Princess To Prisoner To Grounder (Bellamy Blake) Rewriting

Chapter Twenty-Six: Red

       "Let her pass," Lexa said as her guars blocked her.
      "One of your people tried to kill you, Lexa. Not one of mine,"
      "You should have run," Indra said.
      Clarke takes the bottle and drinks from it. After a few minutes, nothing happened.
      "Explain,"
      "The poison was on the cup not in the bottle," Clarke said.
      "A trick. Do not be fooled," Gustus said.
      "It was you. You were the one who tested the cup," Bellamy said letting me go and walking towards them.
      I grabbed his hands to make him stop.
      "Gustus would never hurt me,"
       "You weren't the target, the alliance was," Bellamy said.
        "Gustus, you've been accused, what do you say?"
        "This alliance you cost you your life heda. I could not let that happen," He said.
        "Your treachery will cost you yours. Tie him up!" Lexa said.
        Raven was cut down and two people went to her side helping her. Gustus was immediately put in her spot and tied up. Each village had a turn stabbing him. It was one of the worse things I had ever seen. I pushed away from Bellamy and went and stood behind my father.
       "This was going to happen to Finn," I heard Raven say.
        Lexa steps up to Gustus and delivers the final blow.
        "Yu gonplei ste odon,"
        "We aren't that different are we?" Abby asked.
         Bellamy walked over to were I was standing, a little off to the side.
       "Hey, are you okay?"
       I nodded.
       "Just another day on the ground. Ever way you turn death is knocking at the door," I said.
      He kissed my forehead and pulled me into a hug tightly.
     ---
     Bellamy, Octavia, Lincoln, Clarke and I were sitting by a fire a few hours after what happened to Gustus.
     "How'd you know it was Gustus?" Lincoln asked.
     "You do anything for her to protect her so it made sense," Bellamy said.
     "And what of the thanks you got?" Octavia asked.
     "That was different," Bellamy said.
      "Guys, listen to this," Raven said coming up to us with the radio.
       "Forty-seven of us are trapped inside Mount Weather," The radio said.
       "Talk to him," Clarke said.
       "It's repeating,"
       "We don't know how much time we have left, please hurry," The radio said.
     "We need to do this now. We've got the alliance now is the time to use it," Bellamy said.
      "We need an inside man. You were right without someone on the inside to lower their defenses, turn off the acid fog an army's useless. You should go," Clarke told Bellamy.
       I looked at her like bewildered.
       "I thought you hated that plan. That I would get myself killed," He said.
        "I was being weak, it's worth the risk. My map of Mount Weather. Find a way to get on that radio and talk to us. Good luck,"
        My head was spinning. She was talking about Bellamy losing his life was worth the risk.
      "Bell how are you gonna-" Octavia said
       "I can get you through the tunnels," Lincoln said.
       "Wait. Clarke, are you serious right now? You're gonna risk Bellamy's life?"
        "McKinley, I'll be okay," He said.
        "I'm coming with you then," I said.
        "No, you aren't. That's final," Bellamy said.
        "Let me show you what you're looking for," Raven said pulling Bellamy away.
        I walked straight to where my father and Abby were and I went and hugged my father.
        "Hey, what's wrong?"
        I shooked my head.
        "Wish we were on the ark before I broke the law," I said.
        It wasn't a lie. I miss the old days but I wouldn't have met Bellamy. 
        "Yeah," He said hugging me tighter.
        ---
        The Skaikru was able to go back to Camp Jaha. I was walking behind everyone, thinking about how stupid my boyfriend was stupid.
        "Hey," She said coming out of nowhere.
        I jumped.
        "Fuck Octavia. Scare the shit out of me,"
         "Couldn't convince Bell not to go either I see,"
         "Guess both our boyfriends are idiots," I said.
         "Guess so," She said walking up close to the others.
         I felt someone grab me off to the side and everything goes black.
       ---
    Kane's POV:
      We arrived at Camp Haha a few hours ago and I haven't seen McKinley.
      "Have you seen McKinley?" I asked Jackson.
      "No?" He asked.
      "Probably pouting somewhere," I said.
      I looked up and saw Indra and a bunch of other grounders coming as the gate opens.
     "Welcome. I thought we would hold a reception then go on to training. We have much to learn about each other. Weapons there, please. Only Ark guards are in there," I said.
      Indra looks at me but drops her weapons as well as the other grounders.
      "Thank you for agreeing to meet with us,"
      "I'm here on the Commander's orders. I agreed to  nothing," She said walking in the ark.
      I followed her into the ark. I see Jaha standing next to the council room door.
     "Please, we'll begin in a moment," I said.
     I turned to look at Jaha.
     "They want us to start,"
    "This is a mistake," Jaha said.
    "I convinced Abby to release you, don't make me regret that," I said.
    "Let me tell you how this ends, Marcus. Either we lose and Mount Weather kills us all or we win and our new friends do,"
    "I thought you had faith,"
    "This is their land, and believing that they'll let us live here happily ever after isn't faith, it's stupidity,"
    "You're wrong, it's common sense. There's enough here for everybody, we just need to make them see that it's in their best interest to share. And that starts today,"
     I walked in the council room and its full of Grounders and some of our people.
     "Alright, quiet down. Indra, please. I know we don't have a lot in common. But we do have a common enemy and a common goal. And for us to reach it, to get our people out of Mount Weather we need to work together. Ogeda. Skaikru and Trikru. Our survival depends you sharing your knowledge of this world,"
      I heard some commotion in the back and I looked and wasn't surprised to see that it was John Murphy.
      "Mr. Murphy, apologize to that man," I said.
      "For what? He was the one who came to me,"
     "Two days work detail,"
     "Work detail? I just told you I didn't do it-"
    "Care to make it three?"
     Murphy punches the guy in the face.
    "Murphy! Murphy! Murphy, stop!
      The grounders and our people began talking over each other and starting a riot.
       "Stop this!" Octavia yelled.
       I looked over at Jaha who was leaving the room seeming satisfied.
      -------
      Bellamy's POV:
 
