Chapter 24-Training

It was still night and the night air was cold, and the ground was wet as Billy was knocked on his back once more. He lets out a groan as Raven laughs. Most of the people in the village were still asleep besides Indra and Anya. They were with Raven and Billy. Indra looks at Raven. "He is your mate or boyfriend as you called him, correct?" Indra asks the woman who looks at her.

"Yeah, I am but he is an asshole. He hit our friend Murphy over the head and left, not telling us anything," Raven says. Anya reaches her hand out to Billy, who grabs it as Anya pulls him up. Billy picks his sword up off the ground and looks at Raven.

"You punched me for that. I thought you forgave me," Billy says.

"I did. I'm laughing for the others," Raven says.

"I'm sure they'll punch me next time they see me," Billy says.

"You two are strange," Indra says.

"We could say the same about you," Billy says. Indra looks at them.

"Are you ready to go again?" Anya asks Billy, who nods as he gets in the stance Anya showed him. Billy and Anya move at each other again.

The dropship

Clarke was downstairs with the others. Bellamy comes down the stairs. Octavia looks at him. "How is she?" Bellamy asks.

"She'll be okay. Bellamy," Clarke says.

"Okay, Clarke, firm grip on the knife. You're gonna need to angle it upward and to the left very slightly to the left. As it exits the rib cage," Abby says.

"How very slightly?" Clarke asks as Bellamy and Wells pace around the bottom floor.

"3 millimeters, got it?" Abby asks her daughter.

"Yeah, okay, I got it," Clarke says. "Here it goes," Clarke says as she stares at one of the teens who have become family to her.

"Steady hand, Clarke. You've assisted me on trickier procedures than this and once that knife is out. The hard part is over," Abby says. They heard a rumble as the ship shakes slightly.

"All right. Extracting now," Clarke says as she grabs the knife. Bellamy watches with his hand in his hair. Clarke starts to pull when Emma groans.

"She's waking up," Bellamy says.

"Hold her still," Clarke says. Mia, Wells, and Bellamy hold her down. "Emma, I'm gonna get that knife out of you, okay?" Clarke asks.

"Good plan," Emma says

"Emma, you can't move. You got it?" Clarke asks. Emma nods as Clarke grabs the knife and goes. There was a shake that knocked everybody over as Clarke pulled the knife out. Bellamy goes over to Emma, who was on the ground.

"It's out. She did it," Wells says with a sigh. Bellamy goes upstairs.

"What the hell was that?" Claire asks.

"Storm damage. We're okay," Bellamy says.

"Emma?" Atom asks.

"She is too. Clarke got the knife out," Bellamy says. Murphy nods and smiles as Miller looks around Lincoln's stuff with Roy. Bellamy looks at Lincoln. "Has he said anything?" Bellamy asks Easten, who shakes his head. Miller grabs a book.

"Hey, check it out," Roy says. Bellamy walks over and grabs the book. Lincoln moves the chains.

"Looks like we found something he doesn't want us to see," Bellamy says. Lincoln looks at Claire.

"Bellamy, you don't want to look at that," Claire says. Bellamy opens the book. He sees the drawings.

"These aren't bad," Bellamy says. Bellamy opens the page to a drawing of Octavia. He looks at Lincoln. He opens another page and sees a bunch of lines. Six were marked out. There was also a drawing of their camp. "It's our camp. I'm guessing if I counted all those marks, it would add up to 103. Six are crossed out. That's how many people we've lost," Bellamy says as he looks at Claire. "This is what you didn't want me to see," Bellamy says. Claire nods. "They have been watching us since we landed," Bellamy says.

The Ark

Kane was in his home with Callie when there was a knock. He walks to the door and opens it. "Chancellor," Kane says.

"May I come in?" Jaha asks. Kane nods as he moves. Jaha walks in, and waves at Callie as Kane shuts the door. "Do you and Jake have a fix to our problem?" Jaha asks.

"We do. We'll talk about it at the meeting," Kane says.

"Emma was stabbed," Jaha says. Kane tenses as Callie stands up. "Abby told me she is doing okay. Clarke got the knife out. I know about her relation to Mr. Gray," Jaha says. "I also know about the supplies you had put on the dropship," Jaha says.

"How long have you known about Emma?" Callie asks.

"The same day, Billy found out. I have eyes everywhere, Kane. I knew about the supplies because of it," Jaha says.

"Why didn't you have Jake and I arrested?" Kane asks after a few moments.

"Because you may have broken the law. But you did it for the greater good. Both times. Emma is a help to the hundred from what Clarke and Finn told me. She has softened up Mr. Blake. The supplies have helped them with problems. I guess sometimes laws are meant to be broken," Jaha says. "I'll see you at the meeting," Jaha says as he leaves. Kane watches after him.

TonDc

Billy was sitting down with water in his hand. He had sweat dripping down his head as Anya came over. "Indra showed Raven some of the old technology that we found. She is having fun," Anya says. Billy smiles.

"Is that why I haven't seen her for like an hour?" Billy asks. Anya nods as she sits.

"You have impressed me," Anya says. Billy looks at her. "You have learned fast, and you would do anything to protect your people," Anya says.

"They are my family. If learning your ways is the way to make sure they leave. Then I'm okay with that," Billy says. Anya nods as she stands up.

"Time to get back to work then," Anya says. Billy nods as he stands up and follows her back to the training ring.

Short chapter, I know, but that is okay. Next time we deal with Lincoln more and how Bellamy is doing. This is fun to work with, and it will be fun going forward. As always, suggestions are welcomed. Until next time.
