SEASON 7 IS HERE! I won't talk about the first episode in case some of you haven't seen it… but it was AWESOME! I am very worried about a certain character (those who have seen it will know who I'm talking about) and I hope they're okay! PLEASE NO SPOILERS IN THE REVIEWS BECAUSE THEY WILL BE DELETED BY ME! Enjoy the next chapter IT'S MY FAVORITE ONE SO FAR! :)

Reviews:

GinnyWeasley09:Ok this might be a long review so get ready. I love this story. Instead of doing my school work, I decided to read it and that was a great idea! I think you portrayed the characters perfectly, especially Murphy and Bellamy. I really like how you are doing Murphy's redemption arc, and Bellamy and Clarke's relationship. Also, Raven and Murphy are so cute together and I've always shipped them, this story is doing it right. After the first episode of season 7-which by the way it was awesome- I like Murphy even more. Bellamy and Clarke better get together soon, in the show and this fic, but I like how you didn't make them fall in love right at the beginning of the story. Can't wait for the next chapter!

Answer:Thank you so much for the kind words! I always enjoy hearing that I'm writing characters in a good way ESPECIALLY Murphy because his character is not easy to write (especially the way I'm writing him). I too have always loved the Murven ship. I agree BELLARKE NEEDS to happen soon.

Chapter 12: Charger

Bellamy's P.O.V:

I hate when Clarke's mad at me. It's happened more than once.. When we first landed and I had the 'whatever the hell you want' mentality. When I threw away the radio Raven brought down... then again, everyone was mad at me for that. I know I still hate myself for it. However, this is the first time it really hurts. Is it so hard for Clarke to understand that I can't lose her? I need her. As my co-leader.. My friend.. Hell, maybe I need her to be more than that. When she told me back at Arkadia that she was leaving I instantly tried to imagine what life would be like without her.. it would definitely change me. Clarke keeps me centered. Without her I would have been executed the second Jaha came down here. I have no doubt in my mind that if I knew Clarke back on the Ark I never would have shot him. She wouldn't have let me. It's kind of funny whenever I think about how much I've learned from a person I've only known for 2 months.. how much she has changed me and how much I care about her. I realized I was lagging behind the others with only Warin next to me, panting away. I looked up from the wolf and noticed we were in the heart of the wasteland; small, broken, shops on either side of us. Octavia and Monty were calling out for Murphy, Raven and Kane with Jasper calling out 'losers!' every now and then.. At least he's contributing. My attention turned to Clarke who was peering into the windows of the shops she passed to see if our friends were in them. I knew I had to fix things with her soon. Obviously right now my main focus has to be finding our missing friends. So Warin and I caught up to the others.

"Where could they have gone?" Monty asked after not receiving any answers from his last call out to Raven.

"The wasteland is known for having many secrets within it." Lincoln stated.

"Oooo eerie.. So they could be in a dungeon right now?" Jasper joked, earning him a punch to the shoulder from Octavia.

"We're not leaving until we find them." Clarke stated, rejoining the group.

"Of course not." I agreed, she didn't look at me. You see, usually when I agree with Clarke she looks at me, sometimes she even gives off her beautiful smile, to acknowledge me. I swallowed the hurt down and just kept looking.

Eventually we made it to a 3 story condominium of some sort. It was in relatively good condition, minus it being caved into itself right in the middle of the building. We walked towards it, slowly. We heard a banging noise coming from, what seemed like underneath us.

"Alright, weapons up." I stated, hearing Jasper flip his gun off safety and Lincoln and Octavia unsheathing their blades. I decided that it would be ridiculous for the banging to be coming from underground so I lead everyone around the condominium hoping to find an entrance. We made it to the backside of the building. I was focused on my rifle's scope, aiming through the windows in case anyone was in there ready to pounce.

"Bellamy, watch out!" I heard my sister say. I looked at her and noticed she was pointing a finger in front of me. I looked down and saw a hole. It wasn't big.. Maybe three feet wide. I crouched down to try and look into it but it was pitch black. I started to hear cracking so I tried to stay as still as possible.

"Bellamy, get away from it.." Clarke said. I tried slowly standing up but there was another crack. I looked over at the group and saw Lincoln and Monty holding their hands out for me. I slowly reached for them but I must have shifted my weight too much because I just remember feeling nothing under my feet and falling into the abyss. I heard Clarke and Octavia shout "NO!" as well as barking from Warin before I landed on my back with a grunt, staring up at the sunlight coming through the hole I just fell in. I heard footsteps running over to me so I tried feeling around for my gun but it must have fallen into the darkness.

"Bellamy?" As soon as I heard Kane's voice I let out a sigh of relief and accepted his hand to help me to my feet.

