On the Ground

Contents Under Pressure

    It had stormed all night. I stayed up in the 3rd level with Miller, Monty, Japser, Octavia, Harper and Monroe. There were a few others but I didn't know their names. Jasper and Monty had left earlier though as well as Miller. Raven had been working non stop to fix the radio. "She got it!" I heard someone yell below. I got up and skipped around the sleeping delinquents who had started waking up. I skirted down the ladder quickly. Clarke stood over Finn still but was talking to Raven. Plenty of others had made their way in the drop ship as the storm increased. Raven got the radio to work. "Hold it back!" A guy yelled as the tarp covering the entrance blew violently in the wind. Clarke looked outside as the guys fought the tarp protecting the inside of the drop ship. I walked over to watch Finn. He was still unconcious and had some cloth wrapped around the dagger in his side. "This is Raven Reyes. Calling Ark Station." Raven yelled into the speaker. "Come in Ark Station. This is Raven Reyes. Calling Ark Station. Please come in."  Raven continued. "Are you sure its the right frequency?" A girl asked Raven. Raven didn't even look at her, "Yeah, I'm sure." Clarke came towards us. "Raven? You can do this." She said. Raven nodded and continued again. Clarke came over and checked Finn's wound again. "Calling Ark Station. This is Raven Reyes. Please come in. Are you there?" Raven asked. "Please... calling Ark Station. The hundred are alive." Raven said. A voice responded finally. "This is a restricted station. Who is this? Please identify your self." He asked. I moved to stand by Raven. "This is Raven Reyes. I-I'm from Mecha Station. I'm transmitting from the ground. The hundred are alive. Please, you need to get Dr. Abby Griffin. Dr. Abby Griffin. Now." Raven yelled as the storm got louder. "Hang on Raven, we are trying to boost your signal." The guy said. After a minute we heard, "Raven? Are you there?" from Abby Griffin. Clarke ran to the radio. "Mom? Mom its me." Clarke said. "Clarke?" Abby asked. Clarke ignored her. "Mom, I need your help. One of our people was stabbed by a grounder." Clarke informed. "Clarke. This is the Chancellor. Are you saying there are survivors on the ground?" Chancellor Jaha asked. "Yes, Earth is survivable. We are not alone." Clarke looked around at us. "Mom, he's dying. The knife is still in his chest." Clarke looked over to Finn. Abby could still slighty be heard as she talked to others. "Can you patch me through to medical?" She asked. "Clarke? Is my son with you?" Jaha asked. "I'm so sorry. Wells is- Wells is dead." Clarke looked down. No one spoke for a minute. "I'm going to talk you through it. Step by step." Abby said. Clarke moved over towards Finn. The drop ship creaked loudly. "Clarke...just...find.." The static got worse till Abby couldn't be heard. "What?! Raven whats wrong?" Clarke panicked. "Its not the radio! Its the storm!" Raven yelled, fumbling around for a signal. "Clarke we need to hurry!" Abby announced. Octavia walked in drenched and limping with some containers. Clarke grabbed one and took a wiff. "Ugh. Monty's moonshine?" She asked. Octavia smirked. "Pretty sure no germ could survive it." She said as Clarke poured some on her hands. The wind blew harder. "Storm's getting worse. Monroe, close the doors." Clarke ordered. "But we still have people out there!" Monroe shouted. "Monty and Jasper still aren't back yet. Neither is Bellamy." Octavia said. "It's okay! They will find somewhere to ride out the storm!" Clarke said to Octavia. "Move, move, move." Raven said Clarke turned to see Raven holding out a needle to her. "One stitching needle." She announced. Clarke grabbed it and handed it to me. "Great, I still need something to close the wound." She said, looking around. Octavia stepped forward. "There's some wire on the second level. I used it for tents." She suggested. Clarke nodded. "Stay away from the blue wires that run through the cieling. I rigged it to the solar panels on the roof." Raven said as Octavia climbed up the ladder. "That mean's their hot! You got that?" Raven called after her. "Yeah, got that." Octavia yelled. Raven turned to Clarke. "Tell me you can do this." Raven said. Clarke just stared. "Hey! Their back!" Fox yelled. Bellamy walked in as Octavia came down the ladder. "Bellamy!" Octavia called out. Behind him Miller and a blond guy, Drew came in dragging a grounder. They dropped him at our feet. "The hell are you doing?" Octavia cried out. "It's time for some answers." Bellamy said. This must be the grounder who took Octavia and stabbed Finn. "Oh you mean, revenge?" Octavia asked. "I mean intel." Bellamy responded coldly. "Get him upstairs." He told Miller and Drew. They pushed past and struggled. Clarke turned to Bellamy.  "Bellamy, she right." She said. "Clarke, okay we're ready.Can you hear me?" Abby asked over the radio. Bellamy looked up, shocked. "Look, this is not who me are." Clarke continued. "Clarke?" Abby asked. Bellamy looked to Clarke. "It is now." He said and went up the ladder. This wasn't right. Clarke looked at me and nodded. I grabbed some supplies and followed him up to check for injuries and get food to the guys like Clarke wanted. Miller met me at the ladder. "You shouldn't be here." He said as the Drew and Bellamy chained the grounder up. "Fine. Here." I said handing him supplies, I wasn't going to sit there and watch them hurt this guy, even if he was a grounder. Octavia was waiting at the bottom of the ladder. I went back down the ladder to Clarke and the others. "The blade is at a sharp upward angle. Between his sixth and seventh ribs." Clarke yelled to the radio. "Okay how deep?" Abby asked. Clarke leaned down to look closer. "I can't tell." Clarke responded. "That's alright. Just don't remove the knife yet." Abby said after a minute. Raven was pacing next to Finn. "Here, sterilized your hands." Clarke said, handing her the canister. Raven grabbed it and took a drink then rinsed her hands. "Clarke, do you see any fluid?" Abby asked. Before Clarke could respond some started arguing behind me. "Damn it! Clear the room!" Clarke yelled to Raven. Raven ran over. "Everyone upstairs, now!" She yelled. I pushed a few who stood still. I moved to Finn and felt his forehead. It was warm. "Clarke?" I asked. She touched his forehead. "He feels a little warm." Clarke announced. Raven's head whipped around and she ran to Finn's side. I could hear yelling above us. Raven turned towards the ladder. "I got it." I told her, running to the ladder. Abby said something as I went up the ladder. Once on the 2nd level I closed the hatch door. People were arguing again. "Hey!" I yelled. They all stopped and looked at me. "What is wrong with you all? Finn is down there, dying and Clarke is trying her hardest to help him. And here are all of you trying to kill each other. All this yelling isn't helping anyone. So shut up, and sit down!" I said. Octavia stood smirking slightly in front of me. "You heard her, sit down!" Monroe said, stepping forward. She pushed down the people around her. I smirked as the started to quite down and sit. I made my way up to the 3rd level. I hit the hatch door. "Open up!" I yelled. Drew opened it. "Let her in."Bellamy said. I continued up, pushing Drew out of the way. "Anything new?" I asked. The drop ship shook. Wind could be heard from here, getting worse. This had to be like a hurricane or something. Then, the shaking got worse. I was knocked off my feet thrown back and against Miller. I watched as Drew and Bellamy fell too. Below me I heard screams. I felt Miller trying to pull me to my feet. "Y/N? Y/N?" Miller said. He held my face. "I'm fine." I mumbled, pushing him. My head ached. I think I hit my head again. Oh well. I got up most of the way and scrambled to the hatch door. I went down the ladder. "Clarke got the knife out!" Octavia yelled. I threw open the hatch and went down to Finn. Down here took some damage. Metal shrapnel pierced the wall. Finn was laying on the floor. Raven by him and Clarke by the door. "Finn!" I yelled, jumping down. He was awake. Drew came down after me. "What happened?" He asked. "Get over here and help me." I said, trying to lift Finn. Drew bent down and helped Raven up and then grabbed a hold of Finn. We placed him back on the table. Finn held on to his would but blood was pouring out. "Go back up with Drew." Clarke told me. I nodded and turned to follow him up the ladder. Clarke grabbed my arm. "Don't let them do anything stupid." She whispered. I nodded and followed Drew.
