BOOK 2 OF THE BELLAMY BLAKE SERIES
"You used to know me." I murmur, staring at my hands as if they show the blood that coats them.
"No," Bellamy shakes his head. "I do know you, Hailey," he grabs my chin.
"I'm a monster," I say, a tear falling dow...

After getting back to the camp, Raven opts to sit in the radio tent, much to my dismay.
"Rae you need to rest," I sigh, helping her sit down.
"I'll rest when I see our friends again," She rolls her eyes just as a transmission comes through the radio.
"47 of us are trapped inside Mount Weather." A voice comes through, causing Raven and I to look at each other. She stays seated while I jump up and run out to the clearing.
"Guys," I yell out to Bellamy and Clarke. "You need to hear this." I say before going back into the tent with them following.
Clarke's eyes go wide as she listens to the message. "Talk to him, say something." She urges, her eyes wide.
Raven shakes her head while I answer. "We can't, Clarke." I sigh. "It's repeating."
"We don't know how much time we have left, please hurry." The voice continues.
"We need to do this now," Bellamy says with me nodding along. "We've got the alliance now is the time to use it." He makes eye contact with me and my heart clenches, knowing that I'll have to let him go into Mount Weather and I won't be able to go with him.
"We need an inside man." Clarke says, causing me to glare at her. "You were right without someone on the inside to lower their defenses, turn off the acid fog an army's useless." She rambles before glancing at me and then at Bellamy. "You should go."
"Clarke..." I mutter, my blood boiling.
"I thought you hated that plan." Bellamy says, interlocking our fingers. He's trying to calm me down but it's not working. "That I would get myself killed."
"I was being weak," Clarke continues and this time I scoff. "It's worth the risk." She continues, side eyeing me. "My map of Mount Weather." She says handing him the map. "Find a way to get on that radio and talk to us." She sighs. "Good luck."
"Good luck?" I scoff again. "Clarke you're insane if you think that I'm going to let Bellamy go there alone." I tilt my head and narrow my eyes. "Did Lexa give you the love is weak speech?" I ask stepping forward. "Because she's wrong, love makes you stronger." I sigh after seeing her guarded expression.
"You're wrong and this is an order." She clenches her jaw. "You are to remain here when Bellamy leaves."
My heart thuds in my ears as anger floods my body. "The hell I am, Blondie." I hiss, my voice lowering. "I don't take orders from people like you."
"People like me?" She asks, her voice betraying her broken mind.
"Yeah, people that don't appreciate the people that they have in their corner." I shake my head at her before spitting at her feet. "I don't take orders from you, so don't try." I murmur before walking away with Bellamy following me.
"Bellamy!" Lincoln yells out as I walk away, causing me to stop, but not turn around. "I can get you through the tunnels."
I don't have to turn around to see Bellamy looking at me. Their voices fade away as Bellamy walks away, leaving me by myself.
"I'm losing people right in front of me." I mutter, swallowing the lump in my throat. I begin walking towards the tree that I climbed when we first landed here.
It takes 15 minutes but I finally arrive at the tall oak tree with yellowing leaves. I sigh as I look up at it before I begin to climb.
It takes a few minutes, but I make it to the branch I usually sit on. My heart throbs as I look out at the forest.
"How am I going to help Bellamy?" I think out loud, my voice cracking. I shove my palms onto my eyes and rub away the dried tears.
"I can't get through the way they do," I sigh, holding my head. "I could gain their trust, sell out my friends." I shake my head. "I could sell out Clarke..." I murmur before shaking my head again. "No, she's trying."
"I need to gain their trust somehow, so I can have free rein inside." I look down at my chipped and cracked nails, sighing.
"I could ask my sister about methods that are more efficient..." I tilt my head before nodding to myself. "I'll offer my sister." I say, causing the air to leave my lungs.
"She traveled down to earth in a pod, so she was exposed to more radiation than any of us." My breathing begins to quicken. "But, I'd be selling her out." My eyes widen as I imagine her death. "But I'd save everyone."
My eyes catch sight of movement in the distance. I go rigid before grabbing some of my throwing knives.
I catch sight of a familiar figure.
"Miloch?" I ask before climbing down. My feet hit the ground and I stand up to meet him.
"I heard you plan," He murmurs. "It's not a good idea."
I shake my head. "I have to gain their trust. I can get close to them and then I can hold someone as leverage." I ramble off ideas.
He just watches me. "Did I turn you into this?" He asks suddenly.
"What?" I ask, stopping.
"Was it me that made you happy to sell out your own family?" He asks, tilting his head.
"Bellamy has been better to me than Riv ever was, Miloch." I say, my voice low.
He doesn't say anything. "You know I'll help you with anything, but this?" He asks, shaking his head. "It's going to be tough, Hailey."
I sigh and look down before nodding to myself. "Then it's a good thing I had a good teacher."
