At last

Chapter seven

Clarke's point of view

I groaned as I awoke. I felt a small, nagging pain in my neck.  Probably from how my head was drooped downwards, I assumed. I lifted to my hand to rub it, only to hear the sound of chains clanging together and familiar feeling of handcuffs straining against my wrist.
My eyes slammed open, only to be violated by a bright ceiling light. I squinted, my eyes slowly adjusting.
I was in a rather spacious room, the lack of decoration in the dull room calling back memories of the Ark. There was one window in the room, in front of where I was positioned.
I was seated in an uncomfortable chair. I tried to move my limbs, immediately noticing that my wrists were cuffed together as well as my ankles.
There was a wide, smooth desk in front of me. A large, cushioned chair that looked more like a throne was stationed at the other end.
From what I could see, this setup looked to be the only furnishings in the room.
My attention was drawn to the short figure standing in front of the window. Based on her figure, she was a female. Her back was turned to me, staring out the window at the green forest outside.
I observed her clothing. She wore a rather plain, long-sleeved dress that flowed covered her neck just skimmed the top of the floor. The dress was pure white, except for the golden swirls that spiralled from the bottom of the dress up to her hips. She wore white gloves on both of her hands, with short brown hair that halted just above her shoulders.
As of right now, she was the most colourful thing in the room.
Was there even anyone else in here with us?
I looked around to see two of those... robot things guarding the doorway behind me, rifles in their hands. I could tell from their armour, and the featureless, glinting helm atop their heads.
I knew they weren't the same ones from the way their armour was slightly differently shaped, and the hues were lighter and darker.
They weren't the same ones that had taken Madi and I.
... Madi. Where was she?
Fear filled me.
"Hey, where's Madi? Where am I? What do you people want from us?" The loudness of my voice tore through the silence of the room as I questioned the woman standing at the window.
I heard her let out a breath. "You're awake, I see." She turned towards me.
I instantly noticed the white blindfold-typed fabric that covered her eyes. She had pale white skin and lips, which almost blended with the colour of her clothing.
I swallowed, watching as she moved towards her chair. Her dress flowed elegantly with her gentle strides. She sat down in the chair across from me, calmly folding her hands on the desk.
Her behaviour was the exact opposite of mine right now.
"Don't worry, your child is fine. She's waiting for you in the room I've had prepared for you both." Her tone was like silk. "Based on your amount of questions, I'm sure you're pretty confused as to why you're here. That's what we're here to discuss. Make yourself comfortable," she paused when I raised my eyebrow quizzically, rattling my handcuffs together. "... if that's possible, because it's a long story."

Bellamy's point of view

It has been two days since raven installed the wire and were still up here. I am starting to loose hope... we will never get back to earth. To help clarke. Who knows what was happening to clarke right now. What if she was hurt. What if-

"Bellamy!"
I turn from the window to the voice that disturbed my thoughts. raven has a concerned look on her face.
"What?"
She took a breath and came closer. "The control pad if fixed... were ready to go home."
A smile spread across my face as I came closer, "that's great!"
She shook her head with disagreement.
"Whats wrong?"
She looked down at her hands then back up at me, there are only six suits... someone has to stay behind."
"What happened to the other suit?"
"It's ripped."
"Can't you fix it!?"
"The holds to big bellamy, it can't be fixed," raven sigh.
I shake my head.
"So who is staying," Are the only words That can manage to escape my lips. Raven looked back behind her down the hall to where everybody sat around the table.
"I didn't tell them yet..."
Bellamy sighs and looks back at earth. Raven places her hand on my shoulder shaking her head, "Bellamy you can't stay... we need you. Clarke needs you."
I look back at raven with a frown, "we don't even know if Clarke's alive raven... those people could have killed her."
"Hey," raven shoved my shoulder. "Don't think like that bellamy! She is alright. We will get back to her."
I nod and look down the hall at the others at the table. "We need to tell the others."
Raven nods and looks back too.
"Come on."
We walk down the hall together and sit down.
"Uh Guys..."
Everyone looks at me with a small smile.
"We're going home-"
I am interrupted by all the cheers and hugs by the others.
"But someone is staying here. "
Everyone looks at me with confused.
Emori grabs Murphy's hand with fear, stuttering on her words,
"wh-what do you mean? Someone has to stay... we have all the suits!"
Raven shakes her head, "no one of them is ripped. Someone has to stay."
Murphy looks over at me and than at raven, "who is staying?"
"Well," I sigh. "That's what we need to figure out.
