Alive

Chapter 6

The inside of the lab had been completely gutted of any technology that wasn't useful anymore. As Bellamy looked around their new home he noticed how random everything was. It looked like everything he saw was just something salvageable that Clarke could find after the radiation hit. He was surprised to know that there were so many things that didn't get destroyed by the death wave.

"Well this is home. We mainly stay of this level of the lab, but we still use all of the levels." Clarke motioned to the place she was proud to call home. "I would show you around some more but Madi and I have some training to do."

This caught Madi's attention. "What no. Can't we just take a day off because today is a special day?"

"Not happening. Now go get ready my little nightblood." Clarke talked to Madi in Trigedasleng, letting her know that she wasn't going to budge on training. Madi pouted, mumbling a few words under her breath before heading off to go get ready.

"Did you teach her English?" Monty asked Clarke, curious as to how a child knew both languages.

"She knew very little English when I found her. Her father was a warrior so she told me she would her him talk it sometimes, but I thought she should know it just in case."

"What do you even train her?" Harper chimed into the conversation.

"Well basic Earth skills, how to hunt, stuff we learned on at Ark, and how to fight."

Bellamy was surprised to hear Clarke was teaching her how to fight when she only really knew how to use a gun. "Wait you train her to fight? With what guns?" he asked her.

"No of course not." Clarke let out a small laugh. She almost forgot how they don't know much she's changed in the past six years. "I don't let Madi use guns. You guys can watch our training if you want, we'll only be right outside."

Bellamy was just about to take her up on her offer when he felt a small hand grab onto his arm. He looked down to find it was Jax who grabbed him. "Can I show my room? I can't show any of the girls because they just don't get it. "

Bellamy glanced up at Clarke, who was talking to Raven, before looking back down at Jax. "Show me the way."

..

After about 30 minutes of Jax showing Bellamy literally every single thing in his room he finally made his way outside to watch Madi and Clarke train. He spotted his friends first just a few feet from the entrance.

"Damn it's hot out here" he said raising his hand to shield his eyes from the bright sun. No one was listening to him though, they were all intensely watching the two girls train.

"Clarke has turned into such a badass" Raven said out aloud to no one specifically.

Bellamy looked over and didn't see Clarke at first. He only saw Madi, who had change into some shorts and a tank top. She had her sword raised above her head, preparing to bring it down on her opponent who Bellamy only assumed was Clarke. He saw her bring her sword down, hearing the sound of two swords coming together. Madi took a step to her right and that's when Clarke came into view. Clarke Griffin has surprised Bellamy a number of times but this one definitely tops the list. Clarke was only wearing a sports bra and her pants, with her hair pushed back with some sort of headband. That wasn't surprising, but what was surprising was how she was down in a fighting stance with a sword in hand. Sweat glistened on her skin as she blocked another one of Madi's attacks. He had to do a double take when he saw the tattoo that was spread across her should blades. It was similar to Octavia's, but Clarke's was at least twice as big, spreading from shoulder to shoulder and going a little down her back. Looking over at Madi, Bellamy noticed she had the same exact tattoo but it was on her ribcage. It must've been something the two did together he thought to himself. As he watched he couldn't help noticed how well Clarke was with a sword. She moved so gracefully, it almost looked like she was dancing more than fighting. Move after move she danced out the way from Madi and he could tell it was only making Madi frustrated.
