Secrets on the Ground

What is Death?

A/N: Sorry for not updating in while! I won't make up excuses, but I'll try to be better! I just realized that I have been spelling Ark wrong this whole time! Do not fear! I have gone back and changed it. This chapter is going to correspond to Episode 4- Murphy's Law. I've decided to tell you all which episode each chapter matches up with.

I hope you all don't mind that Kay isn't with all of the characters when certain events happen. I figure that most of you have already seen The 100 and don't want a play by play of what happens.

Also! Bellamy and Kay's relationship is slow burning. I'll throw you all a few bones though by putting in flashbacks of their spicy relationship! Not sure if this chapter will have any yet. I guess you'll just have to wait and see! ENJOY!

"Kay. Kay! Wake up!" I hear someone barge into my tent. I open my eyes only to be met with a teary eyed Clarke.

"Clarke? What's wrong? Have you been crying?" I ask. I push aside the argument we had earlier. I'm not letting my friend cry alone. I grab her into my arms.

"It's Wells." She nuzzles her head into my shoulder. I pet her hair, trying to calm her down.

"What happened with Wells? Did he say something to make you upset?" I ask.

"He is dead. He was laying on the ground in a pool of his blood." She sobs. My eyes start to water.

'Wells is gone? Dead? My best friend is gone. No. No crying. I need to stay strong for Clarke though. I can't shed any tears right now.' I think to myself.

"Shhh." I coo. "Wells wouldn't want this for you." I say the most basic thing. For some reason I can't come up with something more comforting.

"I was so mad at him. I've been angry with him for turning in my dad, but it wasn't him! It was my mom! He let me hate him. I've been an awful friend. Now he is dead, and I didn't have time to apologize to him." She says to me. I sit her down and lay her head in my lap. I rub her back and pet her hair.

"Clarke. He chose to act the way he did, he understood the repercussions of his decision. He valued your relationship with your mom more than his relationship with you. All he has ever wanted was for you to be happy. Please Clarke, don't let his decision be in vain. Continue to be happy for Wells, for yourself." I say to her.

She sniffles and pulls her head away. "Thank you for comforting me Kay." She states and then walks off. I stay in my tent taking in the news I just heard. Tears start flowing down my face. I cry and cry coming to the realization that I will never be able to see his smile or hear his laugh. I never even got the chance to tell him that I was pregnant. I feel so alone down here. 

After making sure it wasn't noticeable that I had been crying, I pick myself up and head out of my tent. The bright sunlight temporarily blinds me as I walk outside. I see everyone in camp gathering sticks, logs, vines, and so on. I see a boy start to fall down, so I rush to help him.

"This section should be finished by tomorrow. Hey! You think the Grounders are just gonna sit around, and wait for us to finish the wall? Maybe we should let the little girl do the lifting for you, huh?" Murphy barked at the young boy.

"I just need some water, okay? Then I'll be fine." The boy pleaded.

"Murphy! He is working too hard, he needs some rest. Stop making the poor boy feel bad." I snap. I then turn to the boy. "What is your name?" I ask with a smile on my face. 

"Conner." He breathes heavily.

"Don't listen to him, okay? Here, put those down and come with me." I take the debris from his arms. As we are about to get up, we are stopped by Murphy.
