We pull it shut behind us and I turn to see we're standing on stairs that go miles up and down the way from where we are.

Clarke is in awe at the stairs but I turn back to the door, grabbing the wires I know are connected to the card reader.

I snap them from the door and they spark, causing a loud zapping sound. The green light on the card reader turns red before dying off completely.

"Good job" Clarke praises me before running up the stairs.

"Holy hell" I grumble, chasing the blonde up the mountain of steps.

We finally reach the top and enter another large door, running down a corridor and sliding to a stop at the corner.

"Unauthorised access!" The woman on the speakers drones loudly.

I see a large round metal door that I assume leads us outside and I run towards it with Clarke on my tail.

She immediately grabs the lever, pulling it with all her strength but it doesn't budge.

"Clarke, hold on" I tell the girl.

I grab the wheel on the door, turning it around a couple times until it clicks loudly.

"Now" I say, turning to her.

She grabs the handle and gets ready to pull it but we're stopped.

"Clarke, no!" I hear Jasper shout.

I spin around to see Jasper and Maya looking at us.

"If you pull that lever, these people will die. Even a little radiation can kill them" Jasper explains and Maya runs off.

She comes back holding a rifle and points it at Clarke.

"Don't make me shoot" Maya snaps.

"Put the damn gun down!" I retort, standing in front of Clarke.

Jasper runs over to me and turns to Maya.

"Wait" He tells her before walking over to Clarke.

I glare at Maya fiercely and the girl's strong facade falters but her stance doesn't.

"Clarke, don't do this" Jasper begs her.

"I don't believe them" Clarke croaks and Maya lowers the gun.

"Why would they lie?" Jasper asks and I turn to see both of them with teary eyes.

"Listen to me. We are safe here, because of you. We're safe" Jasper assures her.

"Not all of us" Clarke whimpers.

I fired those rockets

I killed them

"Clarke, when you pulled that lever you saved lives. Don't throw that away by pulling this one" Jasper pleads.

There is a short silence between us before I hear running and guns cocking.
