Chapter 6

'How long has Lincoln been a reaper?' I asked Bellamy as we hiked towards the dropship.

'No idea. When we saw him, he already turned.' He paused for a moment, 'Reyes, I'm sorry about the whole Raven thing.'

I shook my head, 'It's fine, really. It's none of my business anyways.'

Bellamy stepped in front of me as he stopped to look at me, 'It's been bothering me since you mentioned it and I shouldn't have done it.'

'Blake, it's okay.'

'It's not okay. I hurt you and confused you all this time. It was wrong for me to do that.'

A sudden scream echoed through the woods, we immediately knew who it was. As we quickly ran into the dropship, Lincoln struggled as he tempted to get out of the chains he was tied down to.

'O, are you alright?' Bellamy rushed to his sister, hugging her.

She nodded, 'Yeah sorry. It startled me a little bit.'

As I observed Lincoln, I notice a mark on his neck. 'Guys, I'm not really an expert on these things but someone probably turned him with some injection.'

'So, like a needle?' Octavia questioned and I nodded with a response.

'We're probably going to have to wait until it's out of his system.' Bellamy said. 'The real question is how long it'll take for him to be back to normal.'

Octavia's facial expression changed, 'I'm going to get some fresh air.'

As I watched Octavia leave the dropship, I checked up on Lincoln. 'You should've brought Clarke or Abby. They could help us.'

'Maybe, but I wanted to see you.'

I sighed, starring at the floor without responding to him.

'What's wrong? I thought you missed me too.' He chuckled.

'It's not that. It's just that–'

'You don't trust me?'

I met my eyes with his, 'Uhm can we do this later? I don't think it's the right time.'

With a slight disappointing look on his face, Bellamy nodded. 'Ah yeah, of course.'

The hatch opened as Octavia came back but she wasn't alone. A familiar grounder climbed up with her.

Bellamy quickly picked up a gun from the ground, aiming straight to the grounder.

'He's a healer and Lincoln's friend, Nyko. Put your gun down, Bell.' Octavia spoke calmly.

As Bellamy slowly put the gun down, Nyko approached Lincoln. 'Reaper...'

'Can you heal him?' I asked.

'It's impossible.'

The hatch opened again, this time it was Clarke. 'What's going on here?'

'Wait, how did you know we were here?' Before Clarke answered my question, Lincoln started shaking unconditionally and foam came out of his mouth.

'He's seizing. Untie him and put him on the floor.' Clarke ordered. Bellamy and Octavia untied the chain off of him, slowly setting him on the floor.

Clarke checked on him, then he stopped moving and eventually stopped breathing as well.

'Lincoln...' Octavia's voice cracked as she called out his name.

Performing chest compressions, Clarke continued to try to get Lincoln back. A couple of minutes later, Lincoln gasped for air as he started breathing again.

'How is this possible!?' Nyko said. 'Reapers never turn back and they usually die.'

Clarke quickly stood up, 'That's it. This is how we can stop the attack.'

Her plan was to talk to the commander of the grounders that she knew how to cure the reapers. Even though it's a long shot, we had no other choice and it was better to try than to give up. We had nowhere else to go and we had to do anything to save our people.

As Octavia caressed Lincoln, he slowly stopped breathing again. We all paused, watching Lincoln lay there still. We couldn't let him die, for so many reasons.

Immediately, Octavia started performing chest compressions, hoping that he will open his eyes again.

'Shit...' Bellamy blurted.

There must be something I can do to help, I thought to myself as I looked around the dropship for anything. The stun stick caught my eye; I can use it as a defibrillator. It probably wouldn't work but it was worth a shot.

Quickly, I grabbed the stun stick and walked over to Lincoln.

'Reyes, what are you doing?' Bellamy asked curiously.

'Here goes nothing...' I whispered to myself as I activated the stun stick and held it towards Lincoln's heart.

Lincoln's eyes shot wide open as he exhaled to catch his breath. Octavia quickly hovered over him, crying tears of joy.

As everyone turned around to the sound of the hatch opening, Clarke came back along with two other grounders. Their jaw dropped, not believing what they were seeing.

'Who cured him?' One of the grounder asked.

Octavia looked at me and smiled. 'It was Y/N.'

'Well, Y/N of the sky people, can I talk to you in private please?' She asked politely before we both exited the dropship.

'I am Lexa, the commander of Trikru.' she introduces herself. 'I didn't think it was true but you did it. I can call truce but for only one condition.'

I nodded, 'Anything.'

'We want the person you call Finn in our hands. Then the truce may begin.'

✤ · ✤ · ✤ · ✤ · ✤

The whole walk back to Camp Jaha, I though of ways we can avoid the attack without giving Finn away to the grounders. After the meeting with Lexa, everyone was curious if whether or not Clarke's plan worked; but how was I supposed to tell them that they wanted Finn in exchange of keeping our home?

After a long walk from the dropship, we were finally back at Camp Jaha. Everyone crowded around us, hoping for good news about the attack.

'What did the grounders say? Are we going to be safe?' The crowd started shouting, wanting answers.

'They will only call truce in one condition...' I paused, not wanting to say the words that was going to come out of my mouth. 'They want Finn...'

The crowd started mumbling, as they all talked at the same time. 'Let them have him. It's his fault in the first place.'

Majority of the crowd agreed as they demanded for Finn to be taken by the grounders.

Raven became furious as she walked up to a random person and threw a punch. The guards tried to hold her down but got punched by her instead.

'Lock her up.' I heard someone order the guards as she was grabbed by two men.

'This is crazy. You don't have to take her.' I tried defending my sister.

Raven looked at me with a reassuring smile as she was taken away into the dropship.
