Where We Come From ✅ [Complete]

Chapter 33: Fear

A/N: There is mention of physical abuse so if this is a trigger for anyone it will be marked with ---> ******** It does not go into detail however, I still felt it necessary to warn readers.

Bolded words are spoken in Trigedasleng.

Inside the Alpha's office Ash states, "The Ark will arrive 12 miles south of here. We have to be there. They might need help and the Mountain has just destroyed a station!"

"Not at this hour Ash, it's too dark out now and it'll take about 4 hours walking time for us to reach there." Titus says authoritatively.

"Not if we go on horses, it'll be half the time," Anya states and Titus shakes his head no again. "Anya it is dark outside and we could encounter reapers. I will not take that chance. I prefer to wait for morning. It'll be clear and we'll be able to sense incoming danger easily. I am sorry Ash but I will not send my warriors unnecessarily into the forest," Titus says, enforcing his Alpha decision.

Ash isn't happy and she growls out in frustration and slams her foot on the ground to contradict the Alpha but Raven squeezes her hand and shakes her head from side to side. "El tiene razón mi amor," [He's right, my love] Raven simply tells her and she sighs and doesn't accept. "That's easy for you to say Rae! That Station was -." They hear a knock and then the door opens. It's Clarke, O and Bell.

"The Ark! That was Alpha Station that blew up! We have to go now!" Clarke says. Her eyes are already red with unshed tears. She fears for her mother.

Lexa and Titus reply at the same time, "No!" and Clarke looks at them frowning.

"Why not?" she asks and Lexa intervenes and explains. "As soon as the sun rises, we'll go, I promise," her mate adds warmly and Clarke nods.

"No baby! I'm not, I don't accept that! I'll go by myself if I have to but I have to get there. That Station was the Elite Station - Alpha Station! My mom! My mom!" she says adamantly, shaking her head from side to side as tears slips from her eyes.

Back outside, Ava and four of her personal guards are gathered by the pack house addressing their people. Ava explains that the incoming fireballs are ships from the Sky People. She doesn't go into details however, she tells them that they have made an alliance with their representatives here and that tomorrow, the Alpha along with other guards will go to meet them. She tries her best to placate their fears and for the most part it works. She does, however, ask them not to go into the woods to look for themselves. She advises that reapers could be close to where the ships have landed.

"Babe, I know you want to go but they're right. We'll wait. There really isn't anything that we can do about Alpha Station," Octavia says, cautiously. She doesn't want to upset her mate but she can understand her. The thought of losing your parent, you're only parent is not easy. She also thinks about her aunt and uncle. She turns to see as Ash's face is red with anger and tears spill from her eyes. Raven tries to get close to her but Ash just pushes her away.

"Ash please," Raven says as her mate pushes her one more time. "My parents could be dead Raven! Get out of my way, I'm going one way or the other!" she yells and starts heading out before she feels as Bellamy wraps his arms around her.

"Ashley you are not going! I understand what you're feeling. You're not the only one who stands to lose them as well. Octavia and I feel the same way," he says as he gently strokes her back and feels as her body shakes while she cries. "I promise you that as soon as the sun rises, we're heading towards them. Trust me, please," he says softly and feels as she wraps her arms around his waist.
