Chapter 4

Bellamy and I both woke up hearing Charlotte screaming from the distance; but the scream wasn't coming from the inside. Seeing light flashing from outside the cave, I noticed that it was already morning.

As I ran outside, I saw Charlotte standing next to Atom, who was barely breathing laying on the ground. His skin was deteriorating; not only was his skin ruined but he couldn't breathe. The acid he inhaled got inside his body as well.

'Atom..' I whispered as I sat down next to him. 'I'm so sorry.'

'Y/N, it's not your fault.' he smiled lightly as he hissed in pain every time he moved a muscle.

Sniffling as my eyes started to get watery, I wiped my eyes. 'I'm going to get you out of here, okay? Clarke can tak-'

Atom interrupted me and continued. 'No, I'm dying Y/N. Just kill me, please.'

The sniffling didn't help; I started bawling. 'Atom, I–I can't.'

'Please. I'm don't want to be in pain anymore. Please Reyes.' I felt his pain through his voice; the pain in his throat made him sound raspy. As I continued to cry, Charlotte placed her hand on my shoulder.

'Don't be afraid.'

Atom wanted me to do one thing for him and I was too much of a coward to help him. I was scared for him and nothing was more pathetic than that. A 12 year old girl who was comforting me had more courage than I do. I gripped my hand tightly as it shook from the panic. I had to do this, for my friend. I sobbed and grabbed onto my knife tightly that Charlotte handed me.

'Goodbye Atom' I whispered as I stabbed the knife into his heart. I continued to sob as I felt the knife going through his body. Atom closed his eyes as he took his last breath. I pulled the knife out of his body and started shaking. My eyes started watering as I screamed at the top of my lungs.

Bellamy gently pulled me up, helping me stand up and he hugged me. 'It's okay. Atom is in a better place now.'

With my face buried into his chest, I continued crying historically. The feeling of killing someone let alone your friend was a pain I wish I never experienced. Bellamy rubbed my back and held me until he knew that I was okay.

After what felt like forever, I pulled away from the hug and looked for Charlotte. She was nowhere to be found and Bellamy didn't know her whereabouts either. Without another word, we silently walked back to camp.

As I saw us getting closer to camp, I stopped Bellamy. 'Blake?'

He turned around with a concerned look on his face, 'What is it?'

'Thank you.' I never thought I'd say this to him but without him by my side today, I didn't know if I was going to make it through.

'Anytime Reyes.' He gave a soft smile.

Moments passed and I woke up in the middle of the night; That's what I get for sleeping all day. I looked up and I saw millions of stars as I exited my tent. I've always seen stars from the Ark but it looked better from down here.

'I gaze the stars sometimes too.' Thinking that I was alone, Bellamy's voice made me jump. 'I didn't mean to scare you Reyes.'

With Bellamy slightly laughing at me, I couldn't help but laugh. 'I didn't really get to see stars from my station, back at the Ark. It's nice because I get to see it every night now.'

My smile faded away as I had a dark thought in my brain. 'Is it bad that I don't miss the Ark at all? I know you hate it and all but the only thing I care about the Ark is my sister still trapped up there.'

'You have a sister?'

'Raven Reyes? We have the same father.'

He finally put two and two together. 'I know of her but I never thought she was your sister.'

'Yeah, everyone's surprised when they realize we're siblings. She's doing great things up there and I'm stuck here. Worthless, huh.' I chuckled.

Bellamy placed his hand on my shoulder, 'You're not useless. You're the one that actually kept this camp sane. I tried to do things the way I thought was right, but I was wrong. You taught me that.'

'I know I've been a dick. And I'm sorry for that.' He added.

'You're a good person, I know you are. And it's okay to be scared, you know.'

He nodded. 'It's just hard sometimes, you know?'

'Yep, it is.'

'Murphy! You son of a bitch, I know what you did' Clarke stomped out of the dropship. It was early in the morning and I didn't have time for another drama. We had better things to do, like building the wall to keep the grounders out.

'I didn't fight Wells this time, chill.' John claimed.

'Yeah, because you killed him.' Clarke admitted.

I stepped in as I defended John. 'Woah, where are you getting this assumptions from?'

'John's the only one that has a motive.'

This was getting out of hand; We had no proof that John ever killed Wells. But the people didn't care, they started crowding around us and they shoved John to the ground.

'Hey, watch it!' I yelled but it was no use, there were too many of them. The people started dragging John and then wrapped a rope around him, ready to hang him. As I shouted for John, I work my way through the crowd but there were too many of them. Bellamy, standing next to me froze as he was about to witness another death of a friend after Atom.

'Bellamy, do you want to do the honors?' Some kid asked as he pointed to the chair under John. 'Just kick it and the criminal would be gone from our camp.'

'Blake, please don't do this. Please, I beg you.' Tears streamed down from my poofy red eyes that formed from yesterday. Bellamy, distressed looked at me not knowing what to do. I continued to shake his arm, trying to get his attention but he stared into space.

Some girl suddenly popped up out of no where and kicked the chair, causing John to hang from the tree. His grabbed onto the rope around his neck, trying to keep himself from suffocating as he kicked the air.

'John!' I yelled and tried to run to him but some kid grabbed me by my waist, stopping me from helping my boyfriend. 'Don't touch me!'

Clarke then ran up to him and cut the rope to flee him. John then fell to the ground as he coughed, grasping for air. As the people started booing Clarke, I turned around and pushed Bellamy's chest. 'You almost got him killed. Why did you just stand there?'

'I tried b-but.' Bellamy stuttered, trying to get the answers out of his mouth. Before I pushed him again, Charlotte stood in front of me. 'I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. It was me.'

Bellamy gulped, 'What do you mean Charlotte?'

'I killed Wells. I'm sorry.'

John quickly got up and ran towards her, 'You almost got me killed!'

'Hey, stop.' Clarke held onto John.

My mind was rushing and going crazy; How did a little girl like Charlotte manage to kill Wells? Not only that but almost drove the whole camp to kill my boyfriend. Before I can process everything, the crowd turned to Charlotte.

'Let's get her!' They screamed as Charlotte ran away into the dropship. Bellamy, Clarke and I followed her but it was too late, she closed the door on us.

I knocked on the door loudly and screamed, 'Charlotte, let us help you please.'

Not even a minute passed by and a gun shot fired from inside.
