The 100: Nothing But Time

Chapter 13 The Alliance

Clarke POV

After being attacked by the lizard creatures or Reapers, as Anya's people called them, we thought it best to meet in the morning to further solidify our truce before more came.

Apparently they like to eat humans.

As we walked back to the dropship I realized I was still in shock.

I mean, did that really just happen?

Bellamy had not been exaggerating when telling us about those lizard things! Yuk!!!

I found myself shivering involuntarily.

"Are you allright Princess?" Bellamy's deep voice startled me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah, just thinking" I try to brush off his concern.

"About?"

I glance at him ruefully, "Somehow this mission is not turning out as expected"

"Yeah, I know what you mean."

"We need to warn the ARK about the reapers."

"Only if we can get in contact with them again, Raven has been trying for days. For now we may be on our own princess." His deep voice only reinforced the truth of his words.

My sigh ends up being louder than I thought as Bellamy grabs my arm pulling me to a stop as the others keep walking.

"Hey. We'll figure this out. Ok? Don't worry so much." He looked down at me with concern filled brown eyes.

"Bell, sometimes you don't worry enough! These kids are relying on us! What if were making a mistake in trusting them?!" Even as the words leave my mouth I can feel my breath get out of control as my chest tightens in panic.

I am startled from my rant as I feel myself enveloped in Bellamy's arms.
He is rubbing my back gently and I allow myself to relax, "Just breathe" he whispers gently in my hair.
It is a moment before I pull back.

He answers my raised eyebrow with a smirk. "Are you feeling better now?"

"You think a hug is going to fix everything? " I scoff.

"No, but you were in the middle of a panic attack and you needed to calm down." He says matter of factly, swinging his gun down from his shoulder. "Let's get back to camp and we can worry about everything else tomorrow. Ok?"

"Ok?" I follow quietly, then, "Bellamy? "

"Yeah?"

"Thank you."

"Anytime princes." He grins at me with those brown eyes, making my stomach clench. When I finally break from his gaze to glance around I realize we have arrived at the ship.

***the next morning***

Bellamy POV

I didn't get much sleep last night. I kept dreaming of a blond haired princess with big blue eyes. She made it damn near impossible for me to get any sleep!

I stalked upstairs to see if Raven has had any luck with the radio before our second meeting with the grounders only to find Clarke already there.

Both girls look guilty, as if they were caught by a parent doing something wrong.

"How's the radio coming?" I ask, ignoring their looks.

"Nothing yet, but I think we'll get it working today now that the suns out."Raven replies calmly.

"Good. It needs to be the priority today, since we'll be with the Grounders."

"On it." She replies.

As I head down to grab Breakfast before we leave Clarke falls into step with me.

"So you're coming with me to their village?" She asks, surprised.

I whirl on her in disbelief. "You think I'm going to let you go alone?!" I practically yell at her, causing her to step back as her blue eyes widen. (So distracting)

"I just though that... maybe one of us should stay here...?" she trails off softly biting her lip.

"No." I answer gruffly, "Someone has to have your back. Wells and Miller will be in charge. Finn and Monty will come with us. Hurry and grab your stuff were meeting Lincoln after breakfast." As I see her cheeks faintly flushed pink my breath hitches and I turn and rush out, I suddenly need some air.

Clarke POV

As I stand there, brow furrowed, watching Bellamy walk purposefully towards Wells, Finn comes up to me.
"I hear you need a guard for the trip today princess?"

"Don't call me that Finn." I reply, eyes still on Bellamy.

"Sorry" he smiles at me timidly. "We should get some breakfast before we have to leave"

I nod absently, knowing he's right. He falls into step with me and I groan inwardly. He's nice and all but, well he's too nice. Then there's Raven...

"Don't worry about today,Clarke. I've got your back. " no sooner do those words leave his mouth then Bellamy looks up and our gaze locks.

"I'd better see what Bellamy wants." I cut Finn off, I hear him mumbling under his breath but I find I don't really care all that much.
