Chapter 25 - Back Again

~Clarke's POV~

I walk down the hall, the white lab coat brushing against my knees and my gun rubbing against my side. My same black military boots form the bunker look the same as everyone else's and my hair looking out of place.

But that doesn't matter, I won't be here for long.

More and more people walk past me, not paying any attention to me, I look just like everyone else, the only things that stand out are my skin colour and hair. I take a deep breath and turn another corner and are shocked by the amount of people I see.

It's almost like Mount Weather, a large gathering space, people gathered around places. Food being served and drinks being poured. I walk slowly past a table and see that most of the meals are vegetarian, until I see a large pork roast in the centre of one of the main tables.

I feel my mouth watering and my jaw slack as I look at the apple stuffed into the hog's mouth and the meat basically falling off the bones of the beast. How did they get such a wonderful animal, good enough to eat?

I take a deep breath and go to walk past the tables and down the next hall when an older man walks up to me with red hair covering his head and a small smile covering his face.

"You look hungry, help yourself." He says gesturing to the mountains of food spread out among the tables.

I panic until I tell myself to calm down, they don't know who you are, remember. "No, I better not." I say politely trying to sound innocent.

"No I insist, eat with me, will you?" He asks touching my shoulder, his hands a pale white and his hands cold. I go to say no but he has me being pulled towards a table near the back of the room. the chairs covered in black cushions looking out of place in the white room.

"May I ask your name?" He says sitting down on one of the chairs. I think back to Bellamy, what would he do, he wouldn't give away his true identity that's what he would do.

"Ah my names Lexa." I say thinking of the first name that pops into my head, yet almost regretting it straight away.

"Nice to meet you Lexa, I'm James Codogan." He says waving at someone in the crowd behind me. The name snaps into my head instantly, the day Jaha had come to Bellamy talking about the Second Dawn bunker, the owner Bill Codogan.

I cough but soon have my mind back in check. "Nice to meet you." I say clenching my hands together.

"So Lexa, what department do you work in?" He asks catching my gaze, one that I don't think I can break.

I think back to the closet and find an excuse pretty quickly. "Cleaning." I say almost too quickly.

"What is such a smart girl like you doing in Cleaning?" He asks and I feel my mind going into over drive again.

"I don't know." Is the best I can say looking to the floor. I need to get out of here, I need to go find Bellamy and we need to leave.

"Mr Codogan-" I go to say but are interrupted by the man himself.

"No please call me James." He says with a smile. I fake smile back and take a deep breath.

"James, may I ask why you taking with me?" I say wanting to be out of here. I watch as he exhales and looks to the exit of the room.

"You look like the rebellious young woman trapped under the ground, your hair. Berries have been used to dye it correct." He says looking to me. I don't say anything and I listen as he continues.

"To dye your hair you would have had to sneak into the farming sector on floor 4 without being seen, take the berries make them into dye then apply it to your hair." He says still looking at me with a smug grin thinking he has figured me out. If only he knew who I was and what I'm capable of.

I bet if I told him I have murdered over three hundred people his grin would disappear.

"To do all of that, you must have skill." He finishes with. I keep a blank face and think about where this could lead.

"You got me." I say crossing my arms over my chest in a fake surrender. Now I think about how I can tun this whole thing around, how I can get this man to show me where the prisoners are kept and how a can get out of this place.

"I will make you a deal, you show me around this whole bunker, think of it as a private tour. And I will show you all the faults in your security." I say my poker face on. I watch him consider it.

"You already know your way around this bunker, what else would you want to see." He asks suspecting I have lived here my whole life.

"I want to see the things a normal person doesn't see." I say hoping he will agree.

I watch him nod and think about my offer. "Agreed, as long as you tell me everything you know about our security and how to bypass it." He says standing form the table forgetting the food.

"Agreed." I say extending my hand to him, he grasps it firmly and our deal has been made.

I follow him form the table and out towards the white hall. I follow him down the white halls and past and through crowds of people all socialising having no idea what is going on.

I follow Mr Cadogan down another hall and then I see another elevator down the hall ahead of us. I watch as he presses the down button and the elevator opens almost immediately. We both step inside and he looks to me.

"Where to?" He asks looking to the number of floors. I go through them and my eyes land on 1. I click the number myself and I watch him nod. I watch as the number glows red and I look to him.

I watch carefully as he pulls a key card form his pocket and scans it over the number. Soon the elevator is descending to floor 1, hopefully where Bellamy is being held.

~Bellamy's POV~

I look to the kid at the back of the cell, his hands in his pockets and the bandage still covering his wrist.

"What's your name?" I ask. I watch as the boy looks to me and then looks back to the ground.

"Nick, Nick Note." He says taking his hands out of his pockets and placing them in his lap. I nod and he looks back to me.

"And you?" He asks and I follow with my usual lie until I think about it.

"I will tell you once you answer one question." I say looking to Nick sitting up against the wall of the cell. I watch him nod and I ask the question.

"Why are you here?" I ask wondering why such a young kid, nearly younger than Octavia could be down here.

"My grandparents where immune to the radiation outside, something to do with genetics, I don't really know. They had my father, he was then immune to it as well. The Seniors didn't know this until I was born." He says stopping and looking to me. I nod for him to continue and he does.

"They took me from my parents and they were killed once they didn't apply, I have been down here for about a year now and they use my blood to find a cure to reach the surface." He says. I sigh and think about how that would be.

Your parents being killed for trying to keep you safe.

"My name is Bellamy." I say to him and I watch his head pipe up from its normal slouched position.

"What's your story Bellamy?" Asks Nick, thinking it's somehow like his, that I grew up in this bunker, that I'm not form the surface.

"Would you fight with me to get out of here?" Considering taking him with me. I watch him nod quickly and I take that as a yes.

"I will tell you my story once we get out of here." I say smiling.

"How can you be so sure where getting out of here?" He asks confused as to what I'm implying.

"I know a guywell I know a girl." I say correcting myself.

Congrats if you have made it this far, all the other chapters I have been writing lately have been very boring, and I am very sorry about that, thanks again guys.
