Chapter 10: EndGame
"No! Clarke! You have to help her, you have to help Clarke!"
—-
Jaha:
"Thelonious." Behind me, I hear Abby call for me by saying my first name. Rarely am I called by it, but when I am then it's most likely Abby doing it.
I turn around, facing Abby.
"Yes?" My voice is clear and strong, and Abby responds with her voice set in the same manner.
"We need to talk." She states, I feel my mood drop. Those words rarely lead to anything good.
But instead of showing any disappointment or concern, I smile, and place my hand out in front as a gesture when I say, "lead the way."
Abby walks ahead leading me to a private location were we can discuss concerns. Exhaustedly I follow behind.
"What is it Abby?" I inquire after she pulls to a stop at the hidden tucked away side of a building and releases a long sigh.
"I just needed to make sure you're okay. You ran out of there pretty quick, and I thought this might be something you want to discuss in private?" Abby speaks,
"Yeah, I just, I-I needed air." Thoughts roam around my head, the weather is hot and humid. I feel a little dizzy and my throat dry, instantly recognising it for dehydration. Good, I desperately needed to get out of this conversation.
I'm not in the mood to talk to Abby concerning emotions.
"Well, I'm going to get some water, I trust you to take care of yourself." And I'm walking away to help my dry throat. Leaving those to Abby as my parting words for now.
You see, the truth is. As I had sat in that sudden meeting with Abby, and a few other members hearing Abby talk about Clarke...how she's a great leader,
a great daughter.
How she's proud as a mother.
...I could only think of Wells. My son.
All the things he'll never get to do.
The things I'll never get to see him accomplish.
The things he'll never feel.
The things I should've said to him.
Should've done...shouldn't've done.
It was all...too much. I had to leave. I needed fresh air, I still need it.
Bellamy:
My eyes open slowly, my arm is draped lazily across Clarke's middle: my other hand tucked in her hair, my fingers tangled in her bright golden hair and the faded streaks of red.
Her arms are wrapped around me as well, and the blanket covers us both. Both our body heat and our blanket keeping us warm. Like a cocoon.
I lay in my boxers, and Clarke sleeps in one of my shirts, but it's so big on her it looks a little like a thigh high dress. I smile at the thought.
Our legs are tangled together,
I could stay here forever, but we have duties to attend to, and to stay here all day is just out of reach at this point in time.
Her eyes flutter open, my gaze landing in her beautiful blue eyes.
to awaken to see me smiling down at her looking so happy I must look like a complete idiot.
"I think I'm starting to like these mornings." Clarke whispers with a sleepy smile and aura to her voice.
"Starting to?" I gasp with mock offence, she chuckles and hits me playfully.
"You know what I mean." She sighs with a smile tugging at her lips.
It's been a good day, after everything, Madi is dealing well, and she's established she's never going to do anything like that again. She knows she is forgiven.
Plus, Clarke's and my injuries are healing really quickly.
"I don't want to get up yet.." Clarke sighs, a pout on her face and her eyes like a puppy's.
then a loud knock hits our ears as someone knocks loudly on the door.
Clarke the makes protesting whining noises as she nuzzles her face to hide it in my neck.
I absentmindedly start to run circles on her back with my left hand, leaving my right hand on the back of her head, my fingers entangled in her hair still.
I start to make soft shushing noises, as she hums soothingly.
"Come on guys it's time to get up!" Raven yells through the door.
"We'll be out in a minute!" I call to her, the last thing I hear is Raven walking off muttering "sure," a smile to her words causing me to laugh silently.
After a moment of laying there, I roll out of bed clasping Clarke's wrist in my hand and try tugging her out of the bed.
"Come on Clarke, you know we have to get up," I state as I smile and laugh at her face as she makes a disgusted look at the thought of getting up.
"I don't want too~" Clarke whines pouting again. After a bit of going back an forth of me laughing and smiling like an idiot and Clarke making invalid claims to get us to stay in bed, I finally manage to pull her out, but that doesn't stop her sending a disapproving look at the door before getting ready.
I smile and shake my head happily,
How I love this girl.
Clarke:
I couldn't help but shoot an angry look at the door before getting dressed, pulling on some dirty, ripped jeans and a faded blue top with my bra and underwear underneath.
As I was pulling on my boots I look and realise Bell had been laughing and smiling at me almost this whole time.
"What, Bell?" I ask bewilderedly, but with a smile on my face.
"Nothin'" he smiles, "I just thought it was pretty funny how you looked at the door just now, Princess."
I smile as he says that approaching him slowly.
"Oh? You thought that was funny did you?" I smile, placing a slight threatening tone to my voice. "Yeah," he nods, his eyes sparkle as he tightly closes his lips together failing at suppressing a laugh.
