Good Heart ➵Bellamy Blake ➵

Taken

It's been a week since the last incident with Bellamy. After lessons with Lincoln we would do the usual and inspect the camp. I'd say Lincoln has become quite smitten with the girl with the pretty eyes just because that's where most of his attention would go. Bellamy has been in and out the camp, not that it matters. One afternoon, I seen him walk out his little hut thing with a woman, again, not that it mattered. 

Today Lincoln let me relax for the day, he came to my hut telling me that lessons were canceled and quickly left. I was bummed out. There's honestly nothing I do fun besides lessons and then going stalker mode with Lincoln. All I did today was help some elders, cook for papa, and then walked around my village. As crazy and exciting my life is, I need to do something adventurous. 

I grabbed my essentials which included: my bow, some herbs and oils(just in case, you'll never know), and my handy hair band to keep my long hair out of the way. I followed the trail to Lincoln's cave, den, whatever it is and picked up a small rock so I can throw at his head for canceling practice. I closed the barrier behind me taking slow, quiet steps so he does not hear me. 

I pulled the rock back about to throw when I turned the corner and saw Lincoln kneeling. I threw the rock at his head and I saw him stiffen. "Regtig? Ek het gedink ek het jou vandag is gekanselleer.- Really? I thought I told you today is cancelled" he whispered. He slightly turned his head, "Wat doen jy?-What are you doing?" ignoring his statement and walking towards him. 

Looking over his broad shoulder, my breathing faltered and I backed up bumping into a wooden chair. In front of him was an unconscious woman, I've seen her before I just couldn't remember right now. Lincoln had his kit out and was in the process of wrapping her leg with cloth, that I assumed had an oil on it. Then it hit me. The girl who he was helping was the girl with the pretty eyes. 

"W-w-what is she doing here?" I spat in a whisper. Lincoln stood up setting his kit on the table and stalked to me gently tugging my arm so we're both out of earshot even though the girl is completely out of it. "I was following her and before you yell at me, you have done the same thing so don't throw crap at me" he said as I opened my mouth to speak. 

"-Anyways she went out in the woods by herself, so I followed her and yes I was being careful. She- she fell down a hill and hurt her leg and I couldn't just leave her there" he says exasperated. He did the same thing I did to Bellamy, but he was conscious when I-

"-Did you knock her out?" I exclaimed, "I swear to my grave if you did I will-" he cut me shortly "No I didn't. I found her that way so will you quit it. And you seriously didn't have to throw that stupid rock at me" I shrugged and said, "That was for cancelling lessons and keeping this from me."

He rolled his eyes and started walking back, "Go get her some water, she will be up soon and when you enter do not say a word" 

I mimicked him in a higher voice and headed to the waterfall with my water container. Stupid Lincoln and his stupid orders. How about if I shove my bow up your arse.

Once I got back I heard talking, not from Lincoln but the girl. I walked in on them and she was on the floor, one of her hands were tied to something while Lincoln's back was to her. I found his eyes and gave a quick nod to the rope tied to her hand giving him a look. He took the water from my hands and handed it to her. 

She looked from Lincoln to me. "You helped me but you have me tied up, why?" she exclaims. I look at her and I notice her teary eyes. Her long brown hair in her face while she holds the water in her free hand. This wasn't fair and Lincoln knew it. "Please let me go. Please" I heard her beg. 

Lincoln turned to her and pushed the water to her face so she can drink. She drank a little and I could see the tears streaming down her face. 

I faced him and he nodded to the kit and I knew what he needed me to do. He stood up and left the den. The girl still sat in the same position I found her, she looked exhausted and I wish I could just let her go but Lincoln would go nuts. I know he would not do her harm but tying her up was weird since he cleaned her leg. 

I took the kit and knelt in front of her. Her legs were already spread out so that helped. While unwrapping the cloth on her leg she told me her name "My name is Octavia. I don't know what you or the other guy wants from me but I don't have anything" I ignored her as I rubbed oil on her.

"Let me go, I promise I won't tell anyone" I was wrapping a new cloth on her. "It doesn't help that you don't speak English, I feel like I'm talking to myself great" she sarcastically chuckled.  I glanced at her and chuckled too. 

"You do understand me" I shrugged grabbing the kit and standing up. The least I can do was let her know that I understand her. I placed the kit back on the table and grabbed my belongings.

I began walking out as I heard her again "Please untie me, let me go. please" I paused closing my eyes. If I do untie her, Lincoln would kill me. If I don't, guilt will torture me. I gave a long sigh and painfully continued walking out with throaty screams echoing the walls.

"Please-" I heard her choke she is crying "Let me go! My brother is going to find me and kill you!" 

Guilt poured on me when I walked back home.
