Something You Fight For

Episode: 40

It had been six hours since Clarke went missing, ten since Bellamy had.
Octavia sat on Bellamy's bedroom floor, running her hands through the silky coat of Pearly, Bellamy's dog. She had been waiting patiently for him to return from Ash's but Octavia feared that may never come.

"I should have stayed at the hospital." Raven argued, stress and anxiety streaming through her veins. Neither of the girls had slept and the sun was beginning to rise. Police pooled in and out of the house and yet, the girls felt so alone.

"No, it's my fault I.. I shouldn't have asked you to come with me.."

"You were tired, Octavia.. it isn't your fault.." raven reassured her, but the words didn't help, for all she knew her best friend and brother had been killed.

"Any news yet?" The familiar voice of Finn Called, dusting off as he entered Bellamy's room.

"Oh, Finn.." Raven muttered, tears now streaming down her face as she went to him, pulling him into a tight hug. He hugged her back, letting her sob lightly as he waited for Octavia's answer.

"No" she responded. "The investigation is still pending but they have no leads.."

"What about Ash? He was living with her.." Finn asked, Raven sniffing and pulling away, looking to Octavia for her response.

"Apparently they asked already.. she has an alibi.." Octavia Called, sighing. "This isn't fair.."

"Life never is.." Finn sighed, looking away from Raven for a moment, "but we can't give up.. for all we know they're alive and running out of time. We need to do something" Finn stated, unaware of how true his words were.

"But the police said if we interfere with the investigation we would be charged?" Asked Raven, for confirmation.

"That's true but they didn't say anything about looking?" Raven asked, but Octavia already gave up hope.

"I don't know.. I think im going to take Pearly for a walk.." Octavia sighed, all she wanted was to hug Bellamy again, otherwise she felt numb.

"Do you want me to come with you?" Asked Raven, Finn nodding.

"No, I.. I want to do this alone." Octavia sighed, pulling to her feet as she weakly smiled at her friends.

Clarke was awoken by a vibration at her feet.

Her phone

Her Brian snapped awake as she dug into her show, retreating her phone. She immediately saw it was her mother calling her. She answered, shaking Bellamy.

"Mom? Mom is that you?" She muttered, hope in her eyes.
Static came through the other side, followed by a glitching tone, "cla- arke?" The phone sputtered, hope filled her body as she went to talk again, but a beeping crossed her phone.
Shock and awe, she pulled it from her face to notice the battery had died.
"No.. no, no, no, no, no!" She yelled, throwing her phone at the wall.

"Sorry Clarke.." Bellamy weakly huffed. "You typically don't get good reception down here.."

"Down here? You know where we are?" She asked, swatting away tears as she looked to his worn down face, his skin was ghostly pale, bags under his eyes as his lips began to darken. He nodded slowly, weakly as his hand slid into hers.
