Clarke POV

I moan, holding my head as I open my eyes. I look around to see I am in the bunker, the office. I push myself up when I see Bellamy lying beside me. I crawl over to him, putting my hand on his head. He opens his eyes staring at me.

"Clarke?" He slowly sits up looking around. "What's going on?"

"I don't know." We turn as the door opens. Jaha and my mom walk in. She walks over, kneeling beside me. "What's going on?" I ask. "Did Octavia win?"

"We don't know." She says.

"What do you mean?" Bellamy stands up. I stand up, my still holding my hands. I stare into her face. "What the hell did you do?" I look at him and then at my mom and Jaha.

"If only one clan could survive, it might as well be ours." Jaha says.

"You agreed to this?" I look at my mom.

"It was the only way to save you." Tears fill her eyes. "You and I are not Skaikru."

"You are but I am not." I say. "People I care about are dying out there."

"If we don't do this then we will all die. The grounders will kick us out." Jaha steps up beside her.

"Maybe they should." I feel Bellamy's glare behind me.

"I can't." I leave to find a place alone. As I'm leaving I hear Bellamy yelling. I turn around to see him coming out of the office, unconscious. I look at Jaha as he leads the guards to a place to put him till Praimfaya is here. 

I find a room, wondering if this is right. I place my hand on my stomach. Maybe I should tell him. I get to where he is being kept. I find the door open. I look around and thats when I know. He's going to the door. I race out of there towards the door. I find a gun, hoping to stop him. 

"Bellamy stop!" He is almost at the door when I yell at him. He turns looking at me.

"We don't have time for this. People are dying up there." He goes to the door but I shoot, missing his head. "Clarke, what are you doing? Those are your people." I hear his words but all I think about is this life inside me. That this is how I can protect it.

"What I have to." I say, gun pointed at him. "Now get away from the door."

"No. This isn't like pulling the switch a mount weather or taking down the city of light. We knew what we were up against." He looks at the door before looking back at me. "Now we know nothing."

"We know if the door remains closed the human race survives." I put my hand to my stomach. He looks at it and then at me. Without saying it I've told him. "Please." I whisper.

"You're going to have to make it a kill shot. That's the only way you're stopping me." I stare at him seeing that he doesn't care. He wants to save as many people as he can. This is why I love him. My hand shakes and I finally lower the gun, tears falling. He turns walking up the stairs to open the door. I fall to the ground, crying. 

After a while he comes back down with the others. He picks me up, holding me close to him as I sob. I tell him 'I'm sorry.' Over and over. He just rubs my back, not saying anything. He walks into the office, sitting on the couch as the others come in.

Once I have calmed down, I move off his lap to look at the others. Kane tells us the plan. That Octavia won and decided to share with everyone. 100 spots for each clan. 

Raven radios that she wants to come back. That she's decided to live. Bellamy says he wants to go and get her. I volunteer to go too. He looks at me worried but agree's. 

We are getting ready when my mom comes in. I turn to her, not sure what to say.

"You did the right thing." She says rubbing my arms.

"Did I?" She nods. 

"I love you." She pulls me against her. "Always remember that." I pull back.

"This isn't goodbye." She nods before looking at Bellamy.

"Take care of each other." She asks him.

"Yes, ma'am." I smile hugging her one last time before letting her go. As she leave Murphy and Emori come in. They want to come with us. They believe that they will not be accepted into the bunker. We agree, letting them come.

We are driving in the truck. I keep feeling Bellamy's eyes on me. I look at him to see him glancing away.

"I'm sorry." I say looking back at the road.

"I know." He says, no emotion. 

"I never wanted any of that to happen." Tears fill my eyes. "It always seems that whatever I do, people get hurt."

"Hey." I look at him. "Not shooting me, was the right choice." He smiles at me and I smile back when I see someone standing in the middle of the road.

"Watch out!" He swerves the truck, trying to avoid the man but ends up hitting the truck. We get out only to be ambushed by grounders. They knock me down. I look over to see Bellamy fighting off one. I am about to kick the grounder when an arrow hits him. He falls over dead. I look to see someone shooting at the grounders. 

Once they are dead they move towards us. They remove the cloth around their neck nd I step back to see Echo. Octavia had told us she had been banished. Bellamy told me before Roan died she was banished. I still haven't thought about that. 

When Octavia came down into the bunker I knew that Roan was dead. She had told me Luna killed him. I do not know how I feel. He was my family. I looked up to him for so many years. 

We are walking to where we will meet Monty. He called to us telling us he was on his way. We stop when Emori's suit has a tare. Murphy demands that Echo give her suit to Emori. They argue as I stand there. I have nightblood. I could give my suit to Emori.

I take my helmet off and Bellamy looks at me.

"Clarke! What are you doing?" Bellamy asks me.

"I have nightblood." I say.

"Untested nightblood." 

"We're testing it now." I argue. He looks at me as Murphy takes the helmet from me. We are standing there. They watch me when I feel sick. I lean over throwing up blood. He walks up to me, putting his hand on my back as I stand up. I look up at him as he takes the radio out. 

"Monty." He says into the radio. "Drive fast."
