Blood Moon

The next morning Clarke was eating at the fire with the rest of the delinquents. After few minutes Raven joined her and sat next to her.

"Good to see you still alive and back to your old self." Raven looked nervously around and then glared at Clarke.

Clarke rolled her eyes at her friend's behavior. Raven grabbed her arm and dragged her to Clarke's tent. "You cannot talk like that in front of the others. If they find out I will have problems."

"Raven, I said nothing. And how many of them will think as their first thought that you're a werewolf? That's insane. Even though I saw it with my own eyes I still think I'm insane."

"Maybe you are." Raven said that with a serious face.

"Raven! You owe me an explanation about yesterday. But before that. You know me, right? I mean you knew me before yesterday."

Raven sighed. "This is a long story, we should sit down." They both sat on Clarke's bed facing each other.

"I didn't know you from before but I know another Griffin. She is chief at medical."

Clarke chimed in. "That's my mom."

"So you have to know." She looked at Clarke in disbelief.

"Oh, believe me I don't. My mother loved to lie to me. She let my father get floated and let me think it was my best friend that turned him in." Clarke looked at the ground. With the memory of her father, all that pain came back.

"Wow, and I thought my family was weird." Clarke looked at her.

"Anyway to the story. Everything started with my breakup with Finn. After I punched him I went back to my quarters and I was really pissed. I felt pain in my hand and when I looked at it, it had claws I blinked a few times and it was back to normal, so I convinced myself that it was just a dream." Clarke nodded for her to continue.

"After few weeks I started breaking everything in my job. It was like I couldn't control my power. So, my boss sent me to your mom. When I got there, she wasn't alone, she was with the Chancellor. I didn't mean to overhear, but they were talking so loudly, or maybe I just had better hearing, I don't know, anyway I could hear them."

FLASHBACK

"They are dangerous, Abby." Thelonious gesticulated to the dead body in the corner of the room.

Abby was cleaning fresh blood from her hands. "It was just one of them and nothing actually happened."

"Nothing? That monster almost killed you. And word 'almost' I can use just because that suppressants were still in his system." He started to pace around room.

"I could have saved him, if I gave him more of them…" Jaha interrupted before Abby could finish.

"It would be a waste of our resources and you know it. He was already turning. His right arm was fully animalistic. And it was only 6 months after his last dose of suppressants. Don't tell me you haven't noticed that the younger ones are coming to medical more and more often. When the citizens find out, not even the vitamins will help us." At word vitamins he did quotes.

"What you want to do Thelonious?" She was desperate.

"We will send them to Earth." He just wanted them out of his station. He really didn't care what happened to them.

"You cannot be serious." Abby cannot lose her only daughter like that.

"It will save resources for the rest of us and they can do whatever they want down there. Everyone wins." She knew he was right.

Abby gave up. "And what you want me to do?" Jaha smiled at that.

END OF FLASHBACK

"After that, I got out. I knew I couldn't go to medical because they would kill me. So, I started repairing that old pod. But I needed a pressure regulator and that's when everything went wrong. Your mother found out and told the Council. They sent their guards after me, so I had to launch without it. And that's why I burnt half of the forest. And on top of that, I only had one parachute." Raven shook her head.

Clarke nodded again. "So, you're telling me that all of us can change? And we will start killing each other?"

"I don't know, Griffin. But according to what I heard, it definitely looks like all of us can change." She took a deep breath. "I haven't killed anyone yet, so that means it doesn't need to end that way."

If Clarke is a werewolf that could explain why she could smell that other wolf. Finally, at least one answer.

"And you know the vitamins we had to take every year?" Clarke nodded. "Well they're the suppressants. I got new one like 3 months before breaking up with Finn. There has to be something else that started that change." Clarke slowly nodded.

There was one more question on Clarke's mind. "Why did you try to drag me away from that wolf yesterday?"

Raven looked at the ground. "Anya told me…"

"Wait. Who's Anya?" She'd never heard about anyone with that name on the Ark.

"You remember when I changed?" Raven looked back at Clarke.

"I don't think I will ever forget that." Clarke shook her head when she remembered how Raven changed.

"Rude. Who taught you to watch people from the shadows, anyway?" Raven tried to keep her look serious but didn't succeed.

"I didn't go there to watch. You just happened to be there. Anyway back to my question!" Clarke really didn't want to talk about that.

"Sure, Griffin, sure." Clarke rolled her eyes.

"When I changed. That wolf that came to me? That was Anya. Well, she told me, that I smell weird, but also that we are in their territory. That's never a good sign. And then you decided to say hello to their alpha. I needed to stop you. Then she got mad, I don't even know why." Raven sighed. "And then…I don't know why or how but I felt like I had to protect you."

