Chapter 2

I laid in my tent and stared up at the ceiling. It was one of those nights where I could make out some of the stars through the thin material of the tent. I sighed and thought about what a mess everything was. The Exdos ship that was more likely than not carrying my mother crashed several weeks ago. There were no survivors. Things with the grounders were worse than ever. Bellamy was convinced war was coming and he had been training as many kids as he could with the rifles. At least Bellamy still had no idea that we had slept together. We had gone back to our usual banter and everything was completely normal between us.

I heard some commotion outside, it was well after midnight so I immediately got nervous. I jumped up and headed to the small crowd gathered not far from the entrance to camp.

"The grounders will be here tomorrow night. We have less than twenty-four hours…we need to be ready to fight!"

Octavia was standing in the middle of the small group of people along with Lincoln. I saw Bellamy across the circle, he seemed confident, not at all worried about us going to war with a bunch of kids as soldiers.

"What's going on?" I asked.

Octavia turned to me. "The grounders are getting ready to march. They leave at dawn and will be at our gate by sunset."

"We should leave." Finn said walking up beside me.

I immediately looked over at Bellamy and knew right away that he thought that was a bad idea. "And where would you like us to go? Bellamy yelled out. "Nowhere is safer than inside this wall."

"Bellamy's right." I said. Bellamy looked at me and looked completely shocked that I agreed with him.

"I agree." Lincoln said. "Scouts are already out there. You won't get very far."

"Okay than. We should all try and get a couple more hours sleep. Bellamy, maybe we should double the guards on patrol?"

Bellamy nodded and got to work assigning duties. "Hey Princess!" Bellamy called out as I walked by. He jogged over to me and began to walk beside me. "Thanks for being on my side back there."

I shrugged my shoulders and turned towards him before giving him a small smile. "There is a first time for everything." I paused. "I am going to go find Raven, see if she has any ideas that could maybe give us an upper hand with the grounders.

Miller ran into the drop ship with several kids behind him. "They broke through the gate! We have to shut the door."

"Not yet. We still have people out there." I jumped up and ran towards the door. "Bellamy's not back yet."

Once I was outside I noticed that Finn and Miller had followed me out. It was the most awful sight. The grounders were just picking off our people like it was nothing.

"There." Finn said as he touched my shoulder and pointed off to the side of us. It was Bellamy. It was the first time I had ever seen him look scared and it terrified me. I never realized until that moment how much strength I drew from his calmness and ability to handle tough situations.

"Bellamy, run!" I called out to him. He ran but before he could get very far he was attacked by a large grounder. My breath caught in my throat and I felt sick. "He's not going to make it." The moment the words left my mouth Finn ran over to help him. "Finn!" I called out.

"Clarke, we have to get inside." Miller said as he shot at the grounders that got by the others.

"I can't just leave them."

"You can't save everyone." He said. I knew he was right. If I waited any longer the ones that were inside would be dead too. I needed to save who I could. I took one last look at Bellamy and Finn before running inside with Miller.

The plan to blast off and barbeque the grounders worked, or at least that is what it seemed like. We agreed to stay in the ship until morning but the banging and the noise stopped so we were sure they were all dead.

Dawn came, most of the kids were asleep. I hadn't slept a bit. I felt so guilty for shutting the door on Bellamy and Finn. I kept telling myself that I didn't have a choice but my heart didn't believe that. I had no clue how I was supposed to lead without Bellamy, I couldn't do it alone. I walked over and opened the door before slowly making my way outside. A few of the people with were awake, including Miller holding his gun tightly followed behind me.

My eyes opened slowly but the bright light above me caused me to close them quickly. I turned my head and suddenly realized that I was not anywhere I knew. I sat up and rubbed my head. I didn't remember anything after walking out of the drop ship. The room I was in was all white. I had on white pants and a white tank top. There was an IV in my arm that I immediately pulled out. I jumped out of bed and headed for the door…it of course was locked. Just as I turned away the door opened and in walked two large men dressed in what looked like security uniforms followed by a women in a lab coat holding a clip board.

"Oh good you are awake." She said. "Please have a seat."

"Where the hell am I? Where are all my friends?"

She smiled. "Please have a seat." She repeated gesturing towards the bed I was lying in earlier.

I crossed my arms over my chest showing her I wasn't going to do anything she wanted.

"Fine." She said. She looked down at her clipboard. "We ran tests when you were brought in. It looks like you are about five weeks pregnant."

I shook my head. "I am not pregnant."

"Our test is a hundred percent accurate. You are definitely pregnant." She paused. "Your blood sugar was also a little low…I will have some food brought in to you."

I shook my head. Pregnant? How could I let this happen. On the ark girls were implanted with birth control as soon as they got their first period, no exceptions. I got mine at thirteen, they are good for five years and I was sent to earth before my eighteenth birthday, I should have realized this before. I didn't have time to sit and process this. I needed to figure out where the hell I was, where my friends were and decide if these people were enemies.

"You have about thirty minutes left in here and then you will be able to join your friends." She said glancing up from her clipboard." She paused. "We would like to make a note as to who the father is."

Tears built up in my eyes, I couldn't let myself think about him right now. "Where the hell am I?"

The women smiled. "Mount Weather." She said simply before following the two security guards out of my room.

I laid back down and tried to process what they had just told me. Pregnant. How could I have been so stupid. I let go and for once have a little fun and I end up pregnant. And the worst part is that it is my fault this baby's dad is dead. For a brief moment I thought of the possibility that Bellamy could be alive, he is a survivor, he could have found a way…but I stop. I couldn't let myself hope that he was still alive, I needed to start preparing myself that I was in this alone and now I not only had the other kids to look out for but also this baby…mine and Bellamy's baby.

Please leave a quick review! I might love reviews as much as Bellamy loves Clarke
