Survivor

chapter eleven

Lizzie's POV

"Get Clarke!!" I commanded Charlotte quickly as I crouched back down to Wells height. From all the time I spent watching and helping Clarke, I knew how to check his pulse and signs of him already being dead.

From the corner of my eye I saw Charlotte turning and leaving quickly to find Clarke. I payed no more attention as I placed two of my fingers agaisnt Wells neck. I was startled by his cold skin, which wasn't good news at all..did he really end up dying from the spear??

I could feel no pulse which made me shudder. I shakily pulled my hand away, staring down at Wells with what I was shocked to feel waterey eyes. "Wells..?" I said quietly, not believing it and having no more ideas on what to do.

I staring down at Wells dark skin, his eyes were gently shut, his body still. I searched his body for fresh wound marks, maybe Charlotte had already done something..? But I found none. I heard footsteps approaching and was startled to feel arms around me and pulling me away from Wells.

I looked up to see Finn pulling me away. I fought against his hold quickly taking a few steps away from him. "He's dead Clarke.." I told her quietly as the blonde sat beside him.

Clarke didn't want to believe me as she checked his pulse. She hung her head miserably as she realized he was in fact dead. "H-he's gone.." she said quietly as Finn turned his attention to comforting her as he hugged her.

I rolled my eyes at there embrace but stared down at his body. "I can bury him.." Bellamy said as he entered the room. I gave him a small nod of agreement and appreciation. He gave me a nod in return as he and a few of his men wrapped his body in spare tent material before carrying him out.

After he left I wiped the tears out of my eyes and ignored the whispering of Finn and Clarke as I made my way out of the dropship. Almost immediately I ran into Octavia "who were they carrying?"

"Wells..he died from the spear wound" I told her still in shock myself, I let out a sigh "I didn't have a chance to see Atom but I'm sure he's fine.." I reassured her. She nodded quietly but Wells dying didn't seem to affect her much at all.

I was about to walk away, it was overwhelming how much was going on but instead Octavia grabbed my arm "I know you're upset, you can tell me what happened with Finn." She told me softly.

I looked over my shoulder to see her "he betrayed me." I muttered coldly, still pretty upset with Finn. But even with the answer I gave her, she didn't release my arm as she replied.

"And my brother does stupid stuff, it doesn't mean I'm going to hate him, we're blood. He cares about you and you shouldn't take it for granted." Octavia told me.

"He cheated on my sister. My blood. There's no way in hell I'm forgiving him." I replied pulling my arm away from her grasp. She sighed but seemed pretty suprised herself.

"Whose your sister then?" She asked now more softly than her previously aggressive and commanding tone. I sighed, in attempt to calm myself.

"Raven Reyes. She's a zero-G mechanic. Still on the arc." I told her now turning to face her fully "if we can contact the ark she will find a way to come down."

Octavia gave me a smile in return. "I can talk to Monty today and see when it will be ready." She told me before disapearing into the dropship. Either after Monty or Atom, eitherway, it wasn't my concern as I turned and made my way to a tree were I could have some peace and quiet.

The next day I had slept in pretty late. Not many were affected by Wells's death. Mainly Clarke and a few others. But it was different now, with no one to stay loyal to the ark as he did. I had to admit he did have some smart decisions.