"Don't worry you get used to the whole falling into a hole thing.." Murphy said with a smirk, handing me my rifle.

"Bellamy!? Are you okay!?" I heard Octavia shout from above.

"Yeah! I'm fine! The other three are down here too!" I answered them.

"There's an entrance to us on the west side of the building! It's a ramp down to a garage!" Kane shouted to them and I heard their footsteps follow his orders.

"Where are we?" I asked.

"Perfect timing." I heard Raven say from the darkness. "Please work.." she said to herself. Safe to say I was as confused as you are.. Probably.. I heard a ZAP and then some sort of flickering noise. One by one overhead lights flicked on. We all had to cover our eyes to get used to the new bright light and once I did and moved my hand from over my face I took in where we were… An underground parking lot filled with dusty cars and pick up trucks and motorbikes.. I couldn't help but smile at the sight. We've always learned about automobiles and here they are right in front of us. 97 years ago these very vehicles would take kids to school and adults to work. People would laugh in them.. and cry.. They would take them away to better lives. I looked around at the others' reactions and they were similar to mine. Smiles. I walked over to a dusty pickup and trailed my fingers over the badge on the front.. 'F-O-R-D'.

"I have waited years to actually study the mechanics of one of these things! Not just on paper." Raven said excitedly, trying to open the driver side door of each vehicle she passed but to no avail.

"This is really cool and all Raven, seriously, but we don't have time for this. We have to keep moving." I said taking in the surrounding cars again.

"We don't have time to see if there's a way we can get to Calgary in a matter of days instead of weeks?" She asked, giving up on the locked doors and walking up to me with a smirk.

"What are you talking about?" I asked squinting my eyes at her. I heard the garage door open behind us but kept my gaze on her.

"Think about it Bellamy. If I can get one of these things working.. It will benefit us hugely." I looked back at the line of cars on either side of me. The garage door slammed behind us and I looked in the direction watching as the others turned the corner and went wide eyed. I couldn't help but chuckle at how they all had similar facial expressions. Lincoln looked very confused.

"The parking garage for the condominium." Monty stated, dragging a finger across the hood of a muscle car. "I've been waiting years to study one of these combustion engines in the flesh!"

"Right!?" Raven agreed.

"I'm surrounded by nerds!" Jasper exclaimed, his voice echoing a bit.

"Hey this one's unlocked!" Murphy shouted from the other side of the lot. We walked over, our footsteps echoing as if we were in an office building. When we reached him I saw a car covered in a tarp. Murphy just had one side of the tarp off to reveal the driver side door.

"Yes!" Raven exclaimed, it was nice seeing her happy. "Lets see what we got here." Her, Monty, Murphy and Octavia removed the tarp from the car to reveal a white 4 door with a sort of spoiler on the back. It had black interior and a black.. grill? I don't know much about cars but this one was nice. I did a full circle around the car and took note of the words CHARGER and SRT in chrome badges on the back. Raven sat in the driver seat and put her hands on the steering wheel cracking the widest smile I have ever seen on a person. I looked over at Murphy and saw him smile.. But it seemed like he was smiling at her. Kane walked over to the passenger side door and opened it. He sat in the seat and started going through all the compartments in the car to find anything of use. That's when I felt someone walk up next to me. I looked over to see Clarke. She motioned her head to the side so I nodded and followed her away from the group. We made our way behind a van and leaned up against it. Warin followed us and I gave him a quick pat before turning to Clarke.

"What do you think about all this?" She asked, but I knew that's not what she really wanted to talk about.

"We'll let Raven work on getting it running.. But just for a day. If the scouts in the trees heard or saw that we were here and killed some of their people we're screwed." She nodded in agreement and leaned against the van with a sigh. We turned our gaze to Murphy and Kane trying to pry an SUV's door open. Clarke slowly turned her attention back to me.

"And what do yo-"

"Let's address the elephant in the room Clarke." I said getting fed up already of her juggling around it. "You didn't actually think I'd have let you go with Enton do you?"

"I saw an option.. An option that could have ended with you guys and Arkadia finally living a peaceful life." She stated as if it were rehearsed in her head. I lightly slammed my hand against the side of the van.

"It's not an option if it includes you dying." She shook her head at that.

"Sometimes we have to make sacrifices for our friends."

"What, like we did in Mount Weather?" As soon as the words left my lips I instantly regretted it. Her body twitched as if she had been punched and her mouth bobbed up and down trying to find words. Her eyes became instantly watery. "Clarke.. I'm sorry. I just.. I need you to know.." I started choking on my words as she looked up at me with those beaming blue eyes. I knew I wouldn't get anything else out looking at her gorgeous face pleading for me to continue so I looked at the busted mirror hanging off the van and took a deep breath. I turned my gaze back to her, "I need you to know how important you are to me. I can't.. do this without you." She looked down then back up at me with a small smile.

