The First On The Ground

The Other Side

(BELLAMY POV)

"How could you do this? There were only 4 warriors left. Octavia was one of them. She might have won. Then there is still August," I say.

"And they might not have won," Jaha says.

"Bellamy, you're right. She had a chance. But Luna was in the final 4 as well, which means there is an even better chance of nobody getting into this bunker, of nobody surviving the end of the human race. Even if she faced August. August is not invincible. Can you understand that?" Clarke explains.

"Yeah, I can understand it. You did what you think you had to do, like always. But you can't you can't expect me to stay down here not knowing what happened to my sister or August and Mika," I say.

"We're not opening that door, son," Jaha says.
"You know what? I must have missed the election that made you chancellor again," I say.

"I was setting up the infirmary, and I heard people in the corridor," Abby says as she walks into the room. "Is it over? Did we win?"

" We don't know," I answer her.

"Where's Marcus?" Abby asks.

"He was in the tower. We sent some people for him, Bellamy, Octavia, Mika, and August. Bellamy was the only one we could get in time. I'm sorry," Jaha answers.

"Give me your radio. Marcus has his," Abby says.

"The walkies are no good down here," Jaha says before Clarke hits a button on the desk and it opens up. "Clarke."

"I'm letting them say goodbye," Clarke says.

"I understand your need to know, but I promise you there is nothing but more pain on the other side of that radio," Jaha says as he stops Abby. "The radiation levels have become critical, so people outside are already feeling the effects. Once they realize that we took this bunker, it'll be chaos, and if we open that door, we let that chaos inside."

"I understand. Now, get the hell out of my way," Abby says.

"The walkies are set to 21.5 megahertz," I tell her as I set the radio.

"Can anyone hear me? Over. This is Octavia. Can anyone hear me, damn it?" Octavia's voice comes through the radio. She won! That means August is still alive as well.

"O, it's me. You okay?" I ask her.

"August and I are alive. I won," Octavia says. "Bell, what the hell did you do?"

"It wasn't me. But I'll fix it," I tell her.

"Listen to me. When I won, I decided to share the bunker with everyone like August planned to do. A hundred from each clan," Octavia explains before there is static as if she handed the radio to someone.

"Bell, it's August. My father is out there buying us time, helping them select their people, and Gaia somehow convinced the scouts to lock down the temple. But if anybody finds out that Skaikru stole the bunker, we're all dead," August explains. Thank God, she and my sister didn't fight.

"Copy that. I'm on my way," I tell them. The door opens and Miller with two other guards walk in.

"Turn off the radio," Jaha says.

"Thelonious, we can save them," Abby says.
"O, Aug, I'm gonna need some time," I say.

"Wait. What? Bellamy, they don't have t..." August says but Jaha rips the radio away from me.

"Did you hear them? The Grounders are listening to Octavia now, but they won't be for much longer. I am opening that door," I say.

"I'm sorry, but right now, our people are safe. We cannot risk that," Jaha says.
