"Holy shit…" She whispered. "Bellamy"
No it can't be. He died. She saw Bellamy and Finn's burned corpses, well she assumed they were theirs. Clarke's mind began racing with ideas and theories about how they could be alive. But then an idea popped into her head that wasen't as great as the others.
Obviously these people knew about the 100 for a long time. They know about Bellamy and how he was a leader with her, so maybe they bugged the camp to listen in to us I mean that could be the only logical suggestion.
Clarke started to tear up, she wanted Bellamy to be alive so bad. No stop crying Clarke. She told herself. You need to think of a plan, you can't rely on anyone else to help your people, you're the leader Clarke now step up to the plate and deal with this. She continued.
Clarke wiped the tears she mistakenly let slip by her and sat on her bed. She was going to get her people out, no matter what it took.
Bellamy's POV
It had been about 3 days since Bellamy and Finn left Mount Weather. They had fought most of the time over which of their plans were thought that they should stay around Mount Weather until they get more news from Theena. Finn on the other hand, thought they should go see the ark crash and see if there were any survivors that could help them.
Bellamy fought as best as he could against that option. He offered trying to find Octavia and lincoln or going back to their camp. Bellamy did not want help from the people who floated and killed his mother just for having another child and for putting his little sister in prison just for being born. He hated the people from the ark. They were hypocritical assholes who don't care about anyone but themselves.
After countless fights between himself and Finn, Spacewalker ended up convincing him to go see the ark crash. Bellamy had to put his personal feelings aside because who was he kidding? They needed any extra help they could get, and Lincoln and Octavia alone wouldn't be enough. Thats even if they could find them. So on they went, to find any remaining people from the ark.
"Are you sure its this way?" Bellamy asked grumpily.
"Yes." Finn mumbled.
"Are you sure? Cause it looks like we are in the middle of nowhere." Bellamy said.
"The smoke was coming from the left of our camp, so we just have to retrace our steps back and then go left. Plus we are right by the lake where we made camp the other night, We aren't in the middle of nowhere." Finn responded.
Finn follows their foot prints and signs that they left behind going to Mount Weather to find their way back to the lake. It was like the time that they went to go find Jasper after he was kidnapped by the grounders. Finn was great at it, he read and saw every sign.
"The lake is just up ahead" Finn yelled behind to Bellamy.
When they got to the Lake Finn asked if they could stop for a few minutes for a bathroom break. Bellamy wanted to yell at him to just hold it in until they got to camp but he decided against it in order to prevent another argument.
Bellamy reached into his backpack and pulled out the remaining squirrel that Finn and him had last night. By the time that Finn got back to him he finished it and threw the bone into the grass.
"Alright." Finn said as he unconsciously fixed himself up "We have to go thi-"
Finn was cut off by a flock of birds that flew right over their head and then by a pack of deer that ran quickly past them.
"What the fuck was that!" Bellamy screamed in confusion.
"Its the Fog! Follow me I know a place to go!" Finn said as he ran into the forest.
As soon as Finn said that Bellamy quickly followed behind him. He didn't like Finn but he trusted him. Well he thinks he trusted him. He knows Clarke trusts him so if she does then so does he.
They ran as fast as they could running for what Bellamy thought was aimlessly. Bellamy turned around the see the fog quickly behind them. He pushed himself to go a little faster.
"Where the hell are we going!" Bellamy screamed.
"Its this place tha-"
"Watch out!" Bellamy screamed as he pulled his arm toward him and away from a big fallen tree on the ground.
"Thanks!" Finn said as he continued to run. "Its right over here hurry!" He finished as he reached down and pulled the latch up letting bellamy step down before he did and then slammed the door shut.
"Where are we! Its pitch black in here." Bellamy asked.
"There should be a flashlight around here somewhere." Finn said as he was searching aimlessly in the dark. "Here I got it" as he flicked the on switch.
"Thats what you call a flashlight? Its so small and barely working!" Bellamy said angrily.
"Don't worry there should be some candles that me and Clarke left here somewhere."
Clarke's been here? Bellamy was just standing there a little shocked. He let go of a breath he didn't realize he was holding. Why would Clarke and Finn know about this place and not tell anyone about it.. Not tell him about it.. Why was he getting so mad about this? He felt his body start to shake with emotion and as much as he tried to stop it he couldn't. So Bellamy dealt with this the way he usually does: Transfer his emotions into scarcasm..
"Aw how sweet, Spacewalker and the Princess have their own secret hideaway." Bellamy said sarcastically.
"Shut up Bellamy" Finn said as he light the candles he found on the table.
"But wait.. What about your other girlfriend?" Bellamy smirked. He knew he was going a little to far but he didn't care. Finn struck a nerve when he mentioned Clarke and he needed to get him back for it.
