Her reason: Bellamy Blake

Chapter 12

"Melantha!"

I jog to the gate to see Octavia and someone else holding a boy.

"Murph?" I whisper. "Lana' ' He whispers and I run to replace the other boy taking his other side.

"Let's get him to the ship" we set him down and I usher Myles forward. "Get me some water and rags" He runs off and I bend down in front of him.

"What happened to you?" I whisper. "The grounders" "They tortured you" he nods but winces in pain. I grab some rags and dip them in the water starting on his face as he winces in more pain.

"Sorry" I clean the blood and scrape as best I can until I'm interrupted.

"What the hell is he doing here?" Bellamy storms in with Clarke close behind. "The grounders had him" I say.

"Amy get away from him" "He needs help" "He's a murderer" He growls out. "He didn't kill Charlotte. I know you don't want to believe it but he didn't kill her. No one did" he raises his gun at Murphy.

I jumped up standing in front of the gun. "You don't touch him" I raise my chin up. He lowers the gun but grabs my arm pushing me back. "

What are you doing? We knew what would happen when he came back ""He didn't even do anything he was mad. When I remember you were mad you hung him!" "She's not wrong" Murphy coughs out as Bellamy sends him a glare.

"We can't kick him out now. Once he's better he leaves" Clarke says and I frown but that's better than killing him. "Fine, get out for I can patch him up"

I don't look at them as I bend back down working on his hands next. "I'm glad your back Murph" "Thank you Lana"

I glance over to see Bellamy clenching jaw and fists before glaring at Murphy and walking out.

"Melantha get away from him" I sigh from sitting next to Murphy. "We already went over this Clarke '' But the fear in Bellamy's eyes made me hesitate.

"What's going on?" I ask. "Move away Amy" Bellamy says and I do standing up. "Kids are dropping like flies, we don't know what's happening" I pause for a moment.

"Symptoms?" "Nosebleeds, falling, coughing up blood, and overall looking like shit" Bellamy explains and I roll my eyes. "Murphy, did they do anything to you at the camp?" I ask and he shakes his head slowly.

"Besides getting tortured?" He asks.

"Biological warfare, that's the best guess I have. For now we quarantine. Get Octavia and Myles they were with me when we found Murphy, anyone else has symptoms bring them in.-oh and guys. Don't die"

Clarke nods and runs out quickly and I reach behind pulling my hair into a ponytail. "Get out of here" I say as Bellamy is still standing there.

"Be careful" I let my lips raise slightly into a mocking smile. "I'll be so careful. '' He smiles before turning and leaving.

"Be careful," Murphy mocks. "Shut up"

"How many is that now?" Bellamy asks from outside. "Twenty five" I responded.

"If the grounders at-" He starts. "Raven's bomb will work" I say from the floor. The only thing separating us is the tarp.

"Are you doing ok?" I nod and then remember he can't see me. "As good as it can get I suppose. I think I'm immune, no other way I wouldn't have caught it by now "

"Are you tired?" I stay quiet feeling my eyes droop just at the comment. "Yeah" he stays quiet for a minute. "I can help" "No" "Amy-"

"No reason anyone else should get sick, plus Murphy's helping out" "I don't trust him" He complains.

"I do, and you trust me right?" without hesitation he replies. "Of course I do"

I let a small smile grow on my face. "Then trust me when I say Murphy's on our side" "Whatever you say" "Then go help save our people, and don't get sick" there's a shuffle and I know he's gone.

"Are you done talking with your boyfriend?" I look up at Murphy and scoff standing up but wobbling slightly. "Woah you ok?" I nod. "Let's get to work"

"Place him over there" I look at Octavia as I see Bellamy being carried in. I quickly rush over bending down. His face covered in blood and his figure shaking.

"I thought I told you not to get sick" I grab a rag and start wiping his mouth off. It didn't do much as he then turned to his side puking blood. I help lower him and make him lay down.

"Rest George, You deserve it" He looks at me with wide and scared eyes.

"I'm s..scared"

I give him a tight lipped smile. "You'll be ok, I'll protect you"

His eyes slowly flutter shut and I sigh leaning back on my hands. "You should get some sleep," Octavia says. "I'll be fine" I stay by Bellamy's side for most of the night until more kids are brought in.

"Hey" My head shoots up fast. "I'm not asleep"

I rub my eyes at Murphy and he rolls his eyes. "Please sleep, you're worrying people" "No I'm not" "Yeah you are" Fox says from across the ship.

"I swear if you say you're fine one more time I'll knock you unconscious and make you sleep" "I would beat you in a fight any day"

"She would" My head snaps to Bellamy who's sitting up.

"Hold your horses, how are you feeling?" I ask laying a hand on his shoulder and pushing him back down. "Better, did we get the bridge?" I nod and he sighs in relief.

"How is everyone?" He asks. "Mostly better, just you, Clarke and a few others" he nods. "We have to prepare for them to come" "Um yeah we will but you can't be getting u-" "Where's Octaivia?" He interrupts.

"Ok first rude, second I don't know but I'll find her" I stand up. "Be right back, don't kill each other" I tell Murphy and Bellamy.

I ran outside easily finding Octavia and bringing her inside. "I'll be ove-" I point with my fingers drifting back slowly as I go to check on Clarke. "How are you feeling?" Octavia asks. "Better, you?"

"Immune, you got a lot of special attention though"

"Huh?" He says confused. I dab a cloth to Clarkes forehead. "Cassie, she barely left your side" I gasp and turn around.

"I did not" "Um yeah you did, why are you eavesdropping?" Octavia asks. "First off he's a patient that's what happens when you're a doctor, second because what else am I supposed to do? Talk to Clarke who's obviously unconscious and even now I wouldn't want to talk to her, I would rather talk to a dead kid "

"Little dark Lana" I roll my eyes at Murphy's comment. Both of the Blakes give me an annoyed look so I hold my hands up.

"Fine, I'll take a walk or something.." I take a step and it's like my legs give out on me and I go falling to the floor.

"Ouch" I mumble and hold up a hand gesturing for Murphy to not fuss over me. "I'm good, just tripped" I lied and stood back up. Then my vision goes black.
