Chapter 25

Bellamy yelled as he swung his sword hard enough to slice into a man's chest deep enough to kill. They were way past just holding off a small group sent to kill, Anya had a whole army out here. If Bellamy Couldn't kill Anya than Clarke and his baby wouldn't ever be safe. Sure other clans maybe had problems with them but Anya was the only one that declared war.

According to Jensen and the talks Bellamy has had with other members of the tribe, their time on earth had mostly been peaceful the only fights they had were in house. The wars and battling only really started to happen once the hundred had fallen form the sky. Another thing for the grounders to hate them for.

Bellamy turned hearing someone coming up behind him, raising his weapon just in time to fend of the grounder that tried to attack him. Half way into his turn he got momentary distracted by a blur of blonde hair, Clarke?

Bellamy groaned as a sharp knife cut into his side, not too deep but deep enough that he'd need stitches. Jensen appeared behind the attacker and severed his head, Bellamy looked up, nodding his gratitude.

Jensen had noticed Bellamy's distraction and confirmed what he'd been thinking "She said she wouldn't be kept from the fight, but I have some of my men defending her as she heals the wounded."

"Are you fucking-"

There was no more time for talking, only fighting. Anya's army kept coming in waves, her had a lot more people fighting for her than they had.

.

Once Clarke had patched up all the guys around her she took an axe from one of the fallen grounders, just in time for a grounder to sneak up behind her. Clarke gasped at the kick to her back but caught herself on a tree, quickly regaining her balance before striking back.

A fog horn sounded, disrupting the fight. Anya's grounders seemed to pull back at the noise running back into the forest. The grounders from her village started yelling in grounder tongue, Clarke wasn't sure what it meant but it sounded celebratory.

As the grounders fled, Jensen called out an order to take out anyone close enough, not to let all of them escape with their lives. Grounder threw their weapons getting as many kills as they could.

The rain hadn't slowed down but the cover from all the tree's seemed to have shielded them from most of it. Clarke sighed pulling her hair back into a quick sloppy braid, just to get it out of her face.

"Clarke!" Bellamy called, and boy he did not sound happy "Are you insane?"

Clarke shrugged "There are a couple studies to back that up."

Bellamy shook his head, reaching her "You should be with the others, what were you thinking leaving them without a leader!"

Clarke rolled her eyes at that, always the over barring protector.

"Oh cut the crap. You're just mad I didn't run and hide like the rest of the women and children."

"You're damn right." Bellamy stepped closer and Clarke tilted her head up to keep eye contact "You fall under both categories, meaning you should be miles away from here."

"You know what else I fall under, Healer and Leader. These men are out here fighting for us, because we burned a village to the ground with our missiles AND started a war. I wasn't going to stay behind and pretend like I had no part in that."

"Well I guess now I know which titles are more important to you." Bellamy snapped, turning to walk away but Clarke stop him.

"Don't! None of these titles were earned or asked for, OKAY? They fell onto us all because some idiots couldn't regulate oxygen levels on a freakin space station." Clarke gasped "You know half these men would have bleed out during this fight if I hadn't been here. The only think different about you and me is our anatomy, because if the situations were reversed you would have done the same thing."

Bellamy clenched his fists, she made him so angry. Taking a deep breath he walked away before he could say something he'd really regret and couldn't come back from.

One the way back to camp there wasn't much talking in the group, Jensen send a couple men ahead on horse back to let the other group know they were safe to come back to camp.

Clarke walked in the middle of the group not wanting to be bothers with anyone while she had her silent conversation, even though the baby obviously wasn't developed Clarke liked to have conversations with it. Just in her mind, things she didn't want to talk through out loud with anyone. Mostly she just grumbled about Bellamy and how annoying he was.

It sometimes felt childish but she was only 18, her role as leader and being on the ground made all the sky people act and appear older than they were. but they were all just teens, wither under 18 or just tuned. Well except for Bellamy but he stowaway onto the drop ship so he doesn't count.

When they reached camp Clarke just wanted to eat some food and get out of the rain but this is earth, obviously shit isn't that simple.

The riders galloped back into camp shouting for Jensen.

Clarke walked over to where they were to hear what was happening.

"-Anya has double crossed us."

"That is why she pulled back so easily, she got what she wanted." Jensen groaned in frustration, kicking a pale the was nearby.

"I don't understand." Clarke voiced her confusion.

Jensen turned to her "The fight was a distraction-"

Bellamy cut in "They took the others who were heading towards the sea."

Clarke cut him a sideways look "Guess it's a good think I was at the battle, wasn't it." Then to the whole group "We have to go after them."

Jensen motioned for the others to leave "It's more complicated than that." Jensen told her.

"What's complicated, our people are missing. Probably getting tortured or worst and you want to sit back and do nothing."

"That's not what I'm saying."

"Then what are you saying? Cause right now I'm not hearing the words of a leader who want's his people back."

"Clarke-" Bellamy started to speak but she shut him down.

"Don'T ok? I don't need you against me too."

"if you'd let me finish I was going to say Clarke is right... We can't leave our people out there. We need a plan and fast."

The three were quiet for a second, Clarke leaned towards Bellamy muttering a "sorry.". He just have her an amused look.

"Our men need a night to head, give it till tomorrow." Jensen walked away.

Clarke and Bellamy looked at one another rain falling all around them. There was still some hostility about the events of the day but at the moment their people were in danger, that came before anything else.
