Chapter 37

Hi repeat comment guest :) I would love some baby names, the gender is going to be a surprise but I'd love for some of your input. Send away! :)

Bellamy shook his head as he listened to Raven go off on a guy who had said something sexist or insulted her, he wasn't sure but he knew they were fighting for the sake of it.

Everyone in the bunker was bored and unsure what their next move was going to be, thankfully Jasper had found a room with tvs that hooked up as video feed for cameras outside. Monty had been working on it and got them up and running, Jaha and his followers were scanning the area. They'd obviously taken a map when they left the ark, otherwise they wouldn't have cared so much about a big field.

Bellamy remembered the day Clarke and him were sent here, it seemed like another life ago now. They had saved each other that night, not just from Dax but from their own inner demons. Thinking about Clarke just worried him, at this time he needed to control the things he could.

"Raven, Fitz knock it off! We are all on edge and in a small space with each other. If you need to cool off go find one of the back rooms and wack each other with pillows.

Both just rolled their eyes, Raven joined her people by the tvs and Fitz went off into another room. Most of the hundred were catching up on sleep and or taking advantage of the down time. While others were wound up and restless, the need to do something and be in motion had become an every day occurrence. Bellamy was feeling it too, the closer Jaha got to the bunker. It was just getting to about mid-day and he knew that both scout teams wouldn't be back till sometime the next day.

.

"Lance what have you found?" Jaha asked one of his men.

"I think this is the military bunker you were talking about sir."

Jaha smiled. "Look around the perimeter and see if you find any foot steps leading away."

If his gut wasn't leading him astray, Jaha had a strong feeling the bunker was playing host too what he was after. The kids knew the land and would have had a big head start, but they also had a pregnant girl and some injured with them, they would need to rest.

After looking around the area everyone came back with a version of the same answer. "We can't find any of their tracks."

"Find me an opening!"

.

Sinclair changed Clarke's bandages and put some more warm cloths on the blondes head, her colour seemed to be coming back and the baby seemed to be in good health as well. He knew Abby would want answers when she got back, he was working through the night to figure out what had caused Clarke to bleed so much.

Clarke gasped, Sinclair smiled walking over to her, that was until he realised she couldn't breath.

"No Clarke! Don't do this, stay with me." The doctor grabbed the closed sedative and slid the needle into Clarke's arm.

Standing looking down at her, Sinclair held his breath. Only when Clarke's returned to normal did he breath out.

.

Jensen motioned for Anya to come to the tree line, they watched together as the arkers tried to pull open one for the bunker doors.

"Should we go and stop them?" One of their men asked.

Jensen shook his head. "No, we need to wait for Clarke's group to get here. We are only here to back them if this turns violent, but also to show that they have our support and protection."

There was no talking after that, everyone waited quietly for the blonde leader to arrive. Little did they know she never would.

.

Bellamy and Raven had been glued to the tv screens, watching the arkers walk around looking for a way in. Bellamy had ordered the hundred to find chains and anything that could block the main doors.

"Bellamy!" Someone yelled from the front of the bunker. "The walls giving way the door wont be closed for much longer!"

He jogged through the halls to meet them. "Well it has to, Clarke's not back yet... They are focused on this door, go get the chains off the back one and bring it here."

After making the door as secure as they could everyone took a seat at the bottom of the stairs weapons in hand.

"Bellamy Blake! Clarke Griffin! If you and your followers come out now, we can talk this out." Jaha called from the door.

Bellamy gritted his teeth together shaking his head at the others, a signal for them to keep quiet.

"If you do not come out before sunrise tomorrow, we will have no choice but to smoke you out."

Bellamy walked back to the screens and watched Jaha lead his men back into the tree line, no doubt making camp for the night.

.

"Okay we've rested, we need to keep moving if we want to get there before the end of day tomorrow. Jaha might have already gotten to them."

"You said Clarke had a team of grounders coming too." Matt nodded.

"Yes but they aren't supposed to make a move until they saw Clarke."

"But she'd not with us." Abby said simply.

Matt nodded. "I don't think it matters, they follow Bellamy just as much as they follow Clarke. But Jensen their leader favours Clarke, they were supposed to get married until his girlfriend tried to killer her for it and- I'm going to stop talking now."

"Good idea." Abby couldn't believe everything her daughter had seemed to go through since landing on earth. "Let's get moving. I want to get back to my daughter as soon as I can."

