Authors note: I really tried to get this chapter out as fast as I could. I going away today for fours days so I wanted to get this out before then.
Just an FYI: A couple chapters ago raven was talking to the group at lunch about her roommate. When I looked back on the chapter while writing this I see that when i posted this chapter that the website deleted his name. i don't know why but it did. So just a heads up Raven roommate is named Liam. Knowing that is kinda important for this chapter.
Anyways...
Enjoy!
Chapter 10
Bellamy's POV
They carried off Paul's body and Kane stood up and quickly headed for the door. Bellamy followed with Finn and the others on his tail. When they got passed the smoke he saw it worked. A huge smile appeared on his face. It actually worked, they were in and he was going to get his people back. He was going to get Clarke back.
They enter the building and saw all white. It was nearly blinding.
"Everyone stay in formation! Lets go!" Kane shouted as he kept his gun on his shoulder and led the group in.
Bellamy, Lincoln, Octavia and Finn stayed behind the rest. They had no idea what the 'Formation' was. They just wanted to go inside and get people out.
As they walked through the halls, Bellamy's eyes adjusted to the brightness, and he saw just rows and row of empty rooms.
He kept trying to peak through to see if he saw any familar faces but he didn't, they were either empty or had a person they had never seen before. The group kept moving behind. They were going slowly down the corridor when an alarm sounded and red lights began blazing on and off.
The guards from the ark didn't even flinch when they heard the alarm. They kept going, guns on alert. They had a mission to preform and they weren't going to let anything get in the way.
When they turned a corner the ark people were met with a group of guards from Mount Weather. Bellamy didn't know who started the shooting.
The group was in the back and were not seen by any of the Mount Weather people so they decide to turn around and run in the opposite direction.
They heard so many guns going off it made Bellamy and the rest of the groups ears rings. They didn't stop though. They kept moving and stayed on the lookout for anyone but they didn't find anyone.
After a few minutes Finn stops moving.
"Come on Finn, Theres no time for rest." Octavia says through gasping breaths.
"No, this is pointless." Finn replies.
"Its pointless that were trying to save our people?" Bellamy asks irritatingly.
"Thats not what I meant. I meant that obviously no progress is being made and we should split up and cover more ground." He explains.
"No no no. Everytime people split up in the horror movies everything goes to shit. " Octavia states.
"Finn's Right. We should split up, we'll find them faster that way. Octavia you come with me and go downstairs. Bellamy, you and Finn keep searching up here." Lincoln says.
"Im not leaving Octavia." Bellamy said protectively.
"She's going to be alright, she'll be with lincoln." Finn retorts.
"No way, Theres no chance in hell that Im going t-" Bellamy starts before Octavia interrupts.
"Its fine Bell, I can handle myself. Don't worry. Ill see you later big brother." She says as she plants a kiss on his cheek before grabbing Lincolns hand and running down the stairs.
"I swear if something happens to her, Ill kill him and then you."Bellamy growls.
"Yeah, yeah. Come on, this way." Finn replies.
Octavia and Lincolns POV
When they get to the stairwell they see that its Long with Black walls. The stairs seem to go on forever, in both ways.
It takes a moment for them to adjust but then Octavia is running in front of Lincoln down the stairs without even looking back to see if he's following her or not.
They run down at least 50 stairs before Lincoln notices a door and calls Octavia back up. The door is locked and the voiceover says that the stairway and all exits/ entrances into the stair well is on lockdown and will be unlocked when lock down is over.
"Shit! What are we going to do?" She screams.
Lincoln moves her to the side gently before he punches the key pad which causes it to break.
"What are you doing!" Octavia says frantically.
He ignores her and reaches in and pulls out the the wires causing the door to click open. A huge smile appeared on Octavias face and she pushed the door and ran through it. They both go down a very long hallway. It is different then the one upstairs. Instead of a white and clean hall, this one looks brown and kinda dirty.
They arrive at a crossroads and have two options on which hall to go down. Lincoln is moving one way but Octavia stops him.
"So I know that I'm totally afraid of this whole splitting up plan but, we need to split up." She says.
"No, I will not leave you. Come on, lets go this way." Lincoln replies.
"Lincoln, We need to split up. We need to find them. Finding my people is top priority right now. I can't be distracted by my fears, or by you." She says the last part Quietly.
"But-" He starts.
"No." She says as she reaches up and kisses him. "Go."