"I know the feeling." She said smiling wider and I returned it slowly. Her smile fell as it seemed like she realized something. "If I was in your position and it was you they were after.. I'd have done the same thing." I smiled again at that and she cracked one back. I was happy we were on the same page again. I wanted nothing more in that moment than to hug her just because I could.. So I did. I always loved the feeling of Clarke in my arms. She hugged me tighter and I closed my eyes enjoying the embrace. Monty called from the car.

"Check this out!" We went over to see Ravens legs sticking out from underneath it. Octavia and Lincoln walked over as well seeming a little nervous for some reason. Monty was using the hood as a table looking at some sort of book. It had a picture of the car mid-drive on the cover. "2014 Dodge Charger SRT8" He read, "enjoy 470 horsepower in style with this muscle car that can be used to race.. And then pick up the kids from soccer practice right after." Monty chuckled at that. Raven scooted out from under the car and stood up.

"470 horsies huh? Not bad for a sedan." She picked up the book, "A sedan that weighs 4,364 pounds." She flipped the book to look at the cover her arms were already covered in, what looked like dried up oil. "Where'd you find this Monty?"

"In the glove compartment. It was in a leather pouch with the logo on the front."

"Huh.. Must have come with the car." She flipped through it and her eyes went wide. "Good job Monty! Everything we need to know is in here.. What kind and how much fluid I need for the transmission and oil as well as an entire schematic of the fuses and a hell of a lot more."

"Just gonna pretend I know what all of that means… To Monty!" Jasper said holding a bottle up to the air and drinking it. I rolled my eyes at him and walked over to Murphy and Kane still trying to pry open the door to a gold SUV using metal stakes.

"Okay I'll pull from the top you pull from the bottom." Kane suggested.

"We already tried that, man. It's not budging." Murphy said and Kane sighed and noticed me when he turned around. "Bellamy, have they found anything in that one?" He asked motioning to the Charger. I shook my head.

"Just some sort of information book about it."

"Yeah? Does it have any information about how to get into them when they're locked?" Murphy asked, giving a kick to the door of the sedan.

"No.. considering that would ruin the point of a lock." I stated sharing an amused look with Kane and earning a middle finger from Murphy. Kane spoke,

"Well now that you're here I'm sure with the three of us we can get in-"

SMASHHHHH!

Kane and I snapped our eyes to Murphy who had thrown his stake through the window of the car. He smirked as he reached in and pulled the lock up, opening the door afterwards.

"Or… we could just break the window." Murphy said, giving another smirk as he sat in the passenger seat and got to work opening the glove compartment. I walked behind the car.

"Open the trunk." I ordered with my hand ready to lift the trunk open.

"Uhhh right.. The trunk.." Murphy said looking around the car for a button or something. Kane walked around to the drivers side and got in with Murphy to help look.

"Oh you got one open?" Raven said walking over as she wiped her hands on a rag.

"How ever did you know?" Murphy asked sarcastically as he flicked a piece of the shattered window off the door.

"Probably has something to do with the loud smash I heard." She said, raising an eyebrow at him. It's weird seeing them get along but nice at the same time.

"We're trying to open the trunk." I said jiggling the handle. She walked to the drivers side and looked around. It wasn't even a minute before she emerged with a smirk.

"It's probably the big button with a picture of a car with the trunk open.. Just a guess.." She pressed it and the trunk popped open, "huh! How about that?" As I opened the trunk I froze with my eyes wide open at what I saw. Boxes and suitcases all piled up.

"Oh my God!" Kane stated when he walked around to the back with Raven, who gasped.

"What is it?" Murphy asked, giving up on the glove compartment and walking over to us, stopping in his tracks when he saw what we were looking at.

"Now, let's not get our hopes up.. Could be boxes of nothing useful." I said not wanting to get too excited. Murphy started digging into one, eventually tearing it open and smiling.

"Does this look like nothing to you Bellamy?" He asked moving out of the way so we could see.

"Water.." Raven said breathlessly at the two massive jugs of water taking up the whole box. I heard Kane unzip the suitcase.

"And that's not all.." We looked over into the suitcase and saw clothes.. WINTER clothes.

"We're good." Murphy said, picking up a blue winter jacket.

"These probably won't fit everyone but it's a good start." Kane said with a smile.

"The owners must have been packing up to leave before the bombs hit.. Guess they never made it to the car." I said feeling sorrow.

