The 100 A Fresh Start Chapter 1 Walking away

by sissylks

When the door was finally open, and the all clear was given, they were like a herd of cattle. Bellamy backed away from it. He could wait, it didn't matter; nothing mattered anymore. He sunk back into the shadows, back to his small corner. He would wait for it to clear. He had no place to go anyway. Without Clarke, what difference did it make? #Bellamy #Clarke

The 100 A Fresh Start Chapter 9 A Wanted Man

Troy and the 6 survivors spotted into the rover with Abby and Marcus. They flagged it down, frantically waving their arms for help. Fear gripped the men . "Please help us," Troy said. "We're lost, trying to find Arkadia."

"Don't go out there," he warned them. "A mad man is killing people," George said.

"Mad man?" Kane questioned

"He butchered 4 of our people in cold blood" Troy said. "Strung them up like pieces of meat. It's dangerous out there."

"Wait a minute," Marcus said , trying to calm the men down "A mad man?" he asked

"Yes, one of those Earthlings, a grounder," they said "We made camp and he just attacked us in the night. He butchered four of our people before we got away," George said

"You got a look at what this mad man looked like?" Marcus asked.

"He had black bushy hair, and his eyes were black," Troy said "He was a monster."

"Marcus, we need to move," Abby said under her breath. She knew they were talking about Bellamy from the description.

"Follow the rovers tracks, they'll lead you to Arkadia," Marcus said.

"You're not going out there are you? You'll be slaughtered," Troy said "You need to take us to Arkadia, don't leave us out here like sitting ducks," Troy argued

"We have a man hurt that needs medical attention," Marcus said "We can't take you, you'll be safe, it's not too far, just stick to the tracks" Marcus said "We'll radio ahead and let Arkadia know you're on your way."

The six looked at each other. They could try and force the issue, maybe even over take Marcus and Abby, and steal the rover, but thought better of it. They continued on towards Arkadia on foot, following the rovers tracks as instructed.

Marcus and Abby continued onward towards Ilian and Octavia. Ilian met them when they reached the outskirts of Trishanakru lands a few hours later.

Once they got to the old shack, they went inside and were horrified at Bellamy's injuries.

His breathing was labored and he was dehydrated. His eye was swollen shut and Abby suspected his eye socked may even be fractured.

"My God," exclaimed Marcus "What did they do to you?" he whispered as he gently touched his forehead.

"We need to get to Arkadia," Octavia said "I'm going to kill the men that did this," she spat

"Calm down," Marcus said "Lets worry about him for now. We'll make sure the guilty ones pay," he said

"I don't know Marcus," Abby said "He could have internal injuries, plus radiation poisoning. They administered the marrow, I just hope its not too late," she whispered with concern. "I'm afraid to move him, but I would feel better if we could get him to medical."

Marcus went outside with Ilian, so he could talk privately. "Did he say anything?" Marcus asked.

"Not really, he was out of it, but we ran into some men on the way. They claimed a mad man killed their friends. They described Bellamy, and there were 4 dead men here when we arrived. He wasn't here, he was hidden in an old root cellar that I knew about. I'm afraid he may have actually killed these people," Ilian said. "I buried the bodies over there," he nodded towards the freshly dug graves."It was pretty bad. He had hung two in that meat house," Ilian said nodding towards the little building. The other two were out here in the yard, both had been speared." Ilian said. "It was like he was picking them off one by one, but in the shape he was in, I don't know how he was able to do it."

"We ran into the same men. I'm positive they were the one's Captain Rollins told us about. He said they were trouble." Said Marcus"

"You don't think his people will charge Bellamy with a crime, do you?" Ilian asked.

"I don't know. Right now, let's just focus on Bellamy," Marcus said

Arkadia:

When the 6 from the Albatross arrived in Arkadia, they were met by Jaha and Colonol Rollins.

"Marcus radioed us that you were coming," Rollins said

"Where are the others?" Rollins asked.

"We were attacked," Troy said "Four of our people were murdered in cold blood," Troy said.

"It was a mad man, he came out of nowhere and butchered Carter and Red. He called himself Blake'' said Mack

"He strung em' up in an old barn, like he was going to gut them," said Alan. Their story grew into a tale that made Bellamy sound like an animal. "He had long bushy hair and his eyes looked black. He was evil, possessed almost," Alan said.

"Others from the Albatross gathered and heard the stories, along with some of skaikru.

"Something needs to be done," Colonel Rollins said "He sounds like a mad man"

"We'll look into it," said Jaha. He suspected Bellamy, but he also suspected the men were exaggerating quite a bit. "Your saying He attacked without provocation?" Jaha asked

"Nobody did anything," Troy piped up. "He attacked our cabin at night, waited for us to come out and picked us off one by one. We finally locked ourselves in until morning and made a run for it."

"I need you to go make a report, and we'll look into it," Jaha said

When he was alone with Colonel Rollins. He asked the Colonel "How well do you know these men?"

"Troy and George even Alan, are pretty upfront. Carter and Lang, they probably asked for it, but Red and Joey, they're just followers. Are you going to do something about this Jaha?" Rollins asked "Or are you running a lawless camp here and allow murderers to get away with killing people?"

"No we can't tolorate murder, but we can't just convict someone without investigating the whole story either," Jaha said "We need to gather a team and find this (ghost killer) ourselves," said Jaha "I can't believe someone just attacked and started killing people without provication," Jaha said "If it's the person I suspect, there has to be an explination."

The people from the Albatross started mumbling among themselves. You could hear the fear in their voices. The 6 had described a monster, and the new comers were surrounded by forest for the first time. They were unsure and imagined a monster lurking about. Their worry grew and with it panic in the form of a mob.

Jaha talked them down as did Colonel Rollins "Everyone just go back to work," they tried to reassure them. "There are no monsters," they said.

But the crowds grew with the stories. Soon everyone was demanding justice. They wanted someone to pay for the murder of what was turning into 4 innocent men. Jaha knew he had problem brewing.