He turns on his heels and runs in the opposite direction. Octavia then does the same. She stays close to the wall, and her gun is on her shoulder. Quickly and quietly she walks down until she sees a arrow pointing down that says 'Recreation Room' and another pointing the opposite that says 'Home Offices'.
She decides to go toward the rec room since she can't imagine any of the hundred sitting in offices.
The hallway changes from the brown walls, back to the pristine white ones. Octavia is just about to cross another door when she hears footsteps and quickly backs up into the wall. She holds her hand over her mouth to muffle her breathing as she tries as best as she could to sink in to the wall. The guards don't seem to notice that she was there and they keep moving.
Octavia removes her hand from her mouth and exhales deeply before continuing down toward the rec room. At end of the hall she sees a door with a sign over it that says 'Recreation Room' and she runs up to it peaking her head into the window.
She smiles as she sees all these familiar faces, Like Miller and Raven and Monty, Monroe, Roma, Diggs and Jasper. They don't seem to notice her though because they were all doing their own thing. Completely oblivious to what was going on around them. Monty and Jasper were obviously arguing, as they usually did and Raven was talking to Miller on the couch.
Was this all that survived?
Octavia then tries to open the door and to her luck and is also surprised its not locked. She quickly swung it open and immediately all eyes were on her.
"Octavia?" the group whispered simultaneously (well for the most part) in shock.
She smiled at them all before she saw two guards coming after her. Miller quickly jumped in front of one and he knocked him down to the ground, while Jasper was fighting with the other one.
Jasper was obviously struggling, The guard is pushing his gun closer and closer toward his head and if it had been just a few more inches then he would have definitely been shot. Thankfully Octavia stepped in and went behind the guard and wacked him over the head with her gun which made him unconscious.
Jasper stares at Octavia from the floor. He's in total shock, all this time he believed that she was dead. Jasper quickly hops off the floor and flings himself on Octavia.
"Jasper" Octavia laughed as she stepped backward.
They hugged for a few more seconds before Jasper pulled back, still holding onto her shoulders.
"I thought you were dead." He said quietly.
"I could say the same about you." She smiled.
"But how? I didn't see you in the dropship! You never came inside! What happen-" He started ramblings before Octavia pulled him into a tight hug again.
"I will explain it all once I get you guys out." She said as she turned to the rest of the group only to get bombarded my Monty who, similar to Jasper, Also threw himself onto Octavia.
"Octavia!" Monty said as the rest of the group huddled around.
"Is this all that survived?"Octavia asked.
"No, There are some back in their rooms and in the caf and others are in quarantine, running tests." Miller said as he walked over to Octavia as well and gave her a comforting pat on the back.
"Hate to ruin the fun but, maybe we should get the hell out of here and save the reunions for later." Monroe said as she broke away.
"Always the joy killer aren't you, Monroe." Diggs said.
"I try." She smirked.
"She's right. Lets go, this place is creepy." Octavia said as she ran to the door and tried to open it.
"Its Locked!" She said frustrated.
"Wait a second." Raven said as she ran over to the guard's unconscious body and went through all his pockets, then finally found a key card around his neck. "Move." She said as she pushed passed miller and scanned the card causing the card to open.
They all ran out the door but then stood their clueless as to what to do next.
"Alright, This is the plan." Octavia spoke. "Get back to all your rooms, try and find any of the others and head towards Quarantine sections, find the exit and get back to the camp the ark people made."
They all keep staring at her, the only people who have made any movement toward the rooms were Raven and Miller. The rest just stared dumbfoundedly at her.
"GO!" she yelled and they all scattered.
Bellamy and Finns POV
It felt as if they were running in circles, Obviously they weren't, but it was just that everything looked the same. The rooms were identical except they each had a different pair of people in them .
They had to fight off two guards before and now were out of ammo so they took the fallen guards guns instead.
They kept moving though, with each step he hoped he would see someone he recognized in a room if not Clarke. Just someone to prove to him that they found them and that they have a chance of being reunited.
Finn and Bellamy heard shuffling coming to them because a herd of Mount Weather guards were about to turn the corner, there was too many and the two boys wouldn't be able to take on all of them by themselves so they both scrambled for a place to hide.
"Come on, this way." Bellamy whispered as he turned around and ran down a different hall.
After running past a couple of doors they find a door that is different from the rest. It has a cracked window with almost dried blood dripping down. It was unlocked and slightly opened so Finn pulled Bellamy in and they crouched down so they can stay hidden.
Bellamy looks around the room and sees that it is in shambles unlike the other overly orderly rooms. The guards pass and they both get up and take a look around.
