16 | King Roan

I followed close behind Bellamy and Clarke as we made our way out of the tower. Stopping at the base, we looked at the scene in front of us; many were dead, others injured. A lot of the people were crying as well.

"She'll be okay," I heard Clarke say to Bellamy. "Octavia can take care of herself."

I looked at Bellamy, who shook his head. "That's not what I'm worried about."

"She won't be charged," the blonde girl, shaking her head. "Everyone will say that Pike had it coming."

"That because he did," I mumbled quietly under my breath.

"Maybe we all do."

I watched everyone in front of us, licking my lips. "How do we tell these people that the world is ending after everything they've been through?"

I looked at Clarke and Bellamy. "We don't, not until we know Alie was telling Clarke the truth," Bellamy answered.

Still, we keep it to ourselves until we know what we're dealing with and hot to stop it... Damn."

"You're afraid of how people will react," Clarke stated, looking at the boy, who nodded.

"Yes. Besides, I could use a break from keeping you alive," he joked. I smiled, shaking my head. "You gave them back their pain, Clarke. Let's not add to it by telling them they're gonna die in six months." The girl nodded. "Good. Once everyone's down, we go home, we get to work. We didn't survive this long just to let a little radiation take us out."

After a few seconds, Clarke spoke. "Thank you... For keeping me alive."

I was about to make a joke when a woman began wailing loudly. Clarke ran toward her, and Bellamy and me followed. The woman was crouched beside a man, who was dead. Clarke couched beside the man for a moment.

I furrowed my eyebrows as I spoke. "He didn't fall."

The blonde girl looked at Bellamy and me. "He chased me in the City of Light; Lexa killed him."

"Wanheda," the woman said, standing up. The three of us looked at her as she spoke. "Yu did disha."

You did this. Everyone in the area surrounded Clarke, Bellamy, and me, murmuring amongst one another. I followed Clarke as she walked through the people, all murmuring Wanheda. We stopped when we saw Abby and Kane walking toward us.

"Good. You're down," Clarke said. "We have to go. The rover's in the North Woods."

"What about the wounded?" Abby asked.

Bellamy shook his head. "The grounders don't want our help. Our people, we'll treat at Arkadia."

"Hello?" I furrowed my eyebrows as I looked at the radio on Bellamy's belt. That was Raven's voice. "Bellamy, please come in."

Clarke and me followed Bellamy a few feet away from Abby and Kane. The boy grabbed his radio and spoke. "Raven. You okay?"

"Yeah. Yeah. We're all in one piece."

"That's good. There's something we need you to look into."

"First, tell me how my friends are," the girl said. "Did everyone make it? Clarke?"

Clarke took her radio from Bellamy and spoke. "I'm here, thanks to you... Raven, did Alie ever tell you why she created the City of Light?"

"No. Why?"

"The King," I heard a grounder shout. "He's alive! Osir need a fisa!"

We need a healer.

"Clarke?" Raven asked when the blonde girl didn't answer.
