Mother Earth // Bellamy Blake

Empty Bridge • 144

"I know none of you want to stay in here, but it'll work until I can build more outside," I told the group as we made our way down into the rotunda.

"We have a good amount of food and there's a lake close so we have enough water," Bellamy added on.

"Did you check the hydrofarm, is there anything left?" Jackson asked Bellamy and I.

"Just some seeds, but that whole level is dead," Bellamy answered.

"Blodreina isn't coming down?" Miller asked as we all got settled in the center of the arena.

"Avoiding her demons," Indra stated. "I don't blame her.

"What about power or hot water?" Raven directed her question to me.

"No," I told her with a shake of my head.

"That's it, I'm out of here. Where's the funky ball with the green light?" Murphy waved off the idea of staying.

"Bellamy searched the bunker for it, he couldn't find it anywhere," I revealed to the group.

"We already tried to look for it with the helmets, there's no stone here," Jordan spoke up.

"No. It has to be. That's how Cadogan got his people out," Gabriel objected.

"We lived here for six years. I think we would've seen it," Niylah pointed out.

"One way to find out," Raven said as she placed one of those obscure helmets on her head.

"Raven, Jordan just said they already tried that and found nothing," Bellamy stated, but Raven continued to look around. After a few seconds, Raven took the helmet back off.

"One hundred feet straight down," she proved us wrong. "They gave you trash helmets so you couldn't get out."

"Perfect, so we jump to Sanctum, have a hot shower and stock up on supplies," Murphy concluded.

"And bring my people home," Gabriel confirmed.

"Wait, we all just got here. We're safe now and together," Bellamy protested the idea.

I turned to look at him, "and keep Earth to ourselves? All those people in Sanctum, the prisoners and Wonkru belong here too, you know they do."

Bellamy's jaw clenched at my words, he didn't want to agree with me but internally he did. I understood what he was thinking, he thought we all could just live out the rest of our lives how we lived the past few days. Honestly I wished that too, but it would be greedy. Bellamy chose to nod to me in agreement.

"Raven, can I ?" Clarke stood from her seat next to Madi and reached out for the helmet.

"Yeah," Raven didn't hesitate to hand it over to her. I watched as Clarke stared at it for a moment and turned around slowly. Next thing she did was slam the helmet into the concrete wall of the rotunda.

"What the hell are you doing?" Murphy shouted as the helmet got smashed. Clarke tossed it to the ground when she was satisfied with it's level of destruction. "That was our only way out of here!"

Clarke turned to face us with a telling expression, "Earth is our home. Everyone who is from here is here. Everyone we care about... I will not lose anyone else. Let's choose a room."

Clarke stormed away, deeper into the bunker as we all kind of stood in silence for a moment. "There goes that plan," Bellamy mumbled as some more people began to clear out.

I walked over to the destroyed helmet on the ground and picked it up for safe keeping, maybe it could be fixed. Once I got a hold of it, I turned to look at Bellamy, "you should go talk to Octavia."
