Unanswered Questions

After witnessing the gruesome crash, Madi, Clarke, Lincoln, and Bellamy head back to camp immediately; staying alert to any danger as they pass through the forest. Everyone of Skaikru saw the crash, and it was safe to say every grounder for a hundred miles saw it as well. Skaikru needed to check the wreckage out for survivors and supplies, anything they could find. As well as discover answers as to why the ship mysteriously crashed. For weeks they had been in contact with the Ark, planning on them coming to the ground, but on unity day the coms cut off and the delinquents haven't heard from the sky since then. The Exodus ship coming down was a shock but to be expected; just not the horrific landing. 

A group goes out to check the wreckage and they reach the sight by morning. Clarke, Bellamy, Lincoln, Raven, Finn, Monty, Miller, and Octavia all walk in silence and are stunned at the sight. Burned bodies and remains splayed around the area as the shrapnel and waste of metal was scattered around. They destroyed nearly a hundred trees near by, the trunks and leaves forced back or burnt to ash.

"What the hell happened here?" Clarke mumbles to herself, nearly speechless at the sight before her. There was nothing, no one, left.

"Look around for anything useful! Monty, help me find out what happened. Black box, anything." Monty nods at Raven's order as the others scatter the terrain. Leaving Lincoln and Clarke to stay back.

"I don't even know what to say." Lincoln mumbles, and Clarke glances up his way.

"These were there people, and now they're gone."

"We all know what that's like." Clarke sighs at this and dunks her head down. He was right. They've all lost so much over time, and for the sky people it was only the beginning.

"Skaikru isn't the only clan to have seen the ship crash." She states, and Lincoln understands immediately. He clenches his jaw and looks at the surrounding trees, luckily there was nothing. "No ones here yet. I don't sense them."

"Good. Then they still have time." Clarke give shim a pointed look and Lincoln looks away. They may have had time but it wasn't long.

For the few moments they stand there Bellamy comes their way. He asks Clarke if she was okay, given her worried expression, and without conviction she explains the trouble they could run into if they stay for too long. The other clans no doubt saw the crash, as well as Natkru. The other clans may be negotiable but Christian and the others won't be. It's best to say Clarke and Madi are not safe at the moment. Particular Clarke whom is outside of the walls.

"We aren't the only ones that saw this come down from the sky. More will come looking for answers. I can't be here." Bellamy instantly understands. He glances at Lincoln and both men nod.

"We shouldn't be too much longer." Bellamy says, stepping closer to the two grounders. "And you don't have to worry. You're not alone out here anymore. I-we will keep you safe." He stutters over his words in the end and it takes all Clarke has not to grin at him. Instead she nods and looks over at the others as they scavenge for answers.

Within less than an hour Raven makes an announcement for them to leave, but Monty and the others wish to stay.  They need to know what happened here. Monty grabs the small black box and everything else he had found as he follows the others. They may have found what they needed but it wouldn't hold all of the answers.

"We don't have a choice. This whole place is a ticking time bomb." To put emphasis on her statement she take a rock and dips the tip in rocket fuel, then tosses it afar, leaving a small explosion to get off. "It's not safe here. We have to clear the area."

Both Clarke and Lincoln jump further in the distance, shocked by the explosion from such a small object. The sky people and their advanced weaponry were more than the grounders could have thought. But still, with the threat outside they still don't stand too much of a chance. Clarke was right; they needed to leave before others arrived.
