Can we be Grounders? - Book 1 (Bellamy Blake x OC) (The 100 Season 1)

Twilight's Last Gleaming - Part 1

Bellamy heard voices outside of the tent and opened his eyes.

"Bellamy, get out here!" Octavia called from outside. He got up as carefully as possible, not even worrying about putting on a shirt, and slipped outside of the tent. "There," Octavia pointed to the falling object in the sky.

"They're coming to help us," Mbege said.

"Now we can kick some Grounder ass," Miller cheered.

"Please tell me they brought down some shampoo," one of the girls coming out of Jones' tent said while the other one nodded.

"Bell, what's going on?" Alia asked, pushing through the crowd.

Bellamy looked down as he wrapped an arm around Alia's waist. "I was trying not to wake you," he apologized.

"It's alright. What's happening."

"We just saw a cargo pod coming down from the Ark," he explained and Alia could see he was a little tense.

"If it cleared the ridge, it's probably near the lake," Mbege said to Bellamy as he slipped on his shirt and jacket. Bellamy moved over and looked at the map laying on the desk that Mbege was looking at.

"We should get moving. Everyone's ready," Octavia said, poking her head into the tent.

"No one's going anywhere," Bellamy said. "Not while it's dark. It isn't safe. We'll head out at first light. Pass the word," he ordered Miller and the two others standing in the tent. Bellamy went to go outside, but Octavia stood in front of him.

"Everyone for one hundred miles saw this thing come down. What if the Grounders get to it first?" Bellamy didn't say anything, looking at the ground. "Bell, we should go now."

"I said we wait until sunrise," he said and Octavia sighed, walking back outside.

"I agree with Octavia," Alia said from her place on the bed. "We don't know what's in there. What if the Grounders get their hands on the stuff in there? Stuff we need?"

"It's not safe out there while it's dark. I don't want to take any chances," he said, making his way back over to the bed. "Let's get some more sleep while we can, okay?"

"Okay," Alia surrendered, bringing her legs back up onto the bed and closing her eyes as Bellamy laid down beside her.

The tent flap opened and Alia opened her eyes, sitting up when she saw Clarke and Finn.

"Hey," she said, greeting them as she tried to wake up.

"Where the hell is Bellamy?" Clarke asked.

"Right here," Alia said, turning to look at the other side of the bed, just to find it empty. "He was there when I fell asleep. He said he wanted to get a bit more sleep before we had to go look for the pod."

"Gear's gone," Finn observed.

"Maybe he's outside getting ready?" Alia offered.

"He's not in camp," Clarke informed her.

"What?" Alia asked, standing up. "He left alone?"

"He told everyone to stay," Clarke said, turning to Finn. "Whatever's in that thing, he wants it."

"He doesn't want contact. He wants everyone to think we're dead... Wait," she said, a thought coming to her. "Would there be a radio in the pod?"

"Probably," Clarke said.
