The dragon and her knight ch2

"Are you here to take us home?" Rose asked the blonde Woman.

Nova gave the group a look group,before kneeling down to see the black veins on Murphy.

They watched as she went inside the bar closing the doors,her animals following after her,waiting by the door.

"Isn't this your home?"Clarke then asked the little girl confused.

"Uh, guys..." Clarke said,wondering what Nova was doing,and why she left as soon as she saw the marks on murphy.

"Remember, we're in their home,Everyone keep calm." Bellamy said,the pale woman lingering in his mind.

"Weapons down." Clarke commanded the group.

"Abby, stay with Murphy." Bellamy said to abby.

"Hey, It's okay, We're from Earth, We come in peace."

"Kaylee, where have you been? Where's your family?" a woman questioned.

"They killed them." Kaylee said to her.

"That's not good." Jordan said.

"No, not now, not now,he's seizing!" Abby exclaimed.

Bellamy might not show it but he was in distress,he almost,and probably did kill his friend.

"Help us, please,our friend's dying,He's not breathing." Clarke said to them.

"Let me pass!Move them back." A man said,as Nova rushed out standing next to him.

The group stared at the man,kinda freaked out.

"What are you doing? He'll die." Abby.

"You want my help or not? He's already dead,Fortunately for him, death is not the end, Nova,Cillian...,he was exposed to the seaweed during the red sun,Do it." Russel said to The strange group and then spoke to a man named cillian.

"We call it Kepa-She, it means hideous snake in Chinese." Nova said,grabbing the snake from cillian.

" Oh, my God." Clarke said as the snake opened it mouth.

Bellamy stared at the woman,she was not alarmed or even scared of the snake she was holding.

"Trust us, we know, but the venom degrades too quickly to deliver it in any other form." cillian said.

" It's working." Clarke said as the black veins vanished.

"Amazing, Isn't it? Its curative properties were discovered during one of the earliest red suns,Poison made the demon Gabriel believe he could walk on water,The Kepa-She bit him, and the toxin from the seaweed had no effect." Russell said,Nova glared at him when gabriel was mentioned.

They had met up in secret over the years,she saw him as her older brother,if her father knew,well she didn't even wanna know what would happen.

The group saw the girl glare at the older man,and when the man had looked at her,she rolled her eyes and turned away.

"He's breathing." Clarke said grateful.

"Well done, Cillian,Now lock them up." the man said.

"Dad!" Nova exclaimed with a glare.

"Dad?" Clarke said staring between the two,they didn't look alike , maybe the looks come from her mother.

"Wait!,Where are you taking us?" Clarke had exclaimed in a questioning tone.

"Take it easy." Bellamy said,as he saw Nova glare at the man that was her father,he looked angry when she followed after them,instead of leaving with him.

"We didn't do anything wrong. Get off me!" Clarke exclaimed.

The group shouted at the guards to let go of them.

----------

"Why is he not waking up?" Bellamy said.

"He will." Nova said while she tended to their wounds.

Echo gasped as a scaly creature climbed on her head.

"Astrid seems to like you." Nova laughed softly,Checking the woman for wounds.

Bellamy studied her features, glancing away when she turned to him.

Jordan covered his snort with a cough as bellamy raised a brow and realized he was caught staring.

"I can't believe I did this to him." Emori said as her voice wavered.

"Emori, you didn't, I did." bellamy said comforting the girl as he placed a hand on her shoulder.

As Nova was about to check his leg , a brown haired woman spoke.

"Who cares? We need to get out of this place." Octavia said to her brother.

"What are you even doing here?" Bellamy said.

" I came to save your ass." Octavia said to the man.

Bellamy got up walking over to his sister letting out a scoff,but in the back of his mind he knew he would never be able to put his hands on her,no matter how much she changed, She's still his baby sister.

"Bellamy, no, not now, If we're gonna fight our way out, we need her." Echo said placing her hands on his shoulder.

"he could try but with that leg I don't think so." Nova muttered grabbing Bellamy's arm and tending to the knife wound on his leg.

"Echo, we're not fighting them. We need them to teach us how to survive down here." Clarke said,glancing at Nova,who had Bellamy's eyes on her the whole time.

