Chapter 10
Miller, Harper, and Bryne walked into the cave. Bellamy looks at them. Sinclair walks in after them. Kane walks in next then Octavia and Kai.
Beth soon walked in, by herself. She was staring down at her sword and her ring. Everything inside of her was numb, broken almost.
He expected to see Lincoln by her side, He looks back at the entrance. Kane was staring at Bellamy as O stood next to Harper, Miller, and Bryan. Kai going into one of the cave corners, sitting there, anger in his eyes. Beth walks past her father. Bellamy looks at the entrance, again, waiting for Lincoln to walk in. But he never does. Beth takes off her jacket and drops her sword on the ground, looking around, numbly, at the stuff Lincoln had in his cave.
"Where's Lincoln?" Bellamy asks.
Beth turns and answers. "Pike put a bullet in his brain." She says, not looking at Bellamy. Beth starts crying again.
"Beth," Bellamy says. "Beth, I am so sorry."
"Shut up!" Beth yells, turning quickly and punches Bellamy. The others all look alarmed at the situation. Miller, Kai, and O stand up. Bellamy looks at Beth, seeing how angry, how broken she is. He knows she needs to let the anger out somehow.
She punches him again. And again as tears fell down her face. "Beth." Her father says.
Bellamy looks at Kane. "Kane, stay out of this." He says. Kane doesn't reply. Beth punches him again, he falls. Sinclair looks away from the girl beating up Bellamy.
She punches him again. His face becoming more bloody. She was crying as she hit him again. Kane walks away. She lifts up his head from the ground and kicks him. She pushes him against the wall. And punches him. He falls again.
Miller goes to walk forward. "Alright, that's enough." He says and goes to help pick up Bellamy. Beth pushes him. Bryan and Harper hold Miller up.
"Back off." Bellamy says to him, knowing the strawberry blond isn't done with what she started. He looks back at her and she lets out a scream of anger and punches him again. Octavia stands there watching as Beth did this to her brother. She thought her brother deserved it, so she didn't stop the redhead.
Beth punches him again and again. He falls. Harper looks away and Kane looks back at his daughter, from his stop on the rock he was sitting on. He wasn't gonna try and stop his daughter, knowing not to.
Bellamy looks up at Beth. "You are dead to me." She says to the boy who used to be like her big brother. His face was all bloody but she didn't care. He looks at Beth, hurt by her words.
Beth walks over to the entrance of the cave and sits by herself on a rock, about five feet from her dad. She was crying, sobbing into her hands. They all heard her. Octavia looks at her brother.
"Don't ever talk to me again." She tells him, angrily. She walks over to Beth and sits down next to her.
"He promised." Beth whispers, tears falling down her face.
"I know." O whispers back to her best friend.
"He promised me." She says, sobbing. Her father looks at her, along with the others. They see O hugging her, trying to comfort her. "He promised." Beth cried as Octavia held her in her arms. "He promised." She mutters, tears running down her face.
-----
"I say we run two men patrols around the clock starting now." Miller says.
Kane nods. "We'll do that but we should be safe here."
"We are safe here." Kai says.
"We're out of luck, Kane. Pike's started looking for us." Bellamy tells them. Beth rolls her eyes as she stared at her ring.
Bryan speaks up next. "Yeah, but are we safe from the blockade?" He asks the group.
"Who cares?" Beth mutters, no one hearing her besides Harper. The McIntyre girl gives Beth a sad look. Beth ignores the look, continuing to stare out at her ring.
Kane looks at his daughter before looking back at the group. "As long as we stay on this side of the line, we should be."
"They're grounders, you really think they're gonna play by the rules." Beth sends Bryan a glare.
Miller looks at his boyfriend. "Hey, Pike will want you dead now too. We take him out, we can go home."
"We take him out then the grounders lift the blockade." Harper says and Beth sighs, remembering the death of the commander that only happened a day or so ago.
"That's right. We become the thirteenth clan again. Those were the terms." Kane says to the girl.
"Lexa's dead," Beth says, causing the others to look at her. "She died the day I left Polis. The commander is dead." She says, tears forming in her eyes.
"Kane, those were Lexa's terms. She's dead, how do we know the next commander will honor them?" Sinclair asks the man.
"One problem at a time," Kane tells him.
"What about Clarke? With Lexa gone she's not safe in Polis." Miller says to the group.
"Clarke made a choice." Octavia says to the group.
Beth nods, agreeing. "The only thing that matters now is killing Pike." She says, wrapping an arm around her body, cold. Anger and pain in her voice. "He needs to die." She says.
"Beth's right. Once we resume our place in the commander's coalition, Clarke will be safe. So how do we do it?" He asks the group right before the radio does off.
"Bellamy come in. I'm in trouble. Please say you still have your radio." Monty's voice comes in.
Sinclair speaks before anyone could grab the radio to reply to Monty. "If we respond and Pike's listening-" Sinclair starts.
"Go to channel seven," Bellamy says to them. "Please say you still have your radio. That's seven words after the word trouble. It's code, go to seven." He tells them.
