Chapter 6: The Beginning

Clarke's P.O.V (almost 8am):

My plan was going just as, well, planned until my mom brought up the fact that Kane has to come with us. I didn't fight it because, knowing my mom, if I did she would find it extremely superficial. I simply nodded with a tight smile and walked out of the room before she changed her mind about everything else. As soon as I shut the door I leaned my back up against the wall and sighed. Partly because of relief and partly because of guilt. I lied to my mom. Yes, I can just tell myself that she lied to me first and let me think Wells was the ultimate cause of my father's demise but.. It still wouldn't make it right. As far as Kane goes, for the first time in a while, I'm completely and utterly stumped. If I so much as talk to him about not coming he would go straight to my mother and we would be stuck here. Not to mention mom would send soldiers out to find this made up 'sanctuary that Mount Weather found'. If we just let him come with us he'd eventually figure out we lied to them and then he'd be stuck with us, and as much as Kane has done to help hurt people, he doesn't deserve that. I'd have to talk to the rest of the group about the Kane situation. Maybe one of them would have an idea as to what we can do. As I walked out the station into the, now, warmer breeze I saw Bellamy. The all too familiar face that I have become very happy to see. More than not my heart tends to skip a beat whenever I see him. This time is no exception.

"So.. How'd it go?" He asked as he turned around to walk next to me.

"Fine." Was all I said. He stopped walking.

"Clarke, I know something's wrong." He stated seeming to read my mind.

"Everything went perfectly to plan.. She agreed to let me go as well as take you guys with me.. Until the very end." I finally looked up into his concerned eyes, he was squinting a little bit at the bright sun behind me. "She won't let us go unless Kane goes with us." I tried to get a read on any sort of expression out of him but he just looked down, seemingly at my lips, and then back up to my eyes.

"Let him."

"What? But Bellamy once he finds out he would never-" He took my hand and led me a little further from the tents.

"I think this." He said, digging through his jacket pocket. "Will change his mind." He pulled out a piece of paper. Once he handed it to me I noticed it was a postcard of sorts. It showed a city with the words 'Calgary' in the top left corner of it.

"What's this?" I asked, not taking my eyes off the pretty city skyline.

"It's a city Princess." I gave him a sarcastic 'really now?' look and he smirked then went back to being serious, as he always does. "Lincoln says that this city was in a 'safe zone' from the bombs. That it's, for the most part, still standing. Obviously it hasn't been taken care of and probably felt some impact from the bombs but.. If it's there, Clarke.. We could live in a city, like our ancestors, in just a month's walk."

Once he finished telling me about this impossible sounding city I was at a loss of words. I didn't want to get my hopes up but if it was there, I mean really there, we would all grow up in the shadows of tall buildings and walk on sidewalks. But, alast, it seemed too good to be true.

"This place, Bellamy. It seems.. Way too good to be true." I saw his face of excitement change to one of defeat and it hurt to watch. "Even if it was really there.. I guarantee there would be people already there and, with a place looking like this, they would not be willing to share." He picked his head up from staring at the ground and curved his mouth like he was ready for me to say that.

"Lincoln told me that people have tried getting there but none have made it because of the journey to get there." I was even more uncertain of this whole thing now than I had been before.

"That sounds like a red flag to me Bellamy. What if we lose people making this journey and then end up finding out that there's nothing there? Do you have enough faith in this place to do that?" He closed his eyes, seemingly taking in what I said then opened them looking right at me.

"I have faith in Lincoln." I had to think for a second. At this point I trust Bellamy more than my own mother. Therefore, if he has faith in Lincoln..

"And I have faith in you." He smiled, brighter than I have ever seen from him, once he heard those words leave my mouth. I couldn't help but smile back. "But before I agree I need to talk to Lincoln. I want to hear this story for myself." He nodded and cocked his head quickly, motioning me to follow him. If I was going to risk these five lives, my friends' lives, I needed to know it was worth it. Sure I've only known these people for a short amount of time but, in that short time, I've learned enough about them to care a great deal for them.

Raven's P.O.V (8am):

Clarke's mission to find bags was way easier to do than I thought. I just bought em off of some kids with Jobi nuts. It was an easy trade to say the least, I never want to use those things after seeing what they do to people. No sir. I got three bags which should be more than enough for all of us. Now all I had to do was wait for Clarke and Bellamy's plan, whatever it is, to take effect. I put the bags down at my feet and sat on a log close to the fence. Of course I wouldn't have done that if I had remembered the cockroach was back.

"Raven." He said from behind me as he walked up from the other side of the fence, crouched down so nobody sees him.

"Oh look what the cat dragged in.. literally." I said looking at him then back at the bags, opening them to see how much room they all had.

"How long is this whole hating me thing gonna go on for?" He asked in a tone that I can only describe as boredom.

"What do you want Murphy?" I asked just wanting him to get to the point and leave. There was a pause for a second like he was thinking of what to say.

"Anything I can do to help?" He almost sounded genuine when he asked that but this is still John Murphy we're talking about.

"Really?" I chuckled. "You want to help?" He rolled his eyes.

"What do you want from me Raven? I'm trying." This was not the Murphy that I knew before..

