Who We Are

Chapter 31

Hakeldama

Vivian woke up to someone shaking her.

"Ugh." Vivian groaned as the person helped her up.

"What happened to you?" Vivian looked over to see Miller next to her.

Vivian thought about it for a second, and then it all came back to her.

"Bellamy. We were talking about the Grounders, and the next thing I knew, everything went dark." She said as she rubbed her head.

"Yeah, about that. Him, Pike, and some others were arrested last night for trying to kill the Grounder that was sent to protect us." Miller explained, and Vivian just couldn't wrap her head around it.

"I'm so confused. Are the Grounders the bad or good guys?" She asked.

"Well, right now, they're the good guys, but if they kill that army out there. Then we will be at war and we won't win it." Vivian closed her eyes and let out a sigh, hearing him say that.

"Well, they're locked up so we don't have to worry about it." She replied but when she saw the look on his face she knew he wasn't telling her something. "What? What is it?" She asked.

"The elections today for the new Chancellor, and Pikes name is on the ballot." Vivian stood up and headed for the door. "Where are you going?" Miller asked.

"To go vote for Kane. I don't remember Pike, but something in me is telling me that if he wins, then it's not going to be good." She said and walked out with Miller right behind her.

The two went and voted for Kane with no hesitation.

"Vivian, there you are." Kane said, walking up to her, Vivian smiled a little.

"Hey, Kane." She said as she put her vote in the box and then turned around to look at him.

"I didn't know you were going to vote." Kane said, causing the girl to shrug.

"Yeah, well, I might not know any of you that well. But I do know that you're the best person to run this place." She patted his shoulder and walked away.

They all waited as the votes were counted, and when they got the results, Pike won. She could see the defeated look on both Abby and Kanes' faces. After they got the results, Vivian went back to her room.

Vivian was sitting down rubbing her head, trying to get read of the headache that she had.

"Did everyone else eat?"

"I'm not worried about everyone else. I know you haven't eaten, so here."

"Not his type, come on Viv, you're a catch."

"I'm a catch, huh? Yeah, but not for Nate."

Vivian squeezed her eyes shut as she remembered two different things at once, making her head pound. It felt like someone had just banged her head against the wall a couple of times.

When Bellamy walked in, he saw Vivian sitting on the bed holding her head as her face was scrunched up in pain.

"Viv, whoa hey are you okay?" He hurried over to her. Vivian just held her hand out, signaling him to stop.

"Don't come near me." She growled, not forgetting how he sedated her.

"Viv, please, you're hurting." Bellamy begged, wanting to comfort her.

Vivian looked up to say something to him, but her eyes widened, seeing him covered in blood.

"What the hell happened to you?" She asked, worried that he might have gotten hurt.
