I broke my promise to Bellamy, I didn't spend the day resting. Instead, I ended up taking care of Raven and the rest of the sick. Finn brought her back at around noon and she was pretty much dying in his arms. I could tell by the worried look in his face that he was still in love with her, and that made me feel better.

"Raven, you're going to be okay." I said as I lead Finn to the hammock. Murphy rushed over with a cool towel and handed it to me. I dabbed it on Raven's clammy forehead until she started to stir a little bit.

"God, I shouldn't have hesitated." Finn mumbled, pacing by Raven's side. I looked up with him and faintly smiled.

"Bellamy asked us which one was going to plant the bomb and I hesitated! This is all my fault…"

Raven started to stir again, so I reverted my attention back to her, making sure that she didn't have to puke. Her eyes fluttered open, locking with mine and it was as if all of her animosity towards me was gone. She wasn't just Finn's jealous girlfriend anymore, she was my Raven again. She was my best friend.

"Thank you, Clarke." She said faintly, reaching her hand out for mine. I smiled accepting her gesture because this was her way of telling me that we were good. She hadn't realized that Finn was even in the room until I looked over at him.

"I'll give you two some time. I'll be around camp if you need me." I said, releasing her hand and heading towards the drop ship door.

When I was back outside, I took a deep breath of fresh air and glanced around at the 100. Everyone was hard at work, preparing for battle and setting up our defenses. Bellamy was in the center of it all, directing everyone and trying to help wherever he could. He had a tendency of overworking himself when he was worried, so I decided to try and calm down his worries. Octavia had left this morning and wasn't due to be back for another few hours. He'd be a nervous wreck until she walked back through the gate.

When he saw me from across camp, his face lit up like a christmas tree. Everytime he looked at me, it was like he fell in love with me all over again. I couldn't help but feel butterflies in my stomach as I made my way over to him and snuggled into his open arms. He rested his chin on my head, causing me to nuzzle my cheek against his chest.

"Get a room!" Miller teased. Bellamy let me go so that he could playfully hit Miller. Miller pretended to slap him back, resulting in a full on wrestling match. I giggled as they over dramatically "fought". They rolled around in the mud until Bellamy eventually doubled over laughing. Miller patted him on the back and stood up, offering his hand to help Bellamy stand as well. Once he'd caught his breath, Bellamy took Miller's hand and hoisted up onto his feet.

"I missed you man." Miller said, giving him a "bro-hug".

"I missed you too." Bellamy whispered, barely loud enough for me to hear. Miller waved goodbye to us and then headed across camp to slap Jasper into resuming his work duties again.

"I thought I told you to rest." Bellamy said, dusting off his jeans.

"I had to help Raven." I replied defiantly. Bellamy wrapped his arm around my shoulders and lead me towards our tent.

"How is she by the way?" He asked.

"She's much better, she'll definitely pull through." I answered.

Bellamy lifted up our tent flap and ushered me inside.

"What about Finn?" He asked while he took off his jacket and collapsed on the bed.

I threw my head back, "I think he's finally over it. Almost losing Raven, I guess it was a wake up call."

Bellamy patted a spot on the bed for me to lay down, so I slipped off my boots and curled up next to him.

"So I talked to the kid who burned down the smoke house last time." Bellamy said as he ran his fingers up and down my arm. I curled up closer to him, relishing in the feeling of his body up against mine.

"And?"

"Our food's not going to get destroyed this time around." He said, leaning down to kiss me. I smiled into the kiss as his lips pressed gently against mine.

I pulled away slightly, "Good so I won't have to go hunting."

Bellamy pouted, remembering when I'd gotten captured and then kissed me again, "I missed you so much."

I sighed running my fingers through his dark curls, "I thought I'd lost you."

Bellamy rolled over, pulling me on top of him and wrapping his arms around my waist to support me. I caressed his face, taking in every scar, every freckle, and every shade of brown in his eyes.

"You and Octavia are the only reason I'm alive." He whispered, leaning up to kiss my cheek. "I wouldn't have held on if I didn't have you two to come home to."

I bit my lip, "Why don't you hate me?"

