twelve ♔what would juniper green do?

As Clarke merely attended to Finn's wounds, Raven was finally able to get contact with the Ark. Juniper sighed with relief because she just wanted to talk to her Dad. They did not know how long contact was going to last as there was a hurling storm outside.

"Mom, I need your help. One of our people was stabbed by a Grounder." Clarke begged as she spoke into the microphone.

"Clarke. This is the Chancellor. Are you saying there are survivors on the ground?" Jaha asked from the other end of the speaker. Juniper hugged onto Raven from behind as she started to cry, they finally had contact from the Ark.

"Yes, the Earth is survivable. We're not alone." Juniper laughed through the radio with excitement and then Juniper heard the voice of her Dad.#

"Juni, I thought-" Juniper heard her dad and she welled up in a big smile. 

"They needed bands to try get a signal with you all. Clarke and I volunteered." Juniper explained the truth in some fashion. Clarke took the radio back, she was more focused on Finn than anything else.

"Mom, he's dying. The knife is still in his chest." Clarke pleaded and Jaha came on to the radio as Abby was patched through to medical.

"Clarke, Juniper. Is my son with you?" Jaha asked and Juniper looked up at Clarke who was just saddened. They both took a pause before Juniper took the radio from Clarke, Clarke could simply not face him. You could not judge her for it, she was hurting and did not need that on top of Finn.

"I'm so sorry. Wells is- Wells is dead." Juniper stated as her force wobbled a little bit. Then it went dead from Jaha and Abby came on the line.

"I'm going to talk you through it, step by step." Abby instructed and Juniper sighed with relief. They were going to get help. But with the dropship creaking and the wind bustling against the dropship, for how long? "Clarke... just... find-" Abby said as her voice came in and out. But the storm was finally affecting their radio connection. 

"What! Raven what's wrong." Clarke shouted as she looked at Raven rushing towards the radio to try fix it. 

"It's not the radio, it's the storm." Raven answered panicked and Juniper walked over to Finn and held his hand. 

"Clarke, we need to hurry." Abby instructed and Clarke nodded her head as she walked back over to Finn. Octavia came hurling through the dropship carrying two canisters. Clarke took one and looked at Octavia. She smelt the canister before giving it to Juniper to smell.

"Ugh. Monty's moonshine?" Juniper asked with a disgruntled face. Octavia nodded as she allowed a smile to creep up her face. 

"Pretty sure no germ could survive it." Octavia commented and Juniper nodded her head comically. The storm grew and so did the sound. The three girls looked towards the dropship's door.

"Storm's getting worse. Monroe, close the doors." Clarke instructed and Juniper shook her head as she looked at Clarke.

"But we still have people out there." Monroe replied.

"Monty and Jasper still aren't back yet." Octavia added and Juniper looked at Clarke in the eyes.

"Neither is Bellamy." Juniper whispered and Clarke gave Juniper a reassuring smile. She knew that they would be able to survive that storm.

"It's okay, they'll find somewhere to ride it out." Clarke promised before Raven made a noise to get Clarke's attention before holding out a needle.

"One stitching needle." Raven said as she showed them the needle. Clarke smiled as she took the needle from her.

"Great, I still need something to close the wound." Clarke added and Octavia knew the solution.

"There's so wire on the second level. I used it for the tents." Octavia stated and Clarke nodded her head.

"Let's see it." Clarke said and Octavia walked away to find the wire.

"Stay away from the blue wires that run through the ceiling. I rigged it to the solar cells in the roof. " Raven said loudly so that Octavia would hear. Octavia was halfway up the ladder when she stopped. "That means they're hot! You got that?" Raven added and Octavia nodded her head.

"Yeah, I got that." Octavia replied before she continued to walk up the ladder till she was on the second floor. Raven looked at the girls before looking at Clarke directly.

"Tell me you can do this." Raven pleaded and Clarke looked at the girls but did not answer. Truth was she did not know herself. Then they heard a commotion near the door, Bellamy walked in with Miller and Myles. They were both holding onto a grounder.

"The hell are you doing?" Octavia asked as she jumped down the stairs. That must have been the grounder that captured her. 

"It's time to get some answers." Bellamy explained and Juniper edged closer to the siblings, who were next to the grounder.

"Oh you mean 'revenge?" Octavia asked snarky and Bellamy shook his head.

"I mean 'intel'." He answered before turning to the boys who were carrying the grounder. "Get him upstairs." He instructed and the boys did what they were told. Juniper got closer to them and pleaded with Bellamy.

"Bellamy, she's right." Juniper insisted as she walked up to Bellamy. Bellamy looked down at her angry as he heard weird noises in the background.

