Brave new world

Chapter 10

Clarke's POV

We were all sitting in the dining room but I couldn't stop thinking about what had happened, and well, Bellamy.

What am I missing? Something clearly happened with Bellamy.

Did he really betray us just like that? Or was he just playing his part really well? After all, Bellamy has always been good undercover.

Would he really go as far as to put me in m-cap if he really still cared?

What have they done to you Bellamy?

"Earth to Clarke!" I was startled out of my thoughts by Miller.

"Sorry, did you say something to me?"

"I asked if you were fine. Octavia here was just telling us about Bellamy turning on us and taking you to m-cap. Would you like to talk about it?"

"Oh. Uhm yeah I'm as good as I can be. Thank you for asking though Miller, really."

"So, did they manage to find out anything in there? Not that we'd blame you if they did but it'd be ideal that they don't." Raven finally asked what everyone wanted to say.

"Fortunately they didn't. I tried hard to think about anyone other than, well you know. That ended up with a lot of memories with, someone else, and while I didn't really wish sharing those it kept her safe. The flame is still safe for now."

"Someone else huh? It wouldn't happen to be a certain traitor?" Murphy chimed in, with no bitterness in his voice despite his words.

Looks like I'm not the only one who still believes in Bellamy.

"Watch it Murphy. That's my boyfriend you're talking about. As if he and Clarke are anything more than friends." Echo warned Murphy.

Friends. Yeah. That's how Bellamy sees me. Well, saw me as now I'm probably not even that to him apparently.

"That's your boyfriend but I don't see you caring too much that he's either betrayed us willingly or he's brainwashed. You only care about him when Clarke is mentioned?" Emori jumped in to her boyfriend's defense.

That earned a glare from Echo. Without adding anything else she stood up and asked a guard positioned outside the door to escort her back to her room.

An uncomfortable silence fell upon us with Echo's exit. Someone needed to break the ice.

"So, uhm, how did I get back after the m-cap? I fainted in there and then I woke up in our room?" I turned to Octavia, who had been silent so far.

"Uh, what's the last thing you remember?"

"Hmm, I think they were seeing a memory of mine before I blacked out. I have no idea what happened next."

"So this might not mean anything okay? Maybe he was just instructed to do so, maybe he wanted to I can't know for sure."

"What? Octavia you're not making sense."

"Bellamy. He brought you back. I don't know much, just that he entered the room holding you up."

"B- Bellamy? Holding me how?"
