Chapter 5
Clarke's POV
Clarke screamed and then everything went black.
When Clarke could finally see clearly again she saw she was back in that room with Dr Cooper. Clarke felt something dripping down her forehead but when she tried to rub it off to see what it was she forgot that there were cuffs around her still. Clarke felt something tight and painful on and around her head. She started to freak out again and pulled at the restraints again.
"Oh, i see you are awake again." Andrew said as he looked to his watch. "A little bit too early. Well I guess you will have to be awake for the rest of the procedure."
"What procedure? You mean that vision thing or whatever wasn't it?" Clarke said frantically.
"No it was not. That was just for me to see inside your mind and see what you are thinking about. This" He said pointing to my head " Is a crown that will be placed in your head. We will have to drill it slightly into your head and then we will begin some more tests."
"What the hell are you thinking? You can't drill into my head! Are you insane?" Clarke was screaming.
" Please relax Ms Griffin. The more you panic the more this will hurt, and it is pretty painful as it is so just sit still."
"Are you kidding me? Of course I'm panicking! Your drilling into my head! Sto-" Clarke was saying before she screamed in agony. This was the worst pain she ever felt. She couldn't stop screaming but had to try when she tasted the blood drip into her mouth.
"Okay Clarke, right now we are testing your brain waves in comparison to people have not been exposed to any radiation. So just sit still while the crown runs its tests." Andrew said as he smiled down to Clarke. Her eyes were full of tears but she couldn't cry because she didn't want anymore blood to run into her mouth.
The screws in her head were being tightened. Clarke groaned through her teeth. Please make this stop.
This continued for about 10 minutes. Finally he turned off the machine, it was still in her head but it was still and inactive. Clarke was beginning to feel numb to the pain. She was crying, she hated letting people see her cry but she couldn't help it and she didn't even care.
"Since we finished running the tests for today Im going to take the crown out and off your head." Andrew said as he was typing something into his computer.
He got up and went by her chair taking out a cloth from his coat pocket and wiping clarkes blood off her face then he reached down to press a button. This button was what would turn the machine on to pull it out. Slowly the 3 screws were coming out of her head. Clarke was gritting through her teeth holding her sobs in.
"Now was that so bad?" He looked to Clarke. "If had known you would be so easily affected by pain I would have put you back to sleep."
"You are sick." Clarke spat.
He looked to Clarke,This time he did not smile he did not do anything. He just walked away to his desk and picked up something that resembled a phone.
"You can bring her back now" He spoke into it. Andrew put down his communicator and walked back over to Clarke. He pressed a button on the side of her Chair that made Clarke begin to feel lightheaded and then pressed another that released her from the cuffs. She tried to move but she couldn't. She had no strength in her to do anything.
The same two guards came crashing into the room and picked her up by her arms dragging her out the door. While outside she heard at least two other people scream. Before she could even react she saw someone down the hall sitting in a chair slumped over. She looked so familiar. As she got closer her body was getting weaker and weaker, she was fighting her hardest to stay up. Then Clarke realized who it was. Raven.
"Raven!" Clarke tried to scream but it came out all raspy and low,but It obviously wasn't low enough for Raven not to hear her though because Raven's head shot up from the chair she was sitting in.
"Clarke?" She whispered as she squinted her eyes to see if her eyes were deceiving her. "Clarke! Are you okay?!" Raven screamed to her.
But before Clarke could respond, she was out. She was sort of thankful for that in a way because she wouldn't have known how to answer that question.
Bellamy's POV
Finn and Bellamy took shifts to keep watch that night. Theena offered to help but when it was her turn to watch Bellamy went to go wake her up. He knew how tired she was and when he saw her sleeping so peacefully he couldn't bring himself to do it, so he just took over her shift. It wasn't like he would sleep anyway. He never did.
When morning came, Bellamy woke Finn up and told him to watch over Theena while he tried to go find something to eat. As he ventured into the forest he didn't find much. Only some berries, and a small rabbit that was hiding by a tree. When he got back to camp he saw Finn trying to start a fire and Theena laughing at his terrible attempts. Bellamy smiled to himself.