"Next time you could listen to me." Clarke didn't even know why she was mad.

"I had no clue that you knew that alpha. I thought she wanted to hurt you." Raven looked back at the ground.

Before Clarke could say anything else, they heard some voices from outside and decided to go take a look.

They saw some of Bellamy's minions dragging a big muscular guy into the drop ship.

Clarke made her way over to Bellamy. "What are you doing?"

"That guy was keeping O as his prisoner and probably speared Finn. If he didn't then we can definitely make him talk about the ones who did." With that he went up to the second floor of the drop ship, right behind his prisoner.

Raven and Clarke exchanged worried looks and went up after him.

Octavia was already up there, and she looked like she would tear Bellamy's head off any moment.

Bellamy sent his minions back down and grabbed a seat belt from the floor. As he walked closer to the, now restrained guy, Octavia jumped in between them.

"You can't do that." Octavia yelled.

"He could kill you." Anyone who hurt his little sister would see his wrath.

"But he didn't. When I was outside, I fell. He found me and helped me." She was desperate now.

"So why he was keeping you on that chain." He didn't know why Octavia was protecting this guy but he would not let him get away with chaining her to wall.

"He was protecting me. There were some people outside that cave who were trying to kill us."

"Get away Octavia." When Octavia didn't move, he pushed her out of his way.

He got to the guy and started to lash his back with the seat belt.

Octavia watched and clenched her fists. "Stop it, stop it." But Bellamy wasn't paying any attention to her.

Raven wanted to say something, but she looked to Octavia and nudged Clarke. When Clarke looked at her, with a really annoyed expression on her face, Raven pointed to Octavia with her chin. Clarke gasped when she saw claws on one of Octavia's hands.

Fortunately, Bellamy didn't notice anything. He stopped the lashing and started to ask questions. But the guy didn't say anything, he just looked at Clarke. But Clarke didn't notice.

The blonde motioned for Raven to go to Octavia. Raven nodded and tried to calm Octavia down.

After that, Clarke went over to Bellamy and put her hand on his shoulder. "You should tell the others to build a wall around our camp." She was slowly moving him to the hatch in the floor with his back to Octavia.

"You know, because we don't want any others like him in here, right? I will take care of him for now." She took the seat belt from his hand and pushed him down the hatch. She quickly closed door before he could say anything.

She sighed and looked at the other two girls in the room. Octavia finally looked down at her hand and a scared look crossed her face.

"Do something." Clarke looked at Raven desperately.

"What I should do?" Raven grabbed Octavia's hand and brought them both forward.

"I don't know. This happened to you, not me." Clarke slowly started to raise her voice.

"I told you it just disappeared by itself." Raven started turning Octavia's hand over in her own.

After a moment, her hand was normal again. There was collective sigh of relief.

"Wait, what? You mean this has happened to you before?" Octavia looked from Raven to Clarke.

"It's nothing. You're just a werewolf, as is Raven, and probably the rest of us too." Clarke looked at her as though what she'd just said was perfectly normal.

"Wait…what?" Now, Octavia was even more confused and scared than before.

While Clarke was explaining to Octavia everything that she knew from Raven about her problems on the Ark, Raven sniffed the air and moved closer to the guy in the chains. She looked at him for a moment. "Clarke I think he belongs to your alpha friend." Octavia and Clarke turned to her.

Clarke had totally forgotten about that guy. "What?"

"He smells similar to her and Anya. So talk little guy. Do you know them?" He didn't even looked at her.

Clarke sniffed around him. "He definitely does not smell like her."

"So you were smelling to her." Raven laughed. Clarke punched her, and that made Raven laugh even harder.

Clarke started blushing. "I wasn't smelling her…I can just randomly smell her, that's all."

"Sure, Griffin." That was everything Raven managed to say between laughs.

Then realization hit Clarke. "You trying to tell me that he is a werewolf as well?"

"Hey! Wait can you explain it to me? Who the hell is Clarke's alpha friend and who is Anya?" She looked between other girls in room.

"We will explain it to you later. We need to get him out of here. I don't want to fight with his pack. I think just his alpha alone could kill us all. She was huge. Maybe after we let him go, he won't tell them." She looked at him. "Right?" Once again he didn't look at her. His eyes were still fixed on Clarke.

Raven just rolled her eyes and decided that now was as good a time as any to tell Octavia everything.

Clarke noticed for the first time that he was watching her. She watched him for a moment as well.

After a while, she noticed that the girls had stopped talking and she could feel their eyes on her now.

After a moment, she moved closer to the chained guy and looked him in the eyes. "What?"

"My alpha wants to speak with you."
