Entering my home I tossed my bag onto the chair, not only had I lost Octavia to the skybox but word had gotten around that they had arrested and were setting some sort of trial for Rayne, all that meant was she would be getting a nice stay in a cell for a few days before they floated her too. All she was doing was healing children. I couldn't believe it, and I had never gotten the chance to do anything, tell her I had feelings for her or anything and now they where going to kill her.
I leaned against a wall staring at a chair that Octavia had usually been sitting on waiting for me to get home from guard duty. Or as she often called it, 'Stalking my dream girl shift'. It was my fault they found her if I had just kept her in here and kept her safe none of this would have ever happened. She'd still be here.
My thoughts where cut short by a knock on the door, whipping my eyes of any tears, I turned around and headed towards the door, opening it quickly to see who it was, only to find it was the same man that got my sister and my mother taken away. The very same guy who was going to get Rayne floated too.
"Cadet Blake." He said his eyes boring into me.
"It's janitor Blake now, Lieutenant." I told him calmly trying to keep my cool.
"Commander." He said pointing to his new badge. "A lot's changed in the past year." He told me slowly as I just took in a deep breath. "May I?" He asked as he entered my home even without my approval.
"You've got some nerve coming in here, after pushing the button that floated my mother." I told him harshly.
"I was following orders." He said with no further explanation.
"What the hell do you want from me?" I spat at him.
"You were a hell of a guardsman, Bellamy, you know that?" He asked me as he moved away from me and around the room. "Smart, hardworking, resourceful." He continued, "I wasn't a guardsman." I shot at him, reminding me of what he'd said to me moments before he had taken my sister away from me. "That's what you said. I remember." I snap at him as I pushed my hair back on my head.
"You also said you'd do anything to protect your sister." He shot at me. "I remember too. I hope that's still true." He continued.
"And let's not forget Doctor Locke; my sources tell me you've been following her around for a number of years now. If I'm right, you two first met at a dance, much like the one we had to take your sister from. You'd protect her too would you not?" He questioned.
How he even knew about my feelings for Rayne confused me, I didn't even tell the few friends I did have about her. I liked that she was my secret, something, and someone I could go to and visit and not feel guilty about. Our chats we would have always left me with some feeling of being whole and wanted. Something that after a year I hadn't thought I'd feel again.
"I don't know who that is…" I lied.
"Too bad," He said smirking, he knew I was lying.
"Are they ok?" I asked him,
He put his hands on his hips and lowered his head looking to the ground, taking in a deep breath of air before answering me. "What I'm about to tell you is classified." He told me as he began to wonder around once again.
"Chancellor Jaha approved a mission to Earth." He began to say causing me to arch my brow at him. "He's sending the Juvenile Prisoners along with a trained Medic to the ground." He continued to say.
"One hundred and one of them in fact your sister and Rayne Locke included." He told me, "Originally it was just to be the one hundred Juveniles however with Rayne's recent choices. They had decided that sending her down with them would be a better choice than floating her. Which they where incredibly close to doing if it'd weren't for Council Member Griffin, explaining that the kids should they be hurt or chose to ignore what Jaha asks of them, they would have someone trustworthy down there to contact us."
Somehow I doubted that Rayne would be willing to help Chancellor Jaha after all the pain he and his council have tossed in her face, not to mention now that he was telling me they where going to float her.
"N-No." I began to stutter, "You can't. It's not safe." I began to tell him. "You have to stop them."
"I wish I could." He continued walking around me, he was walking circles around me while talking to me, did he want more than he was leading on?
"What I can do is get you a seat on that drop ship." He said as I slowly looked at him with disbelief all over my face.
"You're right, it's doubtful." He continued, "Those kids will survive, but if you're there, at least Octavia wont be alone. Not to mention you'll be free to no longer silently pawn over your dream girl." He smirked slightly,
"What do I have to do?" I asked him, a chance to keep both girls safe from what awaits them on the ground. Of course I would do anything to have that opportunity.
