Love & War

1000 Cuts

The next day Bellamy convinces me to get Finn away. To their drop ship. He said him and the others will bring supplies. I stand at the fence, waiting for Raven to turn it off. Bellamy stands beside me, holding me.

"I wish I could come with you." He says, looking down at me. I rap my arms around his neck. All night we held each other. The only thing we have not done is kiss. I do not know if I am ready. I know that once we do, everything will change. 

"I know these woods. I will lead him away from them." He nods looking over as Finn and Raven come over.

"Is it done?" He asks.

"In a moment." She holds out her radio. "Okay, now." She brings a stick to the fence and we see that it's not longer on. It won't electrocute us. I look back at Bellamy before letting go. Finn crawls through smiling at Raven. I go through with Bellamy's help. Once on the other side I look at him before turning to walk into the woods.

Finn and I walk through the woods in silence. I hope he doesn't ask me about Bellamy. I have never talked about my feelings for people. Only my father knew them and he is dead. We walk down a small hill when someone jumps down from the tree. 

I fall to the ground, rolling. I watch as he tries to grab Finn. I take out my sword, ready to cut him down when he turns pushing me hard. I stumbling falling back. My head hits the ground, hitting a rock. I stare up as darkness takes over me.

Bellamy POV

We leave after getting everything we need. Raven, Murphy and I walk to the drop ship, looking over our shoulder. Keeping an eye out for grounders. We get to the drop ship without seeing anyone. 

We set down the supplies inside the ship, waiting for them to come. I am unpacking a bag when Finn comes in carrying Clarke. I run over to him, taking her from him.

"What happened?" I ask. 

"Grounder, knocked her down, she hit her head." Finn says.

"Put her over here." I say as he lies her down. "We need a bandage." I say looking at her head. Murphy moves to a bag. Finn stands up walking towards the other side of the room. Murphy comes back putting the bandage on her head. 

"Clarke." I call to her. "Can you hear me?" I position myself to look down at her face. I smooth my hand over her cheek. She stirs in my hand. I smile as her eyes open a little. "You're going to be fine. Just need to rest." I reassure her. 

"Hey." I hear Raven walk towards Finn. "It's just a bump on the head. She will be fine."

"She was helping me and I let that grounder hurt her."

"It's not your fault." I look over at them seeing their interaction. "We'll figure this out."

"She wanted to help and I almost got her killed." Finn storms out of the ship. I look at Raven, she soon follows him out of the ship. I look at Murphy before looking back at Clarke. 

"What happened?" She opens her eyes looking around. She starts to sit up but winces, putting her hand to her head.

"You were attacked." She looks at me and then at Finn as he walks in.

"I remember." She says looking at me before looking at Finn. She goes to stand up. I leave my hands out, ready to catch her. She tumbles and I grab her but she assures me that she is alright. 

"I'm sorry, Clarke." Finn says looking at her.

"I knew the risk when I helped you. I am use to it." She smiles at him.

"Hey guys." Raven comes in. "We have company." We follow her looking out. I see Clarke looking around.

"They're here." She says. I walk over to the bags grabbing the guns. I hand one to everyone. I walk to Clarke holding one out to her.