"Don't get yourself into things you don't understand, Blake." Finn said as stepped closer to Bellamy .
"Oh I understand Perfectly." Bellamy said as he did the same as Finn and stepped closer.
They stood like that for about 30 seconds. Neither of them spoke because they knew it was thin ice and if someone said the wrong thing all hell would break loose. So they just stood there.
Finn broke the silence as he walked away toward the cabinet. "This is stupid we shouldn't be at each other throats. We should be thinking of a plan or something."
"If you say so Spacewalker" Bellamy responded as he went to sit on the couch. "Holy shit!"
"What happened?" Finn asked frantically as he ran toward Bellamy.
"Im sitting on an actual Couch! Wow this is great." Bellamy said as he sprawled out.
Finn laughed and then went back to Cabinets. He opened two of them until he got to the third and grabbed something out of them.
"Hey, you want some?" Finn asked gesturing toward the bottles of alcohol in his hands.
"Of course" Bellamy laughed as he got up to grab the bottle of Vodka in Finn's right hand.
"Good choice." Finn laughed as he looked to his bottle in disgust. "Rum and me aren't a very good mix but what the hell." He shrugged sitting on one of the chairs at the table.
For a while they just sat there. Taking large sips of their drinks. Neither knew what to say. This was the first time they were really alone. In the beginning they had Theena to keep them from killing each other and then they were just focused on getting back to camp but now, now there was nothing. Nothing to distract themselves from each other or the things eating at both of them.
"They will be okay." Bellamy said quietly and Finn looked up. "Clarke and Raven I mean. They will be okay."
"Im not in the mood for your bullshit Bellamy." Finn said as he took a large gulp of the rum.
"No I'm being serious. I know we don't get along but we do have something in common." Bellamy said trying to be sincere.
"Yeah? And what would that be?"
"Well, We both care for Clarke.." There was a little pause before he spoke again. "and the others and we both want to find a way save them."
"I know. But I just don't understand. You were a total prick when we first got here. Making people take off their bracelets in order to get food. Threatening to kill Clarke and then almost dropping her in the pit that day. And then all of a sudden you become this great leader that everyone loves and trusts and I don't get it, Im sorry I just don't understand." Finn said.
Bellamy laughed. "Trust me I don't get it either." But deep down he did. When Bellamy first got here all he cared about was Octavia and himself. But as time went on he cared more and more for the people around him. There wasn't any big and great explanation for it. It really was only because of one person. This person, as much as he wanted to deny it, was Clarke. She changed his outlook on everything and taught him he didn't have to be a dick to have respect. She told him how he wasn't a monster just someone who would do anything to protect the people he loved. She inspired him.
"Im going to try and get some sleep before I get a killer hangover tomorrow. We don't need any watch shifts because the door locks and I doubt anyone is out there in Fog right now." Finn said as he got up from the chair and started blowing out the candles. "I'll take the bed since you already look pretty comfortable on the couch."
"Sounds good to me." Bellamy said as he sat his drink down.
As Bellamy turned over onto his side about to fall asleep all he could think about was Clarke. He wondered when she would stop being the last thing on his mind before he fell asleep.
Clarke's POV
Clarke had been trying to think of something to do for what felt like forever. In reality had it only been an hour. She had nothing. Never in her life has she felt more frustrated.
"Clarke Griffin. Please come with us." Two men said as they bursted into her room.
"What do you want now? Is it more tests that are absolutely pointless just made to torture me?" Clarke ask scarcatically.
"No Ms Griffin, there are no tests for today. At least not for you." They said as they came up to her and grabbed her the arms as they dragged her down the hall.
As she was struggling to keep up with them she kept trying to peak into every window to see if anyone she recognized was in them. She only saw Sam and Tara and they were both out cold.
Finally they got to a door she didn't remember ever seeing. It was a big swinging door. When they pushed the door open Clarke was in this big spacious room with about 60 other people in it. There were tables and Chairs and up on the second level there was people waiting on line with trays in their hand.
The two guards let go of Clarke and blocked the door.
"This is your lunch hour. Enjoy." They said as walked out of what Clarke realized was the cafeteria.
Clarke looked around in confusion. She tried to see what was going and where she would. As she was looking around she saw a very familiar face. Jasper.
"Jasper!" Clarke screamed as she began to run up to him.
"Clarke!" Jasper screamed as he ran over and picked her up into a tight hug.
"What the hell is going on?" Clarke asked.
"Thats exactly what we are trying to figure out." he replied.
"We?" she asking questioningly.
"Yes, follow me." Jasper said as he grabbed Clarke by the wrist urging her to follow.