Who was she?,why was she helping them,could she be trusted,those were the thoughts lingering through Clarke's mind as she gave a weary glance towards the girl.

"Welcome friends,If it's true that you survived the red sun, then you need a drink." a man with a tray spoke,entering the room along with two women.

"Thank you." Clarke said grabbing a drink.

Nova grabbed one from Delilah,giving the girl a small nod,glancing at bellamy from the corner of her eye.

"Thank you,That's Amazing,What is it?" Jordan asked Delilah,Nova then noticed the goo goo eyes they gave eachother.

"We call it--" the girl started.

" Delilah..." Blyth ann,her mother said disapprovingly.

"Relax, Mother,I don't think they'll steal your recipe,We call it Jo Juice after Josephine Prime,Hallowed be her name." Delilah said.

"Hallowed be her name." the three said,Everyone noticed Nova getting disapproving looks when she didn't say it.

Bellamy also noticed how Nova tensed at the name josephine, he had placed a hand on her shoulder,as if he was asking her if she was okay.

"Uh, can I ask--it's probably none of our business, but what's a prime?" Clarke asked.

"Sanctum was colonized by a team from Earth made up of four families -- the primes, Their blood rules us still." Nova said,rolling her eyes.

" Which one's the pilot?" Russel said entering the bar,the guards telling them to make way for him and Simone.

"There, that one." Kaylee said,pointing to a girl named raven.

"Stop,did I say to take her?" Russel said,as Simone yanked Nova away from Bellamy.

"No sir,sorry sir." The Guard said,bowing his head at Russel.

Nova then snatched her arm away from her mother,her gaze meeting Echo and Bellamy's.

"Look If this is about what happened on the mothership, your people stole our transport and then boarded us by force, My people were just defending themselves." Clarke said,her voice not wavering.

"Lies,She wasn't there,we hurt no one." Kaylee said,Nova knew she was going to try and escape,anyone would,hell she would.

"What's your name?" Russel said,glancing at Nova who stared at bellamy.

"Clarke Griffin,what's yours?"

" He is Russell Lightborne, seventh of his line, savior of Sanctum, and you will bow before using his name." Simone stated.

Nova rolled her eyes at her mother's words.

" I don't think so." The blonde said,Nova snickered,covering it with a cough when her mother glared at her.

"My wife's a stickler for protocol, but she knows you can't observe customs that you're unaware of, You have questions, understandably, and we'll get to them all, but first, we need your transport ship to be flown into Sanctum,You can land in one of the lower fields." Russel said.

"You've also met our daughter Nova,you'll trea-" Nova cut her Mother off by sitting next to Bellamy and Echo.

Simone scoffed in disbelief at her daughters actions,she was sitting with dangerous people.

*Okay not her mother's looks either,maybe she was adopted?*

Clarke thought giving the girl a glance.

"Why?,What's out there?" Abby Questioned.

"There are worse things in this world than eclipse-induced psychosis, All of them are outside the shield, and the worst of them would love to get their hands on the weapons Kaylee says are on your ship." Simone explained.

"Why are we asking for permission? My family is on that ship!" Kaylee exclaimed.

"Which is why you'll be on the team sent to retrieve them, What, now you're afraid to leave the shield?" Russel stated,Nova rolled her eyes at her father,not a fan of his tone.

Bellamy noticed how she seemed to dislike her family's ways,and noted that she wasn't much of a speaker.

"I told you, we were late for shelter when we saw that ship, Either we took it or we suffered the red sun." Kaylee stated to Russell.

Nova noticed her voice wavering at the end,and Clarke being pulled aside by her mother.

"What you woke her!, Nevermind,Raven will fly the ship,But we're going too." Clarke said to her mother loudly,causing everyone to look at them.

"Didn't realize you were giving the orders again, Clarke." Raven said,giving the blonde a side eye.

Nova put a hand on Bellamy's shoulder,the girl sometimes needed help getting up due to her joints locking,specifically in her legs,that was the red suns affect on her, however it was permanent unlike the psychosis,why it affected her diffrently was still unknown.