"Clarke, okay we're ready. Can you hear me?" Abby asked frantically from the radio. Bellamy looked up at the radio, surprised, he did not think that they were going to be able to get it working. Clarke looked away with a bothered expression, whilst Juniper kept her eyes on Bellamy.

"Look, this is not who we are." Clarke spoke up as she looked at Bellamy. He seemed tense as he clenched his jaw even more.

"We are not seriously going to torture him." Juniper stated with a faint cynical laugh but Bellamy stayed silent.

"It is now." He stated coldly before he walked up the ladder with everyone else. Octavia followed after him. Whilst, Juniper stayed with Clarke who was stitching up Finn's wound with the wire that Octavia had given her. Juniper could still not settle with the fact that somebody was being tortured above them.

"Ok, I'm done." Clarke stated as she looked at her handy work.

"Good. Do you have anything to cover the wound?" Abby asked from the other end of the radio. Clarke looked at the radio as she spoke.

"We'll make do, like always." Clarke answered and Juniper nodded her head.

"Should he be this pale?" Raven asked and Juniper noticed it to. He was extremely white and sweating.

"He's lost a lot of blood Raven, but if your boyfriend is anywhere near as tough as you I'm sure he'll be fine." Abby explained as Clarke inspected Finn some more, checking his temperature and breathing.

"Wait, mom, she's right. He's feverish and his breathing is uneven." Clarke explained getting more panicked. 

"You need to give him some time to recover. Let me know if he gets any worse but I think he might just be out of the woods." Abby reassured and Juniper laughed at her word choice, bit ironic.

"Well down here there's nothing but woods." Juniper joked and Clarke gave her a faint smile before she stood away from the table.

"I need a break." Clarke stated and Juniper nodded her head before she looked over at the ladder.

"I'm going to see what Bellamy is doing with the grounder." Juniper stated as she climbed up the ladder to get to the level that Bellamy was on. Miller was blocking her entrance which just fueled Juniper's anger.  "Get the hell out of my way." Juniper barked before she heard Bellamy's calm but demanding voice.

"It's ok. Let her through." Juniper climbed up the ladder before she saw that the grounder was tied up, bruised and bloody.

"Well if he didn't hate us before, he does now." Juniper sighed as she walked up to the grounder. He tried to move his face away but Juniper calmed him down.

"Who cares?" Bellamy retorted and Juniper just ignored him, she was too busy trying to figure out if the Grounder had a concussion or if he was badly hurt. "How's Finn?" Bellamy asked.

"Alive." Juniper stated as she turned around to face Bellamy. "His people will care! How long until they found out where we're keeping him? And what happens when they do, I mean when they come looking for him. They will, Bellamy." Juniper lectured him as she walked closer to him.

"Relax, Princess. No one saw us take him. He was chained up in that cave the whole time and thanks to the storm you couldn't see a soul on the way back." Bellamy answered as he placed a hand on Juniper's lower arm, but Juniper moved it away. He opened up a journal, looked like it belonged to the grounder. "In case you missed it. His people are already killing us. How many more of our people need to die before you realize we're fighting a war." Bellamy added and Juniper scoffed as she shook her head.

"We're not soldiers, Bellamy. Look at him, we can't win." Juniper stated as she pointed to the Grounder. 

"You're right we can't, if we don't fight." Bellamy replied and Juniper shook her head just as Clarke came running up the ladder. 

"He poisoned the blade! All this time he knew Finn was going to die no matter what we did!" Clarke shouted before she walked over to the Grounder. Juniper placed two fingers at the bridge of her nose before she sighed. "What is it?! Is there an antidote?" Clarke asked frantically. 

"Clarke he doesn't understand you." Juniper answered for the Grounder. Clarke whipped around to face Juniper.

"You'd have to stupid to have a poison around this long with an antidote." Clarke before she looked at the grounder. "Which one?" Clarke asked and the grounder stayed quiet.

"Answer the question!" Bellamy demanded, before Octavia spoke up from the back of the room.

"Show us, please." Octavia begged as she moved closer to the Grounder. Octavia had grown a bond with him.

"Which one? Our friend is dying down there and you can stop that!" Clarke asked as Bellamy stood forward aggressively. 

"I'll get him to talk!" Bellamy shouted just as Juniper stood in between Bellamy and the Grounder. Juniper had to do everything in her power to try figure out a different way to get the Grounder to talk. 

"Bellamy no!" Juniper shouted and Bellamy moved right past her despite Juniper's efforts. Juniper walked over to Clarke with pleading eyes. "Clarke you even said it yourself, this is not who we are." Juniper cried out.

"He wants Finn to die, why can't you see that?" Bellamy said to Juniper with anger in his eyes. Juniper had too much of a kind soul to survive down here. "Do you want him to live of not?" Bellamy asked Clarke and Juniper's heart sank to the ground as she shook her head at Bellamy.

