I'm really sorry. I got really stuck on this chapter and I didn't feel like writing much over summer. Also I've just started my third and last year of university so I can't promise how quickly I can update again but I'm begging you to stay with me I think I've figured out where I'm going. I hope you like this chapter.


Clarke was stood outside of Jasper's room glaring at the guards that where stopping her from going in. Behind her Miller was stood with his arms crossed while Monty hovered at his side.

"What do you mean I can't go in there?! My friend is in there, I want to see if he is alright! What are you doing to him?!" Clarke shouted.

"Miss Griffin will you please go back to the dorms," replied one of the guards calmly.

"No! I will NOT go back to the dorms while my friend is lying in a hospital bed."

The doctor came out of the door at that point and took in the scene. She sighed knowing Clarke was not going to back down.

"You may go in to see him."

Clarke pushed passed her with Miller and Monty close behind. Jasper looked pale lying in the hospital bed, he tried a weak smile at his three friends but it did not look very convincing. The smile dropped off his face when Clarke exclaimed, "What have they done to you?!"

"Maya needed my blood. It was the only way. The usual treatment would not have worked it was too late." Jasper tried to explain.

"Great," Clarke muttered under her breath, "Our blood works better and now they know!" She got confused looks off the three boys in the room until Miller's changed into horror when he understood.

Miller turned to the doctor, "Can we please have a minute alone please." The doctor looked unsure so Miller continued "We are like a … family and it's not as if you can't keep an eye on us." Miller gestured to the camera in the corner after finding the best word to describe them.

Dr Tsing looked surprised for a second that they had figured out how closely the people of Mount Weather where monitoring them. She quickly hid it a fake smile crossed her face, "Of course." She exited the room closing the door. There were still guards stood outside.

"You shouldn't have done that Jasper," Clarke said as quietly as she could.

"Why? What was I meant to do let her die?"

"It's dangerous!"

"Clarke… I'm seriously worried about you."

"Jasper," Miller growled "Listen to Clarke."

"I did the right thing," Jasper hissed.

Clarke sighed and shook her head, "Fine." She whipped around and stormed out of the room followed by Miller who scoffed. Monty stood for a few seconds staring at Jasper before he frowned at him and went after Clarke and Miller.


Monty ran up the corridor, "Clarke, Miller wait!"

They turned to wait for him as he caught up. He grabbed Clarke's arm and pulled her close so he could talk quietly.

"What did you mean about our blood and it being better?" Monty asked urgently.

"They have Grounders locked up," Miller replied jumping right into it.

"Nathan!" Clarke hissed.

"He needs to know. He can help."

Clarke sighed "Not in the corridor."

They made their way back to the dorm room and to Clarke and Miller's bunk. There was a radio next to it and before anyone spoke Miller turned it on, turning the volume up.

"The treatment for radiation is Grounder blood. They have Grounders in cages, then they hang them upside down and drain them until their out of blood," explained Clarke.

Monty looked horrified, "And they have just found out our blood works as well," he said weakly.

Clarke frowned "Actually it works better Jasper said that the normal treatment wouldn't work meaning it was too late for Grounder blood but not for ours."

Miller's head dropped into his hands "What are we going to do?"

"We need to break into the President's office and get Anya out of that cage."

Monty and Miller both looked at Clarke like she was crazy.

"Okay we can't tell Jasper but we may need help," Monty sighed.

"Leave it to me but plan how you're getting into the President's office. We need to do it tonight," Miller said as he stood to survey the room deciding who to talk to.


Bellamy was feeling extremely uncomfortable; he and Octavia had been allowed to go to the meeting with the Grounders mainly because it was Octavia's idea. They were still treating them like children who had no clue how to live on Earth when they were the ones with the experience. However, the Grounders were more receptive of the Blake siblings than the adults causing Kane and Abby to glare at them both. Normally this would have made Bellamy incredibly smug but all he could think of was that this was Clarke's job. He was happy to let Octavia handle it, she knew Indra and it seemed that once the Grounder woman got past her hatred of the sky people, she respected Octavia. The Commander that Indra had brought them to was young and the look on her face was colder than Anya.

"Octavia of the Sky People, you wish to make an alliance." It was a statement not a question though Octavia would not have been able to answer it anyway. "Why should we make an alliance what good will it bring us?"

Bellamy resisted glaring at the young woman sitting in her throne, glaring did not make friends.