"Over here" Finn calls out to Bellamy.
"What is it?" Bellamy asks.
"its a file cabinet, it probably will give us some inside information." He said as he tried to open the drawer. "Its locked."
"Step back." Bellamy says as he aims his gun and he hits the the sides of the cabinet causing it to loosen just enough for Bellamy to pull it open.
As soon as he opens it he pulls out about 2 folders only to realize that this is Clarke's File.
He sees that one folder is full of pictures which except for the one of her mug shot, she is completely unaware that a picture was being taken.
There was one in her compound on the ark, sitting at her table reading, another of her in her cell with all drawings everywhere. Theres one that Bellamy thinks is her as a kid and one of Clarke walking through the halls of the ark.
Then theres some that frightens Bellamy even more. He sees candid pictures from camp. Theres one of her on duty, and one of her by the lake, and one inside the dropship. He sees one of Clarke and Wells talking outside the camp walls and one of her when she was sick and Finn picked her up.
He couldn't believe what he was seeing. He could slightly understand how they got pictures from the ark. Theena did say that they had connection to it since the beginning, but what really bothered him was that they were spying on them on the ground. They knew everything that was going on and they waited for the right moment to attack.
"This is Clarke's file." Bellamy says Quietly.
"What? Let me see." Finn says and Bellamy hands over the folder of pictures.
Bellamy then opens the second folder. It is all her paper work and talks about her life on the ark and also on earth. It says literally everything about her. From her weight and height to her relationship with every single one of the hundred. He finds Finn's name first. It says 'Friend,ali, ex-Lover.' Bellamy flinches at that part and he doesn't know why, 'status: dead.' He then scans the list and finds his own name. 'Bellamy Blake: Leader (co), Partners, Hate turned into understanding turned to maybe friendship. status- dead.'
He shook his head and turned the page. The next page talked about her life in Mount weather. It says that she has a certain blood type and body reaction then the rest. It then went on to say that they will start preforming tests on her immediately after she enters.
He read all of the things they were doing to her, It talked about what the tests were and how Clarke reacted to it and what were the side effects. Bellamy heart was racing. He couldn't believe this was happening. When Theena said tests he didn't think she meant something like this.
"This was probably Clarke's room. All these files are about her."Finn said. "Where is she?"
Bellamy didn't respond, he just read on. As he reached the bottom of her chart he saw that she was supposed to be due for 2 tests today, It was written that both was cancelled and saw at the bottom in big red letters:
'To be Terminated. 2:30'
Bellamy begins to get frantic and turns his head toward the Clock, it reads stuffed all the files in his bag and darted out of the room, Finn followed closely behind confused.
"Bellamy whats going on!" Finn asks trying to keep up.
He ignores him and instead shoots 3 guards unexpectedly without a second thought and keeps moving.
"What the hell! You could have just shot him in the leg or something, you didn't have to kill him!" Finn yelled and Bellamy stops.
"They're going to kill Clarke. Thats what the file said, they are going to execute her." Bellamy shouted.
He sees Finns face go from confused to devastated then quickly change to anger.
"We should split more ground." Finn says coldly.
"Enough with this split up Crap I don-" Bellamy starts but Finn quickly shuts him down.
"We have to find her now. We can't let them Kill her." He says as he runs away.
"Idiot." Bellamy whispers angrily under his breath before continuing down the hall.
Bellamy has no idea where to go, he just keeps moving and doesn't stop even though he can barely breathe. After about 5 minutes of aimless wandering he finds a door different from the rest and it catches his attention.
The door doesn't lead to a room but instead it leads to a hallway.
When Bellamy looked inside he saw a big guy that was probably the same age as him, maybe a little younger, fighting against 3 guards. The guy is swinging at them while the 3 are hitting him in the head with their guns.
Bellamy bursts in and shoots two of them and then comes up behind the 3rd one that was hitting the other man and hits the guard in the back of the head. Bellamy puts his gun on the guy.
"Don't shoot!" He says as he puts his hands in the air. "Im just trying to get my sister out."
Bellamy doesn't know whether he should trust him. I mean he was fighting against the guards instead of with them so that has to mean something. He decides that letting this go on for a little further wouldn't hurt so he subtly shifts his gun toward the door and the guy quickly tries opening it. Its locked.. of course.
The guy is desperately trying to open it. Its like he doesn't want to believe he can't get in, even though its highly unlikely. Bellamy thinks of just moving forward when he hears a girl's scream and banging on the door.
