Wells was dead
I was working on a wall section with Charlotte when Bellamy walked over, his usually stoic face having an even more enraged expression. He stopped in front of me as I gave him a small smile. "What the hell happened to your face?" He asked as I dropped a piece of rope I was fixing around a log. "Nothing Bellamy, drop it." He stepped closer, "No, Natalia. Who the hell punched you?" He asked a little sterner this time. I couldn't tell him it was his sister. But dumbass me felt like I could trust him, "It was Octavia alright. She didn't react the best when I told her I was the one who killed Atom."
He sighed, rubbing his hands over his face in annoyance. "Just let us finish the wall and go do your thing." He rolled his eyes, going to stand by Murphy. They had been talking about something when a boy I knew as conner fell to his knees carrying a reasonably large tree. Murphy yelled as he walked over to him. "You think the grounders are just going to sit around and wait for us to finish the wall?" Murphy shouted. He pointed to Charlotte, who was standing next to me, "Maybe we should let the little girl do the lifting for you."
"John, stop being a dick." I snapped, looking right at him.
"I just need some water, ok? Then I'll be fine." Finally, Conner breathed out, exhausted since we had all been working non-stop all day. Bellamy walked up next to Murphy, "Murphy, get this guy some water." Bellamy ordered as he looked toward the little girl next to me, "Hey. You got this?" He asked, smiling, meeting her just before she was about to pick up the large tree she probably couldn't lift. "I'm just kidding." He said as she smiled. "I got it," I exclaimed. A small smirk appeared on my lips as I saw the way Bellamy acted toward Charlotte. Bellamy held a hand up, stopping me from reaching it. "Your healing still, no way." I rolled my eyes as he hopped over the large wood. "What are you doing?" I asked, going back to tying logs together. "How are you?" He questioned back. I scoffed, looking over at his serious expression, realizing he was genuinely concerned. I sighed, turning back to him. "I'm fine. Don't you remember? Octavia told me not to talk to you." I eyed the brunette from the other side of the camp who had been glaring at me anytime I talked to her brother. Earlier that day, to sum it up, she had told me I 'wasn't allowed to speak to Bellamy. Apparently, I was a 'bad influence.'
If only she knew. Bellamy was about to speak when Conner yelled from behind him. "What the hell is wrong with you, Murphy?!" We both snapped our heads around, seeing Murphy peeing on him. Conner pushed him as two boys held him back. Murphy zipped his pants back up as I stepped over the tree, instantly throwing my fist into Murphy's nose. I heard a crunching sound as my knuckles collided with his now broken nose. "The fuck is wrong with you, John?!" I boomed as she clutched his nose in pain, stumbling back. "He wanted a water break," Murphy smirked, the blood from his nose flooding his face. "You know damn well that isn't what he meant." I pushed him again as he pushed me back by my shoulders. I pulled out my knife, sticking it to his throat. "Touch me again. You won't even be able to say anything before this blade goes out the back of your jugular." He smirked as I felt hands on the back of my waist. "Let it go, Natalia." I recognized the voice as Bellamy. I let him pull me a little further before I saw Murphy smirk. I smacked his hands off me, "Don't fucking touch me." I shouted, walking into a random tent as I heard Murphy order everyone to get back to work rather loudly.
***The Ark***
Abby swiped her security pass as she walked in on Raven drilling another part into their makeshift pod. "How soon can you get this thing ready to drop?" She asked the young mechanic. "I'm still scraping up parts to fabricate a pressure regulator." She paused as Abby sighed, "We got two more days, right?" She questioned.
"Can we launch without that part?"
"We could launch, but we'll be dead before we get to the ground." Raven joked back. "And I mean bad dead. Ruptured lungs, air bubbles in the brain...We need that part." Abby rubbed her head in anger as Raven asked again, "Why what's wrong? Did something change?" She stood there silently before answering, "Clarke's wristband signal went out." She paused, "As did uh- another girl I had known." Raven stopped working on the pod as she stood up. "Yeah, but that doesn't mean anything, right? They both took it off like the rest of them." Raven tried to sympathize. Abby didn't say anything, too far deep into thinking about what could've happened. Raven noticed as she spoke again, "Okay." She popped her jacket back on, "I can get a pressure regulator today."
