Now we attack ≫Chapter 16≪

"Why aren't they attacking?" A random girl in camp asks confused trying to catch her breath.

"Because we're doing exactly what they wanted us to do." Clarke explains

"If it's just scouts we could fight our way out. That's what Lincoln would do." Finn protests

"We're done doing what that grounder would do. We tried, now Drew's dead." Bellamy growls back, "you want to be next?" He's got a point. We gave Lincoln's suggestion a chance. The scouts were just here earlier then expected.

"That grounder saved our lives." Octavia answers Bellamy

"I agree with Octavia. For all we know, there's one scout out there." Finn inputs

"One scout with incredibly good aim? Lincoln said scouts. Not scout." I argue

"Clarke. We can still do this." Finn looks at Clarke completely ignoring me.

"What's it gonna be? Run and get picked off in the open, or stand and fight back?" Bellamy asks

"Slaydher's right. Lincoln said scouts. More than one. He said, 'get home before the scouts arrive'" she answers and turns to Finn, "Finn, they're already here." Clarke then turns to Bellamy, "Looks like you've got your fight."

"Alright, here goes nothing." I mumble

"This is what we've been preparing for. Kill them before they kill us." Bellamy yells

"Gunners to your posts. Use the tunnels to get in and out. From now on the gates stay closed." Bellamy orders. Octavia and I make our way to the fox holes when Bellamy stops us.

"Hey, you guys aren't gunners." I push my way past him and into the hole before turning back towards him

"We're grounders." I state before turning back and continuing outside of the walls.

"So how the hell do we do this?" Clarke asks.

"We've got 25 rifles with 20 rounds each, give or take. Roughly 500 rounds of ammo." Bellamy explains.

"While you were gone we made some improvements. The gully is mined.. well partially." I correct myself.

"Thanks to Murphy." Raven mutters

"Still it's the main route in. If the grounders use it, we'll know. She also built grenades. It's not many." Bellamy continues

"Again, thank you Murphy" Raven adds

"We'll make them count." Clarke says

"If the grounders make it through the front gate, guns and grenades should force them back." Bellamy exclaims

"And then?" Clarke asks

"We close the doors and pray." Bellamy replies

"And pray what? That the ship keeps them out? Because it won't." Clarke states bluntly

"Then let's not let them get through the gate." Bellamy tells her. He pulls the walkie talkie up to his lips "all foxholes, listen up. Inflict casualties, as many as possible. You can hold them off long enough to make them turn back. That's the plan."

"That's always your plan. Just like the bomb at the bridge." Clarke rolls her eyes.

"You got a better idea?" Bellamy argues back.

"Fuel.." I murmur. With that I open the latch and move down. I look around for a moment before popping my head out of the latch.

"I said we've got no gun powder left." Raven says

"I don't want to build a bomb" I state rolling my eyes. " I want to blast off. Draw them close, fire the rockets, ring of fire.." I trail on

"Barbecued grounders... I like it." Raven smiles. I pull myself out of the latch.

"Will it work?" Bellamy asks.

"The wirings a mess down there. But yes" I state

"If you give me enough time, I'll cook them real good." Raven adds. I step out and make my way to the fox holes with Bellamy following.

"B"

"Don't call me that." I retort

"Will you stop and look at me for 2 seconds." He pleads. I stop in my tracks and turn around. Anger builds as I make my way to his face.

"Happy Bellamy? I'm looking at you. You wanna know what I see Bell?" I spat "I see the same exact person I saw the second we stepped foot on the ground. A man who just wants to have sex and be above people." I turn away from him when he grabs my wrist and pulls me into his chest.

"Don't be naive. You know that that's not me anymore. You know that I want to lead our people and keep them alive. And you know that I am completely in love with you and only you." I froze when those words came through his gritted teeth. "You don't even know what happened. She came on me" I laughed

"And you allowed it." I stated before pulling my wrist out of his hand and walking through the fox hole and out the gate.

"They're here" someone says.

"Where's Octavia?" I ask

"She left 5 minutes ago. Didn't say where to. She thinks she's a damn samurai." I look at my feet and smile.

"You see anything?" Someone asks

"No." Bellamy replies

"What the hell are they waiting for?" The same person asks.

"The longer they wait, the better. More buying time for Raven." Bellamy states

"I see them! They're moving. I count 2, no 3, no wait, there's more." Sterling shouts into the walkie, "I don't know man, there's too many of them!"

"South foxhole. Report." Bellamy says into the walkie

"We're okay. They didn't attack. It's like, it's like shooting at ghosts." I freeze. They want us to run out of ammo. I run up to Bellamy and take the walkie talkie out of his hand.

"All gunners listen up. The grounders are not attacking. They're making us waste bullets. Don't shoot when they're running laterally." I inform through the walkie

"West foxhole pulling back." A voice sounded. I look at Bellamy one last time before kissing him on the forehead.

"Now we attack."
