Becoming Air (The 100)

Chapter Fourteen

"But-"

Bellamy's question was cut off as the hatch opened again, and Clark came up the stairs, Finn following behind.

"I always knew you were a monster." Clark spoke standing in front of Arlean. Arlean lowered her head, staring at the ground.

"Look at me!" Clark yelled, hitting Arlean in the stomach. She grunted, but lifted her head. Bellamy's throat tightened as he watched Clark take a step closer.

"You tried to kill my best friend, Arlean. You're a murderer and dangerous."

"I didn't do anything." Arlean hissed.

"We all know it was you. The knife slice across his chest? We all know you carry those knives around with you. And you have a burning hatred for Wells, it makes sense you would try to kill him."

"Finn, you saw me. You were there with me, there's no way I could've attacked Wells." Arlean slid her gaze to him.

"I didn't really see. I had my back conveniently turned at that time, Arlean. It all sort of adds up." Finn's voice hardened.

"But I didn't do it!" Arlean shouted, earning her a punch to the face.

"Stop!" Bellamy yelled. "Don't! She didn't do it."

Clark laughed. "A likely story. You were most likely involved with it."

"He didn't do anything, Clark, you have to know that. Let him go." Arlean said, gripping her restraints.

"Oh neither of you are going anywhere." Clark faced them with her hands on her hips. "As the new and official leader of the 100, we've all come to agreement that you two criminals should be banished."

"Are you kidding me!" Arlean yelled. Clark kicked her in the ribs, and she went down as far as the restraints would allow her, gasping.

"Stop!" Bellamy yelled again.

"I'm going to enjoy delivering you two to the grounders," Clark glared at them.

"What?" Bellamy asked grappling with what she just said. "You're doing what?"

"Yeah." She smiled darkly, "You're going to be a peace offering if you will, to the grounders."
