Rebuilt ➳ Bellamy Blake [2] ON HOLD

ten

I jump slightly when the cart comes to a sudden stop. I grimace when one of the reapers reaches in and pulls out a body.

Suddenly screams of pain fill the air and I hear tearing of flesh. I sit up quickly and notice the Reapers are huddled together around the body. I grab Clarke and gesture to edge of the cart before pulling myself over it. I get half way before I notice Clarke stopping and talking to Anya.

"What are doing? Let's go!" I ignore her hushed voice and finish pulling myself from out of the cart.

If she wants to stay and get herself killed that's fine, but I'm getting the hell out of this place. I silently fall to the ground before crawling in the opposite direction of the feasting Reapers.

I stop when I hear something behind me and I turn to see both Clarke and Anya following me.

We continue away from the evil lurking behind us.

After roughly 15 minutes of running we stop as Anya starts coughing loudly. Clarke tugs on a jacket before walking over to help her. "This place is impossible, how are we supposed to find our way out?" I look down the empty cave while asking.

"What are they doing to us?" Anya asks as she tries to come her coughing down.

"They use your blood. I saw a solider come in with radiation burns and hours later he was fine. It's like your blood is healing them somehow. I've never seen anything like it.."

I debate about informing them of the news Dr. Tsing explained, and demonstrated, to me not so nicely, but Clarke turns and cuts me off.

"Come on, let's go this way," I follow her steps, but I stop when I see Anya going to opposite way.

"Hey, what are you doing?! That's the way back to the Reapers!"

"You go your way, I'll go mine." Again she turns, but my hand catches her arm.

"Going that way is incredibly stupid. Clarke saved your life for a reason." I try to push down my resentment for her and try to convince her to come with us for Clarke's sake.

"You saved my life because you need me. I know the way back to your people. I know where the traps are hidden. You'd never make it alone." Instead of feeing guilt for the truth of her words I stare at her blankly before turning and walking in the direction Clarke said to.

"We don't have time for this. Our best chance of getting out here alive is together. All we can do is hope-" I don't walk any farther when Clarke's voice stops mid-sentence. I turn to see her facing the opposite direction and Anya no where is sight.

"Anya," Clarke's voice whispers around the stone walls, but there's no answer. She takes a step away, but I pull her towards me when I see the familiar light from the Reapers torches.

"We need to go. Now," We both turn and find ourselves running, but now we are down to 2 survivors.