"Here let me do it" Theena said to Finn and in a couple of seconds she did it.
"Put this on" Bellamy said to Finn handing him the rabbit. "Here have some" He gestured to Theena.
"Thanks!" She said as she stuffed a hand full of berries into her mouth.
"Whats our plan?" Finn asked.
"Go in, get our people, get out. " Bellamy responded. He didn't have a actual plan but that was the pretty much the outlining of it.
"We can't just wing it." Finn spat. "What do you think?" He asked Theena.
"Truthfully I really don't know. I don't know where they are being held or what exactly they are doing to them and why." she mumbled while she was eating the remaining berries in her hand. "We don't know where the guards are or how many guards are even watching them. We don't know anything"
"When do you have to be back there?" Finn asked.
"Technically yesterday.. But they understand if I'm a day or two late because of the risks there are of coming out here." She then started to panic. "But I need to get back as soon as possible.I have to bring back the medicine, if my grandma doesn't get it soon she's gonna get really sick and I don't know if they can fix it then and-"
"We are going to bring you back." Bellamy said trying to calm her down.
"Okay.. But I still want to help."
"Maybe you going in isn't such a bad thing." Finn said.
"How? You guys don't even where Mount Weather is, let alone how to get in to it."
"Just hear me out. You need to go give your grandma the medicine and we need to get out people. But like you said before none of us know anything thats going on in there. You can go in and scoop out the place while me and Bellamy study the perimeter and maybe we can go see if there are any survivors from the ark crash that can help us."
Bellamy wasn't sure about this plan. He didn't know if it was because it wasn't a sure thing or simply because Finn thought of it before he did.
"I could try. But I don't know when I'll be coming back out yet. It could be a few days or it could be weeks. What if its a long time from now? You can't let your people be there any longer than they have too. Mount Weather research ward is" She paused and Bellamy looked in her eyes and saw that she was fighting some bad memories out of her mind. "is.. uh. Its a sick place to be. Trust me."
"The longest we will wait for you is a week. If you aren't sent back out by then, then me and Finn will just go in on our own."
"Unless we find any more of our people." Finn butted in.
"Okay." Theena smiled. "Sounds like a plan."
"Alright we should start moving if we want to get there by dark." Bellamy picked up his stuff. " Lead the way kid."
Their journey to Mount Weather was rough. Although Bellamy considered himself to be in shape, Finn and him just couldn't keep up. They stopped at least 3 times to catch a breath. Not to mention when Bellamy got stuck in some weird form of quick sand and they had to find a big stick to throw to him to pull him up.
Bellamy figured they were getting close when Theena started to try and neaten her self out and get all of her stuff organized inside her bag.
"How much further?" Finn groaned.
"Not much. About a quarter mile" She replied.
When they got there, the group decided that they should stay back just in case there were some guards patrolling the perimeter. But even though they were about 500 feet away Bellamy still saw a part of the place. There was a huge Grey door and on it were the words 'MT W SAFE HOUSE'.
"So this it" Theena said awkwardly as she rolled from her toes to her heels. "If I don't get the chance to see you guys again, thank you."
"You don't need to thank us, we really didn't do anything, but your welcome." Finn smiled.
Bellamy laughed. "We should be thanking you."
Then Theena waved and started toward the door when Bellamy called her name and she came running back.
"Can you do me a favor. Well two favors." Bellamy asked.
"Mhmm" She replied.
"First thing, If you happen to see Clarke, Please tell her I'm alive." He said quietly.
"I really shouldn't do that, if they know your alive they will know you guys are coming for them and will come after you."
"Fine good point." He paused, then his face lit up. "If you see her tell her this 'Who we are and who we need to be to survive are two different things' okay? She will understand what it means, just pass along that message."
Theena nodded her head. "And the second favor?"
"Kick some ass for me in there" Bellamy smirked and then she pulled him in to a hug. At first Bellamy was shocked. She seems so mature for her age but really she is just a little girl who is probably as scared as he is, so Bellamy hugged her back.
