Lone Wolf

Crossed Paths

Months go by without another incident. Not one report about a barrier breach. The only thing wrong happening within the walls is bickering among the delinquents, and an occasional fight breaking out here and there. Matters of petty concern and teenage drama were the only real problems Bellamy had to deal with. As much as it was easy to handle, it was rather boring. The only out of place event was the light show up in space. It was a funeral from the Ark. Hundreds of lights floating in space. There must have been a calling for people to do in order to save oxygen. Some people will need to go into cryo but there were limited pods on the ark. Only a few hundred could go into pods. All Bellamy could hope was that they fixed the oxygen system soon. Not everyone on the Ark was guilty of hate crimes, or being unfair in the class system. 

But that wasn't his problem anymore. Bellamy Blake wasn't in space in the Ark, he was on the ground. On Earth. He has people looking to him for leadership and guidance. They are his responsibility now.

Winter turns to spring and its hunting time again, meat rations almost gone. A hunting part is issues to start, but before they can go grounders appear at the gate. One in particular catches Bellamy's eye- Lexa. 

The guards look to him for orders and he tells them to open the gate. When they do, Lexa nods her head to them before walking into camp, turning her heels to face Bellamy. This was not at all what he expected to happen today. 

"Is there a problem, Commander?" He finds his voice, somehow keeping it clear and leveled. 

"Not at all, Bellamy of the sky people. Or do you prefer Skaiheda?" He looks at her surprised, as if she's just grown a second head. 

"Uh... Bellamy's fine." She nods at this while her eyes scan over his camp, as if searching for something. He notices this and tenses. "Is there something we can help you with, Commander?"

"Nothing in particular." She says while now walking. Bellamy keeps an eye roll to himself as he follows her gesturing to give her a tour around.

This was strange and very unexpected. The Commander doesn't just show up announced in a clan and start walking around. Does she? Bellamy has no idea but she's never done it to their camp before. Not even when the treaty was made. So what could she really be doing here? There were no breaches in the lands, no fights or bodies dropped between skaikru or the other clans. There was no threat from what he remembered. No one seemed to be a threat. At least Bellamy thought. 

He thinks back to the meeting he had with Lexa and the other delegates, as well as the new man from the unknown clan. Natkru. Even though its been months since the meeting, Bellamy didn't think twice about the strange grounder. That is until now.

"This wouldn't have to do with the grounder from the meeting by any chance would it?" 

Lexa comes to a halt and looks at Bellamy with a tilt to her head, her expression unreadable. "You're clever, Bellamy. I'll give you that." She continues on by his side but doesn't say anymore. 

"So... I take that as a yes?" She sighs and stops again, this time turning to face him. 

"Yes. It does. The 'grounder' you speak of is called Christian. He comes from a hidden clan deep within the woods near the caves and mountains."

"Natkru." She nods in confirmation, impressed with his memory.

"Yes. Natkru. This clan has... shall we say kept its distance for many reasons. Their sudden reappearance is no coincidence. They stay hidden away during the winter season but resurface in the spring." As she explains this Bellamy thinks back to what Christian had been so riled up about. Someone called Wanheda. "I believe he may be a threat to your people in the coming of days. Therefore I am here to warn you and offer a deal."
