Regina(On Hold) // The 100

011

A few days had gone by since we blew up the bridge, and there had been no signs of Grounder's retaliation. No one knew when they'd come, or if they'd come, but Bellamy made it clear that everyone needed to be prepared.

He was so hellbent on fighting and winning this war, and I would stand with them if it ever came to that. But with the Grounders knowing that Natblida-de kom skai resided with Skaikru, I hoped they'd hold off on slaughtering us. My blood was most likely the reason they had yet to storm our camp.

Clarke and I stood outside the wall, not really keeping watch, but just thinking. Clarke didn't have a weapon in her hands, but I had a sword with me just in case. We never knew what would happen. So much had happened after the bomb at the bridge. For starters, I witnessed Raven break up with Finn. They tried to keep it quiet and stay civil, but I knew they still loved each other. It just was not the way Finn loved Clarke.

The way I love her.

I quickly shook the thought away and told myself that the feeling wasn't real, that I was just messed up from being sick.

I started thinking about something else. I knew I couldn't clear my mind completely, but I could at least control my thoughts. Well, I could at least try to.

We were at war. I needed to think about what the Grounders' next move would be, and with Murphy back in camp, it was not any easier. Bellamy knew we needed all the soldiers he could get and decided to let Murphy stay, but I made it clear what would happen if he even thought about hurting my sister.

"First watch is over. Go relieve Monroe on the south wall," Bellamy spoke from behind us and then approached me and Clarke. "Anything?" he asked as he stood beside me. He looked down at the sword at my waist. I kept a hand on the handle ready for any attack.

Just weeks ago, he felt uneasy whenever I handled my sword in any way, thinking I wanted to either kill him or someone within camp. But after Unity Day when we confronted Anya, and when he found out who I really was, he realized that I would rather hack the head of a Grounder than one of his people.

"It's been two days. Maybe the bomb at the bridge scared them off for good," Clarke said, but she didn't sound so sure.

"One bomb isn't going to scare them away," I told her. "They have the element of surprise, and they just want to wait until we think we're safe."

"But we're not," Bellamy added. I glanced at Clarke. Her expression was blank as she concentrated on the scene in front of us. I tried so hard to turn my gaze off of Clarke, but I admired everything about her. "Jasper thinks he can cook up some more gunpowder if he gets some sulfur," Bellamy said. He turned and began walking down the hill with Clarke and me following. "And Raven says she can turn that into landmines. So be careful where you step," Bellamy joked. It felt nice hearing a little humor during all this.

"Funny," Clarke said, but her tone seemed to give away that she didn't find it funny at all.

"What I really need is 1,000 more of her tin can bombs I can roll into their village and blow those Grounders to hell," Bellamy stated, and as much as I wanted to do that, I never would because of the innocent people in these villages, especially Lincoln's village. Clarke looked at Bellamy with a shocked face as the words left his mouth. "That's what they want to do to us."

"It doesn't matter how many bombs you have," I explained. "The commander has an army larger than what we've been fighting. She will eventually have the armies of all the clans against us." Clarke and Bellamy didn't quite understand, but they knew that we didn't have a big enough army to fight all of them. They've only ever encountered Trikru, but there were 12 clans, all more ruthless than Trikru.
