《havoc | bellamy blake (book two)》19 | nothing they could do
Advertisement
Jovie felt like she was in a daze as they made their way back to Camp Jaha. The Grounders had Finn and there was nothing they could do about that. If there was any chance for peace, it was because Finn would be dead. There was only one end to this.
The camp stood in silence as the Grounders chanted wildly outside the gates. No one knew what to say.
"What is that?" Raven asked as the Grounders began setting up a pole in the center.
"It's for Finn," Clarke answered. "They want us to watch."
"To prove to us what happens when you kill them," Jovie added.
"We're gonna get him," Bellamy said. Jovie looked at her feet. She wished she believed him. Normally she would be the one to be optimistic, but she was running low on that. "We'll get in close, and we'll hit them hard."
"Son, there's thousands of them," Kane said solemnly. He didn't want to be the bearer of bad news, but he happened to be right. "Even if we could kill hundreds, they'd still wipe out this camp and your friend would still die."
"We have to try," Bellamy urged.
"Abby," Raven said. "Abby, we have to do something."
"No, Raven," she answered softly. Clarke looked over and made eye contact with Bellamy and Jovie, signalling them over. They met up with her to see what she had in mind.
"Take this," Clarke said as she handed her gun to Bellamy.
"What're you doing?" He asked.
"I'm gonna talk to the Commander," she told him.
"What else do you have to say?" He asked.
"I don't know," she answered honestly. "I don't know." She was just desperate to do something. Jovie could see that.
"Clarke," Bellamy said.
"Give me your hand," Raven said. She gently shoved a small knife into Clarke's sleeve. "If she won't let him go, kill her. Things will go crazy, and then we'll grab you and Finn. Clarke, you have to help him. I owe him my life."

Before Clarke left, Jovie grabbed her and pulled her into a hug.
"Do what you have to," Jovie whispered. Jovie didn't know exactly what that would be, but she trusted Clarke to make the right decision. Clarke backed out of the hug and gave her a nod, silently telling her she understood.
Bellamy shut the gate then they headed back over to the fence so they would be able to see what was happening. Clarke was brave as she walked through the Grounders. Jovie could tell Abby was nervous as she watched her daughter walk through enemy territory.
Jovie bit her lip as she watched them drag Finn towards the pole. She could feel a lump forming in her throat, but she didn't want to cry. That made it feel too real.
"Come on, Clarke, do it," Raven said. But Jovie knew: if Clarke killed the Commander, both her and Finn would be dead. Clarke was smarter than that. When she walked over to Finn, Jovie had a bad feeling she knew what was going to come next. "What is she doing?"
Clarke ran over to Finn and kissed him. She leaned in to give him a hug and that was when it was done.
Everything seemed to blur together. Raven's screams sounded so far away as Jovie just stood there staring at Finn's now dead body. She wanted to help Raven, but she couldn't. It was like her body wasn't capable of anything. She was frozen. Bellamy went to reach for Jovie, but she took a step back.
"No. No. Help Raven," she choked out before turning around to head back to the ship. There were too many people around. She felt like she was being closed in. She didn't want to lose it in front of all of them. She couldn't.
The crowd spread for her as she walked through, like they knew that she was barely keeping it together and getting in her way was just going to make things worse.
"Jovie," Murphy's voice filled her ears. He grabbed her arm but she ripped it out of his grip.

"Don't," she said. She wasn't mad at him. She just knew that if she let him comfort her here, she would lose it. Tears started to pool in her eyes, but she refused to let them fall until she was out of sight.
They had lost people while being down here, but none of them felt like family to her. This was Finn. Spacewalker. He meant something to all of them. And now he was just gone.
Jovie rushed through the halls until she reached her and Bellamy's room, slamming the door shut behind her. She stood there for a moment, just staring at the ground, until she finally lost it. She let out a pained scream as she swiped everything that was on the shelf onto the floor. She kicked the chair out of her way before punching the wall. For her, it was easier to be angry than sad. She knew how to handle anger, but she didn't know how to handle sadness. But she was sad. Finn was dead. There was nothing they could do about that. There was no fixing this.
She let out a scream again, which ended being more of a sob than anything else. This time she buried her face in her hands and sunk to the floor instead of hitting something. She had let out her anger and now she allowed herself to be sad.
She hadn't even heard the door open either until she felt Bellamy wrapping his arms around her. He sat down on the ground next to her and pulled her over so that she was basically sitting on his lap. They just sat there in silence for a while as she sobbed into his chest and he ran his hand through her hair.
After a while she pulled back, hastily wiping her tears off her cheeks. She was getting back to the anger phase, suddenly feeling mad about the whole situation.
"Your shoulder's bleeding," Bellamy noted, reaching over to where her bullet wound was still healing.
"I don't care," she said, standing to her feet. "I don't care about my damn shoulder. Finn is dead!" He sighed as he stood to his feet. He had come in expecting this side of Jovie, so he was surprised to see her crying how she was. Now he was ready to handle her anger.
"Jo-"
"I could have stopped him, Bellamy," she said. "I knew he wasn't okay and I still let him into that village with a gun. I let him kill them." She paced around the room and Bellamy just watched her, letting her get it all out before he would say anything. "I let him kill them and I let them kill him! This is just as much my fault as it is his." Now he grabbed her and held her by her arms so that she was looking at him.
"Look at me," he said sternly, only so that she would actually listen to him. "This is not your fault. And if you refuse to believe that then it's my fault too. I let you three continue on when I knew he wasn't himself too. Then it's Abby's fault too, for giving us guns. It's Clarke's fault for being missing and making him look for her. It's the Mountain Men's fault for taking her. It's the Grounders' fault for the war. Jovie, we can sit here and make a list of who's to blame, but that's not going to help anyone. The only thing we can do now is figure out how we help our friends get out of Mount Weather. Use your anger to make the Mountain Men regret taking them."
Jovie stared at him for a few seconds before nodding. She still felt like crying but she was afraid that if she didn't stop now, then she would never stop. She had been holding in so much and Finn's death had just set her over.
"Okay," she finally said. "I'll do it because that's what Finn would have wanted."
"Yes, he would," Bellamy agreed. "We do it for Finn."

