Chapter 14 - Metal Secrets

~Bellamy's POV~

I walk down the halls of the bunker, the concreate surrounding me and the air stuffy and dense. I watch ahead of me as Octavia takes a left and leads the group of us through yet another hall before turning to a door, a large bolted door between us and what I assume is the Armory.

I watch as Octavia types in a pin lightning fast before the door clicks open, revealing rows of rifles and weapons.

I walk into the room, the other grounders and Octavia stying outside, leaving just Clarke and I in the Armory. I walk past the racks of guns and take the one on the end of the rack. I place it in my hands and run my fingers over the metal of the trigger before looking down the sight and aiming to the floor, perfect.

I look to the other creates and weapons, knives, handguns and several types of explosives. Including sleeping gas. I look to the walls then the floor and my eyes land on a pile of black back packs.

I pick one up and look through the serval compartments before loading it full of supplies.

"It's just a few days." Says Clarke handing me my jacket that I had left in her room.

"I just want to be ready." I say back taking the jacket from her and placing the bag on the ground. I place my arms through the jacket sleeves and place the material over my shoulders. I look back down to the pack and load it with one last canister of sleeping gas before swinging it over my shoulder.

A hand gun at my belt and a rifle in my hands. I watch as Clarke nods before looking around the room herself. I see her look to the hand guns on a small rack. Soon she has one in her hands and 3 ammo clips stashed away in her bag.

I go to walk out the door when I see her slip a knife into her boot. I mentally smile knowing that she is staying prepared. I wait by the door and let Clarke go first, her pack and sniper slung over her shoulder, her hand gun tucked away safely into her pants.

I follow Octavia down the hall and soon we are in the main meeting area once again. The rec room we were just in in sight through another walk way. I look to the tables full of maps and my eyes widen when I see the Hades book sitting on the table top innocently.

I walk away from the group and run into the room we were in just moments before and scoop up the book, and placing it in my pack I record time. I look back to the main meeting area and see Clarke hugging Raven good bye and the warriors saying good bye to Octavia.

I walk back over to the meeting area and the first person I head to is Octavia. I hug her tightly and have to force myself to let go, just seeing her and now walking away from her. After all of this is over, I will never leave her again, I won't let myself .

I finish hugging everyone and we walk up the concreate slope leading to the entrance to the bunker. I see the steel door up ahead and I watch as Octavia walks through first, followed by Clarke, then me, then the rest of the warriors.

Soon we have Octavia opening the latch and the fresh air of planet earth filling our lungs. I take deep breaths and savour the air then turn to the rest of my group. I look to Nikal and find he has the other warriors in my team lined up and ready to go, there is only one other person I have to say goodbye to.

I walk over to Clarke and I find her already looking at me. She holds out her arms and starts walking towards me, and who am I to refuse. I hold her tightly and cradle her head in my hand.

"It's only for days." She whispers into my ear.

"Four days is a long time to be away form someone you love." I say being reminded of the night we sat on the log at what seemed like the end of the world, not knowing the adventure ahead of us.

I feel her smile against my neck and I smile back, happy that my face is away from Nikal and the others.

"May we meet again." I say softly in her ear, knowing I will. If it would be in one life or the other.

"May we meet again." She says letting go and giving me one last smile before walking off I the opposite direction to me.

~Clarke's POV~

I don't look back as I walk off into the wasteland of what is left of earth as Bellamy and his group walk off in the opposite direction. Having memorised the map already I know where to go from here.

I keep a steady pace and soon my group are by my sides as we all trench off into the mountain rages ahead of us, on the other side the dropship.

The mountains have no sign of green on them and I can tell the grounders around me are very confused, very, very confused. No one has said anything, and I can tell that they don't usually speak in general but also they might find this all shocking.

"I will personally take you all to the forest once we continue." I say back to them. I look behind me and watch as one of the Grounders pikes up and widens their eyes as the word forest is mentioned.

I hear small grunts of thanks from the other Grounders and take that as a step forward in our so called relationship as one clan, one land thing.

I look up ahead and see a small dip in the ground and look around for any signs of life before seeing in the centre of the small dip is a gathering of green. I start a fast walk down to the green and walk down the small incline, still in the middle of nowhere, Bellamy's group only just visible with binoculars.

I bend down and look to the gathering of moss in the middle of the small whole. I look to the sand and see small pieces of soil in it. I then look to the rocks and small pieces of what looks like metal scattered around the hole.

It was a lake.

And now it is producing life, even if it is the smallest piece of life I have seen in a while, it is still life. And it is growing. I take my eyes off the moss and move my eyes to the hills up ahead of us.

Mount Weather about another five day hike from where we are. Where I killed all of those people.

Wrong

Where we killed all those people. Bellamy has since convinced me that it wasn't all my fault. That we did it together and we did. But I still have doubt in me. a small feeling that it was all my fault. That all those children, mothers, officers and Maya died because of me.

I shake off the negative thoughts and look up towards the hill ahead of us, what lies on the other side, no one knows.

Please let it be forest, please.

"We should keep going, set up base at the bottom of the mountain and set off again in the morning." I say getting up from the ground and starting to walk off towards the mountain. We should make it by night fall, no. We will make it by nightfall, and we will make it back on the fourth day and I will meet him again.

There it is! Sorry this chapter was kinda crappy but I will be posting another tomorrow, and the next, and the next so stay tunned! Review Please! They help so much!
