Atlantis

Chapter Fifty

Faye picked up her pace as the man behind her kept following her. She began to run until she ran into a woman talking to a box at her ear.

The city was full of people ignoring each other and rushing through the tall buildings.

Nobody she knew was there, until she noticed Jasper crossing the street with an ice cream in his hand and a smile on his face.

"Jasper?" Faye asked as he walked past her. "He can't see me." She realized as everyone ignored her.

Faye rushed through the people, stopping when she saw the sacred symbol on a light by the street. She started towards it until a voice in her head caused her to stop.

"Faye..." It was the same voice she heard at the table of Commanders. The voice of the first commander.

She began to rush through the city, following anything that looked like the sacred symbol on the chip and Flame.

Bellamy left the throne room. Actually, Clarke and Abby kicked him out, as his pacing wasn't helping anyone. He walked down the hall until he saw Miller carrying his boyfriend, who was injured.

"You left her with Pike?" He asked the two boys. They hobbled away.

He went into the Commander's room and found Octavia watching Pike get beat by everyone coming from the window. 

"O, what are you doing?" He demanded. He ran to go and try to help Pike.

"Bellamy, no." Octavia grabbed his arm, trying to stop him.

Bellamy shot the two people attacking Pike, while he snapped the third guy's neck.

"Hey. Come on. Can you stand?" Bellamy asked, helping the man up.

"She cut me." Pike said, glaring at Octavia.

"Come on. We gotta go." Bellamy helped Pike along, trying to get them all out of the bedroom.

"But we can't give up the room." Pike protested.

"We already have." Bellamy and Octavia shut the doors, quickly piling anything they could find in front of it. 

"I told you, you need to get yourself under control if we're gonna survive this. Uh!" He tried to lift a dresser, stacking it against the door.

They all threw themselves onto the blockade.

"O? O, listen to me." Bellamy said. "I know how you feel. I let my need for revenge put me on the wrong side. I don't want that for you." He said before the doors started to budge.

"You keep the door closed. I'll get more for the blockade." She ran down the hall as fast as she could.

"Wasn't the wrong side. If the Grounder army was still there when Lexa died, they would have attacked, and you know it. A pair of pretty blue eyes blinded you from that." Pike said.

"I wanted to see things like you. I needed that, to believe that they were bad and we were good. But I don't know what I believe anymore. I just know I have to live with what I've done." 

Bellamy tried to push as hard as he could against the resistance of the people on the other side, but now his mind was distracted by all the pain he caused. Faye would always remember what he did to her people, and he would never forgive himself for forcing her into a war she was trying so hard to prevent.

"Uh!" Faye fell to the ground, watching small drops of her own blood fall to the ground.
