Author's Note: I know this i a shorter chapter, but the way it ends felt right. I also want to let you all know that since I post chapters that are rather short I'm gonna try my best to update everyday or every other day, but seeing as I am 19 and have a job so I can pay for school I sometimes won't be able to. But I will try my best! If you want to follow me on Tumblr I'm impossible-clarkegriffin . Enjoy!
Since finding out that Clarke had been taken by the Mountain Men, Bellamy had a pit in his stomach. Anya said whenever they took her people; they'd find them weeks later dead at the base of mount weather. This worried Bellamy, he couldn't do this without Clarke, and he most definitely did not want the only other ark survivor along with him to be Finn.
They decided to leave Anya at camp, it's not like there was really anything left of it anyway. Sure there were guns, but if she used one should most likely wouldn't expect the recoil, or know how to work them. So Bellamy felt fine with his decision, and it was his decision since Finn of course believed that Anya should have came with them, because she knew the land better and knew more about the mountain men, and blah, blah, blah. Jesus Christ, he never heard anyone else who worried so much. On the Ark Bellamy was under constant worry about his sister being discovered, and he didn't worry as much as Finn worried now.
"You should do yoga or something." Bellamy said to Finn as he kept pointing out how Anya would know her way to mount weather a lot better than Finn.
"What?" Finn retorted, genuinely confused by the comment.
"You stress and worry, yoga I hear is suppose to help with reducing that." Bellamy smirked at Finn who looked less than amused. "You have got to lighten up, worrying about what's going to happen won't change what will happen, nor will it help."
"How can you be so calm right now?" Finn was obviously upset, raising his voice at Bellamy. "They have Raven, Clarke, and everyone who survived the battle. Anya basically told us they're going to end up dead in a couple weeks. Why the freaking hell are you calm?" Bellamy stopped walking and faced Finn, staring into his eyes.
"A good leader, even of times of difficulty, has to keep a calm and level head to properly evaluate the situation. It's not an easy thing to do, but I know freaking out like you're doing is not going to save our people." Bellamy stared at Finn a few seconds longer before turning on his heels and started walking towards mount weather. Finn had been giving the directions, seeing as Bellamy had never been to mount weather himself. Finn though, didn't seem like he was exactly sure of the directions he was giving Bellamy.
"Okay, so there should be the lake where Octavia got attacked by a giant sea snake coming up soon." Finn said, trying to remember the way.
"Why didn't you grab the map like I told you to?" Bellamy blew.
"I told you, it was right next to the gun powder that Murphy used to blow a freaking hole in the drop ship. It was burnt up worse than the grounders." Finn spat back. The mention of Murphy's name made Bellamy's neck tingle, obviously not in a good way. He could still feel the noose around his neck sometimes. He hadn't had the time to tell Clarke about what had happened, he figured if they somehow both managed to survive he would. Now as he made his way towards mount weather he wondered if he would still get the chance to even mention it. He wanted to see her reaction, although he also wanted to see her reaction to seeing him again in general.
They walked for what seemed like hours, until they came across a lake. "Hey, is this the lake with the giant sea monster?" Bellamy asked. Finn shook his head.
"It's not, I've never seen this lake before." Finn looked out to the water and noticed something floating in it. "Hey, Bellamy. Do you know what that thing in the water might be?" Bellamy looked in the direction Finn was pointing and saw what looked like a giant hunk of metal bobbing in the middle of the lake.
"I think… but it can't… Finn I think that's part of the Ark." Bellamy was baffled, they had forgotten all about the space station re-entering the atmosphere. They had been so consumed with Clarke and the others being gone, they hadn't given the ark any thought. Bellamy looked harder at the bobbing part of the Ark. " Finn, do you see that? On top of the Ark?" Finn squinted his eyes to see what Bellamy was talking about.
"Are those? People?" They looked at each other with amazement. "Do you know what this means?" Finn looked at Bellamy with excitement.
"It means," Bellamy started. "That we have back up for rescuing our people."
