Shameless ~ Bellamy Blake

23~ Torment

"Get the hell out of my way." Clarke growls at Miller who restrains her from entering the floor. 

"Let her through." Bellamy says, still gazing down at the journal. I stand, pretty much unable to move from my spot next to Bellamy.

Clarke looks at the Grounder, examining the many cuts and bruises Bellamy has given him over the last couple of hours. "Well if he didn't hate us before, he does now." She sighs.

"Who cares." Bellamy mumbles.

"How's Finn?" I ask.

"Alive." Clarke answers. Clarke glances back at the Grounder. "His people will care. How long until they figure out where he is? And what happens when they do? I mean, when they come looking for him? And they will, Bellamy."

"Relax, no one saw us take him." Bellamy coos. "How many more of our people need to die until you realize we're fighting a war?" 

"We're not soldiers, Bellamy." Clarke says. "Look at him," Clarke glances at the Grounder. "We can't win."

"You're right." Bellamy says. "We can't, if we don't fight."

"Clarke!" Ravens voice, full of panic, screams from the floor below. "He's seizing!"

Clarke's face shows full panic. She turns and rushes back down the ladder.

I huff in concern and rub my temples from my everlasting headache. 

"You need to sit down." Bellamy says grabbing my shoulders.

"I'm fine." I say brushing his hands off.

Not even a few minutes later, Clarke comes storming back up the ladder with a knife in her hand, the blade pointing upwards.

"What's on this?!" Clarke screams running up to the Grounder and getting in his face.

"What are you talking about?" I ask.

"He poisoned the blade." Clarke growls angrily.

"All this time," I limp over to the Grounder. "You knew Finn was going to die."

"What is it? Is there an antidote?" Clarke asks urgently.

"Clarke, he doesn't understand you." Octavia says. I turn a little, not even noticing that she was up here.

"The vials." I mumble.

"The what?" Clarke asks with a crazed look on her face.

"The vials! I found them out by where we brought him in." I say. "Bellamy, grab them!"

Bellamy grabs the set of vials from the ground and hands them to Clarke.

"Which one?" Clarke asks, desperately. 

"Answer the question!" Bellamy yells.

"Please." I beg.

"Which one?" Clarke asks again. "Our friend is dying down there and you can stop that."

"I'll get him to talk." Bellamy rushes forward.

"Bell, no." I say, grabbing his shoulder.

"He wants Finn to die!" Bellamy yells, taking me aback.

"He saved my life." Octavia said, running up to Bellamy.

"We're talking about Finn's life." Bellamy fires back. "Tatum, leave. You don't have to see this." Bellamy says, reaching for the seat belts.

"I'm not leaving." I say stubbornly. 

Bellamy looks at me with a pleading look, but I cross my arms across my chest and don't move.

Bellamy turns back to the Grounder and raises the seat belts up and whips them across the Grounder's stomach. The Grounder groans out in pain and I can't help but flinch at the sound of the seat belts hitting his skin. 

"Bellamy, stop!" Octavia pleads.

Bellamy ignores her and continues whipping the Grounder.

"Please, just tell us!" I beg. "If you tell us, he'll stop."

The Grounder stays silent. Bellamy raises the seat belts again and whips them, harder this time. Making it sound something close to a gunshot.

"Clarke!" Raven yells from downstairs. "He's getting worse. We're running out of time."

"Which one?" Clarke scrambles. "Which one is it? If you tell us, we'll stop."

Bellamy drops the seat belts and walks over, grabbing two nails. 

"What're you doing?" I ask.

Bellamy ignores my questions and walks back over to the Grounder. 

"Tatum, don't look." Bellamy warns. 

I really wish I wasn't that stubborn, because the next thing he did scarred me. 

Bellamy drives the nails into the Grounders hands, slowly, torturing him. 

The Grounder screams out in pain, but doesn't give us the antidote. 

"What's taking so long?" Raven asks, rushing up the ladder.

"He won't tell us anything." I say, watching as Bellamy backs away from the Grounder, the two nails sticking out of each end of the Grounders hands.

"Wanna bet?" Raven says. Raven walks over to the control panel on the drop ship and rips out two wires. Sparks fly everywhere, narrowly missing me. Bellamy shields me from the sparks. 

"What're you doing?" Clarke asks.

"Showing him something new." Raven smirks.

Raven presses the broken ends of the wires into the Grounders stomach, electrocuting him. 

"Which one is it?" Raven yells like a crazy person. "Come on!" She presses the wires again, electrocuting him.

"He's all I have!" Raven yells pressing the wires to his skin again.

Raven screams loudly, seeing as the Grounder won't budge. 

"He won't let me die." Octavia jumps forward with the knife that the Grounder stabbed Finn with and slices her wrists open. "Now, which one is it?"

The Grounder eyes the cuts on Octavia's arms and finally nods his head to the vial all the way to the left. Clarke grabs it and rushes down the ladder, saving Finn.

"Bellamy, I need to lay down." I say, as I sit in my spot against the wall.

"I can't get you to the tent. It's still raining pretty hard." Bellamy says, crouching down next to me.

"Can you bring me upstairs?" I ask, my legs incapable of working anymore.

Bellamy nods and picks me up, climbing up the ladder. 

Once we enter the third floor, Bellamy grabs an empty sleeping bag and rolls it out in a corner that not many people are by. He places me down in the sleeping bag and pulls the cover on top of me.

"Get some rest." Bellamy whispers, kissing my forehead. 

"Don't leave me." I grab his wrist as he gets up to leave.

Bellamy looks at me, his eyes softening. Bellamy gives in and nods, slipping into the sleeping bag with me and wrapping his arms around me.

I lean my head against his chest and fall asleep to the sound of his heart beat.
