"Bellamy, the people are ready to go," Octavia said coming into Bellamy's tent. Noelle, Clarke and Bellamy were discussing plans on how to safely get to the pod.
"No one is leaving this camp until morning," Bellamy stated to which Octavia whined at before she left the tent.
"Bellamy, everyone within a hundred miles saw that thing come down, what if the grounders get to it first?" Clarke argued.
"We'll leave in the morning," Bellamy stated in a tone that ended the conversation. He left the tent leaving Noelle and Clarke alone. Noelle placed her hand on Clarke's upper arm.
"We'll go as soon as everyone's up. I doubt the grounders care enough to go after more of us," Noelle spoke. Clarke nodded and the two girls left Bellamy's tent.
"Hey, Octavia," Noelle walked up to her best friend's sister, "Bellamy's just stubborn, you know that more than anyone. You wanna go after the pod with me? Like, right now?"
Octavia snorted and wrapped her arms around the smaller girl, "I see why Bellamy's so obsessed with you, you're a trouble maker," Noelle laughed and squeezed the other girl. "I'll grab my stuff, you make sure Bellamy's busy so we can go."
As Noelle made her way back to Bellamy's tent Clarke stopped her, "Have you seen Bellamy?" She asked frantically.
"I was just about to go see him, why?" Noelle asked as she followed Clarke to his tent. Clarke didn't answer as she pulled back the flap to Bellamy's tent.
"Jesus, is it a free show?" A girl asked as she covered herself with one of Bellamy's blankets.
"Dude, Bell chose a winner," Noelle winked at the girl who looked at her in a disgusting manner.
"Where's Bellamy?" Clarke asked shooting Noelle a sideways look.
"He left a while ago," she replied as Finn joined them in the tent.
"Gears gone," He stated and Noelle instantly left to meet Octavia. Bellamy was going after the pod alone.
*******
"Stupid, selfish, bastard," Octavia muttered as the two girls tried to locate Bellamy or the fallen pod.
"Look, Octavia, he's up there!" Noelle whispered. Octavia looked up from the ground and her eyes narrowed as she spotted Bellamy. She took off running towards him.
"Hey!" She yelled as she pushed her older brother. "Selfish bastard!"
"Octavia, what are you doing?" Bellamy asked. Noelle stayed behind and let Octavia say what she needed to.
"You told everyone we were waiting until morning. But, you just want whatever's in there for yourself." The younger sibling accused.
Bellamy sighed, "I did it for you! Everything I've ever done was for you!" He ran his hand down his face, calming himself. "they'll kill me when they come down, I can't let that happen."
Noelle raised an eyebrow as she made herself known, "Bellamy, what did you do?" Bellamy's head snapped to hers and he looked even more upset that she was here.
"God, not you, too," Bellamy groaned as he turned to walk away. His sister grabbed his arm and forced him to face the two.
"Bellamy, what did you do?" Octavia repeated Noelle's words. Bellamy's face flashed with guilt before he spoke.
"I shot him," he said looking down. When no one said anything he spoke again, louder, "I shot Jaha."
Noelle started to back away as Octavia argued with her brother. She was in shock and couldn't comprehend what the two were saying.
"I didn't ask for any of this!" Octavia yelled as she turned and walked away from her brother. Bellamy looked at Noelle sadly and took a step towards her but she flinched away.
"Noe," Bellamy sadly spoke, "I had to, it was the only way to come down here with Octavia."
"You're a killer," Noelle spoke, her voice shaking. "You killed an innocent man."
"He wasn't innocent, Noelle, he floated your mother," Bellamy argued. Noelle took a daring stepped towards him and shoved him back.
"My mother," Noelle snapped, "tried to kill me. Jaha was the one who finally stopped her. He was innocent."
Bellamy took a step forwards but Noelle turned around and ran back towards camp. Flashbacks of her mother were racing around her head and she couldn't focus on anything.
Octavia ran into her from the side and the two went tumbling down a hill. They smacked against a tree at the bottom and passed out.
********
Bellamy didn't know how he was supposed to feel. He was happy that he had gotten rid of the radio he found in the pod. But, he was utterly upset that he had made his two favorite people hate him.He'd never seen Noelle so heartbroken. Noelle's father had idolized Jaha his whole life so Noelle grew up thinking he was a saint but he wasn't. Jaha locked Octavia up just because she was a second child and floated his mother. He wasn't a saint, he was far from it.
"Bellamy!" Clarke yelled as she caught up with him. "Where's the radio?"
"Taking a walk in the woods, Princess?" He asked, a smirk prominent on his face.
"Where the radio Bellamy?" Finn asked as him and the girl Bellamy saw in the pod ran towards them.
"Bellamy Blake?" The girl asked staring him up and down. "They're looking everywhere for you."
"Shut up," Bellamy hissed as he turned his attention back to Clarke. The blonde was looking at the girl with brown hair.
"Looking for him why?" She asked as Bellamy rolled his eyes.
"He shot Chancellor Jaha."
********
Noelle's vision was fuzzy as she looked around her. A flash in the sky caused her eyes to follow it. A ton of flares were flying over the trees and Noelle couldn't comprehend what they were from.Octavia stirred beside her and Noelle made a move to crawl towards her but stopped when pain engulfed her side. She cried out and placed her hand over the area. Her thin tee shirt was wet indicating that the stitches Clarke had done didn't last long and she was bleeding again. She tried to push past the pain but it was too much and she silently cried as she laid helplessly on the ground.
A shadow over fell the two and Noelle looked up with hooded eyes at the man towering over them. He didn't say anything as he picked Octavia's limp body up and started to walk away.
"Wait," Noelle coughed out, "Help me, please." She cried one last time before her body slumped and her eyes closed once again.
