All I wanted

Chapter 18

The next day we finally arrive at the camp and Doctor Abby comes straight up to us. "I know you. Factory Station." Mel nods. "Where are the others?" "There are no others." "We found her a day from here. No survivors. Lots of supplies." Abby nods slightly. "Get her to medical." She walks away with Monroe and Mel while I stop and am surprised by a hug.

Clarke? It takes me a moment to realise she's standing in front of me and I hug her back. "Now, there's something I thought I'd never see." I pull away from her and she hugs Octavia too. "How many are with you?" "None." My face darkens immediately. "Lillya?" "She helped me run away, but they took her away before we got outside. She told me to find myself." It feels like my heart is going to shatter into a thousand pieces.

"What? No. You can't just cut them loose." "Sweetheart we don't have the manpower to send two rescure missions and protect our camp." I sigh and start pacing around because I can't stand this conversation between Clarke and her mum. "Mum, they're in trouble. They're either gonna get killed or make things worse with the Grounders who we need to get our people out of Mount Weather." "I know you feel this is unfear but our priority has to be with Chancellor Kane if there is any hope of peace."

"If you wanted peace, you shouldn't have killed the only Grounders who was gonna help us." "Im sorry." "Mum, Lillya helped me escape, without her I wouldn't be here. And besides, how do you think Kane will react when he comes back and finds out you didn't help his daughter?" "The decision's been made." My eyes widen and I only now realise that Lillya is the daughter of Marcus Kane, the man who murdered my mother. But to be honest, I don't really care right now because I just want to get her out of there.

"You're sorry? Finn and Murphy are out there lokking for YOUR daughter with guns you gave us. And Lillya helped YOUR daughter to escape and now she's home, you're just going to abandon them?" I hate Abby Griffon so much at this moment. "If you can't spare the guards, we know the terrain. We have a map. We can go do it ourselves." "No, absolutely not."

"Mum." "I just got you back." I squeeze my eyes shut in anger and walk towards her. "And my girl is out there." She looks at me and says nothing as someone comes running in. "Abby! sorry, we need you in medical." "You better go." "Byrne. No one leave this camp." "Yes, ma'am."

After she leaves, Clarke turns and looks at me. "We're gonna need guns."

Raven places the bag filled with weapons on the table. "Scored you a couple of extra clips." Clarke comes up to us hiding next to the fence. "Hey. My mum's in surgery and the team going after Kane just left. We should too." "Did you find Octavia?" "No. I found you." I turn round and see my sister walking towards us with her sword on her back. "I'm not letting you leave here without me. Finn and Murphy are headed for Lincoln's village. I've been there. Have you? Has she?" "You done?"

I hand her a rucksack. "What's this?" "Your pack. Lead the way." She grins at me and I put the gun over my body. Octavia is about to climb through the fence when Raven stops her. "Whoa. Not so fast, Pacahontas." "I thought you said it was handled." Raven nods. "It is." She picks up the radio and talks to Rick, who switches off the power from the fence. We all walk between the wires. "Bellamy." I turn again and look at Raven. "Bring her back to me please."

After sleeping for a few hours, we set off as soon as it's light again. We walk for a while and just before the village we hear several shots. And more. And more. We run as fast as we can to the village and when we arrive we see Finn with a gun. Lots of dead people and Murphy standing next to him. He runs to Clarke who runs back. "I found you."
