The 100: The Princess and The Rebel Leader (Discontinued)

Chapter One

The Princess               

It was midday by the time I stepped foot outside of the drop ship to find everyone of The Hundred working on what Bellamy had told them to do. I needed more supplies which weren’t lasting long due to so many people coming to me with injuries since our crash landing on Earth, which was nearly a month ago now and that’s how long our supplies lasted us for except they were meant to last two months. The only person I knew who could help me get those supplies was the one person I hated most at this camp….our so called leader, Bellamy Blake. I spotted him easily, talking with a group filled with the guys he looked kindly to. As much as I wanted to stay away from him and his puppies, I couldn’t, I needed those supplies fast or some of the people I have been treating will fall ill due to infection. I had to face him sooner or later and even though I didn’t like the fact of having to ask him for help, people’s lives were counting on this trip.

I sighed heavily walking up to Bellamy and his group of puppies. “Hey Bellamy? Can I talk with you a moment? Alone? Please?”

He didn’t so much as look at me as his velvet voice told Miller to take over running things for the few minutes while he talked with me. He then turned to me, his onyx eyes locking with mine a moment before passing me, apparently I was to follow him and so I did, wanting to get this over with.

Stopping at his tent, I saw that no one was around to hear us talking to one another, leader to somewhat co-leader. I had been co-leader per say since Charlotte’s death after I helped make the decision of banishing Murphy from camp. After I lost my one and only best friend, Wells Jaha. What I would give to have my best friend back with me? But would things be different if I would’ve let The Hundred kill Murphy when I originally accused him of killing my friend? Would there be more deaths? Would Bellamy and I have a relationship of understanding guilt? “What is it, Princess?” His tone was cool and relaxing which was not like his usual venomous voice that scared the shit out of everyone in camp. Either way, his voice brought me out of the dark train of thought I was taking.

“I need more medical supplies.” I confessed. “I’ve been dealing with so many injured that it’s all gone by so fast, I mean The Ark only sent us down with two months worth of medical supplies and I barley have enough to last us finishing the month we’ve been down here. I need more or people will start dying. Look I talked with Chancellor Jaha and Vice Chancellor Kane earlier this afternoon and they said something about a bunker that was built to withstand the nuclear warfare, the bombs, the radiation. They said that it should hold supplies to help us keep safe during winter and I was hoping that there would be a medical box or something in there as well. I just need someone to come with me and I was hoping that you could help me find someone.”

“Princess, do you really think this is the best idea for you? You’re our only doctor after all. What if you can’t find what you’re looking for?” Bellamy questioned me making me frown suddenly. Why didn’t he trust me?

“Then I’ll turn back, look, Bellamy, I wasn’t coming to your for permission. I was coming to tell you that I’m leaving whether you like it or not, understood?” I snapped, standing my ground. I was the only one to ever challenge Bellamy like this, and by the look he gave me every time I challenge him, he got defensive about his position even though I was his co-leader. “Bellamy, the fact that I am our only doctor makes me feel obliged to have to find more supplies for the injured. I don’t want to feel responsible for any more deaths in this camp.”

His face softened slightly for a moment, he understood my feeling of guilt for he had the same, before it hardened. “Then have your shit ready in ten.” He growled. “We’ll leave then.”

“We?” I questioned.

“Yes, we, you have a problem with that, Princess?” He taunted. “Why do you want your Prince to be with you instead of me?” And just as he spoke those words his face twisted with guilt as my own twisted with anger and hurt. “Shit, Princess, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to bring up a sore subject.”

I pushed past him, needed to find a release. I needed to cry someone where no one would find me. “Its fine, it’s not like I suspected The Rebel Leader to care much for anyone other than himself. I’ll be ready in ten minutes; if I don’t have someone to go with me to the bunker then I’m leaving by myself.” But now wasn’t the time to go cry over my lost best friend, the time was to get what I needed for the trip and ask Octavia if she’d help me by taking care of the sick and injured while I’m gone.

The Rebel Leader

I pulled Miller to the side after my conversation with Clarke. She didn’t want me to come with her on her little trip all because I had brought up the sore subject of her best friend being dead, in all reality you could put the blame on me for his death. I was the one who told Charlotte to slay her demons. Frankly if I were in Clarke’s shoes, I wouldn’t want me to come along either. She didn’t say the exact words of telling me I was no longer coming with her but she implied as much with her last few words. Though I was still going with her to keep her safe, that and I wanted to apologize for what I had said to her, she looked extremely hurt when those words left my lips. Knowing that those words came from me tore me apart.  I don’t know when I started to care for this girl but ever since that I have tried everything to make sure that she didn’t run me yet here she was having me chasing her like a puppy. That would all change though because once I know she is safely on her way back to camp I will leave. I had to; my crimes weren’t going to be pardoned like the rest of The Hundred on Earth. I had tried to kill Chancellor Jaha just to get onto the drop ship with my sister. As soon as the Exodus lands on Earth with the guards I will be as good as dead. I just hope that Octavia will survive without me and I hope Clarke will do good leading The Hundred.

“I need you to watch over The Hundred for a couple of days. I’m going with Clarke to get some supplies we’ll need for winter. My sister will be looking after the sick and injured so make sure her job stays at a peaceful level. And, Miller, if I don’t come back from this trip, Clarke will lead the rest of you. Don’t give her any lip, she’ll be the best thing for you all.” I told the boy before me, his face remaining just as expressionless as my own. “Go it?” I sure as hell hope so, I wanted to make it easy for Clarke to transition all the way to leader by giving someone who would respect my terms.

“Yes sir.” Miller said in a tone that suited him for second in command.

“Good,” I grumbled just before running off the go find my sister and tell her I loved her before I went to go get my things ready for the trip that would ultimately lead me away from the people I had grown close to over the last month here on Earth. I just hope things would stand on their own once I was gone.
