Special Case of Kane

08

"This is Raven Reyes. Calling Ark Station." Raven says and she becomes desperate, she is worried about her friend. "Come in Ark Station. This is Raven Reyes. Calling Ark Station. Please, come in."

"Are you sure you have the right frequency?" A female delinquent asks.

"Yes, I'm sure." Raven replies forcefully.

"You can do this." Clarke encourages the girlfriend of the guy she likes.

"Calling Ark Station." Raven says again after forcing herself to look away from Skyla Kane. "Please come in. I'm on the ground with the hundred. We need you."

"This is a restricted line." A man says over the radio, catching them by surprise. "Who is this? Please identify yourself."

"This is Raven Reyes." Raven responds. "I....I'm from Mecha Station. I'm transmitting from the ground. The hundred are alive. Please, you need to get Doctor Abby Griffin. Doctor Abby Griffin. Now."

"Hang on, Raven, we're trying to boost your signal." Sinclair says.

"Raven..." Abby's voice says over the radio. "Raven, you there?"

"Mom?" Clarke speaks. "Mom, it's me."

"Clarke?" Abby asks, relieved she's alive.

Bellamy walks in as they drag the grounder to the upper level, he stops when he sees Skyla on the table looking very pale and sweaty.

Skyla Kane.

"She's waking up." Raven cries as my eyes pop open, the pain from the stab wound almost unbearable..

"Hold her still." Clarke demands as my brunette friend holds me still. "I'm going to remove that knife, ok?"

"Sounds good," I barely manage to spit out.

"Skyla, you can't move, got it?" Clarke demands.

"Clarke." I manage to hear Abby speak on the radio.

"Hold still." Clarke demands as I struggle against the raging pain. "I almost got it... Skyla, hold still."

Suddenly there's a jolt, then Clarke and the knife are on the ground.

"Clarke! Clarke!" I hear Abby again. "What's happening? Clarke, can you hear us? Clarke!"

"She got it." Raven says, relieved. "It's out."

Clarke leaves to go to the upper level.

"Was that a nightmare or was I stabbed?" I choke.

Raven chuckles before my body tenses, and my vision turns black. The last thing I hear is Raven telling Clarke that I'm seizing before silence....

***

When my eyes slowly blink open. I'm greeted by Clarke.

"Hey." I whisper.

"Hey." Clarke smiles as she sits by me.

"Good save." I wink.

We look beside me, and notice Jasper sleeping soundly.

"It wasn't just me, Raven helped me." Clarke admits. "Jasper.... He hasn't left your side since you seized on us, when we realized the blade was poisoned." She shakes Jasper. "Jasper. She's awake."

Clarke walks out.

Jasper sits on my bed and he touches my cheek. "Don't scare me like that again; when Clarke said you seized, I panicked. I thought you were dead. But I have to go."

I nod, understanding..... He doesn't want to be around a killer. Bellamy walks in when Jasper leaves.

Bellamy sits by my body and he places a gentle kiss on my forehead. "According to the word around camp, we're a couple."

"Is that a bad thing?" I ask weakly.

Bellamy helps me get a drink of water. "No. I am glad we are together. You are staying in my tent until you're all better."

My hand rests on his cheek and he gently kisses me on the lips. This guy is amazing....