He pulled out a gun and held it out to me before calmly telling me exactly what it was going to take. "Kill the Chancellor."
I weighed the options that I had floating around in my head. Could I really do it? Kill the chancellor? I took the gun and aimed it at his head, "How about I kill you instead?"
He stood there the expression on his face still deadpan; "Kill me and your sister goes alone, and any chance you might have had with Rayne goes with them to a radiation-soaked planet." He told me flat out. "And you get floated like your mother."
I stood there looking down at the ground, "Ship launches in twenty-minuets, Bellamy." He told me, "If you're gonna do this, we have to leave. Right now."
Rayne's Point of View
Bellamy had let go of Octavia and was now holding me close to him, "Rayne, once we get back I promise I will explain everything." He told me as he pulled away from me slightly.
Octavia was once again in Jasper's arms, "How did you find me?" She asked him.
"Followed him." He said pointing to the Grounder on the floor.
"He save our lives, twice." I told Bellamy, "healed up our wounds, Bellamy… this grounder isn't like the other ones… we can trust him… although after Octavia beat him with a rock… I can't say he'll be too happy."
He chuckled, "You always try to see the good in everyone don't you?" He said. "We should go. Now. Before he wakes up." Octavia said again.
"Ray's right he's going to be pissed off." I laughed at her comment again, "With you maybe." I told her.
"He's not gonna wake up." Bellamy said.
"What?" I asked him in unison with Octavia.
"Bellamy stop." Octavia said as he picked up the Grounder's weapon.
"I just told you he's not a bad one, we can trust him!" I said to him,
"Yea and what if he comes back to the camp and takes you both again?" He asked me.
"Bellamy she was right, he didn't hurt us, Let's just go." Octavia began to beg.
"They started this. Finn. Move." Bellamy said as Finn was now crouching over the fallen grounder.
"Please Bellamy, he's not the bad guy he protected us." I cried.
"Foghorn." Finn said, "Apparently he saved us too." Finn said slowly, "with the horn that got all the other grounders to take off."
"See he's a good one." I cried out again.
All of a sudden in one swift move the Ground moved stabbing Finn in the gut, "No!" I shouted as Finn fell backwards.
Sure I was a doctor, but not when it came to semi-fatal stab wounds, god I could only hope someone was getting us a way to talk to the Ark. I would need Abby's help with this, Abby AND Clarkes help.
Bellamy and the Grounder began to fight as Octavia and I tired comforting Finn, as he groaned in pain. Holding pressure on his wound we tried to watch what was going on with the Grounder and Bellamy however everything came to an abrupt halt when we saw the Grounder was holding a spear so that it was almost going into Bellamy's neck.
"Stop! That's my brother!" Octavia yelled.
"Please!" I said to the Grounder, "Please, please…" I began to sob.
Jasper than hit the grounder in the back of the head with something causing him to fall to the ground releasing the spear that he had been holding. We all shot our eyes to Jasper as I quickly made my way to Bellamy's side.
"Are you ok?" I asked Bellamy as he nodded rubbing the back of his head.
We rushed back to the camp as Jasper ran ahead of us, "Clarke! Where's Clarke?" Jasper yelled as I ran up beside him.
"Where is she?" I yelled to the closest person to me.
"Hey, I'm here. What's up?" She asked as he helped Octavia in the gate.
"We need to get in contact with the Ark, Clarke… and by that I mean we needed to be in contact yesterday." She looked at me strangely. "What happened?" She asked.
"Just know, I can't do this on my own… and I'm going to need your help, you and your mom…" I told her as Bellamy, Nova and Murphy all brought a terribly injured Finn into the gates."Finn… Finn?" She said pushing past us and rushing over to Finn, I turned to see Raven, as she looked incredibly heart broken. I guess she found out the truth and we just brought back her dying boyfriend.
"Oh, my god." Clarke gasped as I made my way over to them, "Clarke we don't have time for this." I told her.
"He's alive…" She said after checking his pulse. "We need to get him into a stable environment, same place we have Jasper would be best." I told her as she nodded.