It hits a nerve in Bellamy, he couldn't imagine what he would do if he were in this situation and that was Octavia on the other side.
"Step Back." Bellamy says pointing his gun at the door. He shoots the key pad and at the handle and the guy quickly opens the door.
A girl comes running out and throws herself to her brother who picks her up and spins her around.
"Liam!" She yells and laughs.
"Hey T." He says and puts the girl down.
Bellamy starts to move and to keep looking and the girl must of noticed and she turned around. Bellamy was shocked at who he saw. It was Theena.
"Bellamy?" She asks in disbelief and Bellamy smiles and begins to move toward her.
"You know him?" Liam asks protectively.
"Shutup." She says to him before she ran up to Bellamy and hugged pulls back from Bellamy and doesn't meet his eye.
"Im so sorry I couldn't help you guys get in, I tried to get back out but I got into a fight with the officers and they stuck me in here."
"Don't be sorry, its not your fault." He says, he doesn't want her to feel bad.
"Can someone please explain to me what is going on?" Liam asks as he stepped up behind Theena and put a hand on her back.
"This is Bellamy. Bellamy this is my brother Liam." She says pointing at the both of them. "His people were the new recruits the guards brought it, from the ark. They're here to break them out."
"That means you know who Raven is right? Is she Okay?" Liam asks.
"How do you know Raven?" Bellamy asks suspiciously.
Just as he is about to answer Bellamy Theena interrupts again.
"I gave you message to Clarke. I don't know if she realized what I meant or not but I told her." She said and Bellamy quickly forgot about the previous conversation he just had with Liam and was now completely focused on Theena.
"Do you Know where she is?" He asked frantically.
"She should be in her room, its right down that hall and to the left." She said pointing to where Bellamy came from.
"Me and Finn found the room and the window was cracked and the room was empty so we took a look at the files in there and it said that she was going to be killed today." He paused for a second. "Do you think that they would actually kill her? How could they? Didn't you say that they needed us for tests, I doubt they would purposely kill their test subjects and wo-" Bellamy began rambling and when he noticed he stopped himself.
"Bellamy, you need to go. Now." She looked at him. "The room where they usually do this type of procedure is through that room and then you keep for going for about 100 feet and make two left turns. She should be in there." She said quickly, but Bellamy was able to remember every word she said.
Bellamy gave her a nod and turned around when 3 guards broke in, He quickly turned around only to see Theena being shot in her lower back. She screamed and It made Bellamy feel as if everything was in slow motion. He quickly picked up his gun and shot the guard who hurt her while Liam took care of the last one standing.
"Theena!" Liam screamed in horror and he ran to her body that was on the ground covered with blood. She was crying and she was screaming and it made Bellamy feel sick.
"Stay with me The. You are not going anywhere do you understand me? I can't lose you too." Liam whispered loud enough that Bellamy heard.
He walked over to the two when she picked her hand up.
"Go Find Clarke. Ill be fine." Theena said but Bellamy didn't move. He wasn't going to leave a little girl to die." GO!" She screamed.
"Listen to me" Bellamy spoke to Liam. "Go outside by the east door and tell them that Bellamy sent you and this was the girl that was going to help us and your her brother. They most likely won't believe you but just tell them that if they help her that you will stay locked up until I come out to vouche for you." He said as he dropped down to Theena.
"Bellamy, please Clarke needs you." She said through her teeth.
"Your gonna be okay, We have a really great doctor at camp who will fix you up and you will be okay. Stay strong kid." He said as he brushed her hair back and went running through the door only to look back and see Liam putting her on his shoulder and carrying her through the doors and out of sight.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
He did the same and ran off down the hall to the execution room.
The hallway was lit by a dark red light that was blinking on and off along with a siren that was blaring.
Bellamy made sure to follow Theena's exact directions. He went down the hall and made two lefts and still nothing.
He stopped running and he began walking. Looking into every window and couldn't find anyone he recognized, until he saw Mikayla.
He stopped in his tracks. A part of a him (a big part of him actually) wanted to just ignore her and go on looking for Clarke. But he knew he couldn't. He opened the door violently and rushed over to the bed.
She was pale. And there were two IVs in her arm taking blood from here.
"Mikayla, its Bellamy." He said ripping the IV from her arm.
She didn't answer him. She didn't do anything actually. Didn't even move a centimeter.
"Its time to go. Come on." He said as shook her a little.
