Equilibrium- A Bellamy Blake x OC

Chapter 18

"Roll out. Stay ready!" I heard a soldier say. It was night, and Clarke had returned from making the bargain. Two trikru soliders sat on horses outside the wired fence, and the rest of camp was surrounded. Trikru warriors in the trees and grass, hiding from sight awaiting any wrong move to strike us.

"What did she say? Is there a chance for a truce?" Abby said to her daughter.

"Yes." Clarke said, we would've been filled with relief if it wasn't for the expression on her face.

"What's wrong?" Finn asked.

"They want you." She said to Finn, terror filled his eyes, "If we want a truce, we have to give them Finn." The crowd started murmuring, I looked to Raven. She was looking around and growing uncomfortable.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Raven said.

"That's their offer."

"That's not an offer." Raven responded, anger visible on her face.

"It's punishment for what happened at their village, 'blood for blood'." He recalled their sayings.

"That's insane." I heard Bellamy say.

"It's who they are." I said.

"What if we refuse." The chancellor had spoken up.

"They attack." Clarkes voice was morbid.

"I say we give him up!" Someone said from the crowd, some began cheering, and they approached Finn, "Get rid of him!" More cheering ensued.

"Easy people!" The lieutenant shouted, a few people stopped in their tracks, but not all.

They were incessant, "Give him to the grounders!" You could hear a chorus of people agreeing.

"Back off!" Raven said, standing off one of the guys that got too close to Finn. Raven was protective of Finn. Even if they weren't dating, the two of them had already sacrificed everything for one another.

"Hey, Raven." Clarke tried getting her attention, " Raven. Raven, listen to me." She finally looked at her when Clarke held her wrist, "Nothing is going to happen to him, I promise, OK?"  She comforted.

The more we looked away, the larger the chaos became, "I'm not dying for him. Spacewalker burned 3 months of oxygen from the Ark. We should've floated him a long time ago. Throw him out! " Someone said. Raven shoved him, and the gaurds held her back.

I cocked my gun and pointed it at him, "That's enough." I said, making them retreat. It allowed Finn to go inside with everyone else, I looked to the luitenant who just stood there watching the scene unfold. "You're the luitenant! Get them in order and do your job!" I said, annoyed, gesturing to the mass of people rioting against Finn.

I went into the Ark, I heard that Lincon was here and I wanted to see him. I went into a medical bay. I found Abby, "Do you know where Lincon is?" I asked her.

"I was just going to him now." She had a tray of supplies and took me into a room, Lincon looked like he had just woken up. His beard had grown long, blood staining his face.

"Lincon." I said, approaching him. I put my hand on the restraints about to take them off.

"No. Cassie." I stopped what I was doing, looking up at him in confusion, "I need to be restrained."

I furrowed my eyebrows, "Don't be ridiculous." I said, continuing what I was doing.

"Please." I looked into his pleading eyes and left him alone. "I stabbed you."

"It wasn't a stab, mors like a slice." That didn't seem to help the situation, "I lifted my shirt, "Look see, ots already getting better. It's right where you stabbed me last time." I laughed.
