Defiance • Bellamy Blake [1]

8. Banished

"I have a plan." A voice said.

I stirred in my sleep. I opened my eyes to see three walking figures, in the distance. Immediately on alert, I rose to my feet.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Someone demanded. "Just because we saved you doesn't mean you're forgiven. Got it?"

I followed the sound of the voices. I tried to stay as quiet as possible.

"Clarke."

My feet picked up their pace at that name. As I got closer to the figures, I realized that it was indeed Clarke. With her was Finn.....and Charlotte.

"Clarke?" I asked.

All three of their heads snapped in my direction.

"Harley? Oh my god, where the hell have you been? I've been worried sick." Clarke said.

I shook my head, "I'm sorry, I just had to get away. With everything that's happened... What's happening?"

"Well Murphy started a little hunting group. Their main course is Charlotte." Finn answered.

My head turned to Charlotte. She was crying and she looked scared. But I didn't care. She deserved to feel pain. She killed Wells.

"Where are you taking her?" I asked.

Before Finn could answer, Murphy's voiced boomed throughout the woods.

"Charlotte! Clarke and Finn can't save you."

"We should run." Clarke said.

"Yeah, that's one way to go. I like my plan better." Finn crouched down and opened a door in the ground. "Get in."

"You guys go. I'll go hold them off." I said.

Finn shook his head.

"No that's too dangerous. Just come with us."

"No, Finn, I'm going to stall them. Besides, I need to head back to camp. Now go!"

Before he could even answer, I took off sprinting in Murphy's direction. As I got closer to them, I slowed down and I hid behind a tree.

"Murphy!" I shouted. I heard them stop.

"Who is it?" He shouted back.

"Take a wild guess."

He was quiet for a moment. His feet started to move. I made my way backwards with every step he took.

"Charlotte?"

"Nope."

"Clarke?"

"The other one."

He was silent for a moment before he let out a growl, "Harley."

I popped my head to the side so he could see me.

"Yep." I said.

I took off in a sprint. I heard them chase after me. Looks like catching me was just as important as catching Charlotte. They probably thought I knew where she was. Well...I did but I wasn't going to tell them that.

Something I noticed as I ran, was that I was much faster then them. I mean, I they're not even that close to me. I smirked. Slow pokes.

Suddenly, a hand grasped my waist and pulled me into them. I let out a scream before a hand covered my mouth.

"Shh. Shh."

I looked into the face of the person who grabbed me. My eyes widened when I saw that it was Bellamy. Noticing the look on my face, he removed his hand from my mouth.
