Chapter 21
Clarke's Point of View
Waiting for Bellamy to make radio contact seemed to take a lifetime. In reality he had only been gone a few days but the day he made contact was a relief. However our relief was short lived as he announced there was a planned attack on the peace meeting Lexa and myself had arranged. As soon as he told me that I took off to Tondc to tell Lexa.
"Then we need to leave." She stated as I explained what Bellamy had told me.
"What?" Skye gasped from the corner.
"We can't do that everyone here will die!" She exclaimed.
"She's right we need to warn them." I agreed as I headed for the door.
I felt Lexa pull me back as I did.
"We can't warn them." She hissed.
"To hell we can't." Skye replied as she too tried to leave.
Just like she had with me Lexa pulled her back, only difference was Skye had a broken arm. She yelped in pain in response.
"Sorry." Lexa cried as soon as she realised she hurt her.
"Look all I am saying is, if we don't go then the Mountain Men will know we have a spy on the inside. Then everything we have done to get Bellamy in will be a waste." She explained.
Skye looked and me and I knew she was thinking the same. She let out a loud sigh as I turned to Lexa.
"Your right." I mumbled in defeat.
Lexa nodded and gestured for the back exit. Slowly we crept out of camp and into the trees. We were almost out of sight when I looked back and saw mom walking into the camp.
"No!" I cried.
Skye turned to see what I was looking at and had the same reaction.
"I thought she was supposed to stay at camp Jaha?" She questioned.
"She was she must have decided to join Marcus." I said before I realised.
"My dad is here?" Skye yelled.
"Shhhhh." Lexa scolded.
"I can't let them die!" Skye hissed at her.
"Don't you even think about going back!" Lexa threatened.
Skye looked to me as she ignored Lexa.
"You get mom, I have to get my dad." She instructed before running off, too fast for Lexa to catch.
"Skylar!" Lexa roared after her.
Taking a leaf out of my sisters book I ran off towards mom. I got to quickly and pulled her towards the trees as she questioned me.
"What is wrong?" She asked as I pulled her behind.
"Clarke stop!" She complained.
I didn't dare stop until I knew we were out of immediate danger and sight.
"What is this about?" Mom demanded.
I was about to reply but before I could there was a loud noise from above, followed by a huge explosion. We were thrown to the ground as pieces of wood and trees blasted around us. It seemed to last forever but eventually things stopped falling and we were able to get up.
"You knew." Mom stated angrily as she looked at me.
"Mom…" I began to say but she stopped me.
"No, tell me you didn't know, tell me this was all Lexa?" She begged.
"I-I-I-I can't." I admitted.
A look of sheer disappointment crossed her face. It was only then that I remembered Skye hadn't appeared.
"Skye….." I whispered.
Looking around desperately I didn't see any sign of her.
"Please tell me you told your sister." Mom gasped.
"I did, I mean she knew but she went after Marcus." I cried.
Mom gave me one last look before turning and heading towards camp, leaving me alone without saying another word. I was about to follow her when I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"Skye?" I whispered as relief washed over me.
She was covered in dust but seemed unharmed.
"Lexa's dead." She mumbled.
"No she isn't I saw here leave?" I replied confused.
"She came after me." Skye told me, it was clear she was in shock.
"What happened?" I pressed.
"Bomb went off, she hit her head." Skye explained as tears formed in her eyes.
"I'm so sorry Skye." I said as I put my arms around her.
She began to cry softly into my shoulder as I held her close.
"Skye I know your upset but we still need to find the guy who was informing Mount Weather, he has to be close." I said hesitantly.
Reluctantly she pulled away, wiping her tears as she did.
"I know." She sighed.
I gave her a small smile before starting to walk.
"Clarke?" Skye called after me.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"I was Lexa's second in command…" She trailed off.
It took me a minute to realise what she was trying to tell me.
"Commander?" I gasped.
She slowly nodded in response as a hint of a smile crossed her face.
Abby's Point of View
"Skye?" I yelled as I ran through the ruins of Tondc.
"Skylar?" I yelled again more desperate.
Everyone was panicking and rushing about as I looked around.
"Abby?" I heard some call.
"Abby!" They called again.
I turned in the direction of the voice and Marcus flung his arms around me. Kissing me as he released me from the hug.
"Thank god you ok." I sighed in relief.
"You to, how come you're here?" He asked.
"Marcus we can talk later have you seen Skye?" I questioned.
"No." He replied as he gave me a concerned look.
I turned away from him to look around just as someone stepped forward.
"The commander is dead, we have yet to find her second in command." A saddened grounder announced.
"Second in command? Skylar is second in command!" Marcus cried.
"Wait does that mean….." I trailed off.
Next chapter will show what happened to lead to Lexa's death :-) Until next time ;-)
