Radioactive {Octavia Blake fanfiction}

Chapter 12: We are grounders, part 2

"We're leaving" Jasper calls to Octavia and I

We're sitting on a log reminiscing about the care free days when we had just arrived which seems like it was years ago but it was really just a few weeks.

We hold hands as we start walking with the group towards the sea which is where Finn says we'll be safe.

Jasper, Octavia and I are leading the group when suddenly she brings everyone to a halt.

"What is it?" I ask her

"I heard something" she says looking around

"It's probably nothing" a kid next to jasper says

Something comes flying through the air and impales the kid in the face killing him instantly.

"Grounders!" Jasper yells

This sends us all back running to behind the walls of our camp.

"Are you happy now? You got your fight" Clarke says to Bellamy

"This is what we've been preparing for. Kill them before they kill us. Gunners, to your posts. Use the tunnels to get in and out. From now on, the gate stays closed." Bellamy commands

The gunners all run to their posts

A bunch of us head into the drop ship.

Finn and Bellamy place Ravens stretcher down on the ground and she sits up

"How much of the entrance is mined?" Bellamys asks

"About half of it, we could have done more if Murphy didn't waste all our gun powder" I say annoyed

"I also made a few grenades" Raven says pointing to a can sitting on the ground

"That's not very many" Clarke says after looking inside

"Again...thank you Murphy"

"What if they get through the gate?" Finn asks

"We hide in here, close the door and pray" Raven answers honestly

"Wait Raven you said there was rocket fuel under the ship right?" Clarke asks

"Yea but we have no gun powder left to build bombs" Raven tells her

"What if I don't want to build a bomb? What if I want to blast off?" Clarke asks Raven

"Barbequed grounders...I like it" Raven says

"So you can do it?" Clarke asks

"Hell yea" Raven responds

Clarke and I have been underneath the drop ship listening to Ravens instructions trying to hook up all the wires needed so we can blast off and burn the grounders.

"Clarke" Raven calls

"Yes?" she replies

"I can't feel my legs" Raven tells her

Clarke climbs back up leaving me under there still looking for the wire raven told us to find.

A few minutes later Clarke climbs back down.

"What's happening?" I ask her

"The bullets in her spine, Finns going to find Lincoln and see if he has anything that can slow the bleeding" she tells me

I start to hear shots being fired outside

"Did you find the orange wire yet?" Raven asks

"Yes, I'm just trying to find the end of it" I tell her
