Hit Me //Bellarke//

Chapter 14

Clarke froze, stepping away from the unknown girl who knew who she was.

"How do you...," she began.
"We need to talk," the girl immediately said.
"I don't even know you," Clarke gasped.
The girl extended her hand. "Im Raven Reyes, Finn's girlfriend and an excellent mechanic on the ark, or was an excellent mechanic on the ark."
"And you already seem to know who I am." When Clarke shook her hand she noticed the same circle tattoo on Raven's wrist that she had on her own hip.
"Spill, now."

"Not with him here," Raven whispered, nodding back at Finn.
"What's going on?" spacewalker asked, his brows drawn in confusion.
She turned back to her boyfriend with a pretty smile. "I just have some stuff about Clarke's parents that she might want to known."
Her jaw stiffened. Liar, she thought.

"Later," she whispered in Clarke's ear.

"Alright," he shrugged. "But I'd like to know why you're here, and why you were banging up your pod."

The girl sighed. "The oxygen supply is depleting, and the ark doesn't know that earth is survivable, so they're slowly killing off the population. Three hundred innocent lives are going to be taken tonight, and that's just the start. I snuck into the control room and found everybody confused about the vital signs. You all died too quickly. I learned about the bracelets and suspected that you rebellious teens might be taking them off, so I got some help and came down. Now I was enraged, and still am because some bastard stole my radio."

Clarke's mouth widened in shock. They would just start killing off the human population like that? How did no one find that sick? I see humans but no humanity.

"Are you sure it didn't come loose in the landing?"
She glared at Finn before grabbing the undamaged wires that must have been attached to the radio. "No way in hell," she snapped.
"Who would have stolen a radio?" Clarke ran a hand through her tangled hair. "We got here first anyway."
Reyes shrugged, "I was knocked out for a bit, anyone could have snatched it."

She but her lip. Who wouldn't want contact with the ark? Who wanted nothing to do with them?

Raven looked her in the eye. "Who wanted the bracelets off?"

Bellamy.

And Clarke ran.

Bellamy trudged through the woods with a scowl on his face. Him and Octavia had just fought, again, like they always seemed to do. Would his little sister ever not be mad at him?
Why do I screw everything up?

He heard quick footsteps behind him, Clarke's voice calling out his name and groaned. Just what he needed, more arguing.
When she came up beside him he smirked, his hands in his pockets as if he hadn't just destroyed the only form of communication they had with the ark. "Morning princess, didn't think of you as the running through the woods type."
She pushed his shoulder. "Where is it?"

He held his hands up in surrender. "Where is what?"
The princess stepped close enough that their faces were mere inches apart. "You know damn well what I'm talking about," she spat. "They're getting ready to kill three hundred innocent people up there to save oxygen. And I can guarantee they won't be the privileged, they'll be the working class, your people!" She jabbed her finger into his chest for emphasis.

My people, the people he wouldn't be able to save if he saved himself.

Finn and the dark haired, pod girl came through the trees, Finn pushing him. "Where is it Bellamy," he said.
"I don't know what you're talking about," he pushed back.
The girl, her bronze skin flushed red with what he assumed to be anger narrowed her eyes. "If its not the infamous Bellamy Blake, they've been looking everywhere for you."
"What?" he heard Clarke say.
"Shut up."
The girl smirked. "He shot chancellor Jaha."
