At a clearing.
Bellamy "Rover's almost charged. We need to pack up. We'll be home soon. "
Clarke "Then what, run away? "
Bell shook his head "We're not running away, Clarke. We need to regroup with the others, and find another way to defeat... "
Clarke "There is no other way. We need to find a Nightblood. We need to unlock the Flame. It's the only way to stop A.L.I.E. "
Jasper "What do you expect us to do, Clarke, walk into random villages asking for their Nightbloods? "
Clarke nodded "If that's what it takes. "
O. shook her head "No, Clarke. If A.L.I.E. can find us on Luna's rig, then she can find us anywhere. I won't help you destroy another innocent Grounder village. "
Clarke "If we don't find a Nightblood, there won't be any Grounder villages or a home for us to go back to. "
Bell "That's all the more reason we go there and make sure our friends are ok. "
Clarke sighed, nodding before walking away.
Jasper " She'll be fine. Just let her cool off. "
I looked at the chip in my hand "i still have the chip. So, she'll have to come back"
-
I was in the woods.
Suddenly i heard a groan and turned around. A ground fell to the ground, dead.
Roan stood behind him.
My jaw dropped "Roan?"
Roan"Looks like I'm not the only one who's been following your tracks. "
Then he grabbed the chip from me.
Me "give me that back"
I went to reach for it but he moved away.
Roan "Good-bye, princess. "
Me "Would you just hear me out? I need to find a Nightblood to put that in."
Roan turned around to walk away " I already have a Nightblood to put it in. "
I yelled "Roan!"
Roan turned to me " Because of you, Ontari never ascended, so, no, I won't stop, not until the Ice Nation has its Commander. "
Suddenly i heard a gun cock.
Bellamy aimed his gun at Roan "You were saying? Hands where I can see them. "
Roan held his hands up.
Bell shot me a quick glance "Mel?"
I nodded "i'm okay"
Roan "Then let's go."
Me " He's coming with us. "
Bell scoffed "The hell he is"
Roan " Why would I do that? "
Me "Because we both want the same thing... to put the Flame in Ontari. "
Bellamy "How do you know he's not chipped?"
Me " If he were, do you think i would still be breathing ?"
Bellamy "Still, we need to be sure. "
Then he shot him in the arm and then knocked him out.
I shot Bellamy a look.
Bellamy "Now we're sure. "
At Arkadia. night.
Raven smiled " Glad you made it back. We were getting worried."
She froze " Where's Luna? "
Clarke "Luna said no. "
She looked at Roan "Who the hell is this?"
Brian " He's Ice Nation. "
Me "King of the Ice Nation, actually, and he's our way into Polis. "
Bellamy "This way, Your Highness. You two, on me. We'll take him to lockup. "
Then they walked him away.
Raven "You want to use him to get to Ontari. "
I nodded.
Clarke "smart idea "
I nodded "i know"
Harper "What happened to his arm? "
Jasper "Bellamy got jealous and shot him."
Monty said amused " Good luck getting him to cooperate. "
Me "I'll talk to him. "
Clarke shook her head "no, Mel-"
Me "what? he requested to see me at Polis. but i didn't go. There's obviously a reason he wanted me there. if he took an interest in, i can use that"
Clarke nodded "okay"
At the cell.
Me "you gonna open the cell for me?"
Bellamy shook his head "no, let Clarke talk to him"
Me "why? because you wouldn't shoot him because of Clarke? because you wouldn't get jealous of him?"
Bellamy shook his head "i didn't get jealous"
I nodded "you did, Bell. which is funny because i can't remember us getting back together"
Bellamy rolled his eyes.
Me "now open the damn door and give us some privacy"
Bellamy sighed and opened the door.
I walked in and over to Roan who was sitting on a bench.
They had wrapped up his arm.
Me "That guy out there is sorry about your arm"
Roan just nodded.
Me "we need each other, Roan"
Roan "Cut to the chase, Melissa. You said we wanted the same thing. I want an Ice Nation Commander. "
Me "And I can give you one with this."
Roan " And why would you do that when you know she's vowed to wipe you out?"
I shook my head " We don't have a choice. This isn't just our war. The enemy we're up against is after everyone, including the Ice Nation. The only way to stop her is to get the information off the Flame, and the only way to do that is to put it in Ontari's head. "
Roan shook his head "The Ice Nation isn't afraid."
I nodded "i know, but you should be. This thing doesn't care what clan you're from. It controls people, and it will take over the Ice Nation just like it took us over, one person at a time until there is no one left."
Roan didn't seem like he cared.
Me " It already has Ontari, Roan"
Roan nodded " I'm listening. "
Me "We need to disconnect her before she gets the Flame, or we'll be giving A.L.I.E. exactly what she wants. To do that, we have to abduct her from the center of a city filled with thousands of people who's minds are linked, all of them thinking as one. Whatever one sees, they all see. Whatever one hears, they all hear."
Roan nodded " I get it."
then he stood up " So when do we leave? "
In the garage.
Miller "Knockout gas, Mount Weather's finest. As soon as they bring Ontari out, we put them to sleep. "
Bell nodded "Nice."
Raven " Because she's chipped, you'll have to EMP her like you did me before you give her the Flame. "
Jasper " I thought Jaha destroyed all the wristbands."
Raven "So did he. Then I came home. There's only enough usable parts to rebuild one, so use it wisely. Made a few improvements, too."