"Well if we're being honest. I want to shoot you in the leg and make you a cripple!" I said furiously standing up towards him with my fists clenched.

"I-" Before he could respond Clarke, Bellamy, Octaivia and Lincoln came up to us.

"Cut it out guys." Was all Clarke said as they walked up to us.

"So what's the sitch?" I asked, calming down.

"We found a place. Well.. hopefully." Bellamy started explaining. "It's about a month walk from here but if it's there.." I saw him smile for probably the first time ever. "It's definitely the sanctuary we're looking for."

"And if it's not there?" Monty asked walking up to us with Jasper behind him seemingly out of it looking to the sky with a drunk smile. Murphy answered now,

"If it's not there then we're a month's walk away from this shithole." For the first time in, ever, I actually agreed with him. Everyone else nodded. Clarke walked over to the bags and picked one up.

"Good job on the bags Raven."

"Give me a harder job next time." I said with a smirk. She returned it with a smile.

"There is a slight change in plans." Bellamy started, looking around to make sure no one can hear us. "Kane is coming with us but he has no clue we're not coming back."

"What? How is that gonna work Bell?" Octavia asked. Huh, I guess they're coming too.

"We don't know yet. We'll probably tell him once we're a week into the trip so he has a chance to turn back." Clarke stated.

"What about me? He'll freak out when he sees I'm back." Murphy said worrying about himself as usual.

"Just keep a distance until we're far enough away from camp and we'll make some excuse for why you're with us." Clarke stated and I saw him nod.

"Yeah.. just act like you're actually useful to us." I said snarling my lips.

"Hardy har.." After he said that his eyebrows shot up and he dove into a bush by the fence and we were all completely confused. As if on cue, we saw Kane walking towards us holding 3 rifles in his arms and a hiking backpack on his shoulders.

"I have to say." He spoke as he handed two of the rifles to Bellamy and Jasper. "You kids did a great thing if this place really turns out to be what you say." I saw Clarke look down in the corner of my eye probably out of guilt. Damn. Drunk me was right. She is soft. Who woulda thought?

"We can only hope sir." Bellamy said with the most believable smile I've ever seen. Kane nodded with a smile.

"When do we get to kill stuff?" Jasper asked like a creepy-ass clown with a creepy-ass smile.

"Is he okay?" Kane whispered to me.

"No. But he's a good shot." I answered back. Sure Jaspers kinda physco now but I've seen what he can do with a gun. And I'm pretty sure he won't turn on us… Pretty sure.. Kane just nodded and straightened his posture.

"Any news on food for the trip?" Monty asked. Kane smirked and kneeled down placing his gun on the ground as he took his big pack off and put it in front of his legs. He opened it showing that it was full of rations. Meat, Crackers, Bars, you name it. He dug out five canteens and handed one to me, Clarke, Bell, Jasper and Monty.

"Sorry, I didn't know you two were coming." He stated to Lincoln and Octavia, standing up after zipping his pack up. They didn't say anything, just showed him that they already have canteens hanging off their pants. "Ah, good."

"That's a lot of rations Kane. You sure we need that much?" Clarke asked motioning to the bag on his back.

"Your mother said that it was worth it. Especially if it doesn't 'backfire'. Her words not mine." Clarke looked down and nodded. I saw Bellamy look at her with concern. I'm not sure what's going on with those two but they're definitely different towards each other than they were when I first landed. Oh well.. Not my business… Yet..

Clarke's P.O.V:

"Well, shall we?" Kane asked us holding his arms out. I nodded and grabbed one of the packs Raven got for us and followed behind Bellamy and Kane. We walked through the quiet camp until we made it to the gate. I stopped and turned around to look at Camp Jaha for the last time. Taking in how perfectly the station had crashed, these people were pretty safe. That's the only reason I'm going through with this. I heard footsteps behind me and looked to my right as they stopped.

"It's for the best princess." Bellamy stated scanning the camp.

"I know." I looked back at the ring towering over the area. "I just hope we really can find a better place for these people."

"Come on you guys. We should get a move on." Monty stated from behind us. We turned around to see the group waiting for us.

"Clarke!" I heard from back at the camp. I turned back around and saw my mom limping towards us.

"Mom what are you doing!?" I said running over to her. When I made it to her she wrapped me up in her arms. I hugged her back and took in the moment, closing my eyes. This could be the last time I ever see her again. No matter what she did she was still my mother. We're a long way from kissing boo boos and story times but this was one half of who I am. I pray she's going to live a long life and I'm positive she's going to be a great leader. We pulled out of the hug and she brushed some hair out of my face.

"Go find us our new home." She stated with a smile. That sentence almost broke me but I had to stay strong. I just nodded with a tight smile and watched her walk to the others. I was confused when she gave Kane a tight hug and especially confused when he wrapped his arms around her too.

"Keep my daughter safe you guys." I heard her say as I walked over to them. Jackson came running over to us as well and helped walk my mother back to the structure. I kept my eye on her the whole time until she disappeared into the station. Possibly seeing her for the last time. This is really happening. I'm starting my new life with 6 delinquents, a grounder and Marcus Kane.

What the hell am I doing?