Bellamy chuckled a little under his breath, "How could I hate you? This wasn't your fault."

"I walked away, I didn't turn around and go after you." I whimpered. Bellamy lifted his hand to brush a small tear off of my cheek.

"That's exactly what I asked you to do. I know you were worried, but we both knew deep down that I'd make it out of there eventually. I'm here now and I'm healing." He said.

"I left you to die, Bellamy." I cried. Bellamy pulled me close to him, allowing me to cry into his t-shirt. He rubbed my back gently as my cries died down to whimpers and then to soft hiccups.

He rested his forehead against mine, "You didn't leave me to die. I needed to stay, to protect you and Octavia. Just rest princess and know that I love you."

"I love you too." I said, kissing him once more before wrapping my legs around his, laying my head on his chest, and falling asleep to the sound of his heart beating.


"Are you two clothed?" Octavia's voice rang from outside of our tent. Bellamy shot out of bed when he realized that his sister was back, but I struggled to wake up. I rubbed my eyes as Bellamy opened the tent flap and allowed his sister inside. She had her eyes covered with her hands when she stepped in.

"Octavia we're dressed." Bellamy laughed, wrapping an arm around his little sister. Octavia peeked through her fingers before setting her hand down at her side and focusing.

"Lincoln is here but he isn't alone. Apparently he went to Ton DC to speak with the commander and to tell her everything that had happened to you guys. The commander, Lexa, is really spiritual and kind of believes you guys, but you have to go with Lincoln and Anya to Ton DC right now." Octavia explained. I remembered Lexa telling me about how her spirit would chose the next commander and that she believed in reincarnation, but I couldn't understand how she could help us. Lincoln did mention something about the spirits punishing us for all of our wrongs in the past life, but I didn't think that was why we got a do-over. I'd never really believed in anything, but for something like this to happen, there had to be some sort of spiritual being involved. It was worth a shot.

"How do we know this isn't a trap?" Bellamy asked her. I knew Bellamy trusted Lincoln, but he didn't trust Anya or Lexa. Regardless, this was the perfect opportunity for us to try and negotiate peace and we couldn't pass it up. Lexa allowed a truce last time, maybe she'd allow one now too. The Ark was preparing to come down tomorrow and without a truce, all of our people could die. This was our only hope.

"We don't know if it's a trap, but it's the only chance we have to stop the war at the drop ship. I don't know about you, but I don't want to attract the Mountain Men again." I said.

Octavia raised her eyebrow, "Lincoln mentioned that the Mountain Men are angry with us for the bridge. Who are they?"

I glanced over at Bellamy, "We're going to make sure you never find out."


We put Miller in charge once again and then followed Octavia out of the camp. Anya was waiting there with several riders including Gustus and Indra. We each climbed on the back of horses and rode off towards Ton DC. Bellamy was on a horse with Gustus, I was riding with Anya and Octavia was riding with Lincoln. Indra looked impressed when Octavia climbed on the horse and took the reigns for herself, commanding the horse with confidence.

It felt like an eternity before we finally arrived in Ton DC. We were lead through the village until we made it to Lexa's tent. It was weird seeing the village thriving again and I'd do whatever it took to stop the bomb from ever dropping here again.

"If you even look at her the wrong way, I'll slit your throat." Gustus said to me. Anya yanked roughly on my arm, dragging me into the tent. Lexa was sitting on her throne, delicately applying her warpaint. She set down her eye paint and then stood up to get a better look at us.

"Clarke and Bellamy of the sky people, Lincoln has informed me of your special circumstance." She said, walking over to me.

"Yes, it's true. We were sent back in time and we don't know why. What I do know is that in order for us all to survive, we have to work together." I said.

"Those who are about to die with say anything…" Indra seethed. Lexa stuck her hand up to silence Indra.

"You say you've lived this life before? Then prove it." Lexa spat. I glanced over at Bellamy, Octavia, and Lincoln, unsure of what to say with her to get her to believe me. That was when it hit me.

"Costia, I know about Costia." I gasped. Lexa's eyes widened, and for a moment, I could see a glimmer of emotion in her.

"What do you know?" Lexa asked, focusing solely on me.

