Chapter 8
Murphy have horses ready by the gates!" She yells over her shoulder. Lexa runs up the stairs 3 at a time luckily the throne room is only one level below her bedroom.
"Commander there was a lot of blood" Bellamy says through each intake of breath
"Where" she growls not stopping. She come to the top of the stairs
"Ravens room" they both run from the stairs to the room. When they get there Lexa takes a look at the pool of blood. She feel heat run up her neck and she feels like she can't breathe everything around her sounds like she is underwater, she knows Bellamy is trying to talk to her but she can't hear him. She clenches her fists falls down to her knees and let's out a scream of anger. She can see Bellamy in front of her kneeling down. His eyes are watery. He takes hold of her hand and holds it over his heart. She can't seem to hear what he is saying but he is taking deep breaths so she copies him. In and out, in and out. She starts to feel his heart beating. She closes her eyes and continues what she is doing till she can hear Bellamy clear once again.
"That's it Lexa big breaths, in and out" he says calmly. She opens her eyes and looks at him "come on we need you" he pleads with sad eyes. She nods and stands up. He holds her by the shoulders and give her a reassuring squeeze. She looks past him to the pool of blood and see that there is a trail. She rushes past Bellamy and starts to follow it. It leads down the other stair case that is near Ravens room. Murphy Lincoln and Octavia come at a halt near Ravens room. Before anyone can speak she holds up her hands.
"They have gone out the underground tunnels! Lincoln and Octavia take the horses that I had Murphy organise and try to cut whomever took them at the end" they both nod and run to the elevator "Murphy stay here contact Arcadia and have Abigail come here in case we need more healers. Bellamy your with me we are going to follow the trail of blood"
"Sha heda" he bows and leaves. She looks at bellamy who has a look of determination on his face. He nods at her and both of them run down the stairs that leads to the tunnels.
.................................
Clarke opens her eyes slowly, then lets out a scream of agony. She grasps her leg and sees the bullet hole which has a lot of blood coming out of it. She bites down on her lip till it bleeds. Her head is pounding and she feels like she is going to throw up. She lays back and hits cement that's when it occurs to her that she had been taken she sits up quickly to look at where she was but the quick motion made her feel dizzy. She closed her eyes and tried to focus. First things first she thinks. My leg. Stop the bleeding. She looks at her leg again and can see the bullet went right through. Clarke ripped some fabric from her shirt and tied it around the top of her leg to stop the blood flow. She groaned in pain. When she seen that the blood slowed down she looked around where she was. The room was rectangular made of cement. There was a ladder leading up to a hatch. In the room was a bed and what looked like a kitchen and a door that was currently closed. She looked back to the bed and noticed that Raven was unconscious on top of it.
"Raven!" She tried to move but her leg was hurting and her head was spinning. She got on her stomach and dragged her self to the other side of the room to the bed. With all the strength she had left she managed to move her self on her knee. She held on the the bed with both her hands and heaved herself up and slumped down beside Raven on the bed checking for a pulse. There was a nice strong one. She placed her hand on her shoulder "Raven!" She said loudly trying to wake her friend "Raven come on wake up please" she pleaded. Raven started to mumble words "come on Raven please" she said with tears in her eyes. Ravens eyes snapped open when she heard Clarkes last plea she quickly turned over and looked at Clarke. Clarke was crying.
"Clarke oh my god you have fucking been shot! What the fuck do I do Clarke!" Raven said panicked. Clarke held her friends hand to try calm her down.
"Hey it's ok" Clarke said softly. "I have lost a lot of blood ray" Raven shook her head
"No no no no, it's gonna be ok griffin we can fix this come on"
"I don't know how much time I have left Raven I need you to do some thing please" Raven ignored her and put pressure on the wound
"No fuck you your gonna be ok" she said shaking her head
"Rayes please" Raven got up from the bed and ignored Clarke. She ran around quickly to see where she was. She walked into a kitchen that was completely bare. She then walked to the room with the door and pushed it open it was a bathroom. She then ran to the ladder
"We are in a bomb shelter" said Raven as she rushed up the ladder
"Raven"
"That sick fuck Jaha I'm going to kill him myself" she said as she tried to open the hatch but it wouldn't budge
"Raven" Raven climbed down the ladder. She ran to the kitchen and bathroom again looking for something.