Monty's voice speaks through the radio again. "Bellamy are you there?"
"Monty, it's Kane. What's wrong?" Kane asks, after going to channel seven.
"Pike knows that I helped you get out." Monty says to the group.
Beth sighs. "Can you get to the dropship?" Kane asks the boy.
"I think so." Monty answers.
"Good, go there. I'll bring you in. Stay off the radio. Over now." Kane says to Monty through the walkie-talkie.
"Hold on, what if it's a trap and Pike's waiting?" Harper asks the man.
"That's why I'm going alone." Kane says, causing Beth to look up at him.
Beth shakes her head. "Like hell you are." Beth says, grabbing her sword, standing from her spot. "I'm not losing a third person I loved this week." She says, looking at her father.
"I'm with Octavia. Monty saved our lives I'm going too." Miller says to Kane.
Kane shakes his head. "No, you're not. If it is a trap, I'm not marching our entire insurgency into it."
"If you don't want us you're gonna have to kill us." Octavia says, gesturing to herself and Beth.
"They hope it's a trap." Bellamy speaks up.
"You're damn right I do. The only reason you're not dead is that you're Octavia's brother. Remeber that." Beth snaps at the man, who gives her a look of hurt, which she just ignores.
Octavia doesn't question what Beth had said but instead says, "He's coming too. We need a hostage to trade for Monty."
"It's a good plan. He stays chained and gags him." Kane says to Miller and Bryan.
"Sir, with all due respect-" Kane cuts Miller off. "He's the enemy. Do what I said."
Beth goes to walk out of the cave but Bellamy grabs her arm, trying to stop her. She quickly turns, holding her sword to the man's neck, an angry look plastered on her face. "I said I wouldn't kill you. But I will cut off your hands if you touch me again. Try and talk to me again and I will kill you. I don't care who the hell you are." She threatens. "Fraga." She mutters at him before walking out of the cave.
-------
Kane, Beth, and Octavia are bringing Bellamy to the dropship.
"Monty!" Kane yells, looking around. Beth looks around, feeling uneasy. "We got here first."
She shakes her head. "No, we didn't." She mutters before pulling out her sword.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Kane asks his daughter as Octavia pulls out her sword as well.
"Get outside! Now!" Beth yells up to the dropship.
Monty exits the dropship. Pike follows with a gun to his head. Beth's breathing hitches as she sees the man that killed her fiance just hours before. Beth takes a deep breath before giving the man an angry look as Monty speaks up.
"He followed me, I'm sorry." Monty says.
Beth nods at the boy. "It's not your fault Monty." She says to him. "Let him go, Pike!" She yells at the man, trying not to break the stone cold look on her face. The last thing she wanted this man to see was that she was vulnerable.
"I can't do that." Pike says, the gun still against Monty's head. "One at their feet. It's over, put down your weapons."
"Shoot him." Octavia says, wanting Pike dead.
"Monty's in the shot." Kane says.
"Come on, Marcus. I promised Monty's mother that I'd bring him home alive, don't make me a liar." Pike says to the man.
Kane lowers his gun. Beth sighs, not wanting Monty to die but also not knowing what to do as she still held her sword up high.
"Kane, no." Octavia says as he drops his weapon and puts his hands up.
"Now you." Pike says looking at the two girls. Beth glares at the man. Octavia puts a sword to Bellamy's throat as Beth points her- Lincoln's- sword at Pike.
"What are you doing?" Kane asks the two girls.
"One in the brunette's leg and one in the redhead's stomach." Pike suddenly says. Bellamy knocks over Octavia and Kane grabs Beth and her sword, pulling her closer to him as the rest of Pike's guards appear. "Hey, you don't look so good." Pike says to the Blake man.
"I'm fine." Bellamy says. Beth glares at him.
"You got about five seconds to make me believe you're still with me." Pike says to him.
Bellamy looks at the two girls then at Pike before speaking. "All the others are in a cave not far from here."
"You son of a bitch!" Beth yells. Octavia tries to run towards Bellamy but is shocked, knocking her down.
"Give me the coordinates." Pike says.
I don't have the coordinates, but I can take you there." Bellamy says, ignoring the glares from the two girls.
------
Bellamy is leading Pike who now has Monty, Beth, Octavia, and Kane prisoner. "You sure about the route? We're getting close to the blockade line." Pike says to Bellamy, who nods.
"That's why Kane set up out here. Didn't think we'd risk it." Bellamy tells the man.
"Well, he was wrong." Pike says to him.
Bellamy looks back at the two girls. "What's gonna happen to my sister? And Beth? I know they have to answer for their crimes but-"
"Tell you what, I'll make you the same promise I made Monty's mother. Immunity for all past actions but if Octavia screws up again-" Pike begins.
"Oh, she won't. I'll make sure of it. My sister, my responsibility." Bellamy says, cutting the man off. Bellamy sighs before asking, "And Beth? What happens to Beth?"
Pike looks back at the red-headed girl before looking at the Blake man. "She'll be locked up, but she will not be executed unless she screws up again."
