Ark Kingdom: The Magic Within (Bellarke)

The End

Clarke's POV

I feel Bellamy as he is tugged away from me. I know that he wasn't really here, but I know that his spirit was. He is coming for me. I can't let him find me. If he does then they will hurt him too. I can't let them touch him. "Be strong Clarke. You can do this." I tell myself.

"Rest quickly." The woman who has been dragging me shoves me to the ground by the stream.

"Where are you taking me? What is going to happen to my people?" I ask the woman who is clearly the leader. She turns to look at me.

"What's your name?" She asks. She steps closer to me and a big man lays a hand on her shoulder to stop her. She brushes him off and whispers something in a language that I don't understand. Then she looks back at me.

"Why does my name matter? Just tell me what you plan to do to my people." I glare at her.

"Tell me your name?" She leans closer and pulls out a dagger. "Or I will gut you before you can even blink your eyes."

"Clarke. Who are you?" I stammer.

"Clarke?" She slides the dagger across her chin as if it's helping her mull my name over in her mind.

"Yes. Who are you?" I repeat my question.

"My name is Lexa and I have been waiting for you. It's lucky that you were the leader of your group. If not then that truly would have been a waste. Especially since I sent my warriors to kill all of the others. Imagine how hard it would have been if you were down there. I'd have to run back, stop the fighting, and hope that you hadn't been killed yet."

"Warriors?" Anger and fear course through my veins along with my barely controlled magic. "You said-"

"Yes, I said that I would take you and they would live. Ha! You are really as naïve as I've been told."

"By who?" I ask to keep her talking. I am trying to get the rope that's secured around my wrists loose so I need her distracted.

"Now Clarke, you know I can't give all of my secrets up to you just yet." She laughs and taps me on the nose. Now just remember that-"

A loud sound interrupts her. All of the people around me get matching expressions of fear on their faces.

"My queen, we must run. Now." The big man that tried to stop her earlier lowers a hand to help her up. She takes it and leaps gracefully to her feet.

"Carry the girl. She will slow us down and we must get away before the mountain men get to us." Lexi announces.

"No, just leave me to die. I will not come with you. I'll fight you every step of every-" Lexi flicks her wrist at me and my voice disappears.

"Silence. You will come and you will not fight or I will kill you." She threatens.

I couldn't care less. Why would I want to live without Bellamy and the others?

"We must hurry. They are almost here." Another woman says. "We'll hold them off. Get the girl to our camp."

"Yes, Indra. May we meet again." Lexa says as I am hauled up and flipped over the big man's shoulder. He starts to run causing me to bounce up and down. I squeal the first time and am grateful to hear my voice returned.

"Clarke!" I look up and see Bellamy behind us. He is practically flying to us. The ground below him is bringing him forward faster than we are moving. Within seconds he will be here.

Indra pops out from behind a bush and he just flicks his hand. A rock flies at her. She barely stops it with a quick swipe of her sword. They start to fight, Bellamy using rocks while she slices with her sword. It doesn't take long for her to catch his arm with the tip of her sword. I scream as pain rips through my arm. I look down and see nothing. Bellamy continues to fight as if his arm isn't bleeding like crazy.

A rock slams into Indra's foot causing her to curse and hop on the other.

"Enough! We must go before the mountain men get her. We won't be able to fight them right now." Lexa yells and all of her people freeze. A rock that was hovering over Indra's head crashes down on her. I watch her body go limp as she falls forward.

"You will let her go or I will end you." Bellamy's voice is harsher than I've ever heard it sound.

"You think you can take on all of us?" Lexa laughs and spits at him.

"All of you? No." He stomps his foot and a couple of sinkholes appear beneath Lexa's people. They fall before they can even scream. "You two? Yes, I can."

There are loud stomping sounds and the crunching of leaves as people run into the clearing where we are.

"Forget them. We will get them next time." Lexa tells her giant friend who is currently holding me. He drops me to the ground and starts to run.

"Princess!" Bellamy starts to run to me and I meet him halfway. "I thought you were dead. How could you leave me like that?"

"I'm sorry. I just couldn't let them hurt you. I love you Bell." I touch my lips to his gently.

"I love you, too Princess." He murmurs against my lips. I hear a loud thunk and Bellamy falls against me.

"Clarke?" A man's voice says from behind Bellamy.

"Dad?' I look around Bellamy as he shakes his head and blinks a couple of times. He rubs his head and turns around to block me from the men.

"You finally made it. Where are the others?" He asks and opens his arms to me.

"Some are hiding. Others have been taken." Bellamy says. "How are you alive?"

"It's hard to explain. Who are you?" My dad gives Bellamy a stern look.

"I'm Clarke's husband, Bellamy."

"Husband? Your mother has said nothing about a wedding."

"My mother has said nothing about anything." I spit at him and walk back over to Bellamy.

"Bell, take me to our people." I grab his hand. I know that no matter what comes our way we can take it on together. Be it people from the grave or people from the veil.

"With pleasure." He says and the world spins around us.