It could be very painful and it happened at bad times,such as when she's walking or having conversations,and it could last up to a few seconds to a couple minutes,even a few days , causing the poor girl to fall over half the time , although that didn't stop Nova from living her life , Bellamy seemed to have noticed her discomfort and wrapped his arm around her waist,helping her straighten up.

Simone glared at him,not liking how close the stranger was getting to her daughter.

"Fine,Choose your most disposable people,It's time to go, ...You don't strike me as disposable."Russel said,his tone strict,stopping Clarke who had walked over to him.

Nova let out a scoff while Bellamy noticed how she scrunched her nose and rested her head on his shoulder,he also noticed how her legs were tense and it looked like she was about to fall over,he managed to help her sit on one of the bar stools still slightly holding on to her in case.

The two then looked at Clarke as she spoke up , Nova's leg joints were slowly unlocking , still wincing slightly she hid her pain well , however that didn't stop bellamy from comforting the enchanting woman.

"None of us are, but my child is out there, so I'm going to get her." Clarke stated with a stern voice,she just wanted to make sure Madi was safe.

"Please,We have things to discuss,Are you the leader of your people or not?"Russel questioned as Nova was finally able to walk,well stumble towards her father and Clarke,Bellamy close behind.

This didn't go unnoticed by Abby,Raven,or Echo , meanwhile Jordan was either staring at Delilah or listening to the conversation and Emori sat by Murphy's side.

"She is,She can speak for us." Bellamy said,arm wrapping around Nova,this didn't go unnoticed by his sister who smiled behind her hand.

"Good,You can escort your team to the steps,The rest of you will remain here, well-cared-for till we can decide what to do with you,Nova your staying here your legs will slow us down."

Nova looked at her father offended,but she knew he was right,Bellamy thought her small pout was adorable,what was this connection to a woman he just met,and why did he feel the need to protect her.

"Raven, Echo." He said,Raven rolled her eyes while Echo nodded,patting Nova's shoulder softly.

"Octavia, let's go." Echo said to the other blake,Nova Saw the look Bellamy gave the girl,but somthing was hidden in those eyes,regret,sadness?

Nova couldn't figure it out,and she always figures it out,but this man was gonna be a challenge.

"Hey, Miller you stay here, Keep an eye on things." Bellamy said as he glanced at Nova who went to sit at the bar.

"Can I talk to you for a second?" Clarke asked pulling him aside.

"What? You said it yourself,We need these people,For some reason, their leader seems to like you, so let's try and keep it that way,Hey, Clarke, we'll bring Madi back,I promise."

He could of sworn she murmured how he and Nova were hitting it off, but didn't question her.

----(longish time skip)

"Clarke, I have to get out of here."Jordan said his voice full of child like wonder.

"Not gonna happen Jordan." Clarke said to the boy.

"You've been locked inside for 26 years,What's one more day?" Miller said as Nova smiled at them before turning her attention back to Murphy who hadn't awoken.

Nova and everyone then jumped back as he launched up screaming and thrashing.

"Hey, hey, You're okay,John, John, the toxin's gone  It's gone Everyone's okay,Clarke tell him." Emori said,trying to calm him down.

Nova sadly heard her mother calling for her,giving Abby the medical supplies in case Murphy had any side affects.

Giving one last glance to the scared man,she left the bar and went to were she heard her mother's voice,Astrid chirped as she flew onto the girls head.

"I've been wondering were you where,I think we will be in for a pleasant surprise with all of these new guests." Nova said to the small dragon.

"By the glory and grace of the primes, daily tai chi is commencing now,May your hearts be filled with love and light as we love as one." A woman could be heard on the radio of sanctum.

--------

"Keep them coming." Murphy said to Nova,who had finally escaped her mother's nagging and snuck back to the bar,although now she was pouring drinks for everyone.

"Good thing we harvest tonight, Gonna need to make more." Delilah said,while Nova raised a brow as if saying she was done after pouring these ones.

"Hm, you harvest at night? , Oh, that is so cool,I've read that it help preserve the purity of fruit, Is that why?" Jordan asked curious.