"He was protecting me, he saved my life! You can't do this." Octavia protested as she walked over to where Juniper was standing. 

"We're talking about Finn's life!" Bellamy shouted back at her before he looked at Clarke with pleading eyes. 

"Do it." Clarke whispered and Bellamy used the knife to rip the grounder's shirt.

"Show us the antidote or you'll wish you had." Bellamy stated over Octavia and Juniper's protests. Clarke was too scared to look at Juniper so she kept her eyes on the grounder. Bellamy stood back and whipped the grounder with the torn seatbelt. Juniper winced as she ran over to the antidotes on the floor.

"Please." Juniper begged as she pointed to the vials. "Which one's the antidote?" Juniper asked as the Grounder winced in pain.

"Just tell them." Octavia begged but it was no use, the grounder was giving up nothing. Juniper knew she could not save him if he did not talk.

"Juniper." Bellamy whispered as he placed a hand on her shoulder. Juniper shrugged it off before she walked over to where Octavia was. She winced when she heard the next stroke of Bellamy's makeshift whip slap against the grounders bare skin.

"Enough!" Octavia shouted loudly and everybody stopped. 

"Clarke! He's getting worse!" Raven shouted from down the ladder. Clarke panicked as she walked up to the grounder.

"We're running out of time. Which one? Which one is it? If you tell us they'll stop! Please, tell us which is the antidote and they'll stop this!" Clarke shouted fast to the grounder as she looked down at the vials. The grounder still said nothing so Bellamy brought out a knife.

"You guys do not have to stay." Bellamy said to the girls as Clarke joined them. Juniper scoffed as she raised an eyebrow.

"We are not leaving till we know the grounder is safe and Finn has the antidote." Juniper answered as Clarke gave her sympathetic eyes. Juniper wanted to hate Clarke for what she was allowing, but Juniper could not lie and say that she would not do anything to make sure that Bellamy lived, if he was ever in that situation.

"If that doesn't work, maybe this will." Bellamy said showing the grounder his knife. "Last chance." Bellamy whispered and the grounder said nothing. So, in return, Bellamy stabbed him through the hand. He groaned in pain as Bellamy took the knife out of him.

"What's taking so long?" Raven asked as she climbed up the ladder to join the rest of them. "He stopped breathing." Raven said panicked and Juniper shook her head.

"What?!" Clarke asked as she started to cry. 

"He started again but next time he might not." Raven explained and Juniper was just glad that Finn was no dead. 

"He won't tell us anything." Clarke added and Raven raised an eyebrow as she walked over to the wires next to the Grounder.

"Wanna bet?" Raven asked as she pulled two electrical wires from the socket. Juniper looked at Octavia, who also had no idea what was going on.

"What are you doing?" Bellamy asked as Raven rubbed the wires together so sparks came off. 

"Showing you something new." Raven answered bluntly before she shocked the grounder. Juniper jumped in shock as she watched the Grounder groan in pain. "Which one is it? Come on" Raven screamed over Juniper's protests. The grounder said nothing and Raven shocked him again, it had to be something that he had never felt before. "He's all I have!" Raven cried out in tears. Octavia finally stood up.

"NO!" Octavia screamed as loud as she ever had before. She was not going to let them hurt her grounder anymore.

"He's letting Finn die!" Raven screamed just as Octavia took the knife and slit her arm open. Bellamy looked at her, he was scared, he did not want to lose his sister.

"Octavia, no!" Bellamy shouted over at her and Octavia looked at him with reassurance.

"He won't let me die." Octavia explained as the blood poured out of her cut. The grounder looked the most scared that he has ever looked when he saw Octavia's deep cut.

"Octavia." Bellamy stated angrily and Juniper walked up to him. 

"It's okay, she's right." Juniper reassured Bellamy, even though she did not want to go near him. How could he do that to a person, how could Raven do that to a person? But I guess you need to be in that situation to understand. Octavia fell down in front of the vials. 

"This one?" Octavia asked with pleading eyes. The grounder just shook his head in response. Juniper sighed with relief, it was working. Octavia lifts another vial towards the grounder and he nodded his head. That was it, they had found the solution for Finn. Juniper took the vial and handed it to Clarke whilst Octavia stayed with the grounder.

"Thank you." Clarke stated and Juniper just looked right through her. Clarke knew that Juniper was annoyed at everybody in the room, bar Octavia.

Juniper watched as Bellamy reached out for Octavia but she walked away from him. Octavia had the right idea with the way that Bellamy was acting. Bellamy sighed as he walked over to Juniper, thinking he could get some moral support from her.

"He's just a person." Juniper sighed as she looked away from Bellamy. She slowly walked away and down the ladder. She saw them treating Finn, but she could not look at them. They took it too far this time.