"Everyone! Get your asses over here and check this out!" Raven called out.

Raven's P.O.V (5pm):

While everyone was going through the clothes and filling their bottles with water, Monty and I got to work on the car. I was… Elated to say the least. Sitting in the driver's seat of an actual car has been one of my dreams, let alone actually driving one which might happen.

"No signs of corrosion in the engine. Just lots of dried up fluids around some of the parts." Monty said from behind the hood. I got out of the seat and gently closed the door.

"Of course there's no corrosion.. This place literally survived the apocalypse." I stated as I walked to him and admired the engine. "So what's up with the dried fluids emerging from these parts?" I asked pointing to the parts where it looks like fluids have been seeping out.

"Cars weren't meant to sit for long periods of time.. After sitting for so long and not running through all the components in the car the fluids go bad." He answered and it clicked with me immediately.

"Hmm.. and I guess air slowly fills up the spaces where the fluids are and push em out.. Alright. So I need to drain all the fluids and we need to somehow find new ones which…"

"Will not be easy.." He finished the sentence for me. "Lucky for you I'm going to try and think of alternatives we can use."

"Ah see there's that scientist brain I needed for this." We shared a quick smile and got to work. The first thing I needed to do was try and get that battery working. I opened a cap on the battery and saw a groove where, I'm assuming, water goes. I sighed in relief that car batteries were just like batteries we used for the air purifiers back on the Ark. "Alright so we need water for the battery.. But that won't be enough I'm guessing.." Monty leaned over to where I was to get a better look at the battery.

"It might. But you need more than just water in that grove. It's an electrolyte for the battery so you're also gonna need sulfuric acid. I'm sure just putting water in wouldn't hurt but you're gonna need a bigger charge."

"Jeez why do they gotta add chemistry to my mechanics. It's just rude!"

"Hey! I quite like chemistry." Monty said, frowning.

"Eh it was just a joke Green." I said and he just nodded and got back to studying the fluids.

"Sup nerds?" Murphy said coming out of nowhere, making Monty jump. I smirked at him and just grabbed the water bottle in his hands. "Hey!" I poured a little bit in the battery and handed it back to him.

"Was that so hard?" I asked with a pouty face.

"Ever heard of asking nicely Reyes?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh I know how to ask.. Just only to people who I care enough to do so to." He smirked at that. For some reason I stopped hating his smirk and actually started finding comfort in it. It reminds me that, even though we're all being hunted by savages and far away from the only other civilized people on this planet, we can still joke around and be happy.

"Hellloooo, earth to Raven." Murphy stated snapping his fingers in my face. I shook my head realizing I was staring and focused on putting the cap back on the battery, which seemed to be the hardest thing to do in that moment with him there. "I asked if there was anything I could do to help."

"Don't worry Raven. I couldn't believe it either." Monty said chuckling to himself.

"Can it kid before I knock you out with my flask." He said and I gave him a death stare. He raised his hands in surrender and added, "In a non-painful way."

"You want to help? Look around the entire car for any places where fluids could go. Press buttons if you have to, it won't do any harm." I stated and he saluted me.

"Aye aye cap'n" With that he started looking around and I got back to work with Monty on alternatives for the fluids we need.

It wasn't long before Murphy pressed a button inside the car that popped the gas cap open. The three of us heard something hit the floor followed by a shimmering noise. I didn't think much of it so I continued working until Murphy walked over to Monty and I, who were under the hood opening the radiator cap.

"Hey what's this?" He asked, holding something in his hand. I looked down at it and sure enough IT WAS THE KEY FOB TO THE CAR! You cannot make this up.. Murphy found…

"The keys!" I said breathlessly.

"No way." Monty said

"Where did you find them?" I asked.

"They were in this cap near the back.. I assume I did good?"

"Yes you did good you idiot! I could kiss you!" I exclaimed, earning a smirk.

"C'mon Reyes not in front of the kid." He said motioning to Monty. I rolled my eyes and smiled after.

"We're the same age!" Monty exclaimed with the cap in his hands.

"Come on guys let's see if this battery will work." I said fast-walking to the drivers door and opening it. I put the key fob in the cup holder and took a deep breath. The two boys were resting their arms on the roof and peering in, giving me supportive looks. I smiled quickly at them. I pressed the "START" button next to the steering wheel and…. Nothing.. I tried again and nothing again…. Dammit!

This is officially the longest chapter I've ever written and my favorite one so far! I was going to write more but just realized how long it already is haha. I went back to all my old chapters and made a few corrections and edits so I hope you guys enjoy the new underlined "p.o.v" texts! See you in the next chapter! 3
