Losing Your Memory

23. Riot

Clarke's POV:

The camp is now plunged into darkness and The 100 stand in outrage beside the Arkers who stand in a stunned silence.

I am stood before the Dropship like everyone else, staring at the closed door, two guards stand either side of me to stop me creating further hassle as i had tried to tackle a pair of guards when they took the prisoners they deemed dangerous inside the dropship - Bellamy included - and shut the door.

Kane had assessed the 100 as i had guessed, he chose John Murphy, Dax Marshall, Chris Foster and Abigail Hatcher as 'dangerous delinquents' that should be locked up with Bellamy Blake.

I tried and failed to help them and now they are inside, people i have come to know and lead, and Bellamy....

Standing in front of the dropship is Kane and my mum, two guards either side of the doors. Octavia is being held by guards just as i am a little way from me and she looks pained and worried and angry as Kane steps foward to speak.

"These criminals were sent down here and now they are joined by their people, i cannot let them roam free! They are still dangerous, and many proved so like John and Abigail by their vicious attacks on our guards as we tried to contain them. Citizens of the Ark, we made it!" Kane says triumphantly and Octavia shouts something but Kane drowns it out with a cough and he starts speaking again. "Jaha wished he could see it with us, and he sacrificed everything so we could make it here...and so as your new Chancellor i will do everything to keep us all safe in our new beginning on the ground." This was met by a few cheers from the Arkers but the 100 were all glaring up at Kane venemously. "Tonight these criminals will be made an example of, and will pay for what they have done, with their lives-"

"Let them go you Asshole!" Octavia screams over him, struggling against the guards holding her.

"They are innocent!" Another of the 100 cries.

"Jaha said our crimes would be forgiven!" Yells another, and another.

"Let them go!"

"Set them free"

"They should be forgiven"

"They are our friends!"

Soon enough, all of the 100 are shouting out threats and they start to merge into one loud mass of angry noise.

Then i am stunned by a shout closer to me, as i stand to the side with most of the Arkers, they have been silent until now, most of them shuffling and listening intently to the 100.

But now, one of them shouts "This isn't the Ark!" It is a boy and he steps foward as he says it.

This induces a wave of murmers from the arkers...of agreement?

"No more death penalty!" Another Arker chants.

More Arkers join in, it is now the 100's moment to be silent as they watch in shock.

Soon enough all the 100 and most of the Arkers are throwing their fists in the air and stomping their feet, chanting "Free the prisoners!" Over and over.

I join in, shouting so loudly into the ears of the guards either side of me that they jump away in shock.

I run over to the 100 to see that Octavia has broken free and a line of people at the front, including Harper, Jasper, Monty, Raven, Octavia and several others, all have spears in hand and are slamming them into the ground threateningly as they chant.

Guards from the Ark that are positioned around camp have their guns raised, but i notice a few of them faultering, and some lowering them entirely.

"ENOUGH!" Cries Kane, his voice a mere murmur against the shouting from all of camp.

"Kane stop, we can't cause such chaos! We have to let them go!" I just about hear my mum say to him and i gesture to everyone to quiet down.

it takes a while but everyone eventually falls silent, except for a few random shouts here and there.

"Alright!" Kane says furiously "everyone calm down, Clarke state your claims!" He says grufly.

"Let the prisoners go and we will show you they arent dangerous!" I say, slightly out of breath, but i draw strength from all the people behind me who are backing me up.

"And if someone gets hurt because of them? If they are in fact dangerous?" Kane snarls and i clench my fists.

"Then killing them isn't the answer-"

"Clarke i have listened to your childish claims and fine. The prisoners can go but i warn you they will be closely watched, and if they step out of line, they will be punished!" Kane hisses threateningly.

Most of the crowd didnt hear the last bit so surge into a chaos of cheering and i stand watching the drop ship door open slowly, my heart pounding.

As soon as Bellamy's hands are free from their cuffs i run up to him and swing my arms around his neck. I dont care if my mum sees, or anyone else for that matter.

"Bellamy oh god! I thought that- oh god let me see your wrists" i pull away before Bellamy can even react, ignoring the movement of camp around me as everyone settles down, the 100 going to their tents and the Arkers settling in to the newly set up area of camp, i check Bellamy' wrists.

They are badly cut into, red and raw. "Shit! Let me clean this up!" I exclaim, my hands shaking. And so i clean him up.

And the next day comes as if the almost mass execution never occured! The next morning is in full swing when i wake up: land being cleared to grow plants, groups going out to search for seeds and another group to go out hunting now there are hundreds more mouths to feed.

The 100 begrugingly move about all morning, set work to do from Kane. At several moments throughout the day i have people coming to me and asking questions, i am glad they still respect me as a leader. None of the 100 respect Kane.

"Looks like we have been fired!" I turn to see Bellamy walking towards me, smiling and i wonder how all of a sudden things seem to have turned back to normal!

"Yeah Kane seems intent on rueling the place!" I scoff indignantly.

"I get the feeling your mum doesnt like me very much- and oh god here she comes!" Bellamy suddenly stands up straight and puts on a charming grin, i smile at him, feeling my cheeks flush so i turn to my mum.

But, she is not looking at me, she is looking at Bellamy. She glances at me for a second when she approaches us but turns her full attention away from me.

"Bellamy Blake...we need to talk"

AN: And with that i leave you in suspence! What does she wanna talk about? Probably not what you are expecting...thats all im gonna say :)
