Earth's Echo (The 100)

The Battle

Clarke turned to Bellamy who was staring at me. "Looks like you got your fight." She said scornfully. 

Bellamy nodded, and stared off into the crowd. "Ok, then. This is what we've been preparing for. Kill them before they kill us. Gunner, to your posts." Bellamy kept rambling, and I ran off to find Raven. 

She was in the Dropship, and she looked up at me. "Hey, Doc." She said. 

"How are you feeling?" I asked bending down next to her examining her wound. 

"Dizzy, but I guess that's from the blood loss." She smiled. I was glad one of us was happy. 

Just as I was about to ask her more questions, Bellamy, Finn, and Clarke came into the Dropship. "We've got 25 rifles with 20 rounds each, give or take. Roughly 500 rounds of ammo." Bellamy said as they all gathered around a crud model of the camp. "While you two were gone, we made some improvements. Thanks to Raven, the gully is mined."

"Partially mined. Thanks to Murphy." Raven said. 

"Still, it's the main route in." I said trying to bring up Raven's spirits. "If the grounders use it, we'll know."

"She also built grenades." Bellamy lifted up the bombs. 

"That's not many." Clarke commented. 

"Again, thank you, Murphy." I stood up, and walked out of the Dropship to get some fresh air, all the war talk was making me sick. As much as I was a warrior, I wasn't ready to see so many of my friends die. 

"Hey, you alright?" Bellamy asked joining me at my side. 

"Fine," I lied. 

"It will soon be over, Clarke and Raven came up with an idea that will kill the grounders." Bell said. 

"What?" I asked. 

"They're gonna ignite the rocket fuel in the ship and cook all the grounders that are outside the drop ship." 

"Not just the grounders who are outside, but everyone who is outside. So if any of us are left out, we're dead." I commented. 

"Then we'll just have to make sure everyone is in the ship." He said. 

"Easier said than done." 

******

I helped everyone organize, and I was about to go to the tunnels when someone caught my shoulder. "Where are you going?" Bellamy asked. 

"The Foxholes." I said. 

"Not without a gun your not." 

"I'm not useful here, besides, when the grounders come, I'll run out to meet them, I'll slow them down." I said. 

"We're gonna need our doctor when this is over." 

"I can't even help save Raven, how will I be able to help anyone else!" I said shaking with anger and fear. "And I can't deal with it, I just can't with deal with people expecting stuff from me, especially when I'm a failure." 

"We all know that you are trying your hardest," When I didn't answer he continued. "There's something else bugging you." 

I breathed in. "I'm scared, I've faced my mortality before, but never have I faced so much death. I don't think I can bare to watch any of you die." 

Bellamy grabbed my shoulders and stared me in the eyes. "You won't lose me." He nodded, and I nodded too. 

Drums started pounding in the distance, and everyone perked up. "They're here." I said as Bellamy started breathing heavily.