His eyes widen in slight terror when he realises I have my hands behind my back holding something from his view—the fact he hadn't seen me grab it just added confusion to his face.
Quickly I smack him with the soft pillow laughing as he frantically tried to block me and dives for the bed grabbing his own pillow.
Before either of us knew it, we were having a pillow fight full of laughter, fun, and smiles.
...along with a few threatening but playful jokes here and there.
Then suddenly he's tackling me and has me pinned down to the bed by my arms, I'm smiling giving up on trying to out of his hold as he plays the smuggest look across his features.
"You feel so proud don't you?" I cackle, looking at him with a 'oh, really?' Look in my eyes; in response he just states "actually I do," and gives me a smug smirk.
He leans down and kisses me sweetly, just as it was turning to another road - with Bell still holding me down my arms trapped to the bed underneath and him smiling hovering over me, his knees and arms resting on the bed, he continues to kiss me but then the door bursts open, he slowly but quickly at the same time breaks our kiss and swings his head to the doorway saying "don't you know how to-" but stops dead.
Bellamy:
I'm in the middle of kissing my girlfriend when the door to our bedroom suddenly bursts open. I break the kiss and look to see who interrupted us without breaking my hold on Clarke, saying; "don't you know how to-" but stopping instantly when I see Marcus Kane standing there in the doorway a surprised and slightly amused look on his face.
It's only then I realise how bad this position looks, I'm literally almost laying on top of Clarke, holding her arms down above her head pinning her down to the bed and had just been kissing her, oops well, Clarke will be hearing from her mother about his later.
In the corner of my eye I see Clarke turn beetroot red, slowly after seeing that my brain started working again I start to crawl off of Clarke, Kane-as I do this, stutters "um, sorry, i...uh, I'll leave you two alone..talk later."
Then he basically slams the door and bolts down the hallway, I laugh again hysterically barley able to contain it from causing me to making me fall to the ground in the amount of hilariousness my brain says it is. Honestly, it's pretty funny.
Then Clarke squeals, "Bell!" And smacks me on the chest embarrassment pulling her hands up to my chest and resting her head against me.
Wrapping my arms around her, I say; "come on, wouldn't want to give them any wrong ideas."
I wink at her when she looks up causing her to blush again.
Murphy:
I pick up my dagger and slide it's into its place, smiling in amusement at how much of a routine this is now.
Emori saunters into the room carrying a black bag in her hand,
"Morning John." She hums, chucking the bag on the bed and turning back to face me,
"Morning 'Mori," I smile creeping closer to her,
"you look like you just woke up," she chuckles at me running her hand through my hair, making it more messy.
"Oh this? This is natural beauty 'Mori, thought you knew that." I laugh affectionately, turning to the bed and opening the bag, Emori chuckles and sighs happily,
"What's all this?" I ask Emori with a confused but serious edge, without looking to her as I start to examine what's inside.
"I'm going for a walk, I was thinking I'd go down to the river. Maybe have a swim." She smiles longingly,
"Emori the water might not be safe. We haven't tested the river yet." I state concerned narrowing my eyes,
"Well, if the water supply we are using now is good, this one should be too. Plus, the river was fine the first time. And that was a war of bombs." She explains quickly, I take a deep breath, knowing that her mind is made up, there's no changing it now.
But that doesn't mean I have to let her go alone. And there's only one way now I'll be able to quell my worry:
"Alright" I sigh warmly as I rummage around in my draws,
"What are you doing?" Emori asked me with a confused tone,
"I'm going with you." I smirk stuffing my things in the bag and running my hand through my hair.
"Alright." She smiles mimicking me with a laugh.
Monty:
"Hey Harper~" I sing as I approach her, throwing my arm around her shoulder. "Hey Monty." She smiles at me, at that moment jasper struts over to me, something 'sassy' looking in his eyes.
I roll my eyes happily as he approaches. knowing jasper as long as I have, I know that his 'sassy' look always either means he has a plan; or made something new with the herbs.
"Listen, Monty-you have got to try this," just then he whips a small see-Through capsule containing a bright green liquid.
I can't help but wonder what feeling this one will get me to experience?
"What's this one's name?" I ask while examining it closely,
Jasper snatches it back to his chest and encloses it in his fist-hiding it from view. With mock offence he practically yells, "this one? This, one?!" He takes a small breath before continuing; "this!" He shrieks, "is a masterpiece." He says this so smoothly and in such a low voice, any lower he'd be whispering.
"Okay, okay" I chuckle, "what's the masterpieces name?" I ask.
Jasper grins and holds it up in front of my eyes dangling it in between his index finger and his thumb.
"This... is 'The masked Raptor..' in short: 'TMR'" he smiles.
I laugh "cool, sounds a little deadly although."
Jasper shakes his head seriously, "not deadly dangerous, deadly fun." He corrects,
"What?" I laugh confused. But at the same time it makes sense to me.