Clarke " None of which is gonna matter if you can't get us access to A.L.I.E.'s code. "
Raven "You worry about the Nightblood. I'll worry about A.L.I.E."
Jasper asked confused " How can you access code that doesn't exist here anymore? ""
Monty "We've got a plan. "
Octavia "What are we waiting for?"
Bellamy " Let's move out. "
In the woods.
Roan "All right. This is where we split up. The entrance to the tunnel is right over there. "
Bellamy nodded " Yeah. We know where it is. "
Roan "I'm gonna need the Flame. Look. This only works if they send Ontari out to get it. If they don't see it, they won't do that, not much of a trap without the bait."
I nodded " Fine... but I'm coming with you. "
Bellamy shook his head "No way. That is not the plan"
I nodded " It is now. I'm not letting that out of my sight... and I'm the only one who knows the passphrase, so you can tell them that without me, Ontari can't ascend. "
Roan "You'll need to look like my prisoner. "
I nodded "Ok."
Bellamy grabbed me and shoved me aside " Wait a second. Give us a minute. Come on, Clarke. You're really willing to trust that guy with your life? "
Me "No... but you'll be covering us the entire time, and I trust you. "
At Polis.
Roan walked through the city with me on the rope that was attached to my wrists.
I was also gagged.
Roan "Your friends better be in position. When this is over, Ontari will know you helped her. You have my word. So much for the thousands of people. "
Some of the people were kneeling on the ground. looks like they zooned out.
Roan stopped in front of the building and called out "I am Roan, King of Azgeda... and I have what the Commander seeks. "
The people stood up.
Roan "I don't like what I'm sensing, so if she wants it, she can come to me. "
Suddenly Jaha walked out.
my jaw dropped.
Jaha "Hello Melissa. Your father will be so pleased to see you."
Roan " Who are you? Where's Ontari? "
Jaha shook his head "Not coming out, but you can give the Flame to me. I'll be sure she gets it. Your friends in the tunnel can't help you. Now give me the Flame. "
Roan suddenly held a knife against my throat " Back up, or she dies. "
Jaha "Save the theatrics. We know you're together. We know everything. "
Roan "Then you know she's the only one who can activate the Flame. You're right. We need her alive. "
Then he let go of me"Run."
I pulled the gag out of my mouth.
He turned around to leave but Dad aimed a gun at him.
Dad shot him "But we don't need you."
Roan fell to the ground, groaning.
My jaw dropped "dad?"
Then they grabbed me.
I yelled "don't no! let go of me !"
In the throne room.
The guards let go of me.
Dad "Melissa... I've missed you. "
Then he hugged me.
I shook my head "I won't take the chip"
Dad "Right now, we just need your help with the Flame. What's the passphrase, Melissa ?"
I just glared at him.
Jaha "Stubborn like her mother. "
I snapped at him "don't you dare talking about my mother, you son of a bitch!"
suddenly they gabbed me and sat me down on a chair.
I tried to fight them "let me go , now"
Then I pleaded " dad, please don't let them do this. "
Dad "I'm not letting them do this. I'm doing it."
They tied me to the chair.
I shook my head but they were grabbing me too hard.
Dad grabbed a knife "What's the passphrase, Kid? ""
He cut in my skin with the knife.
I shook my head "dad, this isn't you. I know you're in there. Please."
Dad " What's the passphrase? "
Then he pierced my skin again.
I cried out.
Jaha "It can stop, Melissa. Just tell us what we need to know."
I just looked at him.
dad" I told you. Her friends are her weakness."
My eyes widened.
Dad " Start with Bellamy Blake. "
I shook my had "no, no , no ,no, no! please!"
---
dad "Her friends are resourceful. We'll have to improvise. "
Jaha secured a rope.
I eyed it.
Dad "Don't be afraid. It's not for you. "
Who the hell are they gonna hang now?
Murphy's not here so who's next?
Dad walked over to the chair an got on top of it.
i shook my head "No. Dad, Dad, stop. Listen to me. I know you can hear me. Just stop"
dad wrapped the rope around his neck "You know how to stop this. "
Me "wait, A.L.I.E. If you kill her, you'll never get what you want. "
dad shook his head " A.L.I.E.'s not killing me. You are. "
I pleaded "Dad, don't do this, please. I'm begging you, don't do it. Please. "
dad "What's the passphrase, Melissa? "
I shook my head " I can't. I can't. "
He stepped off the chair and groaned out.
I looked down crying " No. No! No. No! I'm so sorry. "
He was groaning and coughing.
Jaha "they're here. We can't let them have you."
Ontari nodded and kneeled down in front of jasper " I understand."
Jaha smashed in her head.
Suddenly Bellamy and Murphy stormed in.
Me "Bellamy, stop him! "
Murphy rushed over to my dad and cut through the rope.
Bellamy rushed over to me and took the ties off.
I asked worried "is he alive? Is he breathing? It's ok. "
Murphy "He's breathing. "
I breathed out relieved "thank god. Jaha has the Flame. Get it."
Bellamy rushed after him.
Clarke rushed over to Ontari "We can't let Ontari die. We have to stop the bleeding. "
Bellamy walked back in "I got the Flame. "
Clarke "Her pulse is weak. "
Bellamy "At least she's alive. What are you gonna do? "
Clarke "I need a flashlight. First, we take out the chip. Then we put in the Flame. Her pupils are unresponsive. "
Bellamy asked confused "What? What does that mean?"
Clarke " She's brain dead. She can't give us the kill code. It's over. "
Murphy "We're trapped here"
