Human Trials

Shadow's POV

I let out a groan as my eyes slowly open and I see Abby sleeping on Clarke. I remember only bits and pieces of what had happened last night. I remember being shot and screaming when Abby was fixing me up. I sit up in the bed and see Abby sleeping next to Clarke's beside me. I pulled the blanket off my body and Clarke wakes up. Abby lifted her head "I thought you got thrown off the council" Clarke stated. "Oh. It's a Chancellors pin" Abby stated. "Wait, you?" Clarke asked. "Yeah" Abby smiled. "Thelonious didn't make it" Abby informed Clarke. "And Kane left a few days ago," Abby says, stopping me in my tracks. "What?" I asked. Abby turned her head and looked at me. "He went and tried to make peace with the Grounders to get you and the others back" Abby explained. "I told you, The Grounders don't have us," Clarke says. "How long have I been asleep?" Clarke asked. "Bout of you have been out for about ten hours," she says. Clarke began to sit up. "Clarke slow down" Abby ordered her. "It's too soon," Abby says. "Abby, we need to move against Mount Weather" I informed her. "How many guards do we have?" Clarke asked. "Where are Bellamy and my sister?" I asked. "And Finn?" Clarke added. "Stop! You both need to rest" Abby pointed out. "I don't need to rest, you Rory?" Clarke asked. "I'm fine," I say to her. "Ma'am, movement in the north woods" A guard informed Abby. "Grounders?" Abby asked. "I don't think so" she shakes her head. Clarke and I followed Abby out of the tent as I put on a jacket. My eyes go wide when I see Raven. "Hi!" Clarke smiled, hugging Raven tightly. "I've been waiting out here all night for any news on you both" Raven stated. She pulled away from Clarke and looked at me, hesitant to talk. I pulled her into a hug "We're good Raven" I say. She gave me a tight squeeze, letting out a laugh. I pulled from her and noticed her brace. "Raven...I" she cut me off. "Sucks but I'm dealing with it" she sighed. "Open the gate!" Someone called out. I turned my head as I see him. "Bellamy..." I whispered. My feet moved against the ground quickly. He came closer and closer. I thought he was gonna disappear. My body collided with his and I wrapped my arms around him, causing him to stumble back. Bellamy doesn't hug me for a moment but when his arms wrap around me I begin to sob. "Now there's something I thought I'd never see," Octavia says as Clarke comes over. I begin sobbing "I thought I lost you...." Tears rolled down my cheeks. "I'm here...I'm alive," Bellamy says. I slightly pulled from him before crashing my lips onto his. I didn't care who was watching. Bellamy kisses me back. "Get a room" Clarke joked as I pulled from him and then hugged Octavia. "I'm so glad you're okay" I whispered to her. "You too," Octavia tells me. "How many are with you?" Bellamy asked me as I go to his side and hung onto him, not wanting to let go. "None...." Clarke answered. I looked around "Where's Finn?" Clark asked.

I walked down the hall. "Wait up! Where are you going?" Bellamy asked me. "I'm gonna go see Izzy, I know she's somewhere around here and if I'm guessing she's probably at the bar drinking" I joked. "Wait..."Bellamy pulled me aside "I need to talk to you" he informed me. "Can it wait?" I asked him. "I wanna talk to Izzy" I turn to leave when he spoke. "She's not here" Bellamy blurted out. I turned around to him "What? Why wouldn't she be..." I paused, tilting my head to the side. "Please tell me you didn't let her go out there with Finn-" Bellamy cut me off again. "No! I'd never let her..." he paused sighing. "Bellamy? What is going on?" I asked him. His eyes were full of sadness as he each into his pocket. My heart almost stopped when I see the necklace. "B-Bellamy?" I stuttered out. "I'm so sorry...." Bellamy says. My heart broke as I felt myself finally chip away into nothing. I shake my head as he put the necklace in my palm and I see the I on it. "No...." I choked out. "No! No no!" I crashed to my knees, sobbing hard as I felt myself sink into darkness. This empty hole feeling. Bellamy wrapped his arms around me. "Get off me!" I screamed at him. "Everything I touch dies!" I shouted, my screams echoing through the hall. "I'm here...I'm right here..." Bellamy whispered as he cradled me in his arms. I sob harder and grabbed his shirt and let out a scream so loud it echoed all over the camp.

