Find Me (Bellarke's fanfic)

5. The berries

BELLAMY 

"Raven, what are you doing?"

I stepped into the ark's lab and looked curiously at the familiar brunette who was behind the table.

"I'm working on a new weapon", Raven answered me cheerfully. I noticed she was all covered in what seemed like powder, a few metal pieces were spread on the table and she was grinning hugely.

I couldn't help but smile in amusement, it was nice to see her happy after everything we had been trough. I walked towards the table and stood next to her watching carefully as she was building something I had no clue about.

"You know, Wick might get jealous now that you're getting into all this stuff again", I chucked, "I bet he liked having you all for himself".

"Oh, shut up Bellamy", she rolled her eyes and elbowed me in the stomach as I bursted out laughing, "He knows he can't compete against my love for mechanics", a smirk took place on her lips.

I continued laughing as a shook my head and placed one of my hands on the table. I took a look at the thing Raven was building but still had no clue of what was it, so I didn't have a choice but to ask her.

"What's this?", I crossed my arms against my chest.

"It's a new weapon I've been working from a while now. It's a new kind of bomb, it doesn't explode at the instant, instead we can make it blow whenever we want", she answered pointing at what seemed like an interruptor. It was a small squared piece of metal, which I assumed had a complex circuit on its inside, and had a huge red button at the top.

I raised an eyebrow, wondering why would she built such thing. It wasn't like we were in any danger, the grounders were gone and there was anyone left at the mountain. I stared at her for a while without saying a word and she must've heard my thoughts because she frowned before saying "I know what you think. You think I'm afraid we might need these", she kept her eyes on the bomb, and sighed before turning her head up and looking me right in the eyes.

"It's not fear. It's just-" I let out a sight and closed my eyes briefly, "I don't want anyone to worry. We've been through enough to have a little peace, I think we all deserve a break", I turned and moved a bit away from the table.

"I'm not doing this because I think someone might come and try to kill us all, you know", Raven shrugged, "but being prepared does not harm", she smirked as she put a hand on my shoulder.

I snorted, "Whatever you say", I chucked and walked a few steps away from the table.

"Just relax", she rolled her eyes at me, "you know I love doing this stuff, besides, it's not like I have something better to do. I don't need to see Wick's face the whole day."

I laughed at her comment and started walking to the exit door, "See you around, Rave, let me know when those things are finished", I waved at her as I stepped out the lab.

At the moment I got out the door I heard someone scream.

"Don't you dare say you're my best friend, you two-faced bastard!"

Those words came from Jasper. He was holding a gun pointing at Monty's head. Monty looked pale and his hands were in the air, defensively as he took a few steps away from Jasper, "Calm down, bud. You really need to calm down", he said calmly looking him in the eye.

"Don't tell me what to do", Jasper took a step in Monty's direction, and everyone let out an horrified scream. Every single person outside the ark was now surrounding them both in a circle. I hurried and ran to them, hopping I would be able to stop Jasper from shooting his friend.

"Whoa, chill man", I stepped in front of Jasper, just between him and Monty. Now I had a crazy Jasper and a gun pointing at my head.

"Get. Out. Of. The. Way.", Jasper said in clenched teeth, "Get out of the way before I shoot you Bellamy!", he yelled at me getting closer and closer.

"What the hell is wrong with you?", I confronted him. He had this weird look in his eyes, like he wasn't himself. I couldn't tell if it was rage or craziness that was coming out of him. He was muttering under his breath words I couldn't understand.

"Jasper, you need to calm down and stop pointing me with that gun", I told him calmly. I could hear Monty shaking and trembling behind me.

"And you need to get out of the way so I can end him", Jasper replied with such anger I thought he would pull the trigger anytime.

"He ate the berries", Monty explained behind me.

I turned around and gave him an incredulous look. "What?"

"He ate the berries" Monty reassured, "I don't know who give them to him".

A few days ago Jasper, Octavia, Monty and myself went into the woods to explore a little. After a couple of hours we found those singular berries which where hanging on a small tree. The berries looked harmless and they seemed tasty, so Octavia couldn't help herself and she grabbed a few and put them on her mouth.

She ate them desperately. There had been a while since the last time any of us had eaten. We watched her as she swallowed every single one of them and after a few minutes, just before Monty was about to grab one, Octavia went all crazy and started screaming about how it was my fault that our mother had been killed and that how I shouldn't have let her go to that dance.

She started punching me and she almost strangled me to death, just before Jasper hit her in the head and she fell unconscious. We carried her to the camp and it took a few days before she recovered completely from the effects. She kept on hallucinating and she had rage problems.

That's how we figured the berries were damn dangerous. Before we headed to the camp carrying Octavia, I grabbed a few and put them on a jar. Just in case.

We had them hidden on the ark, somewhere only the four of us knew where they were.

"You know only the four of us know about those berries. Monty did you give them to him?" I asked him angrily.

"Of course I didn't Bellamy", he assured.

"Shut up you two!", Jasper screamed behind me, "You know what? I should just kill you both. You were the ones who killed Maya. You let her die", I felt Jasper walked closer to us and as I turned around to face him someone hit him in the head.

Octavia was holding a shovel with both of her hands.

"Thank God", Monty exhaled behind me. I rolled my eyes and started walking the now unconscious Jasper lying on the floor.

"Just in time", I looked at my sister, as she rolled her eyes and helped me pick up Jasper from the floor.

I sighed. "Would you mind explain to me how the hell did Jasper eat those berries?", I asked Octavia.

"Do you think I know? Someone must've found them", we kept carrying Jasper to the ark.

"You know only the four of us knew about those berries. It wasn't me, Monty was the one being pointed with a gun in the first place so I don't think he did it, and if it wasn't you, then who?"

Octavia shrugged in confusion as

we reached the ark and Kane opened the door for us, asking what had happened. As we let Jasper to his bed we explained him the whole berries thing.

"Someone gave them to Jasper in porpoise. I know it ", I said out loud. Octavia and Kane gave me a worried look and they nodded.

"We need to find out who, and why", Kane said.

Then it hit me.

I should've figured this at the beginning. I knew who had given Jasper the berries, and now I realized why the person did it.

I needed to find him.
