Strangers

contents under pressure

there's a big storm. clarke is staring outside as people hold open the tent, i'm sitting by finn watching as people run in and out of the dropship. "this is raven reyes calling ark station. come in, ark station" raven says, she repeats it. and clarke walks up to her. "you sure you have the right frequency?" monroe asks, "yea i'm sure" she snaps. 

"raven. you can do this. ok?" clarke says, i look at finn. clarke walks over to him and checks his wound. "is he still bleeding" 

she looks at me. "just a bit" 

"coming ark station, the 100 are alive. can anyone hear me?"

"this is a restricted channel. who is this? please identify yourself" we hear over the radio. i look at them as clarke rushes over to her.

"this is raven reyes, i'm, from mecha station. i'm transmitting from the ground. the 100 are alive, please you need to get abby griffin. we need to talk to abby griffin now"

"hold on raven we're trying to boost your signal" we hear them say. i look at finn, "raven. are you there" we hear abby say. "mom? mom it's me" clarke says, "clarke"

"mom, i need your help. one of our people were stabbed by a grounder" she says, "clarke. this is the chancellor. are you saying there's surivors on the ground"

"yes. the earth is survivable" i stand up and walk over to the radio, "mom, he's dying. the knives still in his chest" she states. "clarke, is my son with you"

"i'm so sorry. wells is- wells is dead" 

"is kaleigh there?" i hear my father say. she looks at me, "i'm alive. but we don't have time for this, we need to save our friend" 

"i'm gonna talk you through it step by step" abby says, suddenly the dropship shakes and the radio starts cutting out. "what? raven what's wrong?"

"it's not the radio. it's the storm" 

"clarke, we need to hurry" octavia walks in with the cans. clarke smells it. "monty's moonshine?" she asks, "pretty sure no germ can survive it" she says. the dropship shakes. "the storms getting worse, monroe close the doors"

"we still have people out there" monroe states. "monty and jasper aren't back yet, niether is bellamy" i state. "it's all right they'll find somewhere to ride the storm out" clarke says she stands up, "one surture needle"

"i still need something to stich up the wound"

"there's some wire on the second level. i use it for the tents" octavia states. she starts walking towards the ladder, "stay away from the blue wire that runs through the ceiling. i rigged it to the solar cells in the roof, that means they're hot you got that?"

"yea i got that" 

"tell me you can do this" raven asks clarke. "hey they're back!" 

"bellamy!" i stand up and see bellamy, miller, and atlas all carrying a body.

"is that a grounder?" i hear someone say. they throw him on the ground and i step closer, "the hell are you doing?"

"it's time to get some answers"

"oh you mean revenge?" octavia says. "i mean intel" he states. "get him upstairs"

"bellamy she's right" clarke says. "clarke hunny, we're ready. can you hear me?" the radio says. "look, this is not who we are" 

"it is now" he says. 

...

"the blade is at an upright angle between the sixth and seventh ribs" clarke states. ravens pacing by me, as i sit by his body. "how deep is it?" abby asks. "i can't tell how deep it goes"