"There's no way out!" She said as she grabbed her hair roughly out of frustration
"Please Raven" Clarke said softly. Raven ignored her and climbed up the ladder and was hitting the hatch
"Let us out you fucking basket case!" Raven yelled
"RAVEN!" Clarke yelled. Raven stopped hitting the hatch. She sighed and climbed down the ladder and sat by her friend
"Please Clarke don't give up the raccoon will find us ok you just got to hang in there" Clarke smiled and held Ravens hand
"Raven I'm so glad you have her as a friend, you have to tell her that I-"
"No no no" Raven tried to stand but Clarke had a firm grip on her arm. "I'm not listening to you say good bye Clarke I'm not!" Clarke wiped tears from her eyes
"Please Raven?" Raven let out a sob and layed down next to her friend she wrapped her arm around her waist "tell her that I love her ok" Clarke said softly "tell her that I'll always be with her and that me not being there does not mean that love is weakness cause it's not" she took a breath "you make sure you tell her that it's not Raven" Clarke said firmly. Raven nodded "tell her that I'll wait for her. tell her that I love her and I want her to be happy" Raven held her tighter. "She will be broken Raven. Will you be there for her? will you help her?" Raven nodded
"Of course Clarkey. I will not leave her! Stop talking like this we will make it" Clarke closed her eyes "Clarke?" She shook her shoulder "Clarke no! Wake up" Clarke opened her eyes " hey stay awake ok" Clarke nodded but started to drift off again "no Clarke!" Clarke opened her eyes
"I'm tired Raven" she said softly. Raven kneeled beside her and held her face gently
"I know Clarke but listen Lexa needs you to stay awake ok"
"Leksa?"
"Yeah Lexa. Your Lexa. She needs you griff." Clarke looked up at Raven and Raven seen the fire in her eyes again
"Yeah. Lexa. Mine!" She growled. Raven smiled
"Yeah griff she's all yours and she needs you to fight ok" Clarke nodded. "Now I need you to tell me what the hell to do griff" Clarke groggily looked around.
"Make. Weapon." Clarke said slowly. Raven smirked
"Now your talking!" Raven looked around the room again. She walked in to the bathroom and seen the mirror she ran back into the kitchen and pulled off the tap she quickly ran back to the bathroom and threw it at the mirror as hard as she could until it smashed. She picked up the broken pieces and ran back to Clarke. Clarkes eyes were closed "she dropped the pieces and ran to Clarke and pushed her shoulder "no wake up Clarke!" She yelled Clarke slowly opened her eyes "remember you have to stay awake for your Lexa" she nodded
"My. Lexa." She said slowly. Clarke sat up slowly and looked at the blanket she was lying on it was green. Not green like her lexas but green enough to remind her what she is fighting for. Her head was pounding she just wanted to sleep "Wrap glass in blanket" she said weakly
"Ok princess ok, I get what your saying!" Raven started to quickly wrap them up so if she used it as a weapon it wouldn't cut her hand. "Ok now what" she said when she was done she looked up and Clarke was asleep again. She lightly tapped Clarkes face. "No come on Clarke Lexa needs you"
"Leksa" she mumbled.
"Yeah the crazy raccoon needs you ok" Clarke smiled and looked at Raven
"I'm gonna marry her one day rayes" she mumbled through her smile. Raven chuckled
"Ok princess well you gotta not be dead for that otherwise she might marry someone else" she smirked. Clarke sat up quickly with fire in her eyes again
"Mine!" She growled "my Lexa!" She looked at he hatch. "Tell them you are ready to take the chip. Wait them attack" Raven nodded and ran up the ladder
"Hey you crazy fucks I wanna take that damn chip!" She yelled while banging on the hatch door. It started to open so she quickly made her way down the ladder. She went to Clarkes side and gave her some Material covered glass and hid some behind her back. The 2 grounder body guards made there way down and stood in front of her. Clarke placed her hand on Ravens arm. Indicating her to wait. Raven nodded. And stood up beside the bed. Hannah came down the ladder she stood in front of Raven with her gun aimed at her
"Jaha?" Clarke groggily asked. Hannah looked at her
"No here right now" she replied she lowered her gun when she seen there was no threat.
"What?" Clarke said softly
"Not here" Clarke closed her eyes
"Huh?" Hannah scoffed and moved towards Clarke and lent down to take to her face to face.
"Not her-" she was cut off as Clarke got the piece of glass and stabbed her in the side of her neck. Clarke grabbed the gun. Hannah started to fall in to her and Clarke used what strength she had and pushed her off. Raven jumped forward and stabbed the closest grounder in the heart as Clarke shot the other guard in the head. Raven ran to Clarkes side. Clarke looked up to her
"Go" she said softly. As she layed back down.
"No come on we will leave together" she started to help Clarke but Clarke groggily pushed her away.
"Go. Get Leksa" she said Raven knew she had no option she couldn't carry Clarke up the ladder. She swallowed the lump in her throat. She grabbed Clarkes face so she would look at her
"You listen to me griffin! I'm gonna go ok. But u need to fight, for Lexa!" Clarke looked her in the eyes and smiled
"My Lexa" she said softly "I'm gonna marry her Raven, have children. Be happy." she said determined
"That's right you stay alive ok" she left Clarke and climbed up the ladder
