Gona Heda (The 100)

Ep 3/Chap 6

I jolted awake at the sound of hearing someone screaming in terror.

I turn my head and see that it's Charlotte. Apparently Bellamy woke up too since he was shaking Charlotte to wake her up from her nightmare.

I'm too tired for this.

I also couldn't care less about the cheesy moment I knew the two were about to have so I turned onto the other side, my back now facing them, trying to force myself to sleep.

But I was curious.

I wanted to listen in and hear what Bellamy had to say to her.

"Sorry." Charlotte mumbled, barely audible.

"Does it happen often?" Bellamy questioned.

Probably.

Charlotte doesn't say anything which confirms my thought.

"What are you scared of?" Charlotte doesn't answer.

"You know what? It doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is what you do about it." I furrow my eyebrows, listening more intently.

What do you want someone to do with the nightmares? Say, 'hey come back later cause I'm not in the mood right now' I almost laugh but i stop myself from doing so.

"But... I'm asleep."

"Fears are fears. Slay your demons when you're awake, they won't be there to get you when you sleep."

How does one slay their demons if the true demons are their own thoughts?

Woah, I'm a poet.

"Yeah, but... how?"

"You can't afford to be weak. Down here, weakness is death, fear is death. Let me see that knife I gave you."

What is she doing with that knife?

Oh my god are they planning to kill me?!

I'm too young— no, I'm too beautiful to die!

I refuse to die before Wells Jaha.

"Now, when you feel afraid, you hold tight to that knife and you say, 'screw you. I'm not afraid.'"

Oh.

I'm not dying today.

Maybe another time then.

"Screw you. I'm not afraid." Charlotte copied Bellamys words but quietly.

Hah, weak.

There was silence after she said that and can only assume that Bellamy is giving her a look to do better than that.

Charlotte cleared her throat before repeating with more confidence this time. "Screw you. I'm not afraid."

"Slay your demons, kid. Then you'll be able to sleep."

Hm. I should try that sometime.

"What, you get demons too?" My back was still facing Bellamy but he must've saw my breathing was irregular.

I sigh and sit up. "You are the demon, Bellamy"

He rolls his eyes at me. "Then you must be satan."

"The one and only. Ready for your reservation in hell?" I tilted my head to the side with a sarcastic smirk. He lets out a short laugh.

Bellamy laughed.

I made Bellamy Blake laugh.

My smirk quickly fades and is replaced with a huge grin.

I looked like I had just been given a human sized cookie.
