APART - Sequel of Together

Chapter 11: warrior

         Clarke woke up to Madi sitting at the feet of her bed. Clarke had dreamt about the fight with Bellamy, she regretted all of it. "Good morning he-" Madi stopped talking, she didn't know wether to say Heda, mom, Clarke or not to address her at all.
           Clarke sat up. "Morning." Madi wasn't as happy and energetic as she way. Clarke slid next to her. "What's wrong?" Clarke asked grabbing onto Maids hand. Clarke didn't know why she asked that, Madi just had seen many people die and she was captured.
             "Where is Bellamy?" Madi asked. "He is usually here waiting for you to wake up, but he isn't." Madi looked concerned. Clarke didn't know what to say. "Is it because of Octavia? Is he mad at me because she came to help me?" Madis eyes filled with tears.
               "No, no." Clarke pulled Madi into a hug. "None of this is your fault." Clarke sighed. It was. "I think you should stay in your room for today." Clarke patted Madis back. Madi nodded and walked out. Clarke took a deep breath. She walked to Bellamys room.
                 She knocked on the door walking in. He was sitting on his bed writing something in a journal. He looked up and closed his journal. Bellamy stood up. "Bell, I came here to apologize, I didn't mean to say those things I said."
"The truth?" Bellamy shrugged. Clarke shook her head.
Clarke took a deep breath. "You know what the truth is?" Clarke started to sob. "The truth is I came to earth dreading my life. I lost my best friend and I could barley walk. Everyone was counting on me to figure out something, but you? Your the only one who helped me instead of blaming me." Clarke looked down. "I don't think I can forgive myself for blaming you for things even though you never blamed me for my mistakes."
There was silence. "Clarke." Bellamy broke the silence. He was still at the end of the room by his bed. Clarke was just outside the doorway. "You made no mistakes." Bellamy walked closer. He was halfway across the room now. "The only thing I'd consider a mistake would be falling for me." Bellamy rubbed the back of his neck.
                     "That was the one thing I wouldn't change." Clarke gave a side smirk at him. He nodded. "I wish life didn't have to be like this Bell, but these people need me." Bellamy looked down. "And I need you." He looked up. "I can't do this without you Bellamy." He smiled. Clarke laughed. "This is the part where you hug me stupid."
                     Bellamy hasted to Clarke picking her up and swaying her. She nestled into his chest. "I just wish Octavia was here." Clarke put her arms around him. They stayed like that for awhile. Raven walked in. Bellamy released Clarke. "What's up Raven?" Bellamy pull his hand on Clarkes back.
"Nothing, I just came to check on you." Raven itched her forehead. Bellamy gave a soft nod. "Anyways, um I think you should talk to Emori." Raven motioned to Clarke.
Clarke walked to Raven. The two left to Emoris room. "Hello." Clarke entered with Raven behind her. Emori was sitting on her bed reading Lexas journal. She looked up and nodded. "I came to check on you to see how your doing." Clarke said.
Emori stood up. "I'm fine thank you." She smiled. "But I have some questions about Lexa." Ravens eyes softened. Clarke was stiff. "She was ill and then left Polis to you?" Emori questioned. Clarke nodded. "Why? You were not raised with us, nor do i remember you in our fighting tournaments."
Clarke took a deep breath. "I was born in the sky." Emoris eyes widened and looked up. "Me and my people, like Raven." Raven did a small wave. "We came down here looking for peace, I found that with Lexa. We came together as one because of Lexa. I admire her rule."
"And Roan?" Emoris eyebrow raised. Clarke and Raven were confused.
"He died of defeat, our people went to Azgeda to get a prisoner that was ours." Clarke said calmly. Emori looked like she didn't understand. "When was the last time you heard anything about Lexa or Roan?"
"Besides the point." Emori argued. "Now, I think I'll stay here awhile."
"You don't even know what Azgeda is don't you?" Clarke stepped forward. Emori rolled her eyes. "Weren't you a great sister." Emori walked closer the two were angry.
