Since Day One

Part 56. Goodbyes

I raised my hand for everyone to fall silent, "Tonight we will permit Skaikru to sleep in the tower, divide them in the dorms, make sure they are well fed for dinner and have a nice night, it just might be their last."

My guards began scattering as they left the room, I could tell that Clarke wanted to say something but she didn't, she just let herself be escorted away to her room.

——————————————-

Once I was in my room, I didn't know what to do, I'm The commander now and I have to kill some of the most important people to me tomorrow. I went into the small washroom and changed into decently long night gown, it had a deeper cleavage than I would want but it would, the large back opening in the back of the dress was nice though, a nice breeze came in through the windows. When I walked out of the wash room a quickly pulled out the elastic that held up my hair and it fell against my shoulders, once I looked up I saw Bellamy in my room.

Bellamys POV:
Y'all can play the song if you want for this scene.

I scattered the room trying to find Octavias jacket before Bela showed up, but I'm too late, as she walked out of the washroom she looked as beautiful as ever, no matter how mad I was at her, I couldn't deny the beauty in front of me, her hair fell perfectly as she pulled out the elastic. Mesmerized by her beauty I immediately shook it off, "Sorry, Octavia just needed me to find a jacket she left here a while ago."

She nodded and made her way across the room as far away from me as possible. My eyes laid on my sisters jacket and I took it, made my way for the door but stopped at the sound of my name.

"Bellamy."

I looked back at Bela sitting on the bed.

"This is the last conversation we're ever going to have together isn't it."She spoke.

She's right, no matter what happens, tomorrow, one of us ends up dead, "Taken that tomorrow if you win, that means you'd have killed my sister, but if you lose- if you lose, one of us won't be alive."

Bela cleared her throat, but her face stayed neutral, just like her sister, I only hoped the flame didn't change her too much.

"Listen, I'm sorry for what has to happen, but it does need to happen." She said to me. "No. It doesn't, you're the commander, you can change it Bel." I continued to try and stop this madness. "I already explained to you what would happen Bellamy, must I explain myself once more." She responded.

"No. This isn't fair Bela." I continued.
"Nothing is fair Bellamy, but this is the only way we can ensure the survival of the human race." She explained.

"I don't care about the survival of the human race if that means my sister gets to live! You going in that arena tomorrow means that I have to watch the woman that I-" I had to stop myself, right now I couldn't tell her how much I loved her, how I hated being away from her, I had to try and stop this conclave, "The woman that I've trusted for the past 4 months to keep my people alive kill my little sister."

Bela, calm as ever stood up, "I understand your pain Bellamy, you've always done what's best for your people, even if it means sacrificing your own happiness, that's why I—" she cut herself off, "That's why you're you, a good leader.

"Don't talk to me about pain! You're starting this war, hell going in there tomorrow and killing everyone is probably going to be easy on you." I scoffed, immediately after I said that I knew I shouldn't have. I knew exactly how she felt about the things she'd done in the past and now I'm using it against her.
