Will of Wood [1]- Bellamy Blake

smother ✔️

I held my bow in a loose grip, watching the remaining warriors killing off the sky children. My heart felt so heavy, as my watery eyes looked around. Blood was all over the ground along with the hep of lifeless bodies. The sticky, thick substance leaking in the mushy dirt. Mangled missing limbs scattered among the bloodshed. Large knots formed again in my stomach, as I quickly looked away. I can't throw up in front of my sister.

"Come." My sisters voice commanded again, making my head snap forward.

Suddenly I watched a familiar head of brown curls, get tackled to the ground by Kyo. My breath faltered as I halted my steps. I hadn't even realized Anya had ran ahead until I saw her in my line of sight. My heart was torn wanting to help him; wanting to go with my sister. Before I could comprehend the situation, my feet sprinted towards Kyo. My heart over powering my brain. Hurriedly I raised my bow, slowing down my frantic run into a fast walk as I neared the pair.

What was I doing. I couldn't do this. No. I've already killed a man, I wouldn't. But I couldn't let Bellamy die. I loved him. My feelings; they were too strong, I couldn't- I couldn't. But I should-I need to let him go. No... never. My thoughts were a jumbled mess as I watched the two men continue to wrestle. It was clear Kyo was winning, the amount of blood on Bellamy's face was atrocious.

My feet sunk deep in the mud, as my lip began to tremble. Kyo has been on of Anya most trusted warriors for years. I didn't know him well but my sister did. I couldn't- I shouldn't let my feelings come before history. But imagine the memory of letting my friend murder my first love. Shaking my head one thought became clear- I needed Bellamy.

"Kyo!"I ordered, lining my arrow with his thudding heart.

I felt so sick, trembling I could barley see as tears flooded my cheeks. Kyo turned confused as he rested his boot on Bellamys chest. His eyes widened as they took in my shaky stance, he slowly put his hands up as if surrendering.

What am I doing. My breathing became labored as I couldn't believe my own actions.

Kyo gazed down at Bellamy with curious eyes before narrowing his eyes at me. My eyes stung as I watched the betrayal and horror in his dark ones. Kyo then lowered his sword to Bellamys throat, making me sob. 

"This isn't you Rhea." He said gruffly, blood gushing from a wound on his cheek.

He's going to kill Bellamy. Shaking my head I took reluctant small steps towards him, glancing down at Bellamy who was starting back at me. Confusion and gratitude wavered in his dark eyes. My fingers tightened around the string of my bow as I looked over his bloody face, briefly I shut my tired eyes.

"I-cant- I don't know what's happening to me." As soon as the quiet words fell off my tongue, I watched my own arrow soar into Kyo's chest.

A sickening sound flew from his chest, no I didn't mean to. No. As soon as the arrow made contact I dropped my bow in disbelief. I felt as if the arrow had struck me, falling over to my knees I watched as Kyo fell. Stinking down into the mushy ground, my heart swelled painfully. He was Anya's friend, a trusted warrior and I killed him for love. Kyo's blonde hair matted with mud, as his thick coat became drenched in his own blood.
