The 100: Nothing But Time

chapter 19 More Trouble

Clarke POV

I rush to grab the radio as we hear Raven re-enter the room.

"Mom? It's me. Clarke."

"Clarke?! Oh thank God!"

"Mom. What's going on? Raven said you'd been attacked? What's happened?"

"Those lizard things attacked us! Jaha's dead! Today we thought they had gone but then a pterodactyl swooped down and grabbed Charlotte! A pterodactyl!!! Where the hell are we???"

"Mom?! Mom you have to calm down! Ok?"

I turn to Raven.
"Raven do you have a bead on their location?"

"Yeah they look like their on the other side of this mountain ridge. Maybe, two days from here. Assuming we don't get eaten first." She muttered.

"Mom, you guys need to hold tight, were gonna come get you."

"Clarke you can't! It's too dangerous!"

"We have help. Just sit tight and get dad. Raven's gonna tell him how to alter some weapons to kill those reapers."

"Raven " I turn to her. "You're up."

Bellamy had been strangely silent through this whole exchange as I glance at him, his expression is grim.

"Well princess, if we're gonna use this alliance of yours, now is the time."

I nod, "We'd better get to it then." I respond as we walk out of the dropship to look for Octavia.

"Are we going to leave Wells in charge? Who are we going to take with us?" Bellamy asked. "We need to think about this before we go in guns blazing."

I hate it when he's right.

"Just say it." I sigh as we continue to walk towards the woods.l

"We may not be able to save everyone princess." Bellamy says gruffly.

"You think I don't know that? Does that mean we don't even try?" My voice shakes as I think of my parents.

"No! No I would never say that!" He pauses. "I just think we need to tell them to start heading in our direction once they have their weapons ready and we can meet them halfway."

"But maybe we should go to them. We don't even know if they can travel..."

"They're going to have to be ready unless you think it's worth it for us to move all of our people there? I think we,are better prepared here. We can also move camp into the caves, near the water source, now that we know how to defend against the reapers."

"But..."

"Princess, you know I'm right "

I feel my resolve cracking and I smile. "Let's just say I'm afraid you may be right." He smiles at that. "Maybe we should put it up to a vote?"

"Fine. We can take a vote even though you already know I'm right." He smirks at me.

I stop walking and turn to face him and our eyes lock. I find myself unable to look away from his warm brown eyes as he takes a step closer.

He grabs my arms as I place my hands on his chest, which are solid muscle, I note to myself.

He pulls me closer, "Clarke" he says gruffly as our lips follow the magnetic pull towards each other and...

"Clarke? Clarke can we talk?" Wells voice calling, causes us both to spring away from each other just before he comes into view.

My eyes speak an apology to Bellamy who winks at me.

Wells looks back and forth between the both of us. "I'm sorry. I thought maybe we could talk?"

I wince when I remember his dad was killed.

I have to tell him.

Bellamy must realize this at the same time. "Do you need me to stay?" He asks softly.

I shake my head before he even finishes speaking. Wells is one of my oldest friends. He deserves to hear the truth from me.

Bellamy nods in understanding and turns to give us some privacy as he makes his way back to camp.

Wells turns back to me. "I'm sorry to interrupt but I thought we could talk ." He begins apologetically.

"I need to tell you something..."

"You can tell me anything, you know that." He replies, stepping closer.

"It's about your dad."

"My dad?" He asks, stopping.

"We made contact with the ARK again."

"That's good right?" He asks hopefully.

"Wells please! I need to get this out! Ok?"

He presses his lips together in silence.

"We made contact with the ARK and they've been attacked." I begin slowly.

"By who? Are they ok? We have to help them!" He grabs my arm. "Clarke?"

"Wells, I'm so sorry. You're dad's been, he's been killed. By the Reapers."

He just stares at me in silence as he turns and runs back to the ship leaving me alone in the forest with tears streaming down my cheeks.

Bellamy POV

Raven and I are talking strategy with Finn, Miller, and Murphy when Wells storms in shouting.

"We have to get to the ARK now!"

Everyone stops to look at him.
"We know! We're just planning how to do this." Miller answers him.

"We don't have time to wait! We have to go now!" Wells continues his rant.

"Sounds like mini Jaha needs to calm down." Murphy snipes at him.

"Enough!" I push between them suddenly realizing, "Where's Clarke?"

Wells drops his eyes to the floor in shame.
" I left her in the woods."

"Alone?! Knowing what's out there?" I yell at him while I turn and run back out to find Clarke.

Clarke POV

I took a few minutes to get myself together before heading back to camp.

That was probably a mistake.

While I'm walking I hear a rustling noise and against my better judgement I go to investigate. As I push my way through the the thick underbrush I come across a huge insect with a lot of legs eating an animal!

Ewwww! An insect large enough to eat an animal!

Before I can turn and run it raises it's head to look at me.

This time I do turn and run, screaming the entire way not bothering to look and see if it's following me!
