Thief - Bellamy Blake

Skybox

This is a rewrite of Wild Card so yes you will see some of the same lines and plot from that book. I own both books so it's not copyright, same goes for my third Bellamy book.

I started stealing at 15, for a mother so her daughter had clothes, medicine and food. I only knew the daughters name but I never met her but I met her brother tho. Bellamy, tall with dark wavy hair and freckles across his face.

                       ***

At 16 I was locked up. Shoved into a cell with no way out. I'm now stuck in the skybox, it's a prison until your 18, then you get floated for your crimes. A boy named Poseidon had been my guard for over a year and After a while he asked me out.

I'll admit, it was the best relationship ever. We would always fight and he would always get physically violent but I still fell in love.

A year went by and cell mates had been and gone from being in my cell. Today was the day that I would yet again have a new friend. I waited for my new "buddy" to arrive, I knew she would be moved a week later so I wasn't excited.

"Prisoner 136 meet your new cell mate, 124" a guard said opening my cell door.

He pushed the poor girl into my cell and shut the door loudly then proceeded to walk off back down the halls of the ark.

"Sorry they can be really rude. I'm Hera" i introduced myself, helping the girl to her feet again.

She kept looking down, avoiding eye contact. She was a shy one that's for sure. Definitely not like the others.

"Octavia" she spoke softly dusting here hands off onto her already dirty pants.

My heart practically skipped a beat when I heard those words. I looked at her with wide eyes and she looked at me with confusion all over her face.

"What? You look like you've seen a ghost you okay?" She questioned me laughing.

"Octavia Blake the girl kept hidden under the floor" I smiled as I snapped my finger pointing at the raven haired girl.

"Yep that's me" octavia whispered, hiding her face once again from me.

She had grown up to look just like her mom. Long brown hair that was down past her shoulders and browns eyes like her brother.

"I'm sorry Aurora got floated, both you and Bellamy must've been devastated" I stated.

Octavia froze in place not daring to make the slightest movement.

"How'd you know my mom and brothers names?" She asked me.

"how do you think you got all those clothes and food huh?" I smiled at her as I went to sit back down on my bunk.

"You got locked up because you were stealing for me?" Octavia questioned me sitting in the edge of the bed.

"Yes and no, i uh, i killed my parents" i said softly. "I confessed to the stealing after my trial I mean either way I'm dead right?" I sighed.

I told her what they would do to me everyday and when they found out I was stealing it only got worse.

"Bellamy would tell me about you" she replied with a smiled on her face. Now this was intriguing to me.

"How so?" I laughed wanting to know her answer to this.

"Everyday he would come home and tell me about how he met this girl that was younger then him. She'd have long brown hair and bright emerald green eyes. He said she had the face of an angel" Octavia explained to me.
