Robby pov
"Clarke! Where Clarke?" Jasper yells as they open the gate to let us in.
"I'm here whats up? Octavia?" Clarke appears and asks
"Finn!" She says and checks his pulse. He looks pale.
"Oh my God," Raven gasps.
"Robby wouldn't let me take the knife out," Jasper says bitterly, but I ignore it
"No that was a good call, we need to get him in the dropship now," Clarke says.
I wanna look at Jasper and smirk, but I owe him my life so I decide to let him stew.
"Now! Go!" She says to us and we rush him to the dropship.
A little bit later a huge thunderstorm hits, and it takes a lot of manpower to hold the tents steady. I'm trying to help Raven her the radio working. She was able to rebuild most of the radio despite Bellamy stomping it.
"The culling did it happen?!" I ask
"I don't know?!" She responds
"This is Raven Reyes calling ark station," she says for the hundredth time getting more stressed each time.
"Is it the right frequency?" I ask.
"Yes!" she snaps at me.
"Wow Reyes, your attitude hasn't changed," I say
"Not now Robby," she snaps again.
"Hey you can do this. Your Raven Reyes. You'll figure it out!" I yell over the howling wind.
"I know. I'm awesome!" She yells back.
She tried a few more times to call the ark.
"Who is this? Please Identify yourself." The voice on the other end says.
"I told you," I say giving Raven a half smile.
"This is Raven Reyes. I'm from mecha station. I'm transmitting from the ground," Raven responds into the radio
"Please I need you to get Dr. Abby Griffin," she says
"Dr. Griffin now!" I yell into the radio
"Hold on guys we're trying to boost your signal," the voice of Sinclair says into the radio.
"Wait Sinclair, did the culling happen?" I ask crossing my fingers for an answer of no.
He pauses for a second and says "well thanks to a certain someone by the name of Robby Kane, three hundred and twenty innocent lives were saved as a result of your message on the radio," Sinclair announces and everyone in the dropship hears it.
Everyone gasps and someone pats me on the back. I hear a few cheers and whistles from around the dropship.
"Well Robby, Im happy to say that your a hero to all of us now," Sinclair says sounding proud.
I'm at a loss for words I can't believe my radio call worked. I prevented a culling wow. I'm a hero which isn't the important thing, but I'm allowed to mentally gloat. I guess I figured it out Wells.
"It's okay to smile," Raven says elbowing me in the side.
Of course I smile and laugh at nothing. I look at Bellamy who pats me on the back and just looks extremely relieved. I smile at him. Clarke beams at me. Bellamy then leaves the dropship. Where the hell could he be going?
Clarke takes the radio and calls to her mom.
"Clarke?" Dr. Griffin's voice asks from the other side
"Mom I need your help. One of our friends was stabbed by a grounder," Clarke says urgently into the radio.
They exchange a few words until Clarke gets the subject back to Finn
"Mom he's dying. The knife is still in his chest,"
She tells Jaha that Wells is dead and my heart aches for what Jaha must be feeling right now. Suddenly the ship shakes violently and the radio goes dead.
"Raven what happened?" Clarke asks
"It's not the radio. It's the storm," Raven confirms
Octavia walks in soaking wet with cups of Monty's moonshine.
"Octavia are you alright?" I ask
"Yeah I'm fine," she says but she's shivering from the cold.
"Here," I say and take off my jacket and put it around her.
"Thanks," she says.
"The storms getting worse. Monroe close the doors," Clarke instructs
"We still have people out there," Monroe responds.
"Monty and Jasper aren't back yet," Octavia says.
"Neither is Bellamy," Monroe states. I look at Octavia who looks angry at the mention of Bellamy. I wonder what happened.
"I'll go get them if I'm not back in five minutes close the doors," I say
"No it's too dangerous," Octavia says grabbing me.
"Don't worry about me just help him," I say pointing to Finn.
"Dammit Robby, I cant lose you again just stay here!" Octavia yells.
"I agree they're smart they'll find somewhere to ride it out," Clarke says
"I'll be fine Octavia, but if I'm not, you can keep the jacket," I say then turn around and run out before they can respond.
I mentally curse myself for not saying that I love her and telling a stupid joke instead. I sprint to the gate trying my best to keep my balence because of the wind. I get to the gate and see Bellamy dragging the unconscious grounder from earlier into camp.
"Get him in the ship!" I yell at the top of my lungs.
I help him carry the grounder back into the ship.
"Hey they're back," I hear a voice yell as we pile in.
"Bellamy?! What the hell are you doing?" Octavia asks.
"It's time to get some answers," Bellamy says
"You mean revenge!" Octavia says.
"I mean intel. Get him upstairs," Bellamy says
"What is this?" Octavia says to me.
"I don't know I saw them dragging him through the gate," I respond.
"Bellamy we're not gonna torture this grounder," I say.
"Bellamy he's right, it's not who we are," Clarke insists.
"It is now," Bellamy responds.
"Octavia, I promise I'll do everything I can to stop this," I say following them up the ladder.
"Tie him tighter!" Bellamy commands the struggling grounder.
"Bellamy that's enough!" I say stepping between him and the the grounder.
"Robby get out of the way. No talking your way out of this one," Bellamy says.
I pull out my knife and put it up to his throat. He stops and looks at me with anger.
"I'm not talking. We tie him up then that's it. When the storms over we let him go. understood?" I say
"No not understood. You don't give orders around here Kane and until you realize that—"
"Like I told you all those weeks ago, I'm not giving orders, I'm making a deal. Tie him up we get him to talk in a way that doesn't involve torture then we let him go. We are NOT grounders," I say pushing the knife harder against his skin, but not enough to break.
"Robby, it's okay," Octavia says
"Bellamy, he was protecting me. You didn't have to do this," Octavia pleads
"This isn't about you. This is about all of us," Bellamy says
"You did that for all of us?" Octavia asks looking at the grounder's bloodied up face.
"I did that for Finn and Jasper. And Diggs and Roma," Bellamy responds.
"Bellamy it wasn't him. For all we know he was the one who saved our lives with the foghorn," I say hoping Bellamy will listen.
"You don't know that!" Bellamy yells getting annoyed.
"We need to know how many there are and why they're killing us!" Bellamy says
Bellamy looks at the grounder with hatred and says "he's gonna tell us right now."
"Bellamy no, please" Octavia begs
"Miller get her out of here! And him to!" he points at me.
I get my knife and point it at Miller.
"Back up!" I say
Bellamy smiles and shakes his head.
"Robby, put down the knife," Bellamy says condescendingly.
"Alright listen. Give me and Octavia twenty minutes to get through to him. If that doesn't work... he's all yours," I manage to say.
"Robby no!" Octavia pleads.
"Octavia, have a little faith," I say with a smirk.
"Finn doesn't have twenty minutes and I thought he was your best friend!" Bellamy snaps
"He has Clarke and Dr. Griffin," I retort with total confidence.
"Twenty minutes!" Bellamy says and he and his goons go back downstairs.
"Miller wait!" I say
He stops and turns around.
"Get me a water canteen... please," I finish.
He shrugs and comes back almost instantly with a full water canteen.
"Thanks man," I say and he leaves.
"I don't even think he speaks English. He might not understand us," Octavia says.
"He might not, but he gets thirsty just like we do," I respond and she curls her lips into the confident smile that I missed seeing.
