Skye & Earth ||| Bellamy Blake

40 ~ Reaper

___

Feeling my way through the darkness

Guided by a beating heart

I can't tell where the journey will end

But I know where to start

___

Bellamy holds up the gun that one of the guards gave him.

Octavia has her sword. Skye just has a knife.

They walk through the dark parking garage quietly. They try searching through cars for anything useful. They also are looking for an entrance into the mountain.

It's getting close to the fifteen-minute mark when suddenly shouts echo throughout the structure.

Bellamy's head snaps up.

"What the hell was that?" Skye whispers to the Blake siblings.

The three inch closer toward the origin and gasp at the scene. Someone is hunched over the body of one of the guards, eating him.

Bellamy doesn't hesitate to shoot the man. It's a Reaper. Skye and Octavia glance around and spot another Reaper hunched over a deceased Sergeant Scott.

Octavia's mouth drops open. Bellamy aims his gun at the Reaper, but Skye's eyes widen, and she touches his arm. "Don't. It's Lincoln." She whispers.

A tear slides down Octavia's face. Lincoln, now wearing animal coats, face paint, and blood, stands. He notices the trio and starts walking toward them.

The look on his face isn't love. It isn't happiness to see Octavia. It's pure anger and hunger.

Octavia screams. "Lincoln, it's me! It's me, Octavia."

Even at the sound of her voice, he doesn't falter. He gets closer. Suddenly a gunshot rings out. Lincoln falls to the concrete clutching his leg.

Bellamy quickly knocks the man out. Skye looks behind her to see Octavia holding the gun. She rests her hand on the shaking girl's shoulder.

Bellamy sighs. "We need to find somewhere safe."

___

The fog is still outside. They can't leave.

Now, the three are huddled in the trunk of an SUV. The windows are tinted and dirty.

Octavia still has tears in her eyes. "He's a Reaper. How is it even possible, he just looked right through me?"

Bellamy rubs her back. "I don't know. Listen to me, we'll get him back."

Skye glances out the dirty glass. "We can't just leave him here."

Bellamy nods. "We could somehow get him back to the drop ship. It's isolated."

Octavia wipes away her tears. "What would we even do?"

They both look to Skye. She pauses as she thinks. "Okay... It's probably some type of drug. Something to make them be controllable. Like with the sound frequency devices. If he goes a while without having the drug, he'll likely go through withdrawal. It'll be hard but... I think we can get him back."

They nod as she speaks. The three come up with a plan. Octavia will lead Lincoln into the open part of the garage. Then, Bellamy will knock him out and tie him up using the supplies from the dead guards.

Slowly, the three get out of the car. Octavia runs to the center of the parking garage and yells for Lincoln. He appears from behind a car. He walks toward her.

Bellamy uses the shock lash tool on Lincoln, and he collapses to the floor. He knocks him out again. Skye grabs the rope from Scott's bag.

Her and Bellamy quickly tie his arms and legs up. Octavia walks to the door of the garage and cracks it open the tiniest bit. "The fog is clear."

With that, Skye, Bellamy, and Octavia drag Lincoln's unconscious body through the woods.

___

The walk is excruciating. Their legs hurt. Their arms hurt. Lincoln is still passed out.

Skye wanted to inform her sister and mother about where they were going but there was no time.

They make it all the way back to the drop ship. They go inside and take a brief break. Then comes the hard part. They have to somehow get him all the way up to the third floor, where they held him the first time.

Octavia and Bellamy stand on the first floor. Skye is on the ladder. The two Blake's push him up with all their strength. Skye grabs him by the torso and hoists him up to the second floor.

They're all out of breath. They have to keep going though. They repeat the process until finally they manage to get Lincoln up to the right floor.

With no time to spare, the three tie Lincoln back up to his original restraints from back when the hurricane was happening and Finn was stabbed.

After he's successfully tied up, the three lean against the cool metal of the third floor. After some time, Skye stands. "We're gonna need a med kit."

Bellamy nods. "We have to let the others know."

She grabs her bag. "I'm going back to camp. I'll get Clarke and supplies."

Bellamy stands too. "I'll go with you."

"No. Stay with Octavia. I'll be back soon, I promise." He walks up to her and she hugs him. When they pull apart, he kisses her gently.

She smiles at him.

"Be safe." He says.

___

Skye makes it back to Camp Jaha in record time.

She walks through the gates and sees her mother in the distance talking to a large group of people. She gasps when she sees Jaha standing near her.

She thought he was dead. He stayed up on the ring to manually send down the stations of the Ark. He sacrificed himself to save his people.

Somehow, someway, he's alive and made it down to Earth.

Skye scans the crowd and spots Clarke. She rushes up to her and pulls her by the arm away from the group.

When Clarke realizes who it is, her eyes widen, and she hugs her. "Where have you been?"

Skye takes a deep breath. "In the drop ship. Listen, you need to come with me right now."

"Why? What happened?"

"I'll explain on the way. Grab our med kits and meet me at Ravens gate."

Clarke nods and Skye heads off, back to the gate.

A few minutes later, Clarke arrives, and they exit camp. On the walk back to the drop ship, Skye tells her everything that has happened since the fog.

Clarke informs her that Raven did not blow the tower at the mountain because now they are able to listen in to Mount Weather.

The acid fog is actually a weapon.

Clarke also tells her that Jaha came back with a message: "Leave or die." The Grounder army is attacking soon.

Finally, they are back at the ship. They climb the ladder. Clarkes face drops the moment she sees Lincoln, who is now awake, fighting his restraints.

Clarke shakes her head. "I can't believe we're back here."

Octavia stands, glancing at the two sisters. "Can you help him?"

Clarke sighs. "I don't know."

"We will do everything we can, Octavia." Skye says reassuringly.

Lincoln practically growls as he yanks on the chains around his arms.

Bellamy looks at them. "If the mountain can do that to Lincoln, what the hell are they doing to our friends?"
