Together

Chapter 10: Sacrafice pt1

        Bellamy and Clarke returned to the drop-ship. Raven and Octavia were sitting across from each other in front of a tent. Once Octavia noticed Clarke and Bellamy, she ran up to them.
        Bellamy hugged her. "How did it go?" Octavia was concerned. Clarke was about to talk, but then Bellamy replied.
         "We are all at peace, including Lincoln." Bellamy held Octavia's hands. Octavia looked at Clarke. Raven came up to them smiling.
           "Finn is getting water, he should be back soon." Raven out to the woods where the water bank was.
             "I need to get water too." Bellamy looked out.
             "I'll go get water. You can stay here with Octavia." She put her hand on Bellamys shoulder. Bellamy gave her a concerned look, but then Clarke nodded. She gave him the trust look again. He nodded back. 
              "You don't need to worry about Finn. He has a gun." Raven said which such calmness. Bellamy and Clarke were shocked. They both were surprised. Raven was confused. "You didn't know that?" Bellamy and Clarke both shook their heads. "He told me that he stole it." 
               "I'm going now." Clarke rushed to the woods. As she was walking, she heard a group of three people. She saw them walking to the bank , grounders. Then she saw Finn, grabbing water. As Finn made eye contact with the grounders he reached to his side, the gun. One grounder raised out his hand and walked closer to Finn. In a blink, Finn pulled out the gun and pointed it to the grounder and boom. He fell. "Finn!" Clarke screamed as loud as she could. The two grounders looked at Clarke than at Finn. They both ran.
               Clarke ran to Finn, grabbing the gun. She looked down at it. She realized it was hers, the one her dad gave her. Finn stole it for her. She looked back up at Finn. "We need to leave. Now." She pulled his arm and began to run. 
                When they got back, it was easy to tell something had happen. Clarke brought him into a tent. Bellamy entered, then Octavia, than Raven. "What happened to getting water?" Bellamy raised his hands.
                "We can worry about water later." Clarke snapped. Raven looked at Finn. He looked disappointed. She went over to him.
               "Finn, what happened?" She grabbed his hand. Finn kept looking down. Raven turned to Clarke. "Clarke?"
               Clarke swallowed. "He did something bad. We need to protect him. Everyone take turns guarding this tent." Clarke pointed to the ground to represent the tent. Bellamy looked at Octavia. Everyone nodded.
                "I'll watch him first." Raven volunteered. Everyone left. Hours pasted, than Lexa and her guards appeared at the front of the camp.
                Clarke went up to her. Bellamy followed. "Hello, Lexa." Clarke greeted her.
                  "Clarke, something has happened that jeopardizes our peace treaty." Lexa replied. She was worried. Clarke looked down. "Give us the one you call Finn, our peace starts with his death." Lexa frowned.
                  Bellamy looked at Clarke waiting for her to answer. She did. "Why? Why does peace have to equal death?" Clarke raised her voice.
                 "I'm sorry, but your lucky the vote went to sacrifice one, instead of you and everyone else. He killed one our warriors who will not get his life back. Blood must have blood." Clarke didn't know how to reply to that. "You have 24 hours to give him up, after that, we do things the warriors way." Lexa looked down then turned around walking back into the woods.
                 Clarke turned around to Bellamy. She was thinking, Bellamy could tell. Clarke started to march off to the tent, but he grabbed her arm. She turned around. He started, "Clarke-"
                  "We aren't letting Finn die." She cut him off and walked to the tent. Bellamy followed. Clarke discussed to everyone to keep Finn safe. "We can run away or fight back or something else. Give me time to figure it out." She concluded with.
                    "Just let them have me." Finn confessed. Raven and Clarke looked at him and shook their heads. Bellamy looked at Clarke. 
                    "No." Clarke demanded. Than she left. Raven touched Finns hand and gave him a sincere look, than walked outside. It was just Finn and Bellamy.
                   Octavia walked in with Lincoln. Bellamy made his shoulders broad. Octavia and Finn looked at eachother and nodded. Bellamy was obviously missing something. "What's happening?" Bellamy questioned.
                  Finn sighed. "Lincoln is going to bring me to Lexa. I'm not going to put anyone in danger." Bellamy gasped. He had a million things to say. "Bellamy, don't ruin this. I'm beginning you."
                 Bellamy looked down. "What about Clarke? At least say goodbye to her." He looked at Finn. Finn nodded.
                 Lincoln and Octavia left the tent. Bellamy was about to leave but then Finn stopped him. "Bellamy." He started. "I came down to protect her, can you do that for me?" Finns eyes started to tear up.
                 Bellamy looked outside of the tent , he saw Clarke carrying water. She smiled to a girl who walked by her. He looked back at Finn. "Of course." Bellamy nodded. Bellamy left the tent calling Clarke, "I need to get some water, watch him for 5?" He looked at Clarke, trying to act like nothing was wrong. 
                  "Sure." Clarke wiped her hands on her pants. "Be back soon!." She patted Bellamys back and walked in the tent. She sat down across from Finn.
                 "Clarke." Finn started. "You are the best person I've ever met. Even though you totally hate me, I want you to remember me." Finn smiled.
                 Clarke stood up. "Your not dying." She turned around about to walk out. Finn reached out for her hand. He held it for a while. Clarke just looked at him. He let go and smiled. She left the tent. She did not know that was the last time they would talk to one and another.