.

The morning came sooner than anyone realised, Jaha's men were awake and ready to attack. But Bellamy was faster, he had the hundred up and at the top of the hill before the arkers were even out of their tents. Weapons at their sides but ready to be used at a moments notice.

Bellamy looked around the tree line for any signs of Clarke but the only reassurance he had was the grounders posted in the trees, arrows pulled back and set to fly.

.

"Jensen!" Matt whisper yelled.

"Woah hold up, he's with Clarke." Jensen quickly stepped in as another grounder prepared for take down.

"Thank god we found you." Matt huffed breathless. "I thought for sure we were lost."

Abby smacked his arm. "You said you knew where you were going."

"I hoped for the best, Fake it till you make it, right?"

Abby just rolled her eyes, turning to the dark skinned man she held out her hand. "Hi, I'm Abby Griffin."

Jensen nodded, politely taking her hand. "You're Clarke's mother. I'm Jensen-where is Clarke?"

"Blondie had to stay behind, but we're here and ready." Matt stepped in fast, cutting off whatever Abby had been about to say.

"It's a good thing you say that because our tree fighters say that your people have brought guns."

Jensen and Anya took the lead, marching their people on the ground up to stand beside the hundred.

Bellamy let out a sigh of relief as Jensen stood beside him, but that feeling quickly vanished when there was no signs of his Princess.

"There is no need for an army, we only wish to speak Mr, Blake." Jaha called for a distance out, his people on either side of him guns loaded. "Abby, I'm surprised at you."

"We wouldn't need extra hands if you weren't hunting us down." He called back, leading the exchange.

"We don't want to start anything here, we simply wanted to get a lay of the land."

"With half the arks guard and guns?"

"You personally have told me how dangerous these "grounders" are that you now stand with. Interesting how you would side with them after they killed your people."

"Like you haven't? No one is innocent here. But we were pardoned for our crimes and yet you still hatched a secret plan to take us out. Why? because we didn't fall back under your rule?"

Jaha didn't have a reply for that, Bellamy continued.

"You sent many innocent children to die, and you succeeded! None of these people you see beside me today are arkers. We. Are, Grounders! We met with you to try and help YOU, we know how to survive down here. We made alliances and lose our peoples lives fighting for it, fighting for our freedom. You will not take it away from us, we are not apart of your colony anymore Jaha." The hundred cheered as their leader spoke the truth, giving one of his famous speeches.

"Now there is no need to be so hostile, I think we can work this out." Jaha's slimy voice spat out. "Because as you so kindly pointed out, people died down here including my son, my son who was murdered by one of your own."

"You have nobody but yourself to blame for your sons death."

"Why you-" Someone standing beside Jaha, stepped forward holding him back.

Everything after that seemed to happen fast, a gun shot went off and everyone on the hill ducked. Quickly checking their neighbour for bullet holes. Anya moved to signal her people in the tree to shoot but Jensen stopped her.

"Anay, if we attack now there will never be peace." She just glared at him but nodded slightly showing her understanding.

"JAHA!" Abby called for her leaders attention. "These kid-people standing before you have faced challenges and loss that is different than us, they survived months without us and they manage to keep each other alive. They have made their own way of life down here, to expect them to fall back inline is just not realistic."

"You want your daughter out here with him!?"

Abby knew she'd voiced her hate toward Bellamy to Jaha even before she'd met him, the idea of her daughter coexisting with the man who shot her leader was despicable. But seeing them together she has a new perspective. For their shot visit to the ark, even thought her daughter seemed to want to keep her feelings a secret she knew. Even watching how Bellamy stood up for her and protected her really stirred something in Abby's heart and she knew her daughter was loved.

"Bellamy has been protecting and leading by my daughters side since their ship landed, and while I might not know him personally but I know my daughter. She trusts Bellamy and so do it."

"This is madness." Jaha snapped.

"No what's mad is you trying to kill innocent people because you can't stand anyone having power besides you. We need them to survive down here, if we lose them and their alliances we are as good as dead."

That seemed to stop Jaha, Abby watched on as his brain seemed to flip a full 360.

Jaha smiled and addressed the group. "As I said, we were just getting a lay on the land." He then signalled for his guards to follow him, as they retreated to the tree line.

I don't like Jaha and I did have a different path of Abby getting shot and dying but I decided that would been a new story arc and problem we just don't have time for :P
