The Secret Grounder

Chapter 7- The Defence Plan

"So, do you want to explain yourself? Or should i say something to Clarke?" Octavia says from the doorway, i slump down into my bed patting the space next to me.
"I'll explain." I sigh, and so i explain everything to Octavia. Everything to do with the ice nation, the king, Echo, the guns. I left nothing to chance. I even lifted up my hair and showed her the dye, after that she realised my true intentions of joining Azgeda. She offered to dye the white parts of my hair with some berries she found in the woods, and of course i said yes. Myself and Octavia made our way into her tent where she kept the box of berries, she squashed them into a juice and then parted my hair. About an hour later the entire underside of my hair was a dark maroon colour, due to the already dark nature of my hair.

I pulled my hair up into a ponytail and thanked Octavia before walking ouf of her tent. I made my way into the drop ship where im guessing both Bellamy and Clarke might be. Turns out i was right, Bellamy stood in a corner inspecting a gun while Clarke was pacing the room.
"Woah! What's going on in here?" I ask causing both people to lift their heads and look at me,
"Clarke's stressing because we have inside information, that could save our lives." Bellamy says walking over towards me,
"Im confused." I say,
"Your not the only one," Clarke replies, still pacing around the room.
"Clarke! Will you please stop pacing? Your making me anxious and i dont even know what your on about." I half-shout at the blonde, she stops pacing and takes a seat on one of the chairs in the middle of the room.
"Trikru's marching an army, here. To kill us." The blonde says flatly.
"Okay? So we fight." I say earning a strange gesture of Bellamy,
"Thats exactly what i said." He half-whispers, loud enough for both of us to hear.
"Thats the problem. How can we fight something when we dont know what were up against?" Clarke sighs,
"Good point." Bellamy says, joining Clarke on a chair. A thought smacks me in the face,
"I know." I blurt out before i can stop myself, i just hope Azgeda and Trikru's fighting styles are similar. Both Bellamy and Clarke's faces contort at my statement, "Guns might hold them off for and hour or so but after that we need a new plan, how long have we got?"
"Until sunrise." Clarke says standing up out of her seat and walking past me out of the dropship. Bellamy goes to follow her out, but before he reaches that door he turns to face me,
"Nice hair."
"Thanks."

I went back to my tent, unable to think with all the people around me. I did have a plan but whether it would work was a different thing entirely. I hear a knock on one of the outside poles,
"Yeah." I shout to whoever is outside, Bellamy walks into my tent and takes a seat next to me.
"Hows the plan coming along?" He asks,
"Not to well,"
"You do have one dont you?" The boy asks turning his head to face me,
"Yeah," I sigh, " but its a long shot."
"Well at this point a long shot is better than nothing." Bellamy says his eyes locking with mine, i nod quickly.
"Ill keep racking my brain then." I laugh quietly,
"Oh and Raven says she's happy to help if you need it."
"Thanks Bellamy." I smile, my eyeline following the boy out of my tent. My mind casts back to what Clarke said eariler, about Bellamy caring for me. However i quickly dismiss the thought, i couldn't be distracted especially not when i only had twelve hours until the grounders attack.

I walk out of my tent and over towards where Raven is standing, before i get there the girl turns around and sees me coming.
"Kyara, what can i help you with?"
"My plan." I say, " how long would it take to redirect all our power into starting up the dropship?"
Raven looks at me confused, "maybe a few hours, why?"
"Gather everyone important in the dropship, ill tell you all together." I say, Raven nods and walks off to get everyone together. Within minutes Bellamy, Clarke, Raven, Octavia, Jasper, John and about 5 other people i didnt recognise were sat in the dropship.
"Whats you plan Kyara?" Clarke asks,
"As i said earlier, guns will not hold the grounders off for long. Azgeda had archers and im guessing Trikru will to, just them alone will pick off a good number of us. So, i spoke to Raven earlier about directing all power possible to starting back up the dropship." Everyone's faces look blank with confusion. "We get everyone back in here, and we blow up anything outside." I sigh, earning mumbles from the people i don't recognize,
"Shut it!" Bellamy shouts to the people talking, he looks towards Raven," Can we do it?"
Raven nods, "Everything draining power will have to go, but yes, we can."
"Then whats stopping us?" Clarke says  getting up from her seat, " unhook anything thats draining power, we have some grounders to burn."
Everyone begins to leave the ship but i stay sat down. I have just condemned an army to their death, should i feel upset? I feel a muscled arm wrap around my neck, in a normal circumstance i wouldve injured the person behind me. But i felt safe, so instead i lent back into their chest. I could already tell who the person behind me was by their arm but looking upwards just gave me more closure. Bellamy's chin rested on the top of my head and i moved one of my hands up so it rested on his arms around my neck,
"Its okay to feel like this you know." He whispers, i swallow hard and nod my head gently.
"I know."

Bellamy lets go of my neck and walks around so he is infront of me, taking my hand in his he begins to draw circles on my palm. He pulls up a chair with his free hand and sits directly infront of me, still holding my hand. That was when my mood changed, one i needed to apologise to Bell and second, we needed to blow up these grounders.

So looks as if were going to get an apology in the next chapter. They're finally going to make up! Yay!