I bit my lip, "She was captured by the ice nation, whose queen believed she knew your secrets. Because she was yours, they tortured her, killed her, and cut off her head. You thought you'd never get over the pain, but you did. You recognized it for what it is, weakness. You believe that love is weakness."

Lexa's eyes bore into my soul as she tried to wrap her head around what I'd just told her. Bellamy reached over to hold my hand while we waited for her to respond.

"I've never told anyone about that before." She whispered. I let Bellamy's hand go so that I could stand up to be face to face with her.

"You told me, because I had just lost someone special to me too. You trusted me, Lexa and I trusted you." I said. It was true, I had trusted her until she broke my trust at the doors of Mount

Weather. I had to keep reminding myself that this Lexa hadn't betrayed me yet, or ordered Finn's death, or sent an army to the drop ship to wipe us out.

"I believe you, Clarke." Lexa whispered so quiet that I was the only one who heard it. She couldn't tear her eyes away from me, and I know all of those old feelings for me where rushing back to her, just like they had with Finn. I pulled away and licked my lips.

Lexa shook her head, snapping out of the trance, "You need to sit and reflect on why you were sent back. In my lifetime I've never met anyone who this has happened to but legend has it that once you figure out the reason behind all of this, you will go back to the present day." She explained.

"The spirits only do things like this when they believe that there is no other way to teach you a valuable lesson or to heal you." Lincoln added.

"You all will stay in here until you figure it out." She said, signalling for her guards to walk out. They left Lincoln, Bellamy and I alone. We gathered around in a circle and were all quiet until Bellamy broke the silence.

"So if we do this, will everything go back exactly the way it was?" He asked.

Lincoln shrugged his shoulders, "I have no idea. What we need to figure out is what we all have in common. We were all sent back here together because the meaning behind all of this is the same for each of us."

"Well we all love Octavia." Bellamy joked. We glanced around the room, expecting some sort of supernatural phenomenon to occur if we got the answer right.

"No, it can't be that. I've already tried that. What have you guys thought it was?" Lincoln asked.

"At first I thought this was a dream, then I thought the purpose was to save my father and Aurora, after they died we thought it was a punishment for all of the horrible things we'd done in the past, then we considered that we were supposed to fix everything, but most of the disasters just happened anyway, no matter what we did." I said.

"Well for most of this time I thought I was alone and that this was a punishment for all I'd done as a reaper. Ever since I betrayed Bellamy, I've just been so wracked up with guilt I couldn't bear it." Lincoln admitted. The entire room started to shake, almost like an earthquake. We each held hands and closed our eyes, realizing that we were getting so close to figure out the meaning of all of this.

"So guilt, we each felt an immense amount of guilt for everything that we'd been through, but why would that send us back here? Many people feel guilty for many different things." I argued.

"Well maybe it's not the guilt, maybe it's how the guilt was affecting our lives. I don't know about you guys, but I could barely go on anymore after Mount Weather." Bellamy said. The ground beneath us shook even more rapidly which was another indication that we were almost there.

"What if we do this and everything goes back to the way it was?" I screamed over the earthquake.

"Then we work through this together. There's some things in life you just can't control!" Bellamy yelled to us. The sky opened up above us and rays of white light began to rain down on our skin.

"Bellamy that's it! We weren't sent here to fix anything, we were sent here to realize that not everything was our fault, there are some things in life that are just meant to happen and we can't let the guilt consume us. We have to live every day to the fullest and enjoy life while we have it, because life is short, and it's a gift." I said, glancing between them.

The world disappeared around us and I held onto Bellamy and Lincoln for as long as I could before they were each torn from my arms. The white light got brighter and brighter until suddenly, there was nothing.

We did it. We actually did it.


A/N: Thank you all so much for your overwhelmingly positive responses to this fic! I absolutely love reading your reviews and your predictions. The next chapter will be the last (sadly) BUT I've decided to write several scenes in Bellamy's point of view. I'm almost done with the first scene (when Bellamy wakes up back on the Ark) and I can't wait for you guys to see it! This has been a wild ride, but all good things must come to and end. Let me know how you think this story is going to end :)
