Second Chances ▹ Bellamy Blake

Chapter 19. Gone

"Her name is Tris", Anya says referring to the young girl Clarke is trying to save.

"I can't do this", Clarke says, "I don't have any equipment."

Well she better freaking save this girl because I refuse to die, especially now. "We'll provide you with what we can", Anya says.

She kind of scares me honestly. She's so... serious. Lighten up. Ever heard of poison sumac? "Why do you think I can save her?", Clarke asks.

"Lincoln told her", Finn says, and how he knows that is beyond me.

"Yes", she says, "our healer is gone. There is nothing we can do for her. For his sake, I hope you can."

Wow, she actually sounded genuine. That's a first. "Clarke", Finn says and she turns towards us, "you can do this."

She then looks at me and I look at Finn and he motions me to encourage her, "well I don't want to die, so you better do this", I say and look over at Finn and he rolls his eyes.

"What it's true", I say.

Clarke looks over at the girl and I do too. She looks so young. I wonder what happened. Her injury looks serious, I can't even start to guess what happened. Because honestly, with grounders, it could be anything.

"Wait. What happened to her?", Clarke asks for me.

"She was on the bridge when your bomb exploded", Anya says and I can feel my heart drop to the floor.

We did this to her. This is our fault. I thought we just blew up a bridge. As in a bridge with no grounders on it.

Anya comes back with a bag of tools and lays it on the ground for Clarke. Tris starts choking and we all look up, "she's getting worse", Finn points out.

"Help me lift her up", Clarke says and Finn and I stand up and help Clarke lift the girl up to breathe.

I look at her and see she's struggling to breathe so I put my ear on her side to see if I hear anything. And I hear nothing, no sign of air traveling on her left side. "I don't think anything's moving on the left side", I point out and Clarke checks.

"There's fluids pressing on her lungs", Clarke says, wow I would not have thought of that.

"I see no entry wounds", Finn says, and he's right.

No entry wound, but there's fluids. "Trama", I say and they look at me, "well the force of the explosion from the bomb must have hit her in the chest."

"She's drowning in her own blood", Clarke says and she rushes to the kit to get something.

At least I helped. Sort of. 

"Nice call Quinn", Finn says and I nod. All I'm focused on is saving this girl so I can live. And Finn too I guess. Even though him and Clarke were going to leave me for dead. Which I will never let them forget.

Clarke grabs a needle and starts heating it over a fire, "I need a tube of some kind. Something ridged the size of my finger", she says.

I look around but I don't see anything that resembles what Clarke described, "here", a grounder says and hands Finn a tube.

Clarke then makes a small cut in the girl's rib, most likely to help drain the blood and she sticks the tube in. "What have you done?", Anya shouts walking up to us.

"N- no you don't understand", I say trying to explain, "she couldn't breathe." and Anya pushes against my arrow wound and I let out a scream and stumble back, grabbing my shoulder.

Next thing I know Clarke ends up on the ground beside me, "hey back off!", Finn shouts and a grounder grabs him and throws him on the ground along with us.
