Bellarke AU~ Camp Arkers

Chapter 20

Clarke's POV

The bird's outside my window decide that I need an early morning. At around 6am, I drag myself out of Bellamy's arms and over to the wardrobe. Instead of getting dressed, I just pull one of Bell's hoodies over my head and walk out the door. On my way out, I see my sketchpad sitting boldly on the lounge table. Its been a while since I last drew something. I pick it up and creep out the door and to my spot by the lake. Flicking through the thick pages I see all of my old drawings. Tonal and pencil sketches of people and places litter the crisp pages. One I find a blank space, the pencil in my hand starts to move. Its not until I finish that I realise what I had drawn. The fine details weren't done, but I had unconsciously drawn the lake. On either side of the water was a drawing of me and Bellamy. My parents always told me that my drawings had a deeper psychological meaning. I ponder on what this could mean. Bellamy is definitely a big part of my life now and this is our spot, but of all the thing I could have drawn on the other side of the lake, why him? Wouldn't my parents, the people I want back more than anyone, be a better fit? A flood of memories hit me. My parents with me at camp, dad on the zipwire, mum helping an injured little boy. I slam the book shut and push the memories away. My head needed to be ready for tonight. The second round of the camp games.
As planned the younger kids had been paired with older stronger ones. Octavia and Miller would go first and lift people over the high wall at the end. Me and Bell would go last to pick up any stragglers. All we had to do was not injure ourselves. Lexa and the others were coming over in a couple hours, so I stood up and started to walk back. Trekking under the vast canopy of trees, I feel the light touch of water. Slowly, it gets harder and harder until it becomes torrential. I run back to our cabin and see Bellamy is till asleep. God knows how considering the rain hitting the metal roof is deafening. I unceremoniously throw at pillow at his head to wake him up, then rush to the shower to get ready.
"Princess! Counsellor Jaha has called an emergency meeting at Big house in 20!" Bellamy shouts over the rain.
"Okay, I'll be out in a minute", I call back.
Once we are both ready we sprint through the wind and rain to the rustic house at the centre of camp. The other 3 counsellors are already waiting for us.
"Good Morning", Jaha starts, "It's clear why I called you all here. The second round is today and I'm afraid I will have to postpone it. The rain will make the assault course unsafe and I can't run that risk", my face drops. Not only because I spent hours working out that plan, but the campers will be so dissapointed. (Plus beating the grounders again would make Lexa squirm).
"With all do respect sir, we can't cancel. All the campers have worked too hard for this", Bellamy speaks up.
"Do you really think teenagers will be happy running around in the rain, Counsellor Blake?", Jaha remarks.
"A little bit of rain never stopped anyone. Remember when you caught me and Clarke playing in the river during the storm", Bellamy adds.
There are many other objections, but in the end everyone sees sense and the round goes ahead. After quick goodbyes, we all prepare to run back to our cabins. Stepping out the door we are met by a group of soaking wet children.
"They aren't cancelling are they?"
OMG! I am an awful writer and person. I'm sorry I haven't updated in ages. Starting school again ruined my scheduling. I promise I will update again this week and I will get back into the routine of updating again. I am so sorry. Please go check out my autobiography Hello world. Thanks for sticking with me. Love you chummies!!