"Why are you locking her up?" Bellamy asks her. "And letting Monty and Octavia free?" He wants to know why Pike would want to lock up Beth, why he would give the rest a free pass but keep Beth locked up.
Pike looks at the redhead before looking at Bellamy. "She's a risk. I just executed the love of her life. She's going to try and kill me if she gets the chance." Bellamy nods, sighing.
Beth glares at the two in front of the group, looking over at Octavia before sighing, looking back in front of her.
-------
Bellamy is still leading Pike."Hold on." Pike says, causing the rest to stop.
Bellamy looks at the man saying, "The cave's just on the other side."
"Keep a sharp eye out," Pike says. Beth smirks as the horn is heard. "The blockade! Back to higher ground!" Pike says and suddenly Bellamy raises his gun to the man.
"Drop your weapon!" Bellamy yells, aiming his gun at Pike.
"What the hell are you doing?" Pike asks him.
"Drop your weapon!" Bellamy yells once again.
Octavia knocks down two Arkadia guards as Beth knocks the other two down.
"We bring you Chancellor Pike of the Sky People. Beth, translate." Bellamy says.
"Oso lid in Yu Chancellor Pike Kom Skaikru." Beth calls out.
"You've killed us all," Pike says to the Blake man.
"Take him and lift this blockade."
" Hon daun em, lift Disha blockade!" Beth yells. "Ai laik Heda Leksa's Seken." She says. "Ai laik Beth Kom Skaikru!"
The three Arkadia guards are shot with arrows, killing them. The grounders come for Pike. Beth grabs one of the dead guard's weapons and charges towards Pike.
"Hey, hey no. The grounders are gonna need Pike alive. They didn't get justice for we won't get away with that again." Kane says to his daughter, grabbing her arm. Beth rolls her eyes but knows he is right.
"In that case." Pike says and charges for Beth but is shot in the shoulder with an arrow.
Beth nods at the man who did it. He nods back. "Yu is heda Leksa's Seken, Yu is still a Kyongedon en Yu still yu don Seken's flame." He says to her.
"Sha. Ai still yu don Seken's flame kom raun Ai." She nods, smirking lightly.
"Where are you taking him?" Kane asks the man.
"To the new commander." The man answers. Beth sighs, hearing there is already a new Commander.
"Chon ste brana Heda?" Beth asks the man.
He looks at her. "Ontari Kom Azgeda." He answers. Beth sighs, now knowing Aden is dead as well. She shakes her head, not wanting to deal with all the pain now.
"May I join you?" Kane asks the man and rolls up his sleeve to reveal the brand mark of the coalition. "We're the thirteenth clan."
The man nods. "Don't slow us down."
"Are you sure? We know nothing about the new commander." Monty says to Kane. Kane nods before saying. "I'm sure. Go home. Tell our people what happened here. Tell Abby... I'll look out for Clarke." Beth nods at her father.
Monty steps away and Kane walks towards Bellamy.
"Did you do this for your sister or because it was the right thing to do?" Kane asks Bellamy.
"You're welcome." Bellamy says to him, ignoring the man's question.
"It matters. Until you see that, you'll still be lost." Kane says to Bellamy.
"Dad." Beth stops Kane from walking. He looks at her. "Ontari's a bitch so be careful." She says to him. She walks over to him, pulling him into a hug. "Keep this with you." She hands him a knife. "I know you have your gun, but just in case." She sighs before saying. "I love you, dad."
"I love you too, Beth." He says to her before going to walk away. Beth turns around to walk to Octavia but Kane stops her. "Beth!" She looks back at him confused but walks back over. "Lincoln, wanted me to tell you something." Beth's breathing hitches but nods, sighing. "He told me to tell you he loved you." Tears well up in the girl's eyes. "But he also said to tell you 'a girl'."
"A girl?" She whispers, confused. She runs a hand through her hair.
"I don't know what he meant. I asked him but he said you would know soon." Kane tells her.
Beth sighs, nodding. "I'll figure it out." She tells him.
Kane nods and walks away following the grounders and Pike into the woods.
"My mom turned me in." Monty says.
"Your mom's a bitch, but you're family. You'll work it out." Beth says to him.
Beth looks at Bellamy but soon notices Gilmer is still alive. Knowing he was there when Lincoln died and had hurt Lincoln previously. Beth stabs him, killing him with her sword. "Jus drein jus daun!" She says before leading the way to Arkadia. "Let's get back before dark!" She yells out, not waiting for the rest as she continues walking, looking down at her ring, anger coursing her veins.
The love of her life was dead and she was heartbroken and angry.
------
So this chapter is complete. I feel like this chapter is really shitty. Welp. Anyway, I'm trying to get this book completed soon because I want to go into season 4. So expect a lot more updates soon. But, what did you guys think about this chapter? I really want to know what you guys think. Although, Beth did kill Shawn Gilmer (and will most likely kill a few more) she isn't gonna be Skairipa, that's Octavia. Beth has a lot more to worry about right now and you'll all learn more about it soon. Anyways, please, please comment guys. I wanna know what you all thought. Thanks for reading. Bye.
-Kelly.
