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

I am Become Death - Part 1

They walked around the wreckage of the Exodus ship, finding charred body remains along with burnt metal.

"Clarke shouldn't be out here," Finn said as he looked at her.

"Her mom was on the ship. She's looking for answers. You want to help her? Find me the black box, hard drives, anything that will explain why the ship crashed," Raven instructed.

"Stay sharp," Bellamy told the teens. "Grounder retaliation for what happened on the bridge is coming. Just a matter of when."

"Can you blame them?"

"No, I blame you."

"Maybe if you didn't bring guns-"

"If we didn't bring guns, we all would have been killed," Raven broke up the fight.

"Why they're coming doesn't matter anymore. It's our job to be ready when they do. We're on our own now."

"Bell," Alia stopped him as he went to step. He looked down to see a corpse, black and reduced to bone. He saw the look on her face and placed a gentle hand on the small of her back.

"Clarke, stop!" Raven yelled, getting their attention. Alia followed Raven as they ran up to her.

"Rocket fuel?" Clarke asked of the smelly, dripping fluid.

"Hydrazine," she nodded, squatting down. "Highly unstable in its non solid form. If this stuff meets fire, we're all pink mist. Fire in the hole!" She dipped a rock into the small puddle forming and threw it into some of the flames that still burned, causing a large explosion. "We need to clear the area!"

"Okay, then," Bellamy said, turning around.

"You know you could've just told us that instead of causing a huge explosion, right?" Alia asked her.

She shrugged. "I like things that go boom." Alia shook her head with a smile.

"We move in formation. No straggling, weapons hot. We got to get back before dark," Bellamy instructed as they walked away. "You with me," he pulled Alia to his side.

"What's going on?" Clarke asked as they walked back into camp to see everyone staring at the dropship.

"Murphy's back," Harper told them.

"Really?" Alia asked, a smile coming to her face.

Harper nodded. "He's in there."

"Where is he?" Bellamy asked angrily as they walked inside. The crowd parted and let the three leaders through to where Murphy was leaning against the wall. Alia gasped in relief and fear as she saw the blood that caked his body and his torn clothes. "Everyone but Connor and Derek out. Now!" Bellamy ordered.

"He claims he was with the Grounders," Derek explained as everyone left.

"We caught him trying to sneak back into camp."

"I wasn't sneaking. I was running from the Grounders," Murphy said, the fear evident in his voice.

"Anyone see Grounders?" Bellamy asked. Connor and Derek shook their heads. "Well, in that case..." He raised his gun and pointed it at Murphy.

"Bellamy!" Alia yelled, going to sit with Murphy

Finn pushed the gun down. "Hey! What the hell is wrong with you?" Murphy flinched watching the gun.

"We were clear what would happen if he came back."

"No! If he was with the Grounders, then he knows things that can help us."
