The Games ~ Book 1 ~ (The 100/Bellarke)

Chapter 9

Clarke woke up the next morning, her head rested on a sleeping Bellamy's chest.  Clarke looked around to make sure that Monty and Jasper where still present and had not escaped.  To her surprise they where still there. Jasper was still asleep, Monty still awake.

Clarke got up quietly, making sure not to wake Bellamy.  Clarke walked over and sat down next to Monty.

"Hi."  Clarke said, not knowing what else to say.

"I told you we wouldn't leave."  Monty looked over at Clarke with a half mad and half pleased look on his face.

"Why didn't you?"  Clarke asked.  "Why didn't you leave?"

"Your looking for your friend, I would hope that if I was looking for Jasper and you two knew where he was that you would help me find him."  Monty answered.  "Plus, I want really interested in your friend over there trying to rip my limbs off."  Monty laughed, slightly.

Clarke laughed as well and then just smiled.

Bellamy was starting to wake up.  He wasn't spying, just listening in on Clarke's conversation.

"My name is Clarke by the way."  Clarke told him.

"I'm Monty."  Monty extended his hand to shake Clarke's.

"Well, it's nice to meet you Monty."  Clarke told him.

"Yeah.  Same to you."  Monty paused, and then continued.  "hey, uh.  If you don't mind me asking this - just tell me if you don't want to answer, don't feel pressured or anything.- but why are you even hanging around with this guy?" Monty pained over a Bellamy who appeared to be asleep.

"Well, this guy, is Bellamy.  I'm alleys with him because, he's my friend, and I trust him."  Clarke answered.  "Plus, he practically saved my life."

"Saved your life?"

"He didn't cut my head off when he had the chance."  Clarke laughed.  "So yeah. I guess I should say that he spared my life."

As soon as they had finish their conversation, Bellamy pretended to just be waking up.

"You guys ready?"

"For what?"  Monty asked a little rudely, why did he only act this way when Bellamy was near by?

"To find Octavia."  Bellamy told him with a duh tone.

"Yeah."  Clarke stood up.  "Let's get moving."

"Jasper isn't awake yet."  Monty told them.

"Hey, goggle kid, let's go!"  Bellamy yelled.

Jasper woke up, he was startled to yell, he was scared. When he calmed down he asked.  "What's going on?"  Jasper sleepily questioned as he scratched the back of his neck.

"We are going to find Octavia."  Clarke informed him.  "You ready to move?"

"Y-yeah."  Jasper answered, sleepily.

The four of them made there way towards where Jasper and Monty assumed was were they saw Octavia.  Jasper and Monty where a bit ahead.  Clarke and Bellamy gave them a bit for freedom seeing how they hadn't given them any reason not to.

"I trust them."  Clarke told Bellamy.

"I think I might too."  Bellamy told her.

"Might?"  Clarke laughed.  "How can you say that?"

"I don't trust people very easily, Princess."  Bellamy said in a tone that signaled he was offended.

"Octavia was the same way."  Clarke told him, calming him down.  "The first week that she was put in my cell, she wouldn't say a word to me.  For a while I thought she couldn't talk."

"How did you find out she could?"  Bellamy asked.

"I gave her some of my food one night, because she still looked hungry.  I'm not really sure why but she just started to trust me after that point.  Then, we became friends."

After walking for what seamed like forever Jasper and Monty came to a stop.  Causing Bellamy and Clarke to run up to catch up to them.  Bellamy and Clarke came to a stop when they reached Jasper and Monty.

"This is where she was."  Jasper muttered.

Bellamy had to fight the tears that came to his eyes, he had to hold them back. No one had ever seen him cry, no one would ever see him cry.

Clarke felt her heart sink.  Octavia wasn't there.  Clarke could feel tears building up in her eyes.  She tried to hold them back, but it was no use.  The tear came streaming out of her eyes like a river.  Clarke dropped to her knees the tear flowing out of her eyes like it would never stop.

Bellamy placed his hand on Clarke's shoulder, and gave it a reassuring squeeze. He got down on his knees next to her and pulled her into a hug.  Clarke buried her face in to he chest. "We'll find her."  He muttered.  "We'll find her. We'll find her. I promise, Clarke. We'll find her."

AUTHOR'S NOTES: All if this chapter I was listening to 'Unspoken' by: Hurts, it totally reminds me of Bellarke.

I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. It was a little sad and depressing, I know it will get better though, I promise. But the Bellarke hug, was just great! I can just picture Bellamy cradling Clarke while she cried. Hope you guys loved it as much as I did.
