Warrior ‣ Bellamy Blake

Forty-Two

It's not like I need to be any busier than I am, but I'm wondering if you guys would like a prequel story that isn't exactly a prequel because it wouldn't follow Aella's story. It would be a Lexa fanfic about her relationship with Costia created by me. It would be a shorter story on my page, but if you guys really want it (I kind of really want to write it because I love Lexa) I'll work on it.

Lemme know.

Also, this is a little short. 

BOLD = Trigedasleng (wow who knew?)

As much as Aella wanted him to stay behind with the others, Archer refused to leave her side and that was how he ended up sleeping on Aella's lap with his arms wrapped around her neck as they ventured to unknown lands.

"It's been an hour since we passed the airplane wreckage," Jasper murmured. "Seeing as we're using a map without any distances, it could be days before we reach that village."

"At least we know we're going in the right direction," Bellamy replied from the driver's seat, Clarke by his side holding the Flame in her hands.

"We're running out of daylight. We should stop so the sun can recharge the battery."

"What sun?" Clarke asked, looking out the window to only see the dismal gray sky with no ray of sunshine in sight. "We keep going until it dies."

"We keep going until we get to Luna," Octavia chimed in.

"Is this her?" Jasper asked Octavia, holding up a very detailed drawing of a pretty Grounder.

"Yes," Octavia confirmed.

"What do you think she's gonna say when we show up asking her to put an A.I. in her head?"

"Lincoln said she helps those that are in trouble. She'll help us, too."

"We shouldn't have to say anything," Aella interjected. "We should put the damn thing in me and call it a day."

"It's not worth the risk," Bellamy argued. "We don't even know if your blood is the same."

"Bekka Pramheda wasn't born with the blood, but I was and Lexa was, too. She was convinced we were the same or something. She had the damn A.I. in her head and she was convinced that I could be a threat. That means something."

"It means nothing without adequate testing to see how your blood would react to it. We saw Emerson go down."

"This is if we can even get this girl to agree to the plan, Bellamy. Maybe she wants nothing to do with it after the Conclave. Lexa was young when she ascended, so killing at a young age...taking a life would be so hard. Maybe that's why she helps people: to atone."

"We're not arguing about-" His sentence was cut off short when he jerked the rover to a stop, a branch blocking their path.

"Think she can help us find a better map?" Jasper asked.

"We'll backtrack," Bellamy decided. "Somewhere where the trees aren't so bad."

Octavia chose to completely disregard his advice and jump out the back door.

"Guess we're going on foot," Clarke decided instead, hopping out and grabbing her supplies. Aella woke up Archer.

"Where are we going?" he asked.

"To see someone who might help us," Aella answered before smiling at his pouty face. "You tired, handsome?"

He nodded tiredly and she chuckled, helping him out of the rover before grabbing her stuff and hopping out herself. The group was already trekking ahead and Archer would be too slow, so Aella decided to give him a piggyback ride to the village.