This Strange New Life
Seems like I got a new chance. Better not fuck it up then, since I really want to see what it feels to have a family. Power is pretty lame alone. Best used to build things and protect people. Did a lot of building 'till now, lots of research stuff and all. Now, let's protect the people that I love and that loves me back. An enjoyable life with my loved ones. Whatever the cost. Mufufu~~ What can I do, my siblings are so cute~~ maybe I'll try having children at some point~? --- PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION ^p^ ---- This is an extremely slow reincarnation story, with heavy usage of dialogues and diminutive descriptions. Chapter are posted whenever I feel like it, because I won't burn myself down like I did before. Chapters will often be around 2k words. The first arc, Life in Valince, will be at least 50 chapters deep, and the main character won't get to her 1 year anniversary over the span of this arc. As I said, it's a slow, character interaction, dialogue-heavy story. Lots of feeling, slice-of-life etc, with some dramatic events that shape the rest of the story ^^ AND PLEASE, STOP PESTERING ME ABOUT JAPANESE. this story contain a very limited amount of japanese words, used in context for a reason and that are part of the mystery of the worldAnd the bad guys use german (not because nazi buit because german is badass)And there’s also french. Please be open-minded. I’m not a delusional weeb and this kind of thing, and it would be very appreciated if people could be more polite.If you don't like it, I don't force you to read it, but a lot of people seems to like this novel nonetheless, so maybe you should give it a shot. ---- Lux's here! Yeah I know I should work on ToL and ToF but I had another idea, then another one. So here it is. Story talk about a war vet that reincarnate and can finally know what it is to have a family. I like engineering, creating things and all, so I'll try putting production scene in this. Like all my stories, it's about love, be it with family, friends or lovers. I like my coffee with so much love sugar that half the planet would get diabetes. You're warned. Also, the MC is quite OP, but I keep a progression curb and she still has things to learn, which she will eagerly do. After all, curiosity is one of her main drives, with a thirst for love and utter hate of loss, be it losing a battle or losing someone she loves. Ha, nearly forgot. CONTENT WARNINGS AREN'T FOR SHOW. Sex, of course. I'll try to explore sexuality as a male, a female, and some other PoV that can't be categorised like that, not exactly. Also, beware the yuri/yaoi. I don't limit myself to straight couples. Gore. A lot. Blood everywhere, guts spilling and all. I don't do censure. The Mc cut a wolf in half? you get the details of what is inside it. Traumatising content. I dunno. No NTR, no heartbreaking drama. However, some of you may dislike the way I handle bodies and flesh. Got some feedback about body horror on my previous works, but everyone as a different border separating transhumanism and body horror. Mine is pretty high. How high? Go read The Other Labyrthin to have an example. To put it in simple term, I've no problem at all to describe alien bodies, change in human bodies, interactions between differents strange species etc. Expect a lot of tentacle, bio-incubator, spawning pool à la zerg. Profanity. Well, I think you fucking got it in the very first sentence of this synopsis, ain't right? ---- THIS IS A WIP (work in progress)! Earlier chapters may get retconned or completely changed, structure of the story isn't set in stone, all the usual stuff. ANY HELP IS WELCOMED. Want to throw me your idea? Shoot! Spotted an error in the text? Comment! Seen a plothole bigger than the impact zone of a nuke? I'll gladly hear you out and try to fix the problem (somehow ;-;) --- Cover: John Martin - The Plains of Heaven (c. 1851) ---- Official Editor: TheZouave (starting from ch25 onward) ---- List of thanks: Necrotyr (English) Asviloka (English) Damokles (Review) David Talon (Review) JHA (English) Helbom (English) Slee202 (Common Coherence) NEEDS_MORE_DAKA (First First) Srayan (English) Koooomakimi (Dialogue Flow) Emagstar (English) Apocryphal (Review) ToasterForker (Review) Ellen Taylor (Review) Zak (English) PrimalShadow (English) Elliot Flanders (HUGE THANKS for the re-write of the poem "Tale of Ashen Night" Go check their work, it's good ^^) Lance Wheeler (Huge thanks for the English edit on each chapter ^^) (If you think you should be here because you helped me, feel free to ask, pointing the reason, like the comment you gave that could have helped me ^^)
