I looked everywhere. At the cabin, where he usually was with his friends, all along the walls, where they doing their work, even in the cafeteria.

As I was looking for Bellamy around the camp, I noticed that many of the guardsmen were nowhere to be found. Just like the man I was searching for. After I had looked everywhere and didn’t find him, I went to see Kane. Maybe he had changed some orders, so that Bellamy was out with the hunting parties or something.

I knocked at the door. “Who is there?”, a familiar voice called. “It’s me”, I answered slowly getting impatient to wait any longer to know about Bellamy. “Come in”, he called and when I did, I saw maps and strategic pieces of paper everywhere. What the hell happened?, I thought to myself. “What’s wrong, Clarke?”, Kane asked me with a concerned look. He was scanning me from head to toe and back. At the end of that his eyes stayed on my face.

“I would like to know where the father of my child is stationed today”, I stated, causing him to froze.

“Clarke, you should better sit down first.” Markus waved to a chair, next to another stack of papers, he removed fast. I shrugged my shoulders. “I’m good, if you just would tell me - now!” I suggested impatient. His look showed me that the answer wouldn’t be that easy to take. Markus waved again to this chair and I did as he wanted and sat down.

“Okay, Clarke, you know that Ice Nation isn’t really happy with us being a part of the coalition under Lunas leadership.” I nodded getting worried. “Bellamy was out with a hunting group today and as they were hunting they crossed an invisible line.”
All of a sudden I felt so cold. I felt hot tears form in my eyes, but I fought against them. Yet he didn’t said anything, I tried to convince me. “We know nothing for sure, but Indra told us that they killed Riley and took Miller, Brian and Bellamy away.” After he had finished, I tried to figure out what that meant. Riley was dead, murdered by Azgeda warriors. Bellamy, Miller and Brian taken by them. Bellamy was somewhere in an Ice Nation prison.

“We need to save them”, I said without hesitation. The tears now rolling down my cheeks. “We will, Clarke, I promise. I am leaving in five to meet Luna and discuss what to do next.” I whipped away the tears and tried to gather myself up.

“I’m coming with you. I’ll meet you in 5 at the front gate”, I sniffed. I was about to leave, but he held me back by grabbing my arm. “You’re not in the condition to travel.” Somehow he was right, even if I didn’t want to admit it. I couldn’t take such a long and dangerous journey.
