Running Through the Darkness (A 100 Fanfic)

Twilight's Last Gleaming (Part Two)

"RAVEN!"

Finn stopped in the clearing, watching Violet run up to somebody with brown hair, jumping into their arms and being twirled around in the air.

"Violet!" She laughed, hugging the little girl.

He breathed deeply, walking towards them, "Raven!" Finn laughed, observing her.

"Finn!" She laughed, letting go of Violet, as she hugged Finn.

"I knew you couldn't be dead." She smiled.
"You're bleeding." Finn looked back at Clarke for a moment, and back to Raven.
"I don't care, it's just a scratch." She pulled Finn into a kiss, as Violet looked up at Clarke, her face changing.
Violet sighed, putting her hand on top of Clarke's, distracting her from the kissing as she blinked, looking at Violet.

"How did you get here?"

"You know that big scrap hold, over on K deck?" Finn looked at the drop pod, admiring it. "You built it from scrap?"
"I kind of rebuilt it."

Finn smiled, nodding his head in admiration.
"Please, like that's hard. Just needed a couple parts and some love."

"You're insane!" Finn breathed.

"Insane? You two- you three survived down here. That, that is insane." She looked over at Violet, her jeans frayed at the bottom. "Has she been with you the whole time?"

"Since day one, she freaked out when we launched."

"I did not!" Violet glared at him, crossing her arms.

"Okaay, I felt bad for her and took her in."

"Exactly." Violet nodded, uncrossing her arms.

Raven coughed, falling back a little as Finn grabbed her arms.

"Come on, sit down. Sit down, here."
She moved, sitting down on a fallen tree, Finn wrapping his jacket around her.

"Let me get something for that, okay?"

He walked over to Clarke, looking at her as she handed him a folded cloth.

"I'm sorry." He whispered, looking at both of them.

"We don't need to talk about it, not in front of a little kid."

"We've known each other our whole lives."

"We don't need to talk about it." She raised her voice a little, following him back towards Raven, Violets hands shoved in her pockets as she followed.

"She needs to keep pressure on the wound."
She held the cloth to her head.

"Thanks."

"This is Clarke. She was on the dropship too."

"Clarke?" She stood up, looking at her, "This is all because of your mom!"
"My mom?"
"This was all her plan! We were trying to come down here together. If we waited- oh, my god."
She paused, taking a deep breath looking between the three others.
"We couldn't wait because the council was voting whether or not to kill three hundred people to save air."
"When?"
"Today! We have to tell them your alive!"

Raven ran over to her pod, the others behind her as she ducked under the door, searching around.
"The radios gone, it must've gotten loose during reentry," she sighed, "I should've strapped it to the A-strut, damn it!" She slammed her fist into the side of the pod. "Stupid!"

"No, no. This is my fault. Someone got here before us, we have to find him."
"Who?"
"Who do you think Violet?" Clarke gave her an annoyed look.
"Come on, he can't be far!"

Clarke ran ahead of them, making her way out of the clearing, once more.
Violet sighed, running after them.
"What'd I miss Violet?" Raven asked her.
She shrugged, "I dunno." She mumbled.
"Girl, you've been on the ground for ten days, you've had to of done something!"
"Nothings changed, I guess. It's just Earth."
Raven sighed, looking ahead of them, "Come on."
Violet sighed, running next to her as Clarke diverted off.

"Hey! Where is it?"
Violet turned behind a tree, seeing her grab Bellamy's shoulder angrily.
"Hey, Princess! Just taking a walk in the woods."
"They're getting ready to kill three hundred people up there! To save oxygen, and I can guarantee you it won't be council members, it'll be working people. Your people!" Clarke jabbed her finger towards him, as Finn and the other two caught up, Finn shoving him as he stumbled back.
"Bellamy. Where's the radio?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about." He raised his voice, shoving Finn back as he knocked into Violet,  causing her to fall into the dirt.

"Bellamy Blake? They're looking everywhere for you."
"Shut up!"
"Looking for him why?" Clarke stared at him, and then looked over at Raven.
"He shot Chancellor Jaha."
"That's why you took the wristbands," Clarke scoffed, "needed everyone to think we're dead!"
"And all that 'whatever the hell we want'? That's bullshit, you just care about saving your own skin." Finn shook his head.

Violet had stood up in the middle of the conversation, her arms crossed, as Bellamy turned to leave being stopped by Raven yelling at him.
"Hey! Shooter! Where's my damn radio?"
"Get out of way!"
"Where is it?"
"I should've killed you when I had the chance."
"Really? Well, I'm right here."
Bellamy huffed, grabbing her by the neck, shoving her into the tree.
The clicking of Ravens pocket knife startled him, as she held it at his face.

"Where's my radio?" She hissed.

"I don't have it, I told you." Bellamy stared at her, as she put the knife down, backing away and turning around.

"Jaha deserved to die. You all know that." Bellamy argued.
"Yeah, he's not my favorite person, either."
He turned, looking at Raven.
"But he isn't dead." She looked at him.
"What?"
"You're a lousy shot."

"Bellamy!" Clarke pushed past the others coming up to him.

"Don't you see what this means? You're not a murderer. You always did what you had to do to protect your sister, that's who you are! And you can do it again, by protecting three hundred of your people.
Where's the radio?" She looked him in the eyes, pleading with him.

"It's too late." He sighed, looking away from her.

"Show us where it is." Bellamy turned towards Violet.
He opened his mouth to speak, being cut short as Clarke grabbed his hand, looking at him.

He sighed, staring at his boots for a second, and back up at the group. "Come on."