"You have fought against the Mountain Men for years, together we would have a better chance," Octavia reasoned.

"While rescuing your friends? Do not forget that you burnt 300 of my people."

At that Bellamy could not stay quiet, "We were defending ourselves."

Lexa's eyebrow rose as her gaze flicked towards Bellamy, "You were invaders on our land. I will consider an alliance but I would need something more, like if there are any of my people in there like your people."

Bellamy and Octavia exchanged a glance. They had not seen any Grounders on the screens.

Bellamy was walking next to Octavia, he quickly checked around him to see if anyone was listening.

"I don't trust the Commander," he said quietly.

Octavia hummed in response so Bellamy continued "There is something not right. She is too calm I would rather deal with Anya."

Again there was no answer for a few moments "We won't have to worry about an alliance with her if we can't find any Grounders. We need to speak to them inside the Mountain, see where the Grounders are," Octavia ended with a sigh.

"Raven's working on it."


Breaking into Dante's office was easier said than done though the plan went off without a hitch, they were criminals after all. Miller had even managed to steal a tablet to copy information on to. Luckily there was no camera in his office. Clarke had thought this was strange but then if they were draining Grounders of blood then there might be decisions made in the office that they did not want on camera. They left Harper watching by the door as Miller and Clarke started going through draws. Miller was trying to place things back in the same places so it was not obvious while reminding Clarke to do the same. Monty had made a line for the computer and was currently hacking into their systems.

"Er guys…" Clarke and Miller stopped, giving their attention to Monty. "Someone else is trying to get through the firewall from outside Mount Weather."

"How can you tell?" Clarke asked then as Monty opened his mouth to explain she raised a hand "On second thought it doesn't matter. Can you help them?"

"Yes just give me one minute."

Clarke and Miller watched Monty on the computer before a grin appeared on his face. "Wait one more moment." He then messed with the tablet moving everything on to there. "We have their system and we can talk to whoever is out there," a sly grin came over his face "and Mount Weather cannot detect either of us."

Clarke and Miller stared at him for a moment before "Monty I could kiss you!" slipped out of Miller's mouth. Both boys went bright red.

"Monty can you ask whoever is out there if they are the Ark please?" asked Clarke with a small grin on her face.

"Yeah but let's get back to the dorms, here Clarke hide the tablet in your jacket."

After the tablet was safely inside Clarke's jacket the three of them grabbed Harper and made there way back to the dorms.


The dorms were quite, everyone was in the rec room and the four of them made their way to Clarke and Miller's bunk sitting on Miller's bottom bunk. Monty turn on the radio as Clarke passed him the tablet.

"Can they see us?" asked Harper.

Monty held one finger up as he typed on the tablet, "No Clarke's bed is blocking the view."

"So can you see who you just let into Mount Weather's system because I'm pretty sure the Grounders don't have the technology to hack into a computer system? In fact I don't think many people can do that," Clarke said.

Monty froze in the middle of typing giving Clarke a startled look, "You think Raven did this."

They were all silent for a few moments before Monty's fingers flew across the screen. He put the tablet in the middle of the bed so they could all see it. Monty clicked send and the message that both Clarke and Harper were attempting to read upside down went. On one side of the screen while they were waiting for a reply there was a split screen showing four different camera angels. Monty was flicking through different cameras as a message appeared.

This is the Ark, thank you for helping us through that last firewall Monty.

Monty frowned, How did you know it was me?

Who else is smart enough to do that. Well beside me.

Raven?

Yep

Relief went through the four sat on the bed as Clarke grabbed the tablet.

What about Bellamy, Finn? Any of the others we are missing quite a few.

Bellamy and Finn are alive along with Octavia, Monroe and Sterling. The Ark is down here too. Clarke's mom made it.

Clarke breathed a sigh of relief she was not yet sure of where she and her mother stood but at least she was alive.

We need to figure out how we are getting out?

We'll think of something, anything we need to know?

As they fill the Ark in the camera screens kept flicking through different ones. Suddenly Miller froze.

"Clarke, isn't that Octavia's Grounder?"

Clarke's eye flew to the screen. He was in a dimly light room strapped to a bed; he was thrashing around on the bed trying to get free.

"Lincoln," Clarke breathed.

The four on the bed exchanged a look, another name to add to the list of people they needed to save.
