13th Clan

Radio

Clarke POV

"Clarke" Lexa enters my tent. I was standing at a small table with maps that Lexa gave to me. I was trying to learn about the twelve clans and their territory. "Come with me." She walks back out the tent.

I grabbed my small bag and joined her outside. Lexa smirked at me and began leading me out of the village. One of her guards, Gustus if I remember correctly, started to join us but Lexa raised her hand and gave him a stern look. He bowed his head and took a step back. His face showed his worry but he didn't protest her decision.

"Lexa, where are we going?" I asked as we walked through the trees.

"You will see soon."

I did not like surprises and I know I shouldn't trust her but I did. I kept following her. Feeling nervous but excited to see where she is taking me.

After a few minutes we came up to a small opening with a dark blue pond in the center. A creak connected to it and lead back in the trees away from us. "I figured this can give us some privacy while I teach you."

I looked at Lexa confused. "Teach me?"

She smirked. "Yes, Clark. I want to make sure you can defend yourself if you get attacked."

I sighed. "Fine."

"Good. Now I want you to try to hit me." She stood within my range and got into a fighting stance. "Do not worry. I will not hurt you."

I got into a fighting stance and swung my left fist towards Lexa. She easily dodged it and knocked me over. As I laid on the ground, I heard a light laugh. "I thought you weren't going to hurt me." She gave me a stern look as she reach out her hand to help me up.

"Get back in your stance." I did as she said. "Good, now spread your feet to your shoulder width. When I push you, you should not move." She pushed my left shoulder and I held my ground. "Better."

We continued like this until we heard a loud noise coming from the sky. I quickly noticed it was a pod from the Ark. "Lexa, we have to go to the crash site!"

We ran through the trees until we neared the area where the pod crashed. Lexa took the lead as she search for signs of the crash site. When we got there Bellamy was there opening the pod door. "Bellamy." He stopped and looked at me. What was he doing?

"Clarke, you came." Disappointment was heavy in his voice.

"Of course. What's in the pod?" There was a message on loop playing from a radio. I walked around so I can see inside. There is a brunette girl barely older than me and she looks hurt. "Oh, my God!" I climbed into the pod and began to take off her helmet. She hit her head pretty hard and is bleeding but won't need stitches. She began to move, coming slowly to consciousness.

"Clarke, I'm sorry but I need that radio." I turned around to see he had his gun pulled out and aimed at Lexa. "Bellamy?" I climbed back out the pod. I was confused by his actions. I looked at Lexa and she was tensed up ready to attack. I stepped between her and Bellamy. I know she will kill him if given the chance. "Why are you doing this?"

"If the Ark finds out we're alive, they'll come down. And when they do...I'm dead." He slowly moves to the pod door while keeping an eye on us.

"What did you do?"

"I did this for Octavia! To protect her." He was within reach of the radio. When he turned to reach for it, the girl hit him on the head with her helmet. She hit him hard enough to knock him out.

She climbed out of the pod and when her feet touched the ground her eyes glint with excitement. "I made it?" I nodded to her. She began to spin around while looking up. "Welcome home." I said as Lexa and I watched her for a moment. "How did you get here?"

"I rebuilt this. It just needed a couple parts and some love." She staggered a little.

I made her sit on a rock and handed her a rag from my bag. She placed it on her head. I looked over to Lexa who was tying Bellamy up. "I'm Clarke."

"Clarke? This was all because of your mom." She stood back up.

"My mom?"

"This was all her plan. We were trying to come down here together. If we waited-- Oh, my God. We couldn't wait because the council was voting whether to kill three hundred people to save air." She ran to the pod and grabbed the radio.

"This is Raven Reyes. Calling Ark Station. Come in Ark Station. This is Raven Reyes. Calling Ark Station. Please come in. Can anybody hear me?"

"Raven? Are you there?"

"Mom? Mom, it's me." I grabbed the radio from Raven.

"Clarke?"
