispered Bellamy.
"I love you too, I'm glad you're back safe."
That was when Jasper knocked on their bedroom door calling out, "Er… the Grounders have been spotted making their way here."
"We will be out in a minute," Bellamy called back as he and Clarke rolled out of bed.
As they left their bedroom they saw Miller and Raven exiting the guest bedroom. The boys nodded to each other while Raven linked her arm through Clarke's walking out of the cabin.
Ten minutes later the war council had convened in the meeting hall, the Grounders where stood mixed in with those of the 100 who were trusted enough to help plan the battle. Clarke, Bellamy, Raven, Miller, Octavia, Lincoln, Finn and Drew where dotted around looking towards Anya who was stood next to a younger looking women with darker hair. Two Grounders they had never met before were stood near the door looking uncomfortable but fierce. Dwayne was stood next to Bellamy as they were starting to get along. They were all stood around the table containing the map.
"This is our Commander Lexa. Lexa the leaders of the Sky People Clarke and Bellamy," Anya introduced them.
Lexa nodded "Thank you for welcoming us into your village, this is Indra and Gustus, you know the rest of my people."
"This is Raven, Miller, Octavia, Drew and Finn."
It was then those on the scouting mission gave the information on the position of the Reapers and their number.
"That is the most amount of Reapers we have ever seen in one place," Lexa said.
"We need to draw them all out of the caves," Dwayne stated.
"And how do we do that?" asked Bellamy.
"If we are close enough to the caves and make enough noise they will all give chase. If not we can send another group into the caves."
"So we lead them to where we want," suggested Clarke.
They were planning the groups, it would be a mix of Grounders and the 100, though some of the younger members of the 100 would not take part in the battle and neither would Clarke as she was the healer. Bellamy wanted to argue when Octavia was put in the group going to the meadow where it was planned to ambush the Reapers, but he was in the same group so at least he could keep an eye on her. Miller was put in charge of the members of the 100 going to check the cave.
"So that just leaves the people who are going to draw the Reapers out," declared Bellamy.
"I'll do it," offered Lincoln. Octavia's head whipped around her eyes wide. She and Lincoln shared a look as an expression of pride crossed her face. She knew she would not be able to talk him out of it.
"Okay then we will need on more," said Anya.
Bellamy was just about to volunteer when Finn pulled him back and stepped forward himself.
"I'll go with him."
"Then it is decided, we will take tomorrow to prepare and let the warriors know. We will meet on this meadow where the battle will take place at dawn the following morning," just as Lexa was pointing at the map Jasper ran into the room.
"You really need to see this," he exclaimed before running out of the room with everyone following him.
Outside everyone had stopped what they were doing and were staring at the sky. Something was falling from the sky, without parachutes, there were different pieces all separate but all on fire. It looked as though they were using thrusters to slow down.
"Is that from the Ark?" asked Fox from across the camp near the gate.
"That is the Ark," answered Clarke her voice ringing around the camp. Everyone knew what this meant; it was not just Bellamy and Clarke that shared a look.