"May we meet again." He whispered.
Clarke POV
When Clarke woke up she felt very drowsy and out of it. She tried to sit up but then she screamed.
"AHH my head" She groaned.
All of a sudden she felt movement on the other side of the room by the other bed.
"Oh hey roomie! You're finally awake." The girl said.
"How long was I out for?" Clarke asked.
"About a day and a half. Maybe longer. When I came in you were already sleeping."
"Why so long?" Clarke said before screaming in agony about her head.
"Well apparently they ran the tests on you about 10x harder than they did with anyone else." The girl replied. "Wait whose your doctor?"
"Andrew Copper? Cooper? I don't really remember. Hes tall and pale and-"
"I know him." she said in disgust. "Figures he did that to you. He's an Asshole"
Clarke laughed. Who was this girl she certainly wasn't part of the hundred. She was a young short girl. Clarke wasn't sure she could trust her, she didn't even know her name, let alone why she was in here with her. She thought she might as well ask, they are going to be living together.
"What are you here for?" Clarke asked.
She laughed to herself. "Besides the fact that they need me to do their dirty work and go outside to collect supplies?You see, Im considered 'Worthless' to these people but they had to put me somewhere, so here I am" She smirked. "What about you? Are you with those people from space?"
"uh yeah. How did you know about that?"
"Ive been outside, Theres a lot of gossip going around" She joked. "Im Theena by the way"
"Nice to meet you" Clarke said wearily. Her first instinct was to not trust her. Clarke had given up her her 'always trusting everyone' attitude a long time ago. But something about this girl made Clarke feel like she could. She was sweet and funny and it was obvious how much she hated these people.
"I get it don't worry. I understand, its hard to see who you can trust and who you can't." She paused. "But I promise you I'm on your side. " She said as she gave Clarke a hard look. Clarke saw it in her eyes she was genuine. "Well I should probably gather my stuff together, I have questioning in about 2 minutes." She said looking to the clock on the while.
"Im Clarke" She smiled "By the way."
Theena dropped all of her stuff on the ground and ran over to Clarke's bedside.
"Your Clarke?" She yelled, her eyes wide open with shock.
"Yes?" Clarke replied quietly.
"Listen to me Clarke we don't have much time they are coming for me right now. I was outside when your people were captured and while I was on my way back, I found people, some of your people. They are alive Clarke and they are coming for you."
"Who is alive?!" But the girl just ignored her and continued.
"They talked about you so much….. well fought about you" She shook her head as she snapped back to being completely serious. " they kept saying how you were the leader? Is that true" She asked. Clarke could hear the guards coming down the hall.
"Yes."
"Okay good. I can not tell you who they are because then these pricks will know and will go after them" The guards bursted into the room coming to grab Theena. "I have a message for you. Listen carefully!" She screamed as she pushed the guards back and ran to Clarke again.
"Who we are and who we need to be to survive are two very different things." She whispered to her.
"What does that mean?" Clarke screamed as Theena was pulled away, kicking and screaming.
"HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW?" Theena yelled to Clarke.
She was trying to fight of the two guards. She kept kicking them when they would pick her up and punching them when they would grab her arms. She was strong, and quick to think. She always anticipated their move which made Clarke think this wasn't the first time she ever fought against them. When they Finally secured her she looked to Clarke as if she was thinking what to say. Then her face lit up.
"Clarke! Clarke!" She screamed. Clarke looked up at her. "May we meet again." Theena said and then nodded her head,probably hoping Clarke understood.
The guard slammed the door closed and Clarke was alone. What did that message mean? Who could possibly be out there. There was no one. Everyone was in here or dead.
Maybe survivors from the ark crash? No I doubt that. Why would they being sending a message about surviving when they have only been on the ground for a day. Think Clarke think.
'Who we are and who we need to be to survive are two very different things.' …. The quote sounded familiar. Who did she here this took her a while to figure it out because she was going through all the reasonable solutions of who could have said. But then someone popped into her. Someone who was an unreasonable candidate.
"Holy shit…" She whispered. "Bellamy"
