Her reason: Bellamy Blake

Chapter 16

After Bellamy informed me what's happened I feel so much worse. "He killed people? Finn? Finn Collins? He wouldn't" I say in shock and Bellamy nods solemn.

"So what do we do?" "Haven't decided that, you were a peace offering, an incentive to give him to them" Abby says from the doorway.

"A peace offering" I say feeling sick.

"They couldn't have done that three fucking weeks ago!" I snap feeling the pain and memories coming back.

Abby gives me a look of pity. I don't want it. I clench my fists. Just a pawn in their game.

"I need to treat you again "she says and I give her a confused look. "How's your he-" I cut her off by clearing my throat and gesturing to Bellamy who looks confused.

"I'm good, obviously" she gives me an unconvinced look. "Bellamy mind leaving us" Abby says and Bellamy makes no movement.

"Just a minute "I assure him and he nods, keeping his eyes on me as he walks out. "Melantha, how are you alive?" She asks and I shrug. "Don't know"

"When's the last serum you took?" "Four weeks ago?" I guess. "Any problems?" "Abby, if I was going to die I think I would already be dead" I scoff and she gives me a look.

"If we get equipment I want to check your heart" "Sure Abby" I say rolling my eyes. "Now is there some food around here?"

"I can walk by myself" I look at Bellamy amused as his eyes haven't left me in minutes.

"Hmm? Oh well just making sure you don't do anything stupid" "Me? Stupid? Never" I smile and he returns the gesture.

"You can use my room for now" He opens the door and I stare at the bed. I haven't slept on a bed in over three years. "Something wrong?" He asks and I nod.

"Yeah it smells' ' He rolls his eyes. "I'll be back in a bit to check on you" "No need, I'm an adult George '' With a huff he walks out and shuts the door. I stare at the bed sitting at the end bouncing on it for a moment. Well until the door opens.

"Finn!" I jump off the bed and run into his arms hugging him. Yes I did think he was annoying most of the time but he was one of the good ones.

"Hey Mel" He chuckles and pulls back. "You look like crap" "Thanks' ' I deadpan and step back.

"What's up?" "I wanted to tell y-" He rubs his neck but I interrupt him. "About the murders?" his mouth drops. "Y-yeah, Belllamy tell you?" "Yep" "So why are you acting normal? '' I sigh.

"We all do things during war Finn, you shouldn't be killed for the one you made. Remember how Jaha and Kane killed three hundred? Mistakes Finn, mistakes'' I pat his shoulder and tears glisten in his eyes.

"You were a good friend Mel" "Was?" I say confused but he just pulls me into a hug. "May we meet again" He whispers and then walks out.

I quickly forget about my confusion when I lie down on the bed shifting uncomfortably. After fifteen minutes of tossing and turning my wounds burned in pain. I groan and move my pillow to the floor. Much more comfy down here. The ground. What I'm used to. I easily drift off.

"Amy get up" I groan and hold a hand over my head. "I swear I am going to murder you"

"Why are you on the floor?" He asks. I decided not to spare him a sappy story of how I can't even sleep on a bed.

"Must have fallen" "With a blanket and pillow?" "Yes George with a blanket and pillow, what do you want?" His face then grows sad.

"What happened?" "Finn gave himself up" "So? We get him back" I say standing with great struggle. His face was blank. "We can't get him back?" "Finn made his choice"

"That's bullshit and you know it, we get him back. He's one of us, one of the hundred" "It's one life or hundreds" He strains out.

"I know you don't mean that, it's the adults drilling it into your head" "I don't know what to do" He admits a tear falls down his face. I hug him tightly. I don't know either.

Poles.

They want us to watch.

I stand next to Raven holding her hand as some form of comfort. Well I try. "They want us to watch" She says in horror, realizing what I had been thinking. I glance at Bellamy and he tilts his head and I nod, grabbing Raven and following him through the crowds as Clarke meets us.

"I'm going down there," Clarke says. "What are you going to do?" I ask, crossing my arms fed up with her hero moves. "More than you would" She snaps and I frown. Gosh I hate her.

"Here, use it" Raven slides a dagger in Clarke's shirt, her lip trembling. "Get her close and kill the commander. There will be confusion and we will get him out" "I like that plan" I mumble. Clarke nods and makes her way out of the gate.

"She didn't kill her, '' Raven whispers as Clarke walks off towards Finn.

She's going to kill Finn.

Mercy kill. Just like I did Atom. I swallow hard at the realization.

"In peace may you leave the shore" I whisper as Clarke pulls away with hands covered in blood.

"No, NO, NO!" Raven screams and screams as she falls to the ground Bellamy pulling her close.

"In love may you find the next. May we meet again"
