Torn

A Sacrifice

Bellamy

"Fight for what you believe in Clarke," Bellamy turned what he said to her in his mind.

What did she believe in? Is she still in love with Finn? Does she know what she's doing? 

Bellamy walked over to the gate and realized something was wrong; the watchers on the wall were agitated. Some were talking to each other and looking through their binoculars. Grounders. 

Bellamy ran to where Miller stood, "Grounders? Are we under attack?"

Miller nodded, terrified, Bellamy turned and yelled, "Grounders! Grab your guns and surround the wall! Stay in camp, conserve your ammo!" 

Bellamy ran into the dropship, "Monty, we're under attack. Clarke, where's Clarke?"

Clarke ran to him amongst the campers pouring in, Bellamy grabbed her shoulders, "Stay inside the dropship and shut the door, only open it if you hear two long knocks and one short one.", Clarke widened her eyes, "Ground-" Bellamy cut her off, "Grounders, yes. Did you understand what I said?"

Clarke nodded, "Yea, where's Octavia?"

Bellamy let go of her, "I thought she was with you."

"Damn it Bellamy, she's still outside," Clarke said running outside, she spotted Octavia handing guns to the campers

"I'll get her," Bellamy said

"No, go to the wall, I'll take her inside," Clarke called Octavia's name

"O, we've got to go inside you're-"

"I wanna help Cl-"

"No, you're not helping, you're too young and you're going to get hurt, let's go ."

"I'm not a child!" Octavia growled shrugging off Clarke's hand

"You're only fourteen, and you've already got kidnapped once, you're coming inside, no questions, c'mon." Clarke practically dragged Octavia inside. 

She surveyed who was in the dropship. Fox, where the hell was Fox?!

Clarke thought frantically about the shy and dangerously slim Waldentine girl who mooned over becoming a doctor. Clarke couldn't find her in the dropship, she ran outside and called her name. No reply, instead a low mourning horn blew the birds off the trees. Clarke ducked in fright. 

They crossed the river. 

"Bellamy!" she called, "Where's Fox?"

Bellamy turned his head to the side, "In the dropship with Jasper" 

"She isn't"

Miller replied, "She's at the river..."

"What?!" Clarke said frustrated, "Why the hell is she at the river?"

"She, um, kinda went with someone." Miller called shouldering his gun

"Who," Clarke demanded

"Asher."

Clarke groaned and looked at Bellamy, he knew what she was thinking and shook his head.

"They're on their own," he said simply

Miller almost choked but Clarke sighed and shook her head; she turned back to the dropship.
