Things you can't ignore

- 19 - Clarke & Bellamy

- Clarke -

Octavia was trying to loosen his grip on her. But he was strong and managed to block any attempt she was trying to get away. I looked at Atom with anger.

- How the fuck did you find me?

- Oh Princess, you really thing I would let my property wander freely in such a big city. You're chipped darling. I tracked you down. But it's the least of our problem.

He turned his look towards Bellamy. I could see Bell was only looking at the knife at O's throat.

- I think I've already told you a couple of times I don't like it when people get into my business when I don't want them to. And I think you even know what I usually do to these people. So, listen to me clearly dude... This time, we're gonna play a little game. I'm gonna ask you a question and you gonna have to answer. Simple. Right?

Bellamy nodded and I felt his hand reaching for mine.

- The only thing is that in both ways you lose someone. Either your sister or your, well MY PRINCESS. See, you just have to answer honestly. I think you guessed the question already.

Bellamy's hand held mine even tighter and he pulled me closer.

- Who do you want to keep? Your dear beloved sister. You've spent your life protecting her, being the big brother she needed to have. And it even brought you on my path. Or Clarke, the one you've apparently been in love with forever.

- If you think I'm gonna answer to that, DUDE. Bellamy answered insisting on the last word. Then you're wrong. I think we're both big enough to solve this problem alone not making the ladies a part of it. You. Me. Outside.

- Oh no no no. You don't make the rules, here.

Bellamy face got serious. He probably thought Atom would want a fight. I could see he was lost and didn't know what to answer.

I turned his face towards mine and looked him in the eyes. But Octavia's screamed stopped me before a could say anything. We looked at her throat and it was bleeding. Atom started to drag the knife and cut a bit of her skin.

- I forgot to mention, he said. I hate waiting.

I could see Bell and O having an eye conversation. It's like they were elaborating a way to get out of this situation, until Octavia slightly nodded. I figured they had a plan. So I turned back to Bellamy and grabbed his head between my hands.

- It's okay, Bell. She's your sister.

- Clarke... I...

- I trust you. I said before kissing him. I specifically used these words to make him understand I figured he had a plan.

- I know. He replied.

He turned to Atom and took a deep breath.

- Give me my sister back.

- Wise decision, Blake. Atom answered.

I stepped closer to Atom still holding Bellamy's hand.

- You let her free and you get me. I told Atom.

He quickly dropped his grab from Octavia throat and pushed her towards Bellamy. He as quickly grabbed me and brought the knife to my throat.

- Now, if this time I ever see you again. You gonna be in trouble, Blake.

Bellamy nodded and Atom started to walk away backwards, making sure Bellamy wasn't following us.

- Bellamy -

As soon as Atom and Clarke were out of the apartment, Octavia turned to me.

- You were thinking about the door on the second floor, right? Then going down through the emergency staircase... She asked.

- That's it! Grab the baseball bat. I have a gun.

- Wow wow wow! You have a gun?

- Not the time, O. I replied.

We rushed to my bedroom were the emergency exit was and ran to the staircase. I've never reached the ground floor of my building as fast.

I checked the elevator and the arrow was still going down so they weren't out yet. Octavia understood my plan and placed herself on the other side of the elevators door. All we had to do is wait for them to get down.

And finally, we heard the elevator coming and Atom's voice was reasoning from the inside.

- I don't like what you've done today, Clarke.

They started walking out of the elevator, I waited a bit and then jumped out of my hiding spot, pointing the gun at Atom. When he spotted me, he straight away grabbed Clarke back to him, placing her in front of him as a living shield and held her neck as if he was going to break it.

- Smart, Blake. The staircase. I really shouldn't have let you go, those couple of years ago. You're a good asset. It's just that if you shoot me now, you're gonna kill her too.

To these words, Octavia jumped from behind and hit his head with the bat. He lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

Clarke ran to me and I held her tight in my arms, my face snuggled in her hair.

- I knew you had a plan. She said.

- I couldn't lose you already. I replied.

- I don't want to brag, but I could use a thank you, guys. Octavia interrupted, keeping a foot on Atom's unconscious body.
