Persphyni : I am Destruction

28

"What are you doing?" I hissed nervously as I tried to wiggle out of his hold which only tightened around me. "Put me down, Blake." I ordered, sliding my dagger back in my sheath so I could use a second hand as leverage against his back.

"Not until you say I'm not an asshole and mean it." I smacked the back of his head which made him tighten his grasp causing his shoulder to dig into my hips. My sword poking his arm as it threatened to unsheathe itself as I was hung upside down.

"How can I say something that isn't true. I was told that lying was bad." I heard Clarke chuckle in front of me but behind Bellamy as he continued to walk.

"It is, which is why you need to tell the truth." I looked at Bellamy as he looked at me, my neck straining slightly as I stared into his eyes that were darker with the night.

"Fine." I brought my lips near his ear before I whispered, holding back a grin. "You are not an asshole—"

"Thank you." Bellamy cut me off as he set me down.

"—you're a Dumbass." I pushed away from him as he went to grab me again but I evaded his attempt. A small smile playing on my lips.

"Guys, not to uh, 'disrupt the moment'," Clarke threw finger quotes in the air, "but we need to find that bunker."

A moment of silence passed before the two of us snapped back into adult mode as we did a full one-eighty. I adjusted my sword then had my dagger back in hand as he grabbed his flashlight again and cleared his throat.

The two of us fell back into sync walking behind Jaha and Clarke now as we followed them to wherever Jaha was taking us.

"I'll get revenge later." I rolled my eyes as I looked out into the forest.

"I'm sure you will." Bellamy's arm nudged mine, drawing my attention toward him.

"Are you getting any vibes?" I cocked an eyebrow as I stared at him concerned.

"I'm sorry— vibes?" I blinked confused, sending him a questioning glance.

"Like are you getting any readings or feelings about this place. Was it in your memory?" Bellamy clarified, looking from me to in front of us then back.

"No. No it wasn't. I feel confused. Like this place was never witnessed by the memory giver. I don't think the bunker is here at all. Bell, I can sense the bunker, I know it isn't here. But I know it's nearby or somewhere where I have actually been." Bellamy looked skeptical to trust me, hell I was skeptical to trust this feeling, but I knew he did. Something he did naturally with the me. "This is infuriating." I hissed under my breath wanting to punch a tree.

"Okay, but we should just make sure. I don't exactly know how this memory download thing works, but I believe you." I turned to face him, staring at the side of his face as he turned to face me.

"How do you do that?" I gazed around his eyes as he looked confused.

"What?"

"How do you just trust? Especially me." I saw understanding cross his eyes as well as a flash of something else. Trust was hard for me, the only person I knew I could trust always, was me. It makes for a lonely world, no matter how many times I try to open up to others.

"Because, you've proven that I can." He gave me a smile, but I could see there was something else hidden behind his words and his eyes.

"The bunker would have been at the lowest point." Jaha's instructions shook me from my reading. Bellamy and I once again snapping into focus. My feet carried me in front of the group once again as I checked the field.
