Chapter 30 - The Past

~Clarkes POV~

Bellamy looks slightly shocked once I meet his eyes, I can tell he is still trying to process what I have just said, moving the words around in his head, trying to find the answer.

I look down at Nick and I can see the colour of his skin starting to turn pale, the blood slowly leaving his face, and more blood coming from the wound. Without anything to get the bullet out and nothing to carry him back to camp on theres too many things that can go wrong.

Not only might his blood not be strong enough to handle the radiation even if his is doing well now, that could change in mere moments. I haven't got enough bandages or herbs to fix the relentless scratches on his knees and hands form falling, let alone the bullet still lodged between his spine and flesh.

I look over to Bellamy and find him still looking at me, like he can see the gears turning in my head. I take a deep breath and go through the options once in my head once again. I look up to Bellamy and meet his eyes, the brown seeming to seep out of them and fill the world around us with warmth.

I shake my head and place my hand on Nicks leg, knowing he can't feel it. I sigh and I can see the pain behind his eyes. Knowing that he is going to lose yet another person, even if he has known them for mere hours.

I clear my throat and blink back tears and sit down on the sand next to both Bellamy and Nick. The grainy pieces of rock flooding into my shoes and scratching my skin lately.

"Bellamy came down to Earth to save his sister." I say with a small croak and I can see Nicks eyes widen.

"You have a sister?" He asks in disbelief. I crack inside knowing now that the bunker we had just escaped had population laws just like the Ark, siblings not allowed and punishment given out if such laws were broken.

I nod and look to Bellamy, his arms tense and his fists clenched together. "When we fist landed, it was so beautiful, there were trees for as far as the eye could see." I say remembering back to the strolls I had with Finn and Lexa through the thick under growth, the many I also had with Bellamy.

I see something flash through Bellamy's eyes and I can tell it's a memory of some kind, I then see his eyes darken slightly and I begin to pick out the right one.

"We thought it was safe." He says clenching his fists in and out like the beat of his heart. "We were wrong, its beauty tricked us." He says looking back to Nick now, his brown straight hair covering his forehead in a messy bunch.

"We found that we were not alone on Earth, that others had survived the end of the world over one hundred years before." I say thinking back to Lincoln. Memories of Lincoln and Octavia seem to flood my mind and I reach for Bellamys hand, knowing he is thinking the same thing.

As if knowing he takes it while I move it towards him in a tight grasp I know he won't break, it seems that he doesn't tend to break grasps, if they mental, or physical.

"We called them Grounders at first." Says Bellamy, his voice still seeming to harden at the mention of the word. "But we soon found that they had names, that they were just like us." He says with the weakest smile I think I have ever seen him show.

He looks over to me next and I take a small breath before continuing the story we now seem to be telling.

"One was called Lincoln, he feel in love with Bellamy's sister, Octavia." I say looking to Nick. I watch his eyes light up and I watch him look to Bellamy, almost excitement in his eyes.

"I read that book." He manages to croak out with a slight cough. I watch Bellamy lock eyes with Nick and I watch the smile fill the places between his lips, his teeth showing slightly.