Nova was then asked by the younger kids to coach their game of soccer,and how could she say no to them,she also had to get ready for the dinner with Clarke and her parents.

She then left giving Delilah a small smile and a discreet wink.

----

"Welcome, Clarke,Join us, please." Russel said.

"Not creepy at all dad." Nova said,yelping when Simone hit her head.

"Thank you."Clarke said,discreetly checking out Nova,hell if Bellamy didn't hit that she would,could you blame her.

Nova might've checked her out too,could you blame her.

The blonde stared at everything curious,but Nova saw the small hint of suspicion and nervousness,she didn't blame her.

"You must be starving." Russel said to Clarke.

"I'm fine, actually,Delilah's family has been taking good care of us,Thank you for that." Clarke stated,Nova glanced at her mother waiting for her to explode.

"It's rude not to eat when you're in someone's home, Clarke." Simone stated,as Nova gave her a knock it off look.

Simone however ignored Nova's stare.

"Alright,Oh my God,It's really good."Clarke said picking up something to eat,Nova smirked slightly.

Much to her mother's disapproval she helps the chefs cook,although her baking is way better.

"We like our simple pleasures here." Russel

"We don't like fnding strangers in our home,specifically the one who looks like he's trying to get somewhere with our daughter ." Simone stated with a glare.

"Mother!" Nova softly exclaimed,Simone didn't like how Bellamy got close to Nova,she always loved her and Ryker together.

"Oh, I'm sorry about that, but we were running from a swarm,Trust me It's not the way that we wanted to be introduced,Like your founders on Eligius III, we're looking to start over, do better."

"And you don't have to worry about Bellamy he would never hurt Nova,he's a natural protector." Clarke explained.

"Yes,I would hope so, considering you destryoed the planet of your birth,and Nova has guards for protection." Simone said,Nova kept her mouth shut when she glarned at her.

"Actually, I was born in space, but I take your point Look Here's the truth,Without your help, we won't survive here, You know it, I know it, Our ancestors did destroy the Earth, but they're your ancestors, too." Clarke explained.

"She has a point." Nova said,while her parents looked at eachother.

"How many people have you killed, Clarke...or should we call you Wanheda?" Simone questioned the girl.

"Mother!, You don't have to answer Clarke." Nova said,giving her mother a glare.

"It ok,My friend Jordan likes to talk,What else did he say?" Clarke said placing a hand on her shoulder.

"He said you went to the protected compound not unlike this one and murdered everyone inside, innocent men, women, and children alike." Russel said,Nova was now conflicted.

"I'm excusing myself." Nova got up placing a hand on Clarke's shoulder.

"That was different,The Mountain Men were going to kill everyone that I love -- my friends, my mother,I did what I had to do to save my people." Clarke said as Nova left.

"Would you do it again?" She heard her mother ask,she then closed the door and walked Away.

----

Nova was chatting with Emori,miller,and Jackson,she was enjoying the company of the strangers,learning what it was like living in space.

Along with earth after they had left,and Emori being a freakidina,Nova however thought her hand was unique and beautiful.

Nova got up when she saw Clarke enter,but she let Abby speak before going over to her.

"Clarke, what happened?" The woman said to her daughter.

"Jordan told them everything,Where is he?" Clarke said.

"On the roof with Delilah." Nova answered a bad feeling in her stomach.

The two girls than walked up to the roof,a guard following closely behind them.

"Jordan...Jordan. Jordan, hey,What happened? No ,Hey ,He's hurt ,Put him down." Clarke asked,the boy appeared to be injured.

Delilah on the other hand was nowhere to be seen.

"Delilah!" Nova exclaimed,calling for the girl.

Cassius,the guard,had roughly grabbed Jordan telling him,well threatening him to tell him where Delilah was.

"No,Wait There,Delilah." Jordan said,pointing out a man.

"You!Get back here,The children of Gabriel are in the compound,They'll use the night harvest to try to get her out,Follow me, please." Cassius exclaimed after the man,also telling them to follow him.

"Wait." Jordan said.

"No, no, no." Clarke said to the boy who was on the verge of passing out.

Nova put pressure on the wound helping Clarke keep him up right,but they eventually layed him down.

