Grounder Princess - Bellamy Blake

Four - Murphy's Law

Arwen had officially been cleared from being a prisoner, except from Bellamy, he was still keeping a very close eye on her, almost shadowing her at all time. Clarke had offered to share her tent with Arwen, only for Bellamy to snap, arguing that she'd stay in his tent where he could keep an eye on her. Ever since Wells was killed, the camp had been on edge. Ariel was sure that if it wasn't for the fact that she was with Clarke, Finn and Octavia taking care of Jasper, Bellamy or the camp would've accused her immediately. Truth was, she'd liked Wells. Now she sat with Clarke at Wells' grave. "You two shouldn't be out here alone." Finn said as he walked up to the two. "What if I was a grounder? They got Wells right outside the wall." He added. Clarke stayed quiet while Arwen looked at him pointingly. "I got you something." He said to Clarke, wanting to lighten the mood. He handed her a pencil. Her face lit up. "Where'd you get this?" She asked him eagerly. "The art supply store." He joked. Clarke went back to her grief struck expression. "I remember when Wells would give me ink, charcoal, or anything to draw with really. He'd trade his own stuff for me." She said sadly. "He made me hate him so I wouldn't hate my mother. My mother killed my father." She began to cry. "I wish there was a way for her to know that I know, to make her feel what I'm-" She stopped, turning around towards camp. "Where are you going?" Finn asked. "To make her feel my pain." She hissed. "This isn't going to be good." Finn muttered as he glanced at Arwen. "I figured that out when she started walking." The girl replied, following after the blonde.

Clarke had taken off that wristband some of the kids had. Apparently, to what Finn had told her, they were all arrested for small crimes back in space, but now they found out they were running out of oxygen, so they got sent down to test the ground for them, and the wristband transmitted their vital signs back to the Ark. Once she was out of the drop ship, she was met with a guy she knew as Connor kneeling on the ground, sweating and panting. "Hey! You think the grounders are going to wait for you to build the wall? Maybe we should let the little girl do the lifting for you instead, huh?" Murphy snapped at Connor, pointing towards Charlotte. "I just need some water alright? Then I'll be fine." Connor replied. "Murphy, just get this guy some water." Bellamy ordered, turning to Charlotte he added. "You got this?" He asked, but when she tried to get it, he grabbed the tree instead. "I'm just joking." He smiled. She felt a light tug on her sleeve, turning to see Finn. "Hey, I'm going exploring, and since you know the place... wanna come?" He offered her. She shrugs. "I don't see why not." She replied. "Oh and um, since you're like.. one of us now, I was wondering if you wanted, well I uh-" He stopped his stuttering, instead just handing her a piece of navy clothing. "It's all yours if you want it." He concluded. She took the clothes in her hands, finding it to be a navy jacket. A smile crept on her face. "Thanks. Really." She said, putting it on top of her black tank top she was already wearing. It fitted her perfectly, just enough oversized and the color made her eye color pop out. "It goes well with your eyes, Robin." He comments. "Robin, really? What's the thing with you guys giving me nicknames!" She chuckled. They walked out into the woods.

"So, you and Clarke huh?" Arwen comments once they were out of earshot from anyone nearby. "Shut up." Finn said, blushing. "I can tell she likes you." Arwen continued anyway. He smiles happily. "You think?" He asked hopefully, his eyes lighting up. "Definitely." She replied. Out of everyone in this camp, Finn was definitely the person who trusted her the most, he saw her as a friend, someone he'd known since his childhood even, she liked him for that. Then there was Clarke, who looked up to her, Octavia who was intrigued by her, and Bellamy, who was probably the only one in his right mind by not trusting her. "If I'm being honest here, I've seen Bellamy looking at you a lot recently." Finn said as they entered a bunker. "Pff, he's only keeping an eye on me as usual." She protested. "Maybe, but he could easily just make one of his goons do it for him." The shaggy haired boy continued, not letting her win. "Just as easily as I could fight them off and run." Arwen argues. Had it been Bellamy, he would've thrown a fit about how he knew she was trying to run off whenever she'd get the chance, but Finn simply laughed, knowing she didn't mean that, even though he knew she'd probably be able to very well. Glancing down at Finn's wrist, she noticed he still had the wristband. "You still have people up there?" She asked him, talking about the Ark. He hesitated. "Yea, Raven." He finally said. "Who's she? Your sister?" She guessed. "No, on the Ark there's a law that we can't have more than one child. She's my uh, a close friend." He said guiltily. "I got arrested for her. It was her birthday, and I took her on an illegal space walk, we were gonna get caught so I took the blame." He told her. "You're a good person Finn." She simply said. Finn opened up a bunker door, the two looking at each other excitedly and jumping down the ladder. "Woah! Check out this place!" Finn said in amazement. Arwen smiled lightly, going towards an object she knew as a camera. "That a camera?" Finn asked, joining her side as she pressed a red button. "Think so. Wait, I think it's filming?" She wondered, the camera facing the two before she turned it around to see a small screen. Meanwhile, Finn put on a dinosaur mask he'd found and tried to scare her from behind. "Finn!" She exclaimed, bending over with laugher. "You're no better than a two year old, really." She comments, watching as he took off the mask and grinned at her. "Maybe, but you're no better than me." He countered proudly. "Sure. You think we should tell the others about this place?" "No way! Someone might steal my handsome green mask!" He joked, taking the camera to check how it worked too. "Arie, say hi!" He told her, pointing the camera towards her as she was taking out a bunch of drawing supplies. She turned towards him and stuck out her tongue while making a peace sign with her left hand, the other hand holding a drawing book. "No! It's filming! Well, I think." Finn said, to which they both laugh. "Well then, hi, I'm Arwen, I'm amazing and Finn absolutely loves me." She announced to the camera with a proud smirk, looking at Finn standing behind it who lowered it and shook his head. "Of course, of course." He teased, turning the camera back to him. "Huh, I think it turned off now." He decides, putting his face in the lenses before closing the flat screen on the side. "We should go back to camp, or the others will go down hill without us, or should I say, the only smart ones." Arwen said with a wink, causing Finn to laugh. She went to climb the ladder, but not before Finn put the camera in his pockets and followed her out. "Well, that bunker was defiantly our best find yet, right?" She asked him. As they walked back to camp, the sound of screams caught their attention. Exchanging looks, they sped off in a sprint. Now closer to camp, they could hear the name of Bellamy being cheered on, followed by Clarke's pleas. What they saw next froze them both. "What the hell are you doing?" Finn snapped. Arwen trained her eyes from Murphy's hanging figure from the tree, to the people cheering, to Bellamy and Clarke arguing. "Cut him down now! Charlotte, get out of here, cut him down now!" He yelled, making his way to Murphy, only to have Connor pull out a knife at him. "Get out of my way!" "Stop okay? Murphy didn't kill Wells, I did!" A small voice screamed. Everyone stopped, staring at Charlotte. "Oh my god." Clarke whispered, taking Bellamy's hatchet and cutting Murphy down. Finn caught Arwen's eyes just as a strong hand gripped her arm and pulled her with them. She turned around to be met with Bellamy's wide and worried eyes, dragging her to a tent. Finn and Clarke followed, bringing Charlotte with them.