Jasper smiles at the glint in my eye and passes me the see through pill, and pulls another one out for himself from his pocket. The liquid sloshing inside.
As we pop them into our mouths, biting down into the capsule releasing the liquid, A giddy Clarke Griffin bounces down to us.
"Hey guys." She smiles, it's then I notice that she has a bag slung over her shoulder-"were are you going?" I ask when I feel the drug begin to take affect.
Harper:
"Were are you going?" Monty asked, but then he Began to wobble in his stance,
"I'm going to visit the graves at the drop-site." Clarke responds,
"Is Bellamy going with you?" I ask,
"No, I'm only going for a little bit, he'll be fine, I'll be fine." She smiles, "plus. I think I need to see them on my own." She mumbles quietly,
"I understand." I say quietly, smiling sympathetically,
It's at that moment that jasper starts giggling uncontrollably, which causes Monty to start giggling as well,
"gee guys, what was in those pills?" I chuckle. Monty turned to me slowly, his face reading of a serious manner, he placed his hands on my shoulders.
"Harper..." He mumbled, "Monty?" I question, then all of a sudden he breaks out into this huge smile,
"Did you know that you're allll purple and blue?" He whispers peering closer to my face, his eyes squinting a little.
I chuckle. "Clarke you might want to go on that walk now, before they trap you here." I smile, laughing looking at Clarke.
She hums and nods her head, "I think I will." Chuckling, she begins walking away.
At the sounds of Clarke leaving jasper looks up from his hands and Stops smiling and laughing when his gaze catches Clarke, "no, Clarke don't leave!" He yells panic flashing through his eyes, "Clarke!" He yells again, a pout to his lips, Clarke turns, smiles, blows him a quick kiss the spins back around and continues to walk on her journey,
"No, clarkeeeeeee!" Jasper yells now on his knees and his hands in the air, I can't help but laugh at the scene in front of me, it reminds me a little of a film I once watched.
My laugh causes his head to snap sideways to look at me.
"You're not going to leave are you Harper?" He pouts, "no, jasper. I'm going to stay and make sure you guys don't do anything stupid." I state,
"thank you." Jasper sighs, making me laugh uncontrollably.
"Harp'" Monty mumbles tugging on me sleeve, "yes, Monty?" I ask smiling at how adorable they are both being,
"I love you." He whispers, and I smile. "I love you too. Now let's see what you guys do next." I chuckle, I am looking forward to telling him about all of this when he sobers. I smile at the thought. and maybe a little at my predicted reaction.
Lincoln:
I slip my arms around Octavia's waist and kiss her temple as she talks to Raven and Wick,
I watch the camp as I hold on tightly to Octavia. "Hey, Bell." Octavia hums looking to her older brother,
"Hey, O." He hesitates,
"Have you seen Clarke?" He questions looking around,
"No." Octavia states with a smirk,
"Missing your princess?" She teases. And Bellamy blushes bright red, as Octavia, Wick and Raven laugh.
"I have, She was just talking to Harper and the guys. But I think I saw her leave camp, if you want to know where she went then you should probably go ask Harper." I explain.
Bellamy's eyes widen with worry
"She left camp? Alone?" He panics as he starts to speed off, "Don't worry Bellamy! There's no one out there that's going to hurt her!" I yell.
"It's still dangerous!" Comes my reply from Bellamy before goes completely chasing after Harper.
"My brother, I swear..." Octavia sighs playfully, and we all laugh.
Bellamy:
"Bellamy, why are you swirling around in a bunch of colours?" Jasper asks me trying to poke me in the chest as I approach, I look at him questionably and dodge the 'poke', i walk up to Harper, "what's up with them?" I ask motioning towards a giggly Monty and Jasper poking eachother in random places over their upper bodies.
"Jaspers new masterpiece." She laughs hysterically. And I sigh, "of course." I whisper shaking my head not surprised in the least,
"Anyway, where did Clarke go? Lincoln told me she left camp. Alone." I ask an unwanted edge coming through in my words, Harper looks confused. "She didn't tell you?" I shake my head no in response,
"Ah, well she went to see the graves at the drop site, She'll be back soon. She said it was something she needed to do on her own." Harper reassures me.
I run my hands through my hair,
"I'm going to go find her." I speak aloud then leave the room in a rush to grab some supplies.
Clarke:
I'm already on my way back to camp, I couldn't deal with staying too long.
I see Bellamy leaving as I approach the camp gates, "hey," I smile.
he looks surprised at first but then all his features soften and he envelopes me in a hug, "I was worried." he says into my hair.
I smile lovingly and kiss him before leading us back into camp feeling my heart warm.
"I don't want to lose you," he states,
"and you wont." I confirm, as we walk back to our friends. Our family.
