Her reason: Bellamy Blake

Chapter 5

"I'm going to get some air" I say standing up and climbing down.

"What are you guys doing?" I ask as I walk over to a group of boys throwing things at trees. "Going on a hunting trip" Murphy says and throws again missing. I snort.

"Are you trying to hit something? Or just scare it away?" He glares at me and I shrug.

"What are you doing here?" I turn and smile widening at George.

"Hey George, how's life?" I hear a few of the boys snicker, only making my smile grow. "My name is Bellamy" He crosses his arms.

Such a drama queen. "Ok George, anyways I need a break so I was thinking I would join you guys"

"No" He immediately says and I roll my eyes. "Well either I go with you guys or I go by myself" "It's too dangerous" I just stare at him waiting for a reply and he groans pointing a knife at me.

"Stay out of my way"

"You are really bad at this?" I whisper leaning closer to him as he turns his face inches from mine and I make a mental note of how cute his freckles are.

"I don't see you getting anything?" I narrow my eyes.

"Here's the difference, you're trying and I'm not"

A snap and he holds out his hand smacking my face as I glare at him. "She's mine" "She?" I whisper to myself.

He crouches forward until another snap is heard and he whips around throwing the knife. My eyes shoot over to a little girl.

"Charlotte?" I say and she looks at me confused. "What are you doing out here?" Bellamy yells. "I could have hit you" I snorted and he glanced at me.

"Not with your aim" "I am thi.." He steps forward but I push him back.

"Are you alright Charlotte? Obviously he didn't hit you but you know these kinds of things can be traumatic. I got stabbed when I was your age-"

"Ok you're done" Bellamy pulls me away and I raise an eyebrow. "You're scaring her, what are you doing out here?" He asks again and calmer this time.

"I couldn't handle the screams anymore" She whimpers and I frown. It's not like Jasper chose to get stabbed.

"Ever killed something?" He asks. "What kind of question is that?" I say and he ignores me handing her a knife. "Can you handle keeping up?" He asks and she nods.

After about another hour of just following Bellamy and him missing another rabbit. "Dude, if you miss one more time I'm going to take your knife and stab it in your heart and we shall eat you for dinner"

Everyone looks at me like I'm insane. "Did you get locked up for cannibalism?" Atom asks and I laugh before making my face blank. "No, nice guess though"

"Hey what's that?" Someone points in the distance and some weird fog is coming closer. "Um from my experience when I see a suspicious fog type thingy we run first and ask questions later"

"When has this happened to you?" Atom asks. "Just run" I grab Charlotte's hand and start pulling her.

"Caves over here!" Bellamy yells and pushes me and Charlotte forward. It starts getting closer and I feel it enter my lungs. It burns. "Guys!" I turn around to see the Atom fall. My eyes widen as he starts screaming. I go to run forward when Bellamy wraps his hand around my wrist pulling me. The fog grazes my arm as he pulls me and it's a burning sensation. Fire on my arm. I cough aggressively as we enter the cave leaning over.

"Hey, you ok?" I heard someone say it but I couldn't tell. "Shit" I stop coughing and look at my arm and wince as I touch it.

"Amy, are you ok?" I look up, narrowing my eyes.

"Wrong name, and no my arm could fall off at any minute" his eyes widened and I rolled my eyes. "I'm kidding, hopefully"

I rip my shirt with the hand that's not falling off and use my teeth and tie it around my arm. I sigh and lean back against the wall opening my eyes to see Charlotte and Bellamy staring at me.

"What?" "You're insane," Bellamy says. "Thanks, Char you ok?" I ask and she nods. "Good, now get comfy we will be here for awhile"

"She fell asleep fast" Bellamy whispers and I glance over at Charlotte. "Lucky her" I say. "You should sleep," He says. "Yeah I probably should" But I make no move to do such.

"Can I ask you something George?" I ask, staring at the ceiling. "Bellamy, shoot" "Well I'm not going to shoot you silly" I say and he looks unamused.

"Why do you act like such a jerk?" "You're not very nice" "No, no that's not..I meant well" I breathe out and start picking at a loose strand on my pants.

"Well I know you're not a bad person, I've seen you around Octavia and Charlotte. My question is why do you act like you don't care about anyone? I mean you're not a bad guy" He stares at me without breaking eye contact.

"You don't know me" "Keep telling yourself that, I mean we might die tonight. Might as well die with one person not thinking you're a complete jerk "

"Someones got to keep the people going, usually being big and scary works" He admits. "Assumed that much, they would follow you if you weren't mean too, you know that right? You're a good leader George. I personally would follow you "

" You're still wearing that bracelet" He nods to my wrist. "Oh right, you can take it off" I hold out my wrist and he looks at me confused. "I only kept it on to annoy you. I don't want the Ark coming down "

"Why?" He asks and I shrug. "We might die tonight might as well tell me" He mocks and I scoff. "Not telling" "Tell me something then" He says, moving to sit in front of me and grabbing my wrist.

"I really wish you didn't grab me from the fog"

He looks up and I swallow hard staring down. "Why?" He asks and I look up smiling. "You already know that answer" "Maybe I do, but don't you have people up there? Parents, friends? What about us all down here?"

I didn't answer and with a sharp pull with a stick he found my bracelet fell off. I smile wide, staring as it turns off.

"I'm dead"

"You scare me Amy" "Someones got to keep you on your toes George"

"Doesn't make you any less frightening" "I take that as a compliment" he gives me a look that I can't decipher.

"You should sleep," I say. "You should to" I don't respond and he shuffles as he lays down his hands behind his hand as a pillow. "Night Amy" "Night George"
