Special Case of Kane

26

"Has he checked in yet?" Clarke asks, she comes in with the grounder known as Ryder, my sword is in hand.

"No." I reply.

"You worried someone's gonna try and take a shot at you in the Ark?" Raven asks, eyeing the grounder.

"Wait outside, Ryder." Clarke says and he listens. "Lexa's orders."

"Whatever, Clarke." Raven sneers.

"He's late." Clarke says. "What if something's happened to him?"

I close my eyes at her words. "He'll be fine." I am reassuring myself as well.

"You've been busy." Clarke says to my friend, and baby's godmother. "Why aren't you focusing on the dam? I told you guys acid fog was our priority."

"Until Bellamy gets eye on the dispersal system, there's only so much we can do." Raven replies.

"Fine. Tell me about the dam." Clarke says. "Can we cut off their power?"

"Maybe." I reply. "We are still playing with a few things."

"How manty of these things have you made?" Clarke asks referring to the Reaper weapons with the loud, high pitched noise.

"Ark Station, do you read me?" Bellamy says after Raven and Clarke talk. "Anybody there?"

"Bellamy, you're late." I scold into the radio. "Every three hours means every three hours."

"Are you through?" Bellamy asks me.

"I'll be right back." Clare says to Raven.

"I thought you were going to Tondc?" Raven says.

"Plans have changed." Clarke says. "I'm staying here."

"The commander's expecting you." I state.

"Our people inside Mount Weather are in trouble." Clarke reminds me. "I'm not going anywhere until I know they're ok."

"And what can you do for them here?" I ask.

"You'll go to Tondc in my place." Clarke says to me. "Lexa seems to respect you. I'll get there as soon as I can."

"Clarke, wait." I plead.

"Please, Skyla, I need you to go to Tondc." Clarke says.

"Fine, I'll go." I sigh. "Raven, let Bellamy know I'm ok."

I go to my tent. I put on some dark pants, a brown t-shirt, Bellamy's leather coat, and some boots.

After securing my sword around my hip, I leave.

"Where's the commander?" Indra asks me, careful not to get too close to me. "Where's Clarke?"

"I don't know." I reply. "Last tome I saw them, they were heading downstairs."

"They're not there now." Indra informs me.

"We should search the woods." I suggest, taking my sword from the table and securing it in it's holster.

"I agree." Indra says.

"I'll tell the others." I say.

"You're brave; that child is lucky." Indra admits before I walk away, I smile smally to myself.

"Oh no." I state.

I scream, knowing what I'm seeing won't end well.
