Love & War

Inside Man

Clarke POV

It has been days since I saw Bellamy. Lexa has me training warriors, having me stand with her in meetings. At night I am exhausted. So exhausted that by the time I find my bed I fall to sleep instantly. 

I run towards the area where he is waiting. I sent word that I was coming but Lexa had a meeting that ran longer then I thought. I get to the spot to see them gone. He left without saying goodbye. I stare at the forest. Looking for any sign they are close but I know they are long gone.

I look behind me to see no one watching. I walk into the forest, tracking them. I find the path they went. I see the mountain up ahead. I run towards them, stopping when I see them below me. Bellamy turns looking up at me. I smile, staring down at him.

I do not know what to say or if I should say anything. He smiles before calling out to me.

"May we meet again." I nod, not understanding his words but I know it is a phrase they use. I turn walking away, hoping that he achieves what we all want.

I get back to the village to find the sky people leaving. 

"Are you coming with us?" I turn to see my mom walking up to me.

"Am I welcome?" I ask.

"You are." Marcus says walking up behind her. "I spoke to Lexa. She wants you to help train our people." I nod smiling. I soon grab my stuff, walking back to their camp. 

We are riding back to camp. My mom and I keep looking at each other, smiling. I look forward when I see someone in the tree's. I turn looking at Indra. She nods, getting off her horse, Octavia following her. I look forward, about to continue on when a bullet flies past me, hitting a warrior behind me. 

I look forward to see Indra taking care of the one mountain man while Octavia fights with the other. She rips off his suit but I realize that he could give us an advantage. I jump off my horse, running towards them.

"Stop." They look at me. "I have an idea." They look at each other before nodding. We soon get the suit back on him, patching it up. As we are looking for a the kit, Octavia pulls out a picture of me and Lexa.

I take it from them, staring at it. Anger rises inside me. they where watching us. They know where we have been. We tie him up once his suit is patched up. We learn along the way that is name is Carl Emerson. 

We get back to camp, putting Emerson in his makeshift cell. We seal it so he can breathe probably, without his suit. Allows us to fix it probably if we release him. Emerson is put under guard. They are scared something will happen to him. I walk into the med room to find mom looking down at the grounder that had been shot.

She looks up at me, shaking her head. Indra walks over to him, cutting a braid from his hair. 

"Yu gonplei ste odon." She says walking out.

"Yu gonplei ste odon." I mumble looking down before walking out of the room. I walk down the hallway towards the room Raven has set up in. She is working on some stuff as I walk in.

"Any word?" I ask.

"Not yet." I nod, feeling disappointed. She looks up at me, setting down her work. "He'll radio." I nod again, trying not to worry.

"Has Bellamy radioed?" We turn to see Octavia coming in. 

"Not yet." I say. 

"Lincoln's still missing." She says. I walk towards her.

"Bellamy will radio and we'll find Lincoln." She nods.

"Clarke you're needed at the airlock." I hear over the announcement system they have here. I walk out of the room finding Marcus coming up beside me. We get to the airlock to find Emerson. I find mom there waiting for us.