They arrived at a white round table when Clarke saw. It was Monty, Miller, Monroe, and Raven.
"Oh my God Clarke!" They are screamed.
"Hey guys" Clarke smiled as she took a seat.
"I have never been happy to see you. We were beginning to think that you died." Jasper said.
"What? Why?" Clarke asked.
"You haven't been in here at all, we haven't seen you in the testing center or in the rec room. I mean Monty said you guys were talking in the beginning but then he didn't see you anymore." Miller said.
"So this isn't your first time having lunch here? You guys all saw each other before today?" Clarke asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, after the first two days we were all sent to this rec room with tvs and Couches and we got to hangout for a little." Monore said.
"Then they split us up into groups of 5 and sent us to different rooms to get some tests done before they let us go to eat." Monty interjected before he was then interrupted by Raven.
"We saw mostly everyone from camp aside from a couple of others and you. After I saw you that time in hallway I was pretty sure you died. What the hell happened.?"
Clarke's head was spinning. She was so confused by this all. Why were they treating some of the kids so good and then her they were treating like a lab rat.
"They've been preforming tests on me. Really, really terrible tests." Clarke said quietly.
"Like what Clarke?" Monroe asked nervously.
Clarke really didn't want to relive those memories. But she needed others had a right to know that these people aren't as nice as they may seem.
"Okay.." Clarke said before she filled in everyone on her horrible experiences. When she was done she looked up to see all of their faces showed pure horror.
"I'm so sorry that, that happened to you." Miller said sympathetically.
Clarke shrugged. She didn't want to hear how sorry they all were. It wasn't their fault so why should they be apologizing. When she looked away from their table she saw Theena from the corner of her eye. She had a big black eye, a cut lip, and a huge bandage on her forehead.
"What are you looking at?" Jasper asked as he got up and tried seeing what she was staring at.
"Thats my roommate." Clarke said sadly pointing to Theena.
"The one who the black eye? She's not from our group." Monore said.
"She's from here."
"Well then I'm glad she has a black eye." Jasper said sarcastically.
"No, she's good. She's on our side." Clarke replied sharply. I think
Clarke looked for Theena again in the crowd of people. She finally spotted her next to this older lady laughing and hugging her. Clarke smiled.
"I got a roommate too that's from here." Raven started. "His name is really sweet." She smirked.
"Ooh Ravens got a crush." Jasper and Monty said in unison.
They all started laughing. It reminded Clarke of when they would all sit around the fire and get drunk off of moonshine and how everyone would be laughing. She missed that. Even with the grounders they didn't have a care in the world.
"Shutup!" Raven said as she hit them both in the arm. "He's just nice! Cant I think a boy is nice without someone interior motive behind it?"
"You can. But its rare." Monty replied.
"Speaking of people Raven takes a liking too.. Have any of you seen Finn, or Bellamy for that matter?" Jasper asked.
"Last time I saw either of them Finn went to go help Bellamy out with a grounder that was destroying him. I grabbed Clarke and pulled her inside. We had to close the door on them." Miller said.
"They wouldn't have just sat there waiting to die. Bellamy is a fighter we all know that, and Finn wouldn't have done nothing."
"Or maybe the grounder killed them or they did just wait to die."
"No thats impossible."
Clarke sat quietly as they all were talking about the fates of Bellamy and Finn. Of course she knew the truth but she couldn't say, they couldn't find out.
As soon as Miller was about to say something their was a noise on the speaker phone.
"Lunch is over please return to your room immediately."
The group all got up. Clarke didn't want to go back to the seclusion of her room. She didn't want to say goodbye to her friends.
"Clarke, please just your best to not get Killed okay?" Jasper joked.
"Ill try" Clarke tried her best to joke back.
"In all seriousness Clarke though, please be careful we need you." Raven said as she put her on her on Clarke's shoulder before she walked away.
They all said their goodbyes before a guard came up behind Clarke and grabbed her arm.
"Please come with us." He said pulling Clarke through the door and back to her room. "We hope you enjoyed your lunch they said as they closed the door.
Clarke is alone again. She walked to the light switch on the wall and flicked it off. All she wanted was to sleep. As she got under the covers and tucked herself in all she could think about was the message that Theena gave her.
Who knew if Bellamy was actually alive or these people were playing some sick joke on her. She hoped with everything in her that it was true. Bellamy Blake was such an ass, but she didnt know what to do without him. In the first few days of being down on earth Clarke probably wouldn't have minded him being gone, but now, she truly couldn't imagine having someone else be her co-leader beside him. She needed him.
That night Clarke fell asleep differently from all the other nights. That night she fell asleep thinking of none other than Bellamy Blake.
