Happy new year my loves.I'm so sorry for the wait, I've been incredibly busy lately and I know it's a bad reason but I haven't had the heart to write, hopefully this year I'll update more often.Thank you all for the reviews, follows and favourites, it makes me so happy, you keep me writing xx.

Abby

"Dawn bunker this is Clarke Griffin, I repeat this is Clarke Griffin" My daughters voice rings clearly throught the room.

It's on a loop, she's either continuously speaking or the message is stuck. We can't contact her, she can't hear us, but she is alive they made it to space. I see the relief on Octavia's face, her brother is safe, they are all safe. We won't see them for years but they are alive.

Its been a day since primfaya, all the clans have been settled and are now mourning the loss of their friends and family, many were lost. Miller looks distraught over the fact that his father gave his place up for him, I would've done the same for Clarke if they hadn't needed both of us, I dread to think of the years we'll be separated for.

Marcus frantically twirls the buttons in hope of contacting the others, even though we know they're alive we don't know what conditions they are in, they could be injured and Clarke could need help in treating them.

Hope fades slowly as time goes on, maybe we can't contact them, they're all alone.

Clarke

My sore body protests as I sit up, pain radiated from my chest, breathing is difficult until I wake fully, the nightmare subsides as I blink slowly. I'm alive. In Becca's lab. Alone.

Bellamy and the others are in space, my mother, Octavia and the clans are in the bunker. I tried contacting them but no answer, they could be dead.

Rolling off the uncomfortable sofa I stand and stumble towards my meager rations, thick nutritious paste it is, I sigh as I rip open the packet.

I can't tell how long I've been asleep but judging by the dryness of my throat I can guess it was longer than a day, sipping the water I make my way back to the radio room.

Flipping it on, I pick up the receiver, static fills the air, an empty void, clicking the button I start to say "Dawn bunker this is Clarke Griffin, can you hear me, over" nothingness answers me, the same as the last time. I repeat the line a few more times before giving up and reaching for the dial to set it to the ark frequency.

"Clar... hear... ar... okay?" my mothers voice crackles through the radio. Exhilaration bubbles up inside me, they're alive, my mom is alive, they made it, the bunker works.

"Mom, mom I can hear you, are you okay? How is everyone? How's Octavia?"

Voices crackle in but no proper words form, they can hear me but I can't hear them, I can speak to them, I'm not alone.

I breathe in and prepare to tell them that I'm still on Earth that the nightblood serum works, they will be able to come out of the bunker but we won't be able to see Bellamy and the others for at least five years.

"Mom, I'm not in space the nightblood works, the others... the others needed to leave, Octavia I'm sorry, Bellamy's in space I can't get contact but I know they are alive." I clear my throat and carry on "I'm in Becca's lab but I'll make my way to Polis soon, we can replicate my nightblood. I don't know what the surface looks like yet but there must be something. I'll try contacting the ark again, I love you mom, take care."

Sighing I close my eyes, I'm not alone I can wait for Bellamy, I just need to get in contact with him.

I twirl the dial to the ark frequency, mentally preparing what to say." Ark station this is Clarke Griffin, do you copy over" as expected there is no answer but I wait, the bunker took time so I'll give Bellamy a chance.

Bellamy

After hours spent on trying to fix the comms Raven finally says we're done, no more can be done to fix them as we don't have spare parts lying around.

I hold my breath as I flip on the radio static blares from the speakers, setting it to what I remember as the bunker frequency I speak "Dawn bunker this is Bellamy Blake, come in over" almost immediately cracked garbled speech replies, I don't know who it is but it is a relief they are alive, Octavia is safe.

Even though the pain of losing Clarke is fresh I am relieved to know that my sister is alive, she can do this, she can lead the people of the bunker and help them survive.

"Dawn bunker? O are you okay, is everyone safe?" I ask, more incoherent speech answers me. I decide to carry on as they can't answer me "Octavia, Clarke... Clarke's dead, she didn't make it, we waited for her but primfaya hit, there was no time. Tell Abby... tell her I'm sorry." A sob escapes me as the pain hits me once more, "I... I loved her O, I loved her and never told her" I wipe my tears when I see Monty at the door, clearing my throat I say "I'll speak again soon, hopefully your radio will be fixed then, I love you O."

Monty awkwardly coughs and says "I've got the algae running, wanna try the first batch? " I smile and answer "Sure".

Clarke

"I'm here I'm alive!" I scream into the radio, but he doesn't hear me. Tears flow freely from my eyes, he thinks I'm dead, he doesn't know that I'm alive.

Okay so let me explain the way the communication goes, the ark can talk to Clarke but the don't know it's Clarke, they think its the bunker because Clarke can't speak to them and the bunker and Clarke can talk to each other but the bunker can't get in contact with the ark, dies that make sense.Anyway this year I hope to update at least one of my stories per week. Love you all Liya xx
