Can We Be Mountain Men? - Book 2 (The 100 Season 2)

Human Trials - Part 1

Clarke and Alia were in and out of consciousness as they were each dragged into the camp, people asking them questions, but they were unable to answer. Alia glanced over at Clarke before blacking out again.

Alia slowly opened her eyes, groaning as light entered them.

"Hey, you're okay," Abby told her gently.

"Where... What...?"

"You're at what's left of the Ark. I'm-"

"Abby Griffin. I know."

"Alia Jasso, right?" She nodded. "We got you into some new clothes and got all the mud off. You're in a lot better shape than I thought. The cut on your shoulder's been bandaged, the smaller cuts cleaned. You have stitches on your knee which seems like it's not the first time."

"No. The third time being stitched in the past few days."

"Well, you might have a small limp, but it should heal fine overtime." They turned as they heard Clarke start to stir.

"We made it," Clarke said and Alia nodded, reaching across and holding her hand. "I thought you got thrown off the council," she continued, looking at the pin on Abby's jacket.

"Oh. It's the chancellor's pin."

"You?"

"Yeah," she chuckled. "Thelonius didn't make it and Kane left two days ago to try to make peace with the Grounders to get you and the others back."

"I told you, the Grounders don't have us." She looked around. "How long have we been asleep?"

"About ten hours."

"Okay," she said, letting go of Alia's hand and starting to sit up, Alia doing the same.

"Clarke, slow down. Hey," she stopped both of them, "it's too soon."

"Mom, we need to move against Mount Weather. How many guards are here? Where are Finn and Bellamy?"

"Bella- What are you talking about?" Alia asked.

"They're alive."

"No. That's... That's not possible. The fire. They were-"

"They made it. Them and four others. Zoe Monroe, Sterling, John Murphy, and Raven."

"Raven and John made it too?" Abby nodded. Alia struggled to wrap her head around everything as Clarke tried to get up again.

"Clarke, please, you need to rest."

"I don't need to rest. I'm fine. And I don't need you to protect me. What I need is to save my friends. Alia?"

"Uh, yeah. Yeah," she shook her head, testing her weight on her leg.

"Ma'am," Byrne walked in, "movement in the north woods."

"Grounders?"

"I don't think so," she smiled. They made their way out of the tent, Abby going to the gate while Alia and Clarke stopped as they saw Raven sitting outside.

"Hi," Clarke let out.

"I've been waiting out here all night," Raven hugged her before hugging Alia tightly. "Abby said you guys needed sleep." They looked down to see her leg in a brace, a crutch at her side.

"Raven, I-"

"Sucks, but I'm dealing with it," she cut Clarke off. "Besides, I'm not the only cripple," she looked at Alia who was leaning on her weight on her left leg. They turned as they heard the gate open.
