The 100 VI Wars Peak

Chapter 2 Clarke

A click was heard, and the door slowly drifted open, a sickening creak was heard also as the movement narrowed its end. Osiris motioned for Clarke to enter the room, and she did. Her eyes straight, her head high. She was not wearing the barely clinging nightgown from earlier, which seemed extremely comfortable, she wore a husky rift of apparel which fitted her nicely. Once she was fully in the room, the door behind her shut, a loud latching noise came, as the doors latch met its strike plate, closing nicely. Clarke just stood there, her eyes locked on the man in front of her. A former companion, until he floated her father. Chancellor Jaha. He wasn't frowning, nor smiling, his lips met in the middle of the two. He had a dark bluish shirt on, which was filthy, drenched in loam and tinder's of ash. He had a few scars set across his face, especially his right temples, which were dappled in sprinkles of blood. A fine trim of hair lined up around his chin, and stretched under his nose and back around, a beard. Clarke couldn't believe how differently someone looked with a beard, the Ark prohibited anyone from having one due to certain laws, only a few had them, and those were the ones that dwell on certain stations which allowed it. Clarke extended her right arm out, her palms loosening, as she was expecting a handshake. His arm stuck out as well, slowly grasping and slowly shaking. Silence swept among the two before Clarke spoke up, her voice cracking at the start of her sentence, but slowly soothing towards the end. 

"So, The commander tells me people East saw something big fall from the sky yesterday, something large. The way they described it, it is to big to be a Dropship, So what was it?" 

"The Ark. There simply weren't enough Dropships to bring all three thousand and sixty seven of us down. The number of people who survived, who knows? On the way down, it split into its original stations, and separated across the lands. The station I was on, was Oragami station, which landed a few Miles south. I was on an expedition to find the hundred along with others until these people started attacking from the trees. We were unarmed, so we just ran..Schultz, a partner of mine, got his head chopped off. All fourteen people got massacred, I was the only one, so they knocked me unconscious and brought me here." He explained his grueling story, as Clarke's stomach churned. She felt guilty, and a pint of greed strike her. She didn't think the Grounders would attack the sky people, although the Grounders probably weren't aware the group was from space, they misinterpreted the group. 

"I'm sorry for your loss, But Chancellor Jaha, you need to get back to the wreckage. where the injured are, I know there is a lot. You need to tell them others are on this planet, and their not a threat..please." Clarke's tone knocked down to a serious subtle lowered utter. Jaha eyed her oddly, as he swiveled his hands around his waistline, placing each hand on his side. 

"Chancellor? I am not the Chancellor anymore. I got shot, exactly before your dropship set off for Earth. During surgery, One of the members of the council stepped up to the chair. After surgery, I allowed the man to continue his job in being chancellor, due to his succession with the occupation. I am now merely just a member of the council.." His voice was flat, as droplets of sweat clung from his two black brows. Clarke was astonished that he stepped down from being Chancellor, this new chancellor must be remarkable then. "The wreckage isn't far. About a few Kilometers North." 

"Alright, You'll leave immediately." Clarke gave a nod before turning right around, soon feeling Jaha's hand rest on her shoulder. 

"Clarke, wait." She revolved right around to meet his gaze. He licked his lips before speaking up. "My son, Wells. May I see him? I only got three minutes to see his face before I was yanked back out of the cell..Can he come with me?" 

"I'll have to ask The Commander, but I'm pretty sure she'll allow it. Lexa is good like that." Clarke gave half of a smile, before opening the door for Jaha, allowing for him to step out first before she followed behind. Once Osiris eyed Jaha, he immediately drew a sword to Jahas throat. Clarke cut in, blocking the two from one another. "Osiris Stan Daun!" Clarke spoke in Grounder language, as she suddenly received the realization that she knew the words for "Stop." 

"I am sorry, Clarke Kom Skaikru. I thought he was going to escape." Osiris spoke as he kept shooting Jaha dirty glances. Jaha gave a confused one, before Clarke grasped his arm, beginning to lead him down the hallway, to Wells cell. She figured the two can take a time to really connect before they head off back to the Ark wreckage.
