Everybody from the Ark had all gather around, waiting anxiously to see if the news was true, if the grounders were coming.

A guard opens a large door as everybody's heads turn to see Abby Griffin walk out. The crowd instantly silences as Jaha follows after her.

"chancellor"

"by now you've all heard the rumor and unfortunately it's true. The grounders are coming" Abby announces to the crowd as i silently stand next to Finn "we have a difficult decision to make. Thankfully Chancellor Jaha has found his way back to us and we're discussing all options"

Quiet chattering falls over everyone as Jaha includes his two sense to calm everyone "but to be safe, you need to pack, now. What ever you can carry. We may need to leave at a moments notice"

"where would we go?" someone questions from the crowd as Jaha answers back truthfully "i don't know, is the answer but i heard of a place. A city of light, its across the dead zone"

"what makes you think we'll make it there?"

"because we made it here, i have faith and right now, given the alternative that's good enough for me" Jaha confidently states as some people begin to nod their heads in agreement.

"not for us" Clarke announces as she moves forward before i have the chance to pull her back as people start to whisper "if we leave, what happens to our people in mount weather"

"as your mother said, that is a very difficult decision to make. But the time has come for each and every one of us to ask, is this how the story of our people ends. Did we come all this way, just to die tomorrow? because if we're not gone by the time that sun rises, that is exactly what will happen" Jaha yells out as Clarke looks defeated as everyone starts agreeing.

I move forward and stand next to Clarke, i hope she knows what i'm about to do isn't for her, but for our people "we've tried running from a grounder army before, we'll just get picked off one by one and even if we do manage to leave, our people in Mount weather die, your sons and daughters would die. if Wells was still alive, i know you would be doing everything you could to get him out but then again, you did send him down here to his death so maybe not"

Anger and sadness twists on Jaha's face at the mention of his son's death but before he can spit something back, Mamma Griffin comes in and stops it "no decisions been made. In the mean time, please report to your station supervisor and gather emergency supplies"

Everyone starts leaving as Clarke turns to me with a smile smile "thanks for taking my side"

"i didn't do it for you" i harshly tell her as i go to walk away but a very familiar hand grabs my wrist and pulls me back.

"nice of you to join us Bellamy" i greet as i turn around to face him.

"where have you been?" Clarke questions as she stands next to me and Finn comes up from behind Bellamy.

"in the drop ship, you need to come with me" Bellamy tells us urgently.

"what's happened?"

"i'll explain on the way, bring a med kit, meet me at Raven's gate" Bellamy states as he goes off and i follow, not knowing where Ravens gate is and not wanting to be alone with Clarke.

We get to a secluded part of the fence as Bellamy seems to finally notice i'm following behind him.

He scoffs as he leans against one of the poles of the fence. i let out a frustrated sigh as i step in front of his line of vision "you better get over your problem with me or else we'll never be able to get anything done"