     Lincoln and I were walking through the woods before discovering an animal carcass. Lincoln cuts it and uses the blood to disguise himself and me as reapers.
Bellamy
     "Ok, so we make it to the intake door without any of the real reapers seeing us, what happens then?" I asked.
Lincoln
      "I kill everyone and you slip inside. Limestone," Lincoln asked and I passed a packet to him.
       Lincoln rubs the limestone on his face.
      "Let's go, we got a lot of ground to cover before dark,"
    "Hey, I need to know what happens beyond the intake door,"
    "They remove your clothes, blast you with warm water and douse you with something that burns even worse. Then we were sorted, the other was tagged Harvest. I was tagged Cerberus and turned into a reaper,"
    "Cerberus, the three-headed dog who guards the underworld. My mom read mythology to us all the time, Octavia loved it. You're good for her, you made her strong,"
   "She was already strong,"
   "Hey, I need to ask you something. You protected my sister before you even knew her, why?"
      "When I was a boy, I saw a ship fall from the sky like Raven's. The man inside was hurt, his body broken, I couldn't get him out,"
     "Suicide by Earth, I heard the stories in the Guard I just didn't know they were true,"
    "I brought him food, water. I couldn't speak the enemies language yet so I couldn't understand him but I wanted to. So on the third day, I told my father. He made me kill him. The war's been trying to turn me into a monster for as long as I can remember. Let's keep moving.
      "Wait, parking garage where we found you is north, that way,"
     "There's a mine entrance closer to where the reapers end. We go into the underworld when we have to, not before,"
      "Your girlfriend is gonna be so angry at you when you get back," He said.
      "Wouldn't be the first time,"
      "You care a lot for her," He said.
      "She made me feel like I can breathe," I said looking at a map recognizing we were near Mount Weather.
        "What if we run into real reapers won't they wonder where you've been?"
       "All they see is the red. Once you take it, nothing else matters just how you get more,"
       "How much do you remember from when you were on it?"
        "Everything. Turn around," He said as he rested a log on my shoulders to make me look like a prisoner.