Her body just flowed with his shaking, no fighting back. He put his hand to her neck to check for a pulse. There was none. She was dead.
Bellamy let out a deep sigh and somewhat trembled. Another person he couldn't protect, another person dead under his leadership. Another friend, gone.
He walked up beside her bed and shut her half closed eyes completely with his fingers and held his hand to her face before dropping it and turning out the door to continue looking.
He walked past about 5 other doors. All them either empty or filled with people he didn't know. It was giving him anxiety. Maybe they already killed her and they took her out of the room. They would just throw her away, not even give her a good goodbye, she would just be gone.
He walked faster. He was determined to find her, whether it be dead or alive (preferably alive). But he was beginning to lose hope of it. That was until be came up to a room that on the door read 453.
He skidded to a stop and ran up to the window. A smile began to form on his face followed quickly by a frown. She looked exactly like how Mikayla did, except she had more equipment on her and restraints.
He opened the door and let his gun fall.
"Clarke." He breathed.
She made no response. Just like Mikayla, who is now dead. His heart fell to his stomach when he thought about the idea of her being dead.
"Clarke, We're here." He said. He waited for her response, but there was none. "Please, answer me."
"Stop, I thought you were gonna leave me alone." Clarke groaned quietly.
"Im not here to kill you Princess, its me." He said, even as she was dying she was so beautiful; In the 'Im cute but I could slice your throat in a second' kind of way.
When she didn't answer he took it as a sign she didn't know who 'me' meant. "Bellamy, its Bellamy."
"I thought you were done fucking with my ' dead. Bellamy's dead. And its all because of me, you made that quite clear." She heaved.
He didn't say anything for a solid minute. No words were coming to his mouth, all he could do was just stand there and look at her.
He waited so long to find and went through so much and here she was and he could almost not believe it.
"Please, just kill me. I can't take it anymore. I don't want to run anymore tests I just want this to be over." She pleaded and he ran to her side.
When he got to her side he pulled out her plugs and unscrewed the crown from her head. When the blood dripped down her face he took her jacket sleeve and wiped it before moving down to her legs and unstrapping the restraints around them and around her wrists.
He moved to her face and her eyes were beginning to droop.
"Clarke, see? Its okay its really me." Bellamy said quietly.
"No, No, No." She began to cry. "Bellamy's dead and this isn't real. Get out. no more please, just kill me already!" She screamed and he became so angry and upset. They wrecked her.
"Come on." He said reassuringly as he tried to lift her to her feet but she just fell to the ground.
Bellamy adjusted his gun over his shoulder and lifted her into his arms. He put one hand under her neck for support and the other was buckled under her knees.
He opened the door wider with his foot and walked out and continued down the hall.
He felt Clarke shift uncomfortably in his arms and begin to tremble. He knew she was crying. When he looked down he saw the tears forming under her closed eyelids.
She didn't think this was real. She didn't think he was real and that secretly killed him.
"You're gonna be alright Clarke. I Found you. Im bringing you home."
Authors note: So yeah their reunited. Finally.
Just a little bit of a ramble here to make a few things clear:
a) Im sorry if you think that Clarke is acting a little out of character because of how she wants to die. But just try to realize that she has been through so much and all these tests are so terrible. I was really trying to portray how bad these test were and the toll it was taking on her.
b)When Bellamy find Clarke she sees him but she doesn't believe that he is real. She thought that it was like the test she took on the first day where she was just imagining all the people she believed to be dead. Yes Theena relayed her a message but she was always pretty skeptical about it, as she should be.
Another little ramble (sorry I talk a lot):
1)Thank you to everyone who stuck with me even though there was so much lack of Bellarke. I really appreciate everyone who reviews and favorites and follows. I get so happy when I get I see a little notification. I love all of them so thank you.
2)Again I'm sorry for the lack of bellarke these past chapters but even though they are reunited right now, don't think that they are just magically gonna get together. This is still a slow burn story so be ready for all of that (;
3)I know I don't update that often but I really tried to get this one up a little faster. The thing is, I have no idea where Im going to go with this story after this. I have a few ideas but Im still trying to work them out. Sooo, Please forgive me for the possible long wait for the next chapter. If any of you have any ideas or concepts of what I should do or what you would like to see them please either PM me or send in a review, Id love to hear you ideas.
Okay! So now that I finished my not so little rambles. I want to thank you guys for reading and for following and reviewing and favoriting! Hope you enjoyed this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Don't forget to review! You all get me going and get me to actually complete the next chapter so please Review Review Review! (:
