The 100

Unity Day

"My friends, this is a historic Unity Day," Chancellor Jaha says over the intercom. "Every year, we mark the moment of our ancestors of the 12 stations joined to form The Ark" he went on explaining. "But this is the last time we do while aboard her," He says. "Next year...on the ground" He announced, causing people onto The Ark to clap. "Right. After we did all the work" Miller pointed out. "Someone shut him up" He added. "You shut up, Miller no one's forcing you to watch" Raven pointed out. "Oh, damn she's got you there" I laughed, fist-bumping Raven as Miller walked away. "For 97 years, we have eked out an existence, hoping someday our descendants would return to earth.." I shake my head, knowing I couldn't listen anymore. Woah! Yeah! Monty strikes again!" Jasper cheered, holding up a can of moonshine. "Call this batch Unity Juice! Who's thirsty?" Jasper called out. People crowded around him, holding out cups for him to fill. I watched the TV once again, watching the pageant kids on the screen. The music plays as the girl began explaining the story. Suddenly the TV had gone out, causing me to knit my brows together. It begins to get dark and everyone is drunk. I approached Bellamy, not really spoken to him since we had our kiss. "Hey, the comms are still dead" I informed him as he eats an apple. "They cut out during the pageant" I added. "Best Unity day ever" He joked, causing us both to laugh. "Do you really think now is a good time to be having a party?" I asked, knitting my brows together. "I mean, the grounder is out there--" He cut me off. "The Grounders. By now, he's made it home. He's probably putting a lynch mob together" Bellamy explained. He then pulled me closer to him, wrapping his arms around me "Relax, I got security covered.." he whispered, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. "Why don't you go get a drink?" He suggested, nodding towards where Jasper and my sister are very close together. "You look like you could use one" He smirked. I sighed "I could use more than one" I half-joked. "Then have more than one" He pointed out. I giggled, lowering my head for a moment at his comment. "Shadow, the Exodus ship carrying the people from the Ark comes down here in two days. After that, the party's over" Bellamy pointed out. He cupped my face with both of his hands "Have some fun while you still can" He tells me. "You deserve it" Bellamy added. I think for a moment, everything he was saying is right. "Yeah, Okay" I nodded, placing a kiss on his cheek. "So you do, by the way," I smiled at him. "I'll have my fun when the grounders come" He joked. I rolled my eyes, giggling at him again. "Alright," I say before quickly walking away. Raven gasped, walking up to me "When did that happen?" She asked me. "When did what happen?" I asked, blushing a little bit. "You and Bellamy Blake" She stated. I shake my head "Nothing is happening" I lied. "You are a horrible liar, you like him" She nudged me. I rolled my eyes "I need a drink, that's what I like" I say, grabbing her out of my hand and drinking it down. It burned all the way before I get another.

I let out a giggle as I drink with Clarke. "I'm gonna get this one," I say, almost stumbling over a little. "No, it's not happening" Clarke giggled at me. I bounced the metal piece off the table and it landed in the tiny bowl. "Woah!" The guy next to me cheered. Clarke picked it up, drinking it down fast. She then popped the metal piece out of her mouth. "Well, what do you know Her Highness can actually party" The guy chuckled with the joke. "I like it" He flirted with her. "So what are you gonna do when the guards come down and commandeer Monty's still?" I asked him."Build another" He simply says. Clarke looked over at me "You're pretty...very very Pretty" She smiled at me. "Thank you" I blushed. "You ready?" I asked, pointing to the table. "Yes," She nodded, lifting her head and placing the metal piece on her nose. "No...wait" She says. I snorted out a laugh "Stop Shadow, I have done this before I swear" She says to me. She looked down only for Finn to catch it. "Aw, Party pooper" I frowned. "What is it?" Clarke asked Finn. "Let's take a walk" Finn suggested. "They're in love...Shush" I put my finger to my lips. "Like you are with Bellamy?" Clarke asked me. I gasped "Who told you that?" I looked around "Come on, it doesn't take rocket science to figure it out" Finn smirked. "Jerk..." I rolled my eyes. "You too" Finn pulled me by my arm. "Woah..." I giggled "Did something happen?" Clarke asked. "I need you too both to come with me but I can't tell you why okay?" Finn asked. Clarke jerk away from him "Finn tell us why" Clarke sighed. "I set up a meeting with the grounders" Finn confessed. My eyes went wide "A meeting? What?" I asked. "I don't understand...with who? How?" Clarke asked. "I was just with the grounder that we had in the dropship, He's name is Lincoln" Finn confessed. "Wait for a second...he spoke to you? He knows English?" I asked. "That's not important" Finn pointed out. "If we want to live in peace--" I cut him off. "Finn, we can't live in peace with people who've done nothing but kill us" I pointed out. "Wow...You sound a lot like Bellamy" Finn sighed. "Can you think of a better way to stop the bloodshed?" Finn asked me. "Yeah, With the guns that the guard brings down," Clarke says. "Do you two really want a war. Because at this rate, that's what's coming" Finn explained to us. I huffed folding my hands across my chest "Look. I know it's a long shot. But this is our world now and I think we can do better than the first time around" Finn pointed out. Clarke looked over at me "I trust him.." Finn says. "I don't" I blurted out. "If we go...we have to bring back up" Clarke suggested. "No way, we're not bringing guns. Those weren't the terms" Finn explained. "If we're gonna for this we've got to give it a fair shot" Finn pointed out. "And if they kill us? What fair shot it that?" I asked Finn. "Please Doe?" Finn begged. "Okay, we'll get our pack and meet you at the gate," Clarke tells Finn. Finn nodded as we began to walk away. "Go talk to Bellamy, tell him what's going on," Clarke says. I nodded, walking over to Bellamy's tent to see him stepping out. "Hey. I need to talk to you" I say, walking next to him. "Having fun yet, Kitten?" Bellamy smirked. "I'm serious" I sighed, getting in front of him to make him stop walking. "You always are, so talk," He says, touching my arm. "Finn's set up a meeting with the Grounders" I informed him. "Clarke and I are leaving with him to go talk to them" I added. Bellamy's face said it all, the anger. "Because you figure that impaling people on spears is code of Let's be friends?" He asked. "Have you lost your damn mind?" He asked in a harsh tone. "It might be worth a shot...I mean we do have to live with these people" I pointed out. "They'll probably gut you both and string you up as warning" He shakes his head. "That's why I'm here...We need you to follow us and be our backup" I informed him. "Does Finn know about this?" Bellamy asked me. "Finn doesn't need to know," I tell Bellamy. "Oh...Bellamy? Bring guns" I advised him. I stepped towards him and place a soft kiss on his cheek. "Bye.." I whispered, turning and walking towards my pack before heading towards the entrance.
