Baby - Bellamy Blake

TWENTY - EIGHT

•••

It's been two days since the virus spread, and the bridge was blown. Each day, Freya sat outside of the walls with her bow in her hand and her thoughts on steady mode. Her leg was scabbed over, and her ankle was now just a sore spot. The bruising on her face had turned to a soft yellow color, and her hair was always up in a bun.

Bellamy was constantly trying to get Freya to leave watch, but every time, she refused. She had to get her head straight. With Clarke's confession roaming every wall in her mind along with the dream, Freya felt overwhelmed.

She felt as if her mind was going to explode with the feeling circling her mind and body. She felt unhinged. She had never felt unhinged before.

" First watch is over. Go relieve Monroe on the south wall. Keep your eyes open. " Bellamy's voice spoke through the forest as his footsteps neared closer." Anything? " He asked once he stood beside Freya

" It's been two days. Maybe the bomb at the bridge scared them off for good. " Freya shrugged.

" You believe that? " Bellamy asked, slightly shocked at how give up her voice sounded.

" No. They're coming. " Clarke suddenly said, coming from behind the duo. Freya instantly looked away from Clarke, which Bellamy didn't miss.

"Jasper thinks he can cook up some more gunpowder if he gets some sulfur, and Raven says she can turn that into landmines. So be careful where you step. " Bellamy joked half-heartedly

" Ha! Funny. " Clarke dryly laughed

" What I really need is a thousand more of her tin can bombs. I can roll into their village and blow those Grounders to hell. That's what they want to do to us. " Bellamy rubbed a hand down Freyas back, making shivers run through her body

" Can't believe we survived a hundred years just so we could slaughter each other. There has to be another way. Any word from the Ark? " Freya turned slightly to look at the two of them clearer

" Radio silence. Finally ran out of air. " Bellamy said. Freya scoffed before turning to look back at the forest in front of her.

" Maybe my mom was lucky being on the Exodus ship. At least it was quick. No one is coming down to save us. " Clarke kicked the ground.

Turning, Freya shook her head before walking away. Bellamy watched her go with sadness while Clarke stared at her in guilt. " What did you do? " Bellamy gritted out to Clarke, who spun to look at him

" What makes you think I did something? " Clarke questioned

" She couldn't even look you in the eyes, Clarke. So, what did you do? " Bellamy hissed.

" I didn't do anything," Clarke said before leaving back to camp. Bellamy threw a stick into the forest before turning and heading back into camp.

" You get that from your boyfriend, Grounder pounder? " Freya heard Del say as she neared the smoke hut.

" Watch it, Del, don't think Bellamy would take it so kindly to you blabbering his sister like that," Freya said when she entered the hut.

" She's right. A hot fire is not gonna preserve the meat as well. " Murphy cut in after a second of Del glaring at Freya.

" You can't take the heat. Get out of the smokehouse. Should be kissing our asses for being allowed back in this camp. Just keep working. " Del snapped at Murphy, who gritted his teeth before walking to Octavia and Freya

" Your brother couldn't get you a better job? Would think anything would be better than working in the meat furnace. " Murphy asked Octavia, who chuckled in reply

" Oh, probably. That just means someone else would have to do it. " Octavia answered

" and we don't want someone to fuck this all up " Freya bumped her hip into octavias causing the two to chuckle lightly

" how are you feeling " Octavia asked Freya who sighed and helped Octavia hang up some meat

" I'm good, tavia " Freya smiled. Octavia opened her mouth to say something but closed it and turned back to hanging the meat.

" I'm just saying, if you weren't okay, you would tell me, right? " Octavia asked after a pregnant silence. Freya chuckled as she turned her body to face Octavia

" Of course I'd tell you if so - " Freya cut herself off as she grabbed Octavia and pulled her away from a wall that was now covered in flames

" Holy fuck " Octavia yelled as she looked at the flames.

" we got to get out of here." Freya pushed Octavia forward, in the direction of the door.

" What about the food? " Octavia then asked. The smoke in the room clouding their vision and airways.

" We'll figure it out." Freya shoved her out the door before exiting herself. She coughed as soon as the clean air pushed the smoked away.

Bellamy was quick to grab her into a hug. " Are you okay? " He asked while rubbing his hand down her back. Freya nodded as she held onto his shirt, trying to Gan her breah again.

" This is all your fault! We told you it was too much wood! " Murphy yelled at Del while shoving and throwing punches at him.

" Get the hell away from me. " Del yelled while shoving Murphy off. Bellamy released Freya and jumped to pull Murphy off

" Hey! Hey! Hey, stop! Save it for the Grounders. " Bellamy shouted while holding the two a ways from one another

" Well, now what the hell are we gonna do? That was all the food. " Octavia stressed. Freya turned to the burning hut that was having bucket after bucket of water poured onto.

Her mind was added with another problem that she had to figure out.

When the fire was out completely, she walked over to the remains and began to look for any salvageable meat. She could briefly hear Bellamy and Clarke discussing on what to do and felt relieved it wasn't all on her.

" Yeah. We have some wild onions and nuts in the dropship. It's only enough to last us, maybe one or two weeks. " Clarke said to Bellamy just as Freya walked up to them

" What's left here? " Bellamy asked

" Nothing. It all burned. " Freya mumbled, her head spinning and her gut tightening. Bellamy grabbed her by the back of the thighs and pulled her onto his lap.

" Then we have to hunt. Anyone we can spare goes out. " Clarke cleared her throat and looked away.

" With the whole Grounder army out there?" Bellamh questioned with uncertainty.

" Look. We can't defend ourselves if we're starving. " Clarke said before leaving to grab some hunting gear. Bellamy turned to Freya and held her closer to his chest

" Your not going hunting are you? " Bellamy asked with a small smirk

" No I'm thinking of staying and doing something else " Freya shrugged her shoulders while placing her arms around bellamys neck.

" Like what? " Bellamy questioned, his eyes glancing at her lips.

" You'll have to find out " With that Freya gave him a small kiss before standing and waking away.