"Bellamy and Rayne wouldn't let me take the knife out." Jasper told her,
"No that was a good call. Listening to Ray's medical advice is probably most advisable." Clarke said smiling at me.
"Get him in the drop ship now. Go!" She said, "I need to check your arm out for you before we can even consider helping him… we need you having steady hands." She told me.
"All right but let's get going." I told her.
"Clarke, Rayne… can you save him?" Raven began to cry. I pulled her into a hug, "Of course we can, but we need your help Raven." I told her as she sobbed into my shoulder.
"No. Not me." Clarke said, "Rayne…. We need my mother… like you said… you might be equipped to deal with this but… I can't I can't do it." Clarke began to cry.
"Then I'm going to need to talk to her." I told Raven as I pulled myself out of her arms, holding both her shoulders firmly. "Can you get that radio working?" I asked her.
"There's still no radio, I can't get it working." Raven began to panic.
"Both of you calm down and breathe." I told them both. "Raven, you're the best mechanic on the Ark… fix it… go." I told her. "You take a walk, and calm down." I told Clarke. "Meet me in the drop ship when you're calm." I told Clarke as the two girls nodded and left.
"Hey wait, you ok?" I asked Octavia who was limping around still. "Yea, just go…" She whispered to me.
"Hey wait," Bellamy said to Octavia once he figured I was out of ears reach, however it just made me curious enough to hide and listen.
"Why where you two defending him?" He asked.
"Because he saved our lives, weren't you listening back there?" Octavia snapped at him.
"That spear that his Roma was actually meant-" He cut her off.
"No you're both wrong. I saved your lives." Bellamy bit back. "For all you two knew, he was keeping you both alive to use either of you as bait for one of their traps." Bellamy ranted on to her.
"No. I don't think so." Octavia said. "He would listen to us, he helped us." She continued to say.
"You don't think, Oh! That's the problem." He yelled at her. "They killed three of our people today and if you would've let me kill him when I had the chance, Finn wouldn't be in there dying right now." He continued to argue to her passionately.
"Stop blaming me for your mistakes! What happened to Finn dies in there, that's on you. Another thing that's not my fault all your lies you spat out to Rayne, if she never speaks to you again, that's also your fault. Murphy was right she deserves a man. Not a coward." What was Octavia thinking right now… we all knew Bellamy wasn't too shit hot with confrontation.
"Everything that's gone wrong is because of you. You got me locked up on the Ark. You wanted me to go to that stupid dance. You got mom killed!" She yelled at him
I could tell Bellamy was holding back a chuckle, "Me?" He questioned her, "Mom was floated for having you. She's dead because you're alive." He said his voice breaking.
"That was her choice. I didn't have a choice. My life ended the day you where born." He spat at Octavia.
She turned to walk back out the gate as Bellamy stopped her. "Where do you think you're going?" He asked her aggressively.
"You can't keep me locked up in here forever." Octavia said her voice just above a whisper. She ripped herself out of his arms and stormed off into the camp right past me.
I didn't know what to do other than stand there and watch Bellamy as he looked like he was about to completely break down. Walking out from my spot I made my way over to Bellamy who sighed in defeat.
"You heard all of that I'll assume." He told me.
I nodded towards him, "Bellamy, you can't keep caging her like she's an animal… and me constantly going to her for you taking your side will only turn her against me too." I explained to him as he nodded.
He turned around and made his way to the gate's door. "Get inside." He told a kid who was standing around out there. He then began to close the door. "What're you doing?" I asked him slowly. "Go!" He yelled to the kid once he'd gotten inside the gate.
"A storm's coming." Bellamy told me. Somehow, some part of me knew he wasn't talking literally.
"Now, we have things we need to discuss." He told me, "I also have a boys life I need to save. Think you can talk to me while I clean his wound and prepare him for a surgery I've never attempted?" I asked him with a straight face.
"I guess I can do that…" he sighed wrapping his arm around me leading me back towards the drop ship.
