Chapter 4
Disclaimer: I do not own the 100 or and characters therein.
Finn's POV
All he saw was the space helmet, lying on the ground, the inside covered in blood. The raven print on the side. Her raven print. 'Raven! Oh god, don't let her be dead. Don't let her die.' The thoughts ran through Finn's head before he had time to process the fact the Raven, his first love, was on Earth. Not only that, but she was dead, if what Bellamy was saying was true. 'She can't be. She just can't.'
He dashed forward, shoving Bellamy out of the way, running to Raven, wanting to do everything he could possibly could to save the girl he had gone to jail for.
Putting his hand against her face, he tried to find a pulse. Any sign that she was alive. But it was in vian. Finding nothing, he dropped his head down, tears streaming down off his face. He noticed the metal sheet sticking out of her gut. The one covered in her blood. The one that's end was dripping blood from Raven down onto the floor of the pod. The one that had killed her.
"Raven! No. No. Why did you have to try and come down here?" Finn muttered to himself, not caring who heard. "Why? All you did was pointlessly crash yourself and die? For what cause?"
And that's when he noticed the radio. Playing the same message, over and over again on a loop. A call from The Ark.
Grabing the radio reciver, Finn called into it. "Hey, anyone there? This is the 100 we are alive."
"Copy. This is Private Lucus Mathers on The Ark. We read you. Over."
Finn could hear the soldier yelling at someone to tell the council they were alive and to stop the Culling.
"Hey, listen. We're going to move the pod radio back to near our dropship." Finn said, forcing the words out. He was still overcome with grief. "It isn't safe out here where the pod went down."
"Alright. How many dead do you have? Any signs of radiation poisoning?" The soldier asked.
"We've only lost seven people. Two died in the drop onto the planet, one was killed by another of us, one killed herself, and three
died of toxic gas."
"But not radiation? Are you sure?"
"Yes. No one has shown any symtoms of rad poisoning."
"Alright. I'm going to go tell Mrs. Griffin what you told me. Over."
With that, the communication ended. As Finn stood up from the radio, he advadverted his eyes from the corpse of his first love. While they had never really done it, he had loved her. But she was dead. There wasn't anything he could do now but bury her body and remember her for who she was, not this broken form he had imprinted into his mind.
Suddenly, there was a rustling in the bushes. Out sprang a group of people from the drop ship.
"Hey guys. Glad you're here. We need you to pick up this pod and carry it back to camp." Bellamy said, a strange look of regret on his face. "And get a stretcher. The pilot is dead."
"She was like this when I found her. There was nothing that, I could do." Bellamy said, walking over, adressing Finn. "Who was she?"
"She...she was my girlfriend." Finn responded, tears silently pouring down his face.
"Come on Finn, let's go. We should make sure the pod is intact for Monty to examine." Clarke said, putting her arm around his waste and taking his hand, pulling him away from the pod.
After a half hour, the group had managed to make a makeshift pedistal to carry the pod on. And the guys had found enough cloth and leaves to make a stretcher.
And so they walked, behind the pod and Raven's corpse, for a long time. Clarke kept an eye out, watching the woods, waiting for something to happen, someone to attack like the grounders had twice before.
But nothing happened. Eventually Clarke broke the silence.
"I'm glad you told me, Finn." Clarke said, looking up at him, arm still wrapped around his waist.
"Told you what?" He asked, still staring transfixed at a certain point in front of them. The pain and sorrow was thick in his voice.
"That you had a girlfriend. If you hadn't, it would have shown that you were willing to lie to me. This way, you told me the truth before you were forced to." She responded,
looking up at his sad, sullen face. "Now I know that you will tell me the truth. I am still mad at you, but I'll get past it. You're the one I'm worried about."
"I'm sorry. I know that I should have told you sooner, but...I just couldn't think about you rejecting me." Finn looked down at her, brown eyes meeting green. "I didn't want to lose you, Clarke."
She smiled at him, and leaned up, planting a kiss on his check.
"Come on." She said. "We should probably help Monty with the radio. We also need to bury Raven."
And with that, the two walked back to the drop ship, hand-in-hand.
Hey guys! Thanks for reading. As I've said before, please review so I can get your opinion on what I should do with the story. I want to what you think about focusing on just Clarke and Finn or trying to include other character's viewpoints. I don't know if I should or not. I will still tell the story, regardless. Thanks for reading!
