The Ruling - Bellamy Blake

23. Lincoln

Clarke drew us a map and explained how she got out and the way to get in.

"I swear to god, if your mom doesn't sanction a mission soon I'm going by myself." Bellamy says.
"You won't be by yourself." I say already having thought of leaving myself.

I see Finn start walking back.
"Let's go get drinks." I say to Bellamy trying to let him and Clarke talk, and also because I really don't want to be around him right now. What he did ruined how I felt about him. I used to think he was just a dumb boy who couldn't choose a girl but now he's something else.

Clarke convinced her mom to let us back to Mount Weather, but Abby brought guards with her.

Clarke starts leading the way.
"I can't believe they let Finn come." Octavia says to me. I nod genuinely agreeing. He's not himself.
"He's the best tracker we got." Bellamy responds to us. "Don't forget to look up. The grounders use the trees. That's how we lost John Mbege."

"He might be the best tracker but also a child slaughterer." I say to Octavia.
"I knew the boy he killed. He was a strong kid." She says softly. I give her a sad smile.

We continue walking until we start to get close enough to see the mountain.

"We need to find a way in." Bellamy says to me as we step away from Abby and the guards. I nod.
"Get Octavia. I'm telling Clarke." I say back. He nods.

I walk up to Clarke while she's away from her mom.
"Bellamy, Octavia, and I are going to look on our own once we stop. We're going to find a way in." I whisper. She nods.
"We should stop up here and see!" She yells to her mom, giving us a way to escape the guards. I nod to her slightly.

We all turn to see. I step away and get to the Blake's. The guards walk to the end of the cliff to look and I nod to Bellamy and start walking away.

We get pretty far quickly.
"According to Clarke, before the bombs, there were buildings everywhere." I tell them. "I'm guessing some of them had access to the bunker. So we're looking for ruins. Anything that's man-made."
"Got it." Bellamy says.

"Blake! Gales!" The guards start yelling behind us. We stop. "Let's go, right now."
"Incase you've forgotten, we're not under your command." Bellamy says.
"Don't make us do this the hard way." He says to us. I smirk slightly.
"What's that? You gonna shoot us?" I ask. Shooting us would mean shooting the only people that can survive out here.

"Come on, Scott. 47 of our people are prisoners in this mountain." Bellamy says.
"That's why we're out here."
"No. You're here to find other stations of the Ark." I say.
"We're out here to find our friends." Bellamy says backing me up.

"Guys." Octavia says looking down. I do too and see thousands of bugs running.
"What are they doing?" Scott asks.
"Running from something." I mutter.
"Acid fog. We need cover, now!" Bellamy yells as I look up to see the familiar yellow fog coming in our direction. "Deploy your tents. Let's go!"

"We don't have time." I mutter looking around.
"Nova, look. They're all going there." Octavia says pointing before running. I glance back at the guards struggling to get the tents out and follow her.

"Nov! O!" Bellamy starts yelling. We start ripping the moss off and see a wall.
"Bell! There's something here!" I yell.
"Hey! Over here!" Bellamy yells to the guards.

Scott runs over and helps him trying to open it.
"Hurry up!" I yell to the other two guards. They get the doors open and Octavia and Scott run in. "Leave the bags!" I yell to them before Bellamy pushes me inside.

"Let's go!" Bellamy yells. One of the two runs in while the other gets caught in the fog. Scott tries to run out but Bellamy pulls him back inside closing the door. "It's too late!"

"Where the hell are we?" I mutter to myself turning my flashlight on and looking around.
"Let's go." Bellamy says grabbing my arm gently.

We start walking around and I see cars.
"Looks like a garage." Bellamy says. Octavia and I both draw our swords.
"More like a tomb." She says.

"Have your weapons out. There could be someone down here." I say in a low voice.
"I'm sorry about your man, but we need to find an access door to Mount Weather." Bellamy says before trying to walk.
"Not so fast." Scott says.
"Sir, that fog will keep us-." I try to say before he hands Bellamy a gun.
"We'll split up. Meet back here in 15." Scott says.

Bellamy nods and we start walking.

We see a door. Bellamy's about to try to open it when we hear the guards yelling.
"Shit." I mutter before starting to go after it.

I hear music playing as we get down there. We crouch down by a car using our flashlights trying to see anything.
"Scott?" Bellamy asks. "Are you there?"

We continue walking and I see a rifle on the ground. Bellamy picks it up. I hear something rustling.
"What was that?" I ask turning my flashlight towards it.

There are two reapers eating the guard. They get up and start running towards us. Bellamy shoots them both.
"Take this." Bellamy says handing me the gun. I hand it to Octavia wanting her to be more protected. I can fight well enough with my sword.

We start walking looking for Scott.

I turn flashing my light down a list of cars and see Scott being eaten by another reaper causing me to let out a small gasp. Bellamy gets ready to shoot.
"Don't." Octavia says stopping him. "It's Lincoln."

I look at the reaper infront of us, that is in fact Lincoln. Well in reaper form.
"Lincoln it's me. It's Octavia." She says to him. He gets up and starts running towards us.

"Don't kill him!" She says to us. He runs to her and grabs her.
"Let go of her!" I yell. He throws her and starts walking towards Bellamy and I.

I lift my sword up getting ready to block him when I hear a gun shot. It was Octavia. Lincoln turns to face her and I hit him with the blunt end of the sword.

"We need to run." I say knowing he won't be out for long. Bellamy grabs Octavia as we run.

"The car. Go." I say pointing at a car. I run to the door and try to open it. It's rusted shut. I hit the handle with my sword before pulling it causing it to open.

We all get inside while Octavia is freaking out.
"He's a reaper." She mutters.

I hear a noise from outside and look up to see Lincoln walking.
"Shh." Bellamy says to Octavia. I watch as he looks at our car.
"Can he see us?" She asks.
"I don't know." I whisper back, hoping the answer is no.

He stares for a few more seconds before walking off.

"Just listen to me. I'll get him back, I promise."

After a few minutes we get out.
"Are you sure you're ready for this?" I ask Octavia. She nods.
"Okay. Draw him in. We'll do the rest." Bellamy says.

Octavia walks out.
"Lincoln?" She calls out. I hear him start walking closer. I clench my sword tighter.

He gets infront of Octavia and Bellamy hits him with the shock baton.
"Now what?" She asks.
"We take him home." I say.
