Chapter 8 - We Meet Again

~Clarke's POV~

I haul the rover battery into my arms and soon are meted by Bellamy. I watch as he takes the other side of the battery taking some of the weight off my back and helps me carry it up the large hill of rubble and towards Emori and Murphy's hole.

I look down into the hole and see Monty and Raven ripping apart a radio and half a satellite, their hands working relentlessly, hoping to get the bunker open.

"Do you think it will work?" I hear Bellamy say from the other side of the battery in our arms.

"I sure hope so." I say before taking my first step into the hole. We place the battery on the ground next to Monty and Raven and look down at the bunker entrance.

"If only we had the key." I hear Murphy say from the top of a large stone he is using as a seat. I nod agreeing, taking the key into the bunker was smart, yet also stupid. For situations like this, it would have come in handy.

I look down to Raven and Monty and hear a small grunt and see a small flash of light coming from the battery. I catch Monty with his finger in his mouth and a frown on his face. I look closely at his finger once it escapes his mouth from where I am next to the others and see that he has burnt it.

I watch Raven roll her eyes before placing one plug onto the battery and connecting it to a small device placed on top of the bunker hatch. I watch her slowly connect the brightly coloured wires before connecting the last one, a small spark flying in Monty's direction.

I watch as Raven expertly places the last plug on the bunker hatch and starts to turn on the battery. I fell the energy radiating off the box and soon I hear a small screech.

I cover my ears as the noise rings out, scaring every animal in a radius of three miles away, running for the nearest safe place. I hear the noise suddenly stop and I un-cover my ears. I watch raven tweak one wire before placing a small metal rod against the metal of the hatch.

I watch as she taps it over and over in the same pattern on the solid metal of the bunker hatch, each tap vibrating her hand and arm.

"What are you saying?" Asks Emori looking to the vibrating rod.

"Open bunker." Says Raven repeating the message over and over.

I look to Bellamy and see the concern. I reach out and place my hand on his shoulder. "Hey, it might take them a while." I say looking up to him, how did he get so tall?

I watch him nod and I can tell he's only slightly convinced. I sigh and look back to Raven, her hand tapping at the same speed, in the same rhythm, over and over.

~Bellamy's POV~

My gut hurts and my heart aches, I haven't felt this nervous in a long time. I Remember saying my last goodbye to her, I remember her last goodbye to me, I miss her voice I miss everything about her.

I stand up and walk over to Raven, her hand on her chin and her body limp against a rock.

"How's it coming?" I ask, wanting to know if she even has it working.

"I will keep going for another hour." She says her hand still tapping away on the metal, each tap, one beep one sign that were up here waiting for them.

I look around at the piles of rocks and ruins and find the need to look around but only for a moment, I want to be the first to hug her. I step out of the pile and move across and past the parked rover until I make out what was probably the main street through Polis.

I walk for a few minutes before I see my first corpse, well part of one. I look to the hand sticking out of the rocks and all I see is bone, no clothing or skin, not even flesh, just bone. I lure my eyes away and keep walking up the rocky road towards another large pile of stone.

I look through and see it's not completely destroyed, a small opening like a cave visible from the outside. I bend down and look through the gap intrigued. I take one step in before thinking what this could possibly lead to.

The roof collapsing, parts of the rubble falling on me, another dead body, a pile of bones.

"It's safe." I hear a voice behind me and see Clarke. I turn around and meet her gaze.

"Any news?" I ask hopeful. I watch her shake her head in a small no and I nod back understanding.

I look behind her and see the arm hanging out of the rock, its fingers seem to almost move in the slight breeze falling through the rubble and ruins. Clarke follows my gaze and finds the arm and I watch her breath hitch.

What she does next I don't expect. I watch her walk over to the hand and lift the rock holding it down, then the next then the next. Until the whole arm is noticeable and exposed to the sun shooting down on us.

After all she has done, all she has buried. She still has time and will make time for this last sole, this is this why I love her? No, there are too many other reasons.

I feel a pain in my gut and look up towards the bunker. I feel it, I know I can.

Without thinking I grab Clarke's wrist and pull her up towards the pile of rocks, the bunker hidden inside. I reach the top of the hill and look down to Raven still tapping away.

I swear I felt it.

My thoughts trail off and the world seems to slow down when I see the latch door move. I watch as the bunker latch opens and Raven jumps to her feet looking at us, yet another smile showing.

I don't smile, not until I know she's ok. I feel Clarke's hand grip my hand, her fingers wrapping around mine and a slight squeeze push through my arm. I squeeze back and watch as the hatch swings open completely.

My heart stops and my breath seems to hitch as I watch dark brown hair appear through the bunker entrance, then I see her face.

Her skin slightly pale but beautiful at the same time, her eyes the same dark brown I remember and the Heda symbol of the commanders placed on her forehead, a symbol well known to everyone as power and strength.

I let out a breath and feel relief rush through my body, leaving hope and accomplishment in the place of pain and disgrace. I squeeze Clarke's hand one last time before leaping down the rocky slope and straight into her arms.

I feel her arms latch around my neck and I let out a shaky breath that I can't help. I keep her close and smell in her sent.

She's here, she's safe, she's in my arms.

I smile into her neck and I feel her do the same, I pull away only so I can get a better look at her, her eyes, her smile.

"Hello big brother." She says her voice just how I remember it, maybe a bit more matured, stronger but still hers.

Hey I told you guys there would be a beautiful Blake reunion, but there is still more to come next chapter so stay tuned, a new chapter everyday!
