The First On The Ground

Human Trials

(AUGUST POV)

Two guards are dragging Clarke behind me as we are escorted to camp. I'm in front because I am able to walk.

"Secure the perimeter! Teams of 3! Open the gate!" The lady guard orders. "How many of you are there?" She turns to me and Clarke. Clarke blacks out again.

"Just us three, but only one of is a grounder," I answer before I get punched in the face.

"Let's go!" The lady guard says.

"We gotta get her to medical," A man says and I see Abby up ahead.

"Abby!" I call out to her.

"Oh my god, August," Abby says as she pulls me into a hug. She hasn't seen Clarke yet. I turn so she would be able to see Clarke. "Wait."

"Once the prisoner is secured," The lady guard says.

"She's not a prisoner. She's my daughter. Clarke," Abby says as she runs over and bends in front of Clarke.

"Mom?" Clarke says before she blacks out again. The guards let me go before Abby and I take Clarke to the medical tent.

"I need saline and a pressure dressing," Abby tells Jackson.

"I'm on it," Jackson says.

"Okay, honey," Abby says as she moves Clarke's hair from her face.

"I saw your ship crash," Clarke says as she wakes up and looks at Abby.

"I wasn't on it. I'm right here," Abby tells Clarke.

"Is she all right?" The lady guard asks as she walks in.

"She will be," Abby answers.

"I'm sorry, ma'am. We had no idea who they were," The lady guard says and I roll my eyes. "Where have you been?"

"Byrne," Abby says.

"Mount Weather," Clarke answers.

"The Grounders took you to Mount Weather?" Byrne asks.

"No. The Mountain Men. We have to get them out," Clarke says as she sits up.

"We're not doing this right now," Abby tells Byrne.

"Yes, ma'am," Byrne says before leaving.

"Clarke," Abby says.

"Mom. Did anyone else make it here?" Clarke asks and I walk over to them. "Yes. Six of you did," Abby answers.

"Finn and Bellamy?" I ask and Abby nods. Clarke and I both gasp.

"I thought they were dead. I thought you were dead. I thought you were dead," Clarke cries. Abby kisses Clarke's forehead before wrapping her in a hug.

"Not me. I'm right here," Abby says. Clarke lies back down and eventually blacks out once again.

"Who else is here?" I ask Abby as she cleans Clarke's wounds.

"Raven is the only remaining one. The rest are looking for Clarke and the others. Everyone thought that you were dead, especially Bellamy," Abby answers.

"He had every right to think that. I'm going to find Raven. Let me know when she wakes up, please," I say.

"August, you may want to wipe your face off, if you don't want trouble. Your father made it but he's not here," Abby says. I nod before grabbing a rag and wiping the paint off of my face. I then leave the tent to find Raven. As soon as I leave the tent I am face to face with Raven.

"Raven, oh my god," I say as I wrap her in a hug.

"I knew you couldn't be dead," Raven says as she pulls away.