The two girls than ran after the man,after Nova made sure the wound wasn't life threatening.

"Russell's here somewhere,I have to warn him,You keep looking." Cassius said to Clarke,grabbing Nova who snatched her arm away.

"I'll help Clarke,alert my father." Nova said,cassius hesitatated before leaving the two.

Nova prayed Delilah was safe,she was one of her bestfriends.

Some of sanctum's people were dancing and partying making the search difficult.

"Stop! Hey!" The two exclaimed after the man.

As they catched up he slashed at them,Nova had her face slashed slightly but it drew blood,a long cut across her nose.

Clarke saw her blood,But didn't have time to question her as she grabbed the weapon.

"You have the blood." The man said,he gave Nova a small glance that Clarke didn't catch.

He than ran as Russel and Cassius found them.

"There,They've got him." Cassius said.

"He's getting away!" Clarke exclaimed.

"It's okay,He won't get past the shield,We'll get him." Russel said.

Nova helped Cassius with Delilah who was paralyzed.

"Set a guard detail to check on Rose and Tell Cillian to bring his bag to the greenhouse Go."Nova said,worried about her god daughter.

"Here." Russel said bandaging Clarke's hand as Nova saw the two pictures worried.

----

The three plus cillion,who Nova never really trusted , were now in one of their greenhouses.

"What was wrong with her?, She looked like she couldn't move." Clarke questioned, worried at the fact Russel saw her blood and that Nova was also a natblida.

"She couldn't,They used a paralytic derived from a beetle my eldest daughter discovered a long time ago, wears off in a few hours." Russel said,Nova remembered when Josephine told them of the bug.

"I didn't know you had another daughter." Clarke said,glancing at Nova.

"She died in a fall six years ago." Russel said shortly,Nova saw him glance at her,she ignored it.

"Your friend Murphy has red blood." Cillian said,stoping the awkward silence.

"Most people do." Clarke said,glancing at nova's cut.

"We're not most people, are we? We have the same blood, Clarke, royal blood,That's why they went after Delilah." Russel explained,as Nova started to bandage her cut.

"Where's Russell? The children of Gabriel got past Jade and took my Rose." Miranda said on the verge of having a break down.

"What!" Nova exclaimed getting up,fearing the worst,putting a hand on Miranda's shoulder for comfort.

"We know they're still here,We'll search everywhere in the compound." Russel said,Nova was nervously rolling on her heels.

"How did they get inside the compound?" Miranda yelled the life of her child was at stake.

That was the only thing her and Gabriel ever fought about,if a vessel was a child,sadly whether they left the child somewhere no one could find them,they still would die.

"Keep your voice down, Miranda." Russel sternly said,giving Nova a look that said "Calm down."

But she couldn't her goddaughter's life was at stake,she felt a vision about to happen,scared of what she might draw,she held back.

Holding back a vision causes her to have nose bleeds or even pass out,she sat by Clarke cradling her head as Astrid flew to her shoulder.

Comforting the girl,while from afar two roars and a howl were heard,the three animals were searching sensing something wrong.

"That's the second time the shield's been breeched in two days." Nova said to her father.

"It wasn't breached The children of Gabriel knew we'd go for the ship,They were waiting when we lowered it for Kaylee's team,Rose is still in Sanctum,let's go find her." Russel explained,while telling miranda that they'll find rose.

When a rumbling noise filled the air they walked out of the green house,the shield came down,people kneeled down mumbling in disbelief.

"This was their plan all along They knew we'd lower the shield to let them back in." Nova said running a hand through her hair,Clarke glanced at her seeing her nervous state.

"We have to assume they have Rose,Assemble a team to go after her,Do it now!" Russel yelled to the guards.

"We'll get her back,We'll get her back." Nova mumbled into Miranda's hair,the woman hugging her,mumbling no over and over.

"Would you be so calm if it was your daughter's turn?" Miranda said still holding on to Nova, who saw Russel glance at Clarke,the blonde staring at them confused.

Nova prayed Russel wasn't thinking what she thought he was thinking,Josephine needed to stay "dead" because everytime she came back,she's always different.
