Grounder

Clarke

Bellamy's people come back today. I wait in the throne room for Bellamy to join me for breakfast but he never comes.

"Heda, I'm sorry to disturb you."

I look up to the doorway to see Octavia.

"You can come in I was just about to go and look for your brother actually."I smiled.

She sat across from me as Bellamy must of taught her some of our customs.

"That's really good heda."Octavia smiled over my drawing of Polis.
"Thank you and please call me Clarke unless your in front of Titus."I smiled.
"He'd have your head."I joked but Octavia took it a little to seriously.
"I'm joking."I smirked she smiled back.

I noticed she hadn't touched any food from the breakfast feast that was still brought out everyday even though me and Bellamy ate hardly any.

"Help yourself to any food."I say.

She starts to pick up grapes, my favourites nobody else seems to like them apart from Bellamy.

I laughed at her face as she crunches it up tasting the sower juice.

"Lincoln's back."My mum said as she rushed in.

"Bring him hear please mother."I tell her.

She comes back with Lincoln at her side he looks annoyed that I've had him dragged hear. He apologised to me and Bellamy and he even sent me over some pencils so I forgave him easily.

"How are you doing?"I question his as he sits beside Octavia whose still eating food.

"Stop worrying I'm fine."he assures me.

"This is Octavia, she's Bellamy's sister. I want you to train her."I tell him.

He smiles at Octavia and back to me. I can already tell she's going to centre him, make him happier.

"You start training in a week Octavia." She grins at me.

I can tell she's going to be a brave warrior.

I heard shouts outside and I ran out to where the sky people were being brought in with warriors and guards surrounding them. Some of them were happy other were nervous and terrified.

Bellamy runs into his friends who all hug him. Octavia follows and greets a girl with king brown hair.

The acid fog horns go off for the first time in 4 months. I hadn't explained to Bellamy about the signalling of the horn yet.

"Bellamy run."I shouted at him.

I started to walk towards him as he ran to the tower with his friends but I slipped on the mud.

I'm falling over Roans body the blood seeping from his mouth a tear falls from his eyes.

"Show them he'll in Polis."he mutters.

His last words.

My skin is burning and I look at the sky that's falling. I feel my mums arms wrap around me as Bellamy comes to my side and starts to carry me.

He places me down on my throne where my mum rinses me with water.

"What happened why did she suddenly cry like that."I hear Bellamy ask I could tell he was scared and nervous.
For me?

"She had a hallucination."my mum tells him as she continues to rinse water over my arms and legs.

I could already feel the wrath of Bellamy once I was better. I knew he would be upset I didn't tell him about the hallucinations.

"Bellamy is that the grounder?"

I look up to see a boy with goggles staring at me. I hadn't noticed the whole of Polis were in the tower a lot of them in the throne room washing off their clothes.

The boy with goggles leans down to look at me, he thinks I'm unconscious.

"Don't call her that, we're all grounders now and this is Clarke the commander of the 12 clans." Bellamy sneers.

I look at his face and our eyes meet he smiles gently before picking me up in his arms.

"I'll take her to her bed away from all the staring eyes."Bellamy tells my mum.

I feel him carry me to the elevator as it goes up. We enter my room. He places me down in my bed and pulls the duvet over him. I see him scan the room. It's big but I've ruined its beauty by covering it in mess and pictures of the dead and the very few alive.

He approaches a picture and stares at it.

"Bellamy stop." I say a little to harshly not wanting to have to tell him who all the dead people were.

He nodded his head and came to my side.

"Anything I can get you Princess?"

"I need to know all my family are safe Bellamy."I drift off into sleep.
