So it just seemed a little off to me that Roan (or any Grounder) would take prisoners but not touch them. That doesn't follow what we know about Grounders, even Roan. The first part is Bellamy, but the rest is entirely Kane's POV (3rd person limited, present tense). I'm not entirely sure about this one, but it was interesting to think about the possibilities. And while I do try to stay true to the Bellarke relationship as the show gives it, season four has dragged it out in a sort of unrealistic way, so anything in this story (though subtle) is meant to feel more realistic.

Know that the rest of the chapters don't sound like this one, because of the POV shift, so if you didn't like this, maybe give it one more page *please* :)

Always appreciative of a review! Enjoy!

Bellamy stands next to Kane, empty. His wrists and ankles are shackled, but he can't bring himself to care.

"They'll be caught completely off guard," Kane hisses. "Nearly everyone in Arkadia is working on the Ark."

Bellamy knows he should care. Knows if Kane is right, women, children, everyone is in danger. Hadn't he said something important before he left about coming back? The List. They'd made the List, he and Clarke, but mostly Clarke.

Except now there is an open spot. His sister's spot. And Bellamy can't bring himself to care about anything except that empty lifeless name. Octavia. His sister, his responsibility.

"Is there any way we can warn them?" Kane asks. "Someone we can send?"

He'd failed. Again. Only this time…this time he doesn't get another try. Octavia. Gone. It was a good death, they'd said. Well—

"We can't just stand here."

"Shut up and listen to the King of Azgeda," Bellamy snarls.

He, of course, recognizes only his name as Roan speaks. He hadn't picked up Grounder the way Octavia had, and at the moment he really isn't trying to understand it anyway. His mind isn't in Polis at all.