"Okay Clarke time to leave." Raven pulled Clarke away pushing her towards the door.
Clarke stormed out. Raven was about to exit before, "Hey crow." Emori raised her voice.
Raven turned around. "It's Raven."
"Whatever." Emori rolled her eyes. Raven stood with her hand on her hip. "How'd you know Lexa so well?" Raven was blank. "Come sit." Emori sat on her bed and patted it next to her. Raven walked slowly to the bed and placed herself on it.
"She was apart of killing the man I loved, but." Raven took a deep breath. "I forgave her and we became closer. We were very close when she died." Raven shrugged. She didn't know what else to say.
"Hm. Dramatic." Emori smiled. "You loved her?" Emori questioned. Raven nodded. "Must've sucked when died." Raven nodded again. "And the girl you were hovering over in the woods? I assume you loved her too?" Emori was antagonizing.
Raven got up. "What are you trying to get at?" Raven was furious.
"Just sounds like you fall in love with everyone you meet." Emori shrugged.
"Four people over twelve years? That seems like everyone?" Raven yelled. "How can you and Lexa be related when your nothing like her." Raven grabbed Lexas journal and left the room.
                  Clarke and Bellamy had sent engineers to Azgeda to hold their deal in place. Miller came back with the engineers. Clarke was confused. "Back so soon?" Bellamy asked Miller.
                 "There was no one there." Miller replied leaving to his room. Clarke and Bellamy exchanged a worry look. Then, there was a loud launch.
                  Bellamy and Clarke ran to the window where a small missile was launched in the air. It sparked out creating purple ambers in a circle shape. "God damnit." Clarke ran to the lab. Bellamy laughed and followed. Raven was reading Lexas journal. "Raven!" Clarke entered. Raven frantically closed the journal and put it in a drawer.
                  "What?" Raven turned on her chair to face the entrance of the room.
                 "I think Azgeda is screwing around with the Eligius ship." Raven let out a laugh. "I'm serious Raven, they just launched a firework missile!" Clarke was serious.
                   Raven rolled her eyes. "Their a bunch of dumb nuts not like their smart enough to set a bomb off." Raven laughed and turned back racing the computer.
                  Clarke sighed. "Can you at least disable all the access to anything on the ship?"
                   "Only if I go there." Raven turned back around.
                  "Than get ready." Clarke turned around and left. Raven flopped her head on the table.
                   As Emori was walking down the hall, Raven pushed her against a wall. Emori grabbed out her sword and fought Raven against the wall across from them. "What the hell!" 
                    Raven was struggling to get out of Emoris lock. "Come with me to go fix something and teach me how to fight." Emori let go of Raven.
                    "Teach you how to fight?" Emori chuckled. Raven nodded. "You wanna be a warrior?" Emori let out another laugh. Raven nodded again. "Well lets go."
                     Clarke and Bellamy went back up to their rooms to pick up their packs. In Clarkes room, Madi came in. "Where are you guys going?"
                     "Back to the Eligius ship, we will be back soon." Bellamy said with a small smirk. Clarke nodded. Bellamy walked out the door. Clarke stopped and kissed Madis forehead then followed Bellamy.
                   The walk back to the Eligius was interesting. Raven and Emori walked ahead. Raven held Octavia's sword. "Why does she have my sisters sword?" Bellamy exclaimed to Clarke who was walking beside him.
                    "I have no idea!" Clarke seemed confused and a little shocked. Emori would instruct something and then Raven would mimic her as they strolled. They approached the hill where Octavia died.
                  Raven knelt down with lifeless emotion on her face. Bellamy stood silent . Clarke put her hand on his his and leaned on his shoulder. Emori walked to Raven from behind. "A warrior does not morn over those they lost, but instead focuses on those they'll save." Emori held her hand out. Raven grabbed it and hoisted herself up.
                  "What the hell?" Clarke squinted her eyes as she was still close to Bellamy. Another rocket launched near them. They all looked up.
                   Bellamy sighed, sounding hopeless. "What, the , hell."
