Or Grounders

                                    

                                          
  Jasper darts towards us clearly looking for Monty. I put a single had on his shoulder like he did for me a few minutes ago. 
                          
  His face falls while he asks "Where's Monty?"
                          
  Clarke asks confused "Monty's gone?"
                          
  Finn says "Clarke, we need to leave, now. All of us do."
                          
  I ask anger starting to ignite inside me "What the hell are you talking about?"
                          
  Clarke avoids my question and says loudly "There's an army of grounders, unlike anything we've ever seen, coming for us right now."
                          
  Finn says "We need to pack what we can and run."
                          
  Bellamy steps up "Like hell we don't. We knew this was coming."
                          
  I join in and ask "Was all this preparation for nothing? Just so we can tuck our tails under our asses and run? Hell no! I say we stay and fight!"
                          
  Clarke grabs my arm and says "We're not prepared."
                          
  I jerk my arm out of her grip. Of course little miss princess would choose to ignore my comment.
                          
  I shoot back "Where would we even go? There is nowhere safer than behind these walls."
                          
  Clarke answers "There is an ocean to the East. People there will help us."
                          
  Octavia says with hope in her eyes "You saw Lincoln."
                          
  Clarke smiles and nods. I look over at Bellamy and he rolls his eyes clearly annoyed with the situation that was taking place.
                          
  He asks "You expect us to trust a grounder? This is our home now. We built this from nothing with our bare hands! Our dead are buried behind that wall, in this ground! Our ground! The grounders think they can take that away. They think that because we're from the sky, we don't belong here,"
                          
  He stops and scans the crowd before continuing "But they're yet to realize one important fact. We are on the ground now, and that means we're grounders."
                          
  I yell into the chaos "Grounders with guns!"
                          
  He smiles and yells "Damn right! I say let them come."
                          
  I say "Bellamy is right. If we leave, we may never find a place as safe as this. And God only knows, in this world, we could be forced to deal with something ten times worse tomorrow."
                          
  Finn replies "But that doesn't change the simple fact that if we stay here, we will die tonight. So pick up your things. Just take what you can carry, now."
                          
  Everyone scurries off to their tents and I walk into the drop ship fuming. 
                          
  I gave a perfectly good speech but as soon as space walker and princess say one damn thing they all go running to them. Damn him and Clarke.
                          
  I hear groaning and I look over to see Raven on the ground. I give her a once over and she is bleeding because of a bullet wound.
                          
  I shush her before I yell "Ravens in here! She's been shot!"
                          
  Clarke, Finn, and Bellamy all rush in. Clarke drops to Ravens side and examines her.
                          
  Bellamy says "Clarke, leaving here is a mistake."
                          
  She shoots back "The decisions been made."
                          
  He says pleadingly "Crowds make bad decisions. Just ask Murphy. Leaders do what they think is right."
                          
  She replies quietly "I am."
                          
  Clarke wraps a piece of cloth around Raven's mid section while she continues to groan in agony.
