Ark Kingdom: The Magic Within (Bellarke)

Chapter 36

Bellamy's POV

"Clarke!" I call out and feel as if I am being ripped in half. Why would she do this to me? I at least could have taken the torture that I'm sure  is coming her way. I race after them as I shoot upwards. I try to move the rocks above me to get to them but someone holds me back.

"Get off of me! Let go!" I yell and fight against their hold. I try to use the rocks to get them to let go, but they hold me steady.

"Stop, Bell. We can't save her. We can't get to them right now or they will kill us all." Octavia is next to me. I look over at her and can tell that she knows how hard this is for me.

"I don't care. I will go alone. There is no way that I'll let her die for me. It was supposed to be me that they took. I can't do this without her. We need her. I need her." My voice cracks.

"I know, Bell. But we need to be smart about this. She went with them so that we could have time to come up with a plan. We will save her in time, but for now I need you to be strong. I need you to be the leader that you've always been." Octavia helps me up as the arms around me loosen. I turn around to see that it was Lincoln holding me.

Behind him is a stressed looking Wick holding tightly to Raven.

"You!" You had to have known what she was going to do!" I run at him and slam my hands against his chest. "Why didn't you stop her?"

"I didn't know. I swear. Remember what I said about it being hard to read you? Well she used that against me. She brought down that wall and all of your thoughts slammed into my mind so fast that I couldn't even see or hear until she was already gone." He frowns. "I'm sorry, really. I wish I could have stopped her. I wish I were stronger."

"Stop it, Wick. You are the strongest person I know." Raven says and glares at me. Then she turns back to Wick. "It's his own fault. If he didn't want her to go then he should have gone right when they asked for our leader."

"No, Raven. I know how he feels. I can not only see it I've felt it myself. He loves her. He wouldn't let her get hurt. He just wanted to find a way that none of us had to go." Wick rubs his hand on Raven's arm and all I can think is that I wish I could be holding Clarke like he's holding Raven.

"I think I know a way that we can get her back." Monty and Jasper walk up with a solemn looking Finn.

"What?" I ask.

"Well, we will sneak up on their camp. We have one of their own with us." He points to Lincoln who nods his head. "We all love Clarke even if we haven't been with her for long. She is the heart of us. She is the one who will get us home. We all need her; not just you." Monty continues.

"Also, we've all seen what you two can do together. We need you too so you can't give yourself up for her. Is there any way that you can get to her?" Jasper asks.

"No, I don't think so. We can only shift when we are together. When she was in danger once I could feel it and I was able to get to her, but it wasn't very far." I admit.

"Bell, just try." Octavia says and the others nod their heads.

"Okay, I need some space."

They all back up and I bring Clarke up in my mind. I can see her. She's scared. A woman is dragging her behind them. They are going too fast. She can't keep up with them. She trips. I call to her but she can't hear me. I reach down to help her up but she can't feel me.

"Clarke, please. Princess, I'm right here. Just reach out and I'll catch you."

Her head snaps up and she looks right at me. "Bell?"

"What was that?" A big man snaps at her and the woman tugs on the rope that's around her hands causing Clarke to fall forward.

"Nothing." She whispers, but gives me a look that makes me believe that she can still see me.

"Stay strong. I'm coming for you, Princess." I whisper before the image goes blurry.