I hadn't said much as Abby explained they were letting Finn and Murphy go. "What no! You can't just cut them loose" Clarke tells her mother as Bellamy stands behind us. "Sweetheart, we don't have the manpower to send out two separate rescue missions and protect our camp" Abby pointed out. This was total bullshit. "Mom. They're in trouble" Clarke says. "They're either gonna get themselves killed, or they're gonna make things worse with the Grounders who we need to get our people out of Mount Weather" Clarke pointed out. "I know you feel this is unfair. But our priority has to be with Chancellor Kane if there is any hope of peace" Abby says. His name made my skin crawl as my stomach turned. "If you wanted peace you shouldn't have killed the only Grounder who was gonna help us" I blurted out. Abby arched a brow at me, almost shocked by my actions. "I'm sorry...the decisions been made," Abby says. She went to turn away when I spoke again. "You're sorry?" I asked, scoffing a little. "Finn and Murphy are out there looking for Clarke and me with guns YOU gave them and now that we're home you're just gonna abandon them?" I hissed. "If you can't spare the guards, we know the terrain we have a map and we can do it ourselves" Bellamy finally spoke, walking closer to us. "Absolutely not!" She hissed. "Mom!" Clarke raised her voice. "I just got you back!" Abby shouted. Suddenly a guy runs up to Abby "Abby!" He called out. "I'm sorry we need you in medical" he informed her. "You better go," Clarke says harshly. "Byrne?" Abby called out to the guard woman who had shot Clarke and me. "No one leaves this camp" Abby ordered. "Yes, Ma'am" She nodded. Abby glared between Bellamy and me before walking away. I turned to him "We're gonna need guns" I whispered to him. "I'll get a few things...meet me over with Raven?" Clarke suggested before walking away. "Let's g-" Bellamy cut me off when he grabbed my hand. "Hey...slow down, maybe you should stay here? It's only been a few hours since—" I cut him off this time. "I'm fine, really Bellamy!" I forced a smile, not wanting to think about it. "Really? Come on just sit this one out?" He begged. "No...Bellamy, I need to go, if I stay here I'll go crazy" I explained to him. He placed his hand on my cheek and softly stroked it with his thumb. "Ok..." he says in a soft voice. "But you have to promise not to do anything—" I cut him off again. "Stupid?" I asked. He smirked a little "Reckless" he corrected me. I placed my lips onto his. "Me? Never" I smiled before walking away.

Raven set the duffel bag on the rock in the back of the camp by the fence. "I scored you a couple of extra clips. Bellamy opened up the bag and pulled out a gun before handing it to me. "Hey. My mom's in surgery and the team going after Kane just left" Clarke explained. "We should too" Clarke added. "Did you find Octavia?" Bellamy asked. "No. I found you" Octavia walked over to us. "I'm not letting you leave here without me" Octavia stated. "Octavia—" she cut Clarke off. "Finn and Murphy are headed for Lincoln village. I've been there have you?" She asked Bellamy. "Has she?" She added, pointing to me. I giggled "You done?" I asked her. Clarke handed me a bag and I extended it to Octavia. "What's this?" She asked me. "Your pack" Bellamy answered. "Lead the way" I stated to Octavia. "Whoa! Not so fast" Raven held out her crutch and places it on the fence. It shocked the wood, causing me to jump back. "I thought you said it was handled?" Clarke whispered to Raven. "It is" she whispered back before pulling a walkie. "Shut her down wick" Raven stated. I hear a buzz back and Raven touched the fence again with the wood before nodding. Octavia shoved her pack in and climbed through. Bellamy spread it apart for me. "Thank you" I smiled, ducking under before Bellamy followed. We rushed away from the camp, on our mission to get Finn and Murphy back.

