Bexley paced around in front of Junos bed as her feet lightly patted against the metal of the ship's floor, it had been 5 days since the 'Flame' had been destroyed and 4 days since the two had arrived at Arkadia.

She had talked with Lexa about everything and was still concerned over the rumours of the Flame's destruction spreading, that was the main reason the two had left for Arkadia.

"Hey why don't you take a break from that" Juno said with a small laugh before picking her up as she let out a small squeal as he carried her outside to see Jaha is lying on a raft.

Bexley looks confusedly as Jasper laughed, "Ha! He's awake! Hey, Jaha, it looks like you got floated"

Everyone started hooting and applauding Jasper as Quinn and Malachi came out next to Bexley and Juno who stood laughing, "Heh. Keeping yourself busy, Mr. Jordan" Jaha called up to them as Jasper gave a small bow.

"Oh, I'm living it up, every last day" Jasper declared with a smile.

Jaha nodded with a laugh, "Do I want to know how you managed to do this without waking me up?" He asked with a soft chuckle as everyone continued laughing.

Jasper shook his head as he crouched down, "Oh, probably not, but the effects are harmless, I promise, kind of" Jasper said making a face as he turned away from the ex- Chancellor.

"All right. We've had our fun. Let's get back to work" clarke said as she walked up to everyone, everyone either grumbled something about her being a bitch of continued to laugh.

Monty approached Clarke with a frown on his face, "What's with the "we're all gonna die" face? I mean-"

Clarke shook her head, "I know what you mean. Bellamy should be back by now" she said after she cut him off.

Bexley and Juno turned towards Quinn who held onto Malachi, Bexley felt her eyes widen as she looked at the baby.

Quinn noticed the expression on the girls face, "you wanna hold him?" Quinn asked softly, Bexley looked back at the girl hesitantly and shot Juno the same look only for him to nod his head reassuring her.

"Uh yeah sure" the girl said softly, Quinn slowly passed her the baby making sure Bex was ok with holding him before she pulled away and let her cradle the baby.

Bexley held onto the baby with her arms stiff arms like she'd brake the baby if she made the slightest of movements, Quinn couldn't help the chuckle that passed her lips.

"She looks like she's afraid of hurting Malachi" Quinn said softly making Juno laugh as Bexley shifted the boy around so he was sat on her hip.

"Yeah soon enough she'll get use to it" Juno laughed but froze after a moment as he realized what he had said.

"Wait she's pregnant?!" Quinn asked with wide eyes as Juno gave a small nod, Quinn threw her arms around the boy as she squealed out of excitement.

Bexley watched the two with a small smile as the brown haired boy on her hip coo'ed and played with a strand of loose hair, before Bexley could think thunder was heard overhead as rain begins falling, "Black rain" Harper said aloud.

"All right. Everyone inside, just like we practiced. Go" Bexley looked towards Juno and Quinn as she pulled her jacket to cover the baby.

"Black rain! Sound the alarm! This is not a drill!"
The alarm is sounded as the man continued to yell, "Move, move, move!" The Arkadians run into the ship with Juno pulling Quinn and Bexley with him.

Monty looked back to Jasper, "Jasper! Come on!" The boy called as Jasper turned to walk out of the ship.

"Jasper, what are you doing?" Clarke called after the boy.

Jasper turned to face everyone, "Can't live your life in fear" was all he said as Jasper walks out into the storm.

"Run!" Clarke yelled after him as the rain begins falling and Jasper sticks out his tongue to catch it.

Monty moved to run out after his best friend only for Harper to stop him, "Monty, you can't. You can't" Harper repeated as they waged Jasper out in the rain, "Jasper! Let me go. No!" Monty demanded as he fought against Harpers hold on him as he watched Jasper fake gags.

"Clarke, what do we do?" Harper asked desperately as they watched the boy.

"The sky is... falling. The sky is falling. Whoo!" Jasper played with a smile as he revealed he was ok.

"What is wrong with you?" Clarke asked in discussed while Monty let's put a sigh of relief.

Jasper laughed, "It's just rain, not radioactive ash" the boy stated as he danced around in the rain.

"Dude, not cool" monty stated as the just watched Jasper out in the rain.

Jasper watched everyone walked into the ship, "Come on. It's a joke. Don't be like that, guys. Guys! When did everyone around here lose their sense of humor?" He laughed as everyone rolled their eyes as they started to work on the ship.

Juno stood at the gate later on in the day as two people road up on horse back, they were both male riders.

"Hey Bec! Come here" he yelled as the two riders stopped outside the gate, the gate opened as it looked like a small army started to form behind the two.

"Shad? What's going on?" Bexley asked as she stoped by Juno's side, a group of about 100 people stoped outside of Arkadia but before Shad could answer her Monty and Clarke started to practically yell at each other.

"I know you think people will freak out, but if you just tell everyone the truth, maybe they'll surprise you" Monty stated loudly.

Clarke followed after the boy as he walked away from the blond, "Monty, it's too risky" she said softly trying to convince the boy not to do what he was about to do.

"Jasper was right. You're not God" Monty picks up the intercom in the rover, "I have an announcement to make. Clarke Griffin has been lying to you" he said over the mic.

Clarke breathed heavily, "No" she breathed out with a hurt look.

Monty looked over everyone, "Arkadia will only save 100 people. Who thinks they made the list? "Abby Griffin, Eric Jackson..." "he said as some of the Arkadian's started to mumble inaudible things.

"Thelonious Jaha, Raven Reyes, Octavia Blake..."
Monty said as he continued to read the names, "Jim Bruder, Heather David...Grazia Watson, Danny Vertue, Sarah Soderquist, Susan Crawford, Shelley Skerritt..." he said making everyone out right angry when they didn't hear their names.

Juno pulled on Bexley's hand as he pulled her away and back towards the small army, "what has happened? Why is everyone here?" She asked softly as she looked around at her people.

"The king declared Trikru and Skaikru the enemy and Azgada attacked our people last night- we're all that remains of Podakru" Bexley placed a hand over her mouth and stomach as she fell to her knees as silent tears fell down her cheeks.

Podakru was gone and little did she know so was her brother.
