Love & War

March

Clarke POV

I stare at Bellamy as they hold me. He looks up at me as Indra holds her sword over his chest. I can see what he's thinking. Tears fall down my cheek. Indra raises her sword as Bellamy closes his eyes, accepting this. 

Monty and Harper storm into the lower pit carrying a tree. Telling us that it worked. Using his algae has brought the farm back. The warriors let me go. I run down to him. Bellamy stands up staring at Monty. He turns as I rush in grabbing me.

"I'm so sorry." I whisper.

"Me too." He kisses my cheek, holding me closer. We break apart turning to look at Monty. Bellamy looks up, I follow his gaze to see Octavia gone.

"Where is she?" We run up and into her room. "We have to find her."

"Why?" Monty asks. "She didn't shoot us, right?"

"She lost the battle. Not the war." Indra says as an alarm goes off.

"Fire alarm?" Harper looks up. We rush out of the room to see warriors running out of the bunker.

"The farm." Monty says. We follow him. We get to the farm to see it burning. "No!" Monty cries as he gets close. "What did you do?" I stare at her. 

"Took away the choice." I look at Indra and then her.

"You still have one. You can stay here and die or march with me and live." Octavia says before walking pass us. I look up at Bellamy. 

We leave the burning farm to find Madi. We search everywhere till we get outside. Miller has her with Jackson. They bring her to me. I pick her up holding her close. She shakes in my arms, scared.

"Shh. It's okay." I rub her back. She calms down, holding onto me. I turn looking at Bellamy over her head.

"What do we do now?" I ask.

"Do you still have the rover?" I shake my head.

"When I got back here warriors fired at it, destroying it. I ran away from them to you."

"Then we march." I nod. He takes Madi from me. "I'll hold her." I nod as she wraps her arms around his neck. I pick up a back pack. I look at him before following Wonkru out of Polis. I turn looking at the destroyed buildings. I feel like this will be the last time I see this place.

The Valley

McCreary is now in charge. Diyoza betrayed him. He stares at the picture on the screen. They are still in Polis. But he soon notices that it's on a loop. He has someone take it down and he soon finds out that the army is not there. They are gone. 

He soon has his people on high alert. They patrol the gorge and other areas where they could come in. They will not get pass his guns. They have no clue that they are walking into a trap.

Echo stands by a wall watching them. She needs to let the others know. Let Bellamy know that it is trap. She runs back to the cave where Kane and the others are hiding. She tells them what she heard. They soon use the radio's to tell Bellamy. 

"Bellamy, Come in taim yu can hear me?" Echo says into the radio.

Clarke POV

We are marching along when Bellamy's radio goes off.

"Bellamy, Come in taim yu can hear me?" I hear Echo call.

"Echo..."

"Wait." I grab his arm. He looks at me. Madi is sleeping on his back in a sling we made. "She's speaking in trigedasleng. It has to be for a reason." I say not surprised that she taught them on the ark. Harper looks at me, concerned. He nods switching to trig.

"Why laik yu speaking trig? Chit's wrong?" He asks.

"Emo know yu laik coming. Yu've lost the element gon surprised." Echo says. I look up at him. He stares at me before talking to her again. 

"They know we're coming." Bellamy says. I look at Madi, concerned that we will all die. 

"How?" I ask. "How would they know?"

"I don't know." Bellamy shakes his head. 

"Bellamy, yu don kom listen kom me. Yu need kom go back. Osir don their pilot gon nau, so yu're klir. Ba yu can't come hir." 

"Nou possible. Em's a long story ba osir can't go back en osir can't nou." Bellamy looks at me. I see Madi stirring behind him. I walk around him taking her off him. I hold her as he talks to Echo. "Osir're fai days out. Yu don bilaik long kom find a klir way in. Pas bilaik..." He looks at Madi and me. I kiss her head praying we'll find a way in. "Osir run out gon rations."

"We're on it. Be safe." She says. "Over and out." The radio goes silence. I stare at him, rubbing Madi's head. 

I watch Bellamy march up to Octavia. I hope he can convince her that this is a suicided mission. I walk beside Monty and Harper. Madi walks little bit, holding my hand. Sometimes she skips ahead, walking up a slope and sliding down. She trying to find fun in this. I smile watching her. 

Bellamy come's back, frustrated. I know the talk with her didn't go the way he wanted it too. Night falls and we set up tents. Bellamy and I share a tent with Madi. Bellamy went to talk to Octavia about the fight tomorrow. He received more word from Echo. 

Madi falls asleep on my bed but I can barely sleep. I watch her, praying that everything will be alright. 

I get up walking out to see Bellamy sitting by the fire. I walk over sitting beside him. He wraps his arm around me, pulling me into him. I put my head on his shoulder, staring at the fire.

"How did it go with Octavia?" He says, rubbing 

"Alright. She listen to me and is talking to Indra."

"That's good." I sigh. 

"Bellamy." We turn to see Monty standing behind him. He sits down on the other side of Bellamy. I lean my head back on his shoulder. Bellamy is looking at him. "The last of the rations." I lift my head to see him handing him and me a ration. I look at it and then at the tent. Bellamy does the same.

"She needs it more than us." He says. I look at him. He goes to put his away but I stop him.

"You eat yours. You'll be fighting, I won't. You need the strength." He nods as I put mine away. Save it for tomorrow. He eats his, looking at the fire. 

"Do you want us their at the front?" Monty asks. 

"No." Bellamy shakes his head. "I got this." He looks at me, smiling. "You stay, we're leaving the tents here." He looks at me. "I told Octavia we are taking 80 acres on the east side of the valley." I nod, smiling. "Grow something other than algae." He looks at Monty. He laughs and I smile. I wrap my arm in his, glad that we can find some joy in this. Monty leaves us to go find Harper.

"Clarke if I die..."

"Don't say that." He faces me, grabbing my face. 

"For once listen to me." I nod, tears forming in my eyes. "I may not come back. I will try to but I want you to know that I love you. I always have and always will." He kisses me. I grab his shoulder holding onto him as the kiss deepens. I pull back staring into his eyes.

"What about Echo?" I ask.

"If we live tomorrow I'll worry about that then." I smile nodding. We get up walking to the tent. Madi is still asleep when we walk in. I lie down beside her and Bellamy lies beside me. He drapes his arm over us, holding us close to him. We all asleep in each others arms. Forgetting what is happening tomorrow.