After dark Bellamy set a small fire up and Clarke and Octavia sleep. I sat down next to Bellamy on the log. "Hey...You should be sleeping" He whispered to me. I smile softly at him "I haven't been able to sleep for a while now...I'll be fine" I informed him. There's a long moment of silence as I stared at him. "I was so worried...I thought you were..." I cleared my throat. Tears form in my eyes "Clarke and Miller dragged me into that dropship and when Clarke closed the door I lost it..." I explained. "I hadn't even realized Izzy went out looking for me" I added. I turned to Bellamy "I can't lose anyone else...." I whispered. "I might not make it if I do," I say to him. "I'm not going anywhere" he smirked, leaning forward and pressing his lips onto mine. I climbed into his lap, straddling him as our kiss got rough and passionate. It was hot and sexy. He stood up, carrying me with him over to the blankets on the ground away from Clarke and Octavia. He laid me on the blanket and began to kiss my neck. A small moan escaped my lips as my stomach danced with butterflies. "Wait...." I whispered as panic hit. I slightly pushed him back "I...We can't" I shake my head. He knit his brows together "Why?" He asked. "I...I'm just not ready Bell" I say to him. His eyes went wide "No...Are you?" He asked. I hide my face in his jacket "I am...I know it's horrible" I say. He chuckled deeply "No, it's not horrible....whenever you're ready" he informed me. "For now we can just lay here and talk" he whispered as he laid down next to me, pulling me closer into his and wrapping his arms around my body. It was quiet for a while before Bellamy spoke. "The last time I saw you, You had an arrow in your leg..." he whispered to me. "We got back to the dropship and when Izzy...I thought you might have been too. But no one else was there so we assumed it was the Grounders" he stated. "You couldn't have known it was the Mountain men. No one could have Bellamy" I placed my hand on his cheek. "How long until chocolate cake turns into being hung upside down and drained for their blood?" Bellamy asked me in a sad tone. "I don't know...." I sighed. "We don't have much time," I say to him. "Okay, First we find Finn and then our people in Mount Weather" Bellamy stated. "And Lincoln..." I hear Octavia say. She suddenly sat up "I think we've slept long enough..." Octavia stood to her feet and walked over to Clarke. I looked up at Bellamy and rolled my eyes before getting up as well, getting our things together to head towards Finn and Murphy.

We walk through the woods, it's daylight now. Bellamy looked down at the map "This is it" he stated as we came to a stop. "Which way to the village?" I asked Octavia. "O?" Bellamy says to her. "The Reapers came from there" she pointed to the statue. She turned to Bellamy and began to cry. "I couldn't save him, Bell" she sobbed as he pulled her into a hug. "I couldn't save him" she repeated. When she's done crying we begin walking again. We got closer to the village when I hear the gunfire. "That was definitely gunfire!" I shouted and we all took off to the village. Suddenly more gunfire irrupted through the air. I begin to hear screams as we entered the camp. We got to the camp and my breath hitched to see Finn holding the gun and all the Grounders he had killed. "I found you" he whispered to her. Rage filled every part of me, he killed innocent people. He just started another war.

We were running through the woods, trying to get back to camp. Bellamy stopped and we all looked behind us. "Nobodies following" Finn stated. "That's because you killed everyone!" I screamed, rage filling as I ran at him and I punched him in the face. I tried to go for Murphy but Bellamy grabbed me. "Arabella! Stop!" Bellamy shouted, holding me back. "Woah! I tried to stop him" Murphy stated. "Not hard enough" Bellamy pointed out. "We should've stopped," Clarke says. Bellamy grabbed my arm and began pulling me with him.
