Grounder Princess - Bellamy Blake

Six - Poison

Arwen stood besides Clarke as they watched the flares, everyone hoping the Ark would see them in time. Out of nowhere, Bellamy's voice snapped her out of her thoughts. "Do you think they can see it up there?" He questioned her. "Dunno, I hope so. For everyone and those 300 people's sake." Arwen replied. "Can you wish on this type of shooting star?" Clarke asked randomly. The two gave her a strange look. "Forget it." She sighs. "I don't even know what I'd wish for, you?" Arwen asked Clarke and Bellamy. Clarke glanced towards where Raven and Finn cuddled as they watched the flares. Raven turned and gave her a sweet smile, while Bellamy glanced down at Arwen slightly, not going unnoticed by the blond.

Arwen was now laying in her's and Bellamy's tent, when he suddenly barged in, a panicked look in his eyes that could only mean one thing. Octavia. "Have you seen Octavia?" He asked, his voice laced with worry, confirming her suspicion. "No, but it's Octavia, maybe she's just chasing butterflies." She suggested. "No! I looked everywhere! She's not in camp." He snapped. She sat up, meeting his eyes. "Alright, I'll help you find her. You check the dropship, I'll check the tents, okay?" She told him. "Thank you." He sighed. "Don't thank me, I'm doing this for Octavia." She replied curtly before going to check the other tents like she'd told Bellamy she'd do.

"My sister has been out there for 12 hours! Arm up, we're not coming back without her." Bellamy ordered as he dropped weapons into a pile in the middle of camp, grabbing everyone's attention. Arwen watched from the edge of the gathered crowd, watching as Jasper picked up a weapon and Clarke tried to make him stay. "We need a tracker, Finn, get out here." Bellamy yelled. When Finn still hadn't appeared, Bellamy got impatient. "Finn! Now!" He yelled again. "Alright alright, I'm coming!" He said as he left his tent with a new haircut. "Nice haircut, Spacewalker." Arwen called, surprised that her purposeful slip-up was unnoticed. Instead, Finn grinned at her. "Oh my god, look at that!" Someone in the crowd said in awe, everyone looking up to the sky to see some sort of falling white stars. "They didn't see the flares." Raven whispered. "A meteor shower tells you that?" Bellamy asked the girl, confused. "It's a funeral, hundreds of bodies being returned to the ground. This is what it looks like on the other side. They didn't get our message." Clarke said sadly. "This is all because of you!" Raven screamed, going to lunge at Bellamy, but luckily Finn and Clarke held her back. "Yea, he knows. And now he has to live with it." Ariel said. "All I know is that my sister is out there, and I'm going to find her. You coming or not?" He boomed. The people started to move out, but Bellamy held back for a few seconds, eyeing the sky with clear remorse on his face, before his eyes fell to Arwen, who was already looking at him. "We need you to come. Someone who knows the terrain." He told her. With a small shrug, she followed beside him.

"Look, over there!" Someone called out after an hour, pointing to a bush where there seemed to be a piece of cloth stuck on one of the branches. "Rope." Bellamy ordered, tying it around his waist as he went to inspect the cloth. "It's hers! I'm going all the way down." He announced. Arwen took the rope, going down next. She found him kneeling over a rock. "It's fresh." He told her, showing her his bloody fingers. "The footprints are deeper that way, he was carrying her." Finn said. "That means she's alive. Just like when they took me." Jasper said. "Very comforting Goggles." Arwen muttered, standing up and taking the lead with Bellamy once more.

Hours later, they arrived in front of a part of the woods that Arwen knew well. Skulls and threats in trig were written there, making half the group back away. "I don't speak grounder, but I'm pretty sure that means keep out." Finn says. "Oh no, it means 'Welcome! Please come in!'" Arwen said, sarcasm dripping from her voice. "Go back if you want, my sister, my responsibility." Bellamy said. Some were way too eager to leave in Arwen's opinion, yet she didn't comment on it and bit her tongue. "I'd walk into hell to find her." Jasper said bravely. "I think we just did." Finn says quietly.
