Everything we see is perspective not the truth ...
———————
We run through the woods, all panting heavily. I clash into a body, which happens to be Octavia. Monty had face planted in front of her.  He had tripped over a rotten body, nothing left but bones. I scan the area, while the others talk. All of a sudden a scream comes from where we were from. Jasper. He's alive. We run back to the rock we were hiding behind before. He's gone, vanished from thin air.

"Where is he?" Finn asks to none of us in particular.
"They took him." Clarke replies before we all start running again back to camp. I slightly limped, from my thigh now bleeding even worse. I didn't want to seem like a damsel in distress so I run even harder. Pushing the pain away for the problem at hand. I make it back to camp a few minutes before the others. Walking towards the drop ship I here wells and atom arguing. Not before the king of course steps out of the drop ship a random girl following him. I roll my eyes at the sight. Of course he would be thinking about sex only the the second day we'd be down here.

"You still don't get it do you chancellor," He cuts himself off to kiss the random girl, before she walks away. Continuing he says "This is home now, your fathers rules no longer apply."

Damn he looked good, his gelled back hair washed out letting his curls fall across his forehead. And not to mention no shirt. A gun hanging from his waistband as my eyes continue downward. How did he get a gun ? Stealing a uniform, yea but a gun? What did he do? I was staring, I knew it. Practically gawking at him. I turn my head before he notices me. But he already had noticed me, he knew I was standing there the entire time.

"Don't get jealous on me now king, you can have your turn." Bellamy said with a smirk fueling the fire in my hatred towards him even more.
"Only in you're dreams, hotshot." I scoff and yell back as I walk away, middle finger in the air. I walk to the drop ship letting Wells and Bellamy finish there conversation. Finally looking through the bag, Sergeant Miller gave me. A few protein bars, bottle of water, a map,a pocket knife and a gun with 2 clips. I silently remind myself to give his son Nate the letter and hat. I look down at my bleeding thigh, it's slowed down but the bandages needed to be changed. Hearing a scream, I get up and put the gun in my waistband and grab my bag. Clarke and the rest of the group had returned. I stand behind Finn as Clarke makes another speech about the wristbands and the ark dying. Bellamy taking his leader role serious again challenges Clarke.

"We're stronger than you think, don't listen to her. She's one of the privileged. If they come down, she'll have it good. How many of you can say the same. That wristband make you a prisoner. The grounders should worry about us!" He yells the last part. Clarke looks at him and shakes her head walking away. As I step from Finn to Bellamy.

"Your nothing but a joke, you act all high and mighty on your thrown. You say these are your people, last time I checked you willingly snuck onto the drop ship to get here while we were sent to die. Do not ever compare us." I say sternly looking at him. His eyes already boring into my head. He was mad, I could tell. I got under his skin. When Bellamy was mad he would put his strong face on and act like he didn't care, make snarky comments even when he knew they would hurt your feelings. It's one of the things I didn't like about him. He turned his emotions off. And I knew him well enough to know that exactly what's happing right now. Bellamy steps closer, only a foot between us now. 

"Careful." He said as he towers over me like he always has his 6'1 frame against my 5'2 self. I look up through my lashes at him and we stay that way for a brief minute. Neither of us saying a word before it's cut short by Octavia grabbing my wrist pulling me away.
"You guys can have your ego contest later." She mumbles, but we both heard her. I sit on a rock as Octavia changes my bandages on my thigh. Bellamy only a few feet away, watching.
Clarke joins in saying there leaving as O finishes.
"Your leaving ? I'm coming too." Octavia states
"No, no way." Bellamy shoots her down and Clarke agrees.
"I'm here for you, I hear you have a gun." Clarke says to Bellamy. He didn't really keep it hush hush everyone knew about it. He lifts his shirt up slightly, more than he needs too might I add. He barks orders at atom and tells Murphy to come. I follow behind Wells and Murphy and Bellamy behind me. I allow distance between me and wells as I listen to Clarke and Wells conversation.

"She's coming too?" Wells asks Clarke looking back quickly at me.
"Are you gonna try to stop her?" Clarke says, I knew in that moment Clarke had heard the rumors and she wasn't gonna take a chance of  telling me what to do. I walk past them as they stop and make sure the two other boys are following.

We continue to walk though the forest before Bellamy starts waving his gun around.
"Put the gun away Bellamy!" Wells yells at him but not before he's pushed by Murphy.
"Why don't you do something about it huh?" Murphy taunts. I step in, we don't have time to waste.
"You wanna see me doing something about it huh?" I question Murphy. He looks me up and down and takes a few steps back, Bellamy noticing. "Now be a good little lap dog and start walking." I say as I wait for them to continue until I hear Bellamy.

"We can walk as soon as she takes that wristband off." Bellamy says grabbing onto Clark's wrist.
"The only way the ark is gonna think i'm dying is if i'm dead. Got it?" Clarke says making me take a step back. Damn, was not expecting her to stand up to Bellamy.

"Brave princess." Was all Bellamy could say before Finn appeared out of the forest. Finn grabs Clarke and tells us to split up. I start walking by myself and leave Wells, Bellamy and Murphy. I could sense Murphy looking at my ass through my jeans but before I could speak Bellamy spoke in a hush towards him. Him noticing the staring ass well.

"You want my sloppy seconds have them." Bellamy stated. I know he did not just call me that. Are you actually joking. I don't turn around as much as a I want too. And proceeded to walk or rather limp through the forest. Cursing profanities in my head. I follow after Finn and Clarke to a clearing. I look towards a giant tree in the center and there's Jasper. Hanging off of it. I look at Clarke as we both run towards him. Suddenly the ground beneath me vanishes. Before I'm skewered like a piece of meat, an arm grabs mine. I let my eyes follow up to the face that saved me. None other than Bellamy Blake staring down at me. A look of hesitation as he holds me over the spikes until he finally pulls me up. Finn helping Clarke up.

"Now you owe me." Bellamy whispers in my ear, causing shivers down my spine. I rip my arm from his grasp and look back at Jasper. 

"Why save his life just to string him up as live bait." Wells asks everyone looking around

"Maybe they want what there trying to catch to still be breathing." Bellamy says as Finn and Murphy cut jasper down. A noise in the bushes catches my attention and I walk away from the group looking for more traps. I stop when I hear a low growl.

Clark noticing yells "Bellamy gun!"
He feels around and nothing, it's gone from his waistband. Four shots ring out and I look over and see Wells shooting. For a minute it's quite and Bellamy strides towards me slowly. Another rustle in the bushes makes both our heads jerk. I pull my own gun from my waistband as Bellamy grabs my waist and flips us around. His back now towards the animal jumping in the air. I shoot over his shoulder and into the panthers head making it drop instantly, The force knocking both me and Bellamy to the ground. Who lands directly on top of me. I sigh as I open my eyes. Bellamy's reaching mine and us both breathing heavily for a few seconds, before I break the silence.

"Um you can get off now." I huff out to him.
"I quiet like this position, sweetheart." He says smoothly smirking down at me. I huff and role him off me but not before I look at him as the other are just staring at us.

"Now we're even, hotshot." I say gaining my composure. Bellamy just nods out of breath.
Murphy and Bellamy grab the panther for camp as Clark and Finn grab Jasper and I lead the way.
