Chapter 7: Her

"But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world." - Little Prince

Chapter 7:
Her

CLARKE POV:

It was getting late. It was almost sundown and we needed to get the gates shut, have dinner and go to sleep. Also some of us had guard duty, but fortunately I did not. I guess being abducted is kind of having it's privileges right now hah. I though of Bellamy for a second, I never properly thanked him for even considering on taking the risk to save me. He knew what was in stake, he knew Murphy got me only to lure him but he did it anyway. He went in, risked his life and almost got killed - all that just to save me..

I walked to his tent, greeting everyone I saw on my way to him. I whisper - yelled his name, to let him now I was there,waiting. He exited the tent shirtless.I tried taking my look off of him, but my eyes just couldn't resist and wondered from his eyes to his torso and chest and then to his abs. My jaw almost dropped but I found my body turning around in embarrassment. A light pink appeared on my cheeks, which was odd because I'm not a person to blush on the sight like this. He was well built, I have to give him that..

''Like what you see? Huh princess?'' he said, slightly smirking, as cocky as usual.

''Are you decent? Can I turn around now?''I said awkwardly.

''Ye, what's up?'' He asked while putting on his shirt.

''Umm, yeah, well I wanted to thank you.'' I said quietly, not really pleased with what I'm saying.. Honestly speaking, I was a bit nervous.

''For what?'' He turned his head to me, he met my eyes.

''For not giving up on me, for searching and finding me and finally for saving my ass.'' I slightly laughed at the thought of it, who would've thought that Bellamy Blake over here would actually give a damn for someone's life.

''Ye well you are our only medic, I couldn't let you just leave us now could I?'' I stand corrected, just as I thought he did care, I was shown otherwise..

''Of course..'' I said with slight disappointment.

''If that's all, I'd like to go to sleep now, it was a rough day princess.'' He said, a yawn followed his sentence.

''Yeah... Good night.'' I said finding myself looking to the ground.. I quickly moved away and just as I made my second step he wrapped his arm around mine and pulled me back.

''Good night princess.'' He kissed me on the forehead. I froze,  what was that about? One minute he is all cocky and the next he does this.. I don't even know what this was! He probably teased me and I totally fell for it.

Great job Blake.
Bellamy 1 - Clarke 0

I went to my tent and undressed my dirty clothes. I laid on my bed,quickly falling asleep.

BELLAMY POV:

''Ye well you are our only medic, I couldn't let you just leave us now could I?'' Something eating up inside of me while I was saying it.. I felt sick to my stomach when I looked at her, not because I didn't like her, but because I just told her something that wasn't true and it hurt her. I could feel her eyes dropping from mine to the ground, breaking our gaze. I had this odd feeling I have never had before, I just lied to her big time. It wasn't something I'd say for my entertainment .. it was to cover up something else that has been hiding in that moment.

When we finished our conversation I went back inside. I laid on my bed looking up to the ceiling - thinking. I thought about that sudden kiss I gave her, I don't even know what it was.. I don't do it like that, my kisses are on the lips. Passionate and emotionless.

I guess I was so glad she ended up alive and not dead that I needed to show it to her but when I tried - I ended up speechless, putting on my defense and having my cocky usual self with me. So my body and heart made the decision for me.  It was like my body pulled itself against my will, like it was controlled by someone that wasn't me. I must have creeped her out. Things are going to be so awkward..

OCTAVIA POV:

I couldn't sleep, it was still early for many people and I thought Bell would be one of them. I decided to crash at his tent since he did have a bigger one 'cause he is the 'leader' and all, but I also had to talk to him.. I walked out of my tent and went into the next one.  Bellamy had his people put my tent next to his so he could ''watch over me 24/7'' I peaked my head through his tent to see if he was sleeping. He was looking up to the ceiling of the tent, I guess he was thinking.. but about what? What could possibly be more important to him than sleep? I giggled at myself, making him shift - noticing me.

'' O, is everything ok? What are you doing here? You are supposed to be asleep.'' I couldn't make it out if he was angry or worried or nervous.

'' Relax, I'm fine. I'm not a BABY!!!'' I yelled half way through the sentence, but I remembered people were sleeping so I sat beside him on his bed, looking to his eyes. I had some questions.

'' What is it, O?'' He asked nervously..

'' I wanted to ask you if something happened.. You didn't seem yourself when you got back.'' I asked, looking straight into his eyes, waiting for his answer. He glanced over to the 'door' of his tent and then his eyes were back on me.

'' I don't know O, I keep replaying the scene in my head. Murphy was prepared to kill her and I felt so helpless, I couldn't move because those guys surrounded me. He cut her, if she didn't react on time he would've dragged the knife across her neck.'' He stopped.. taking a breath while I carefully listened.

'' I was so helpless O, if she didn't elbowed him, she could have died and it would be my fault and there was nothing I could've done to prevent that!'' His sight crashed to the ground, not wanted to meet my eyes out of guilt. He was really hurting and I couldn't look at my big brother like that.

'' Bell, what happened wasn't your fault and plus you came to save her, but Murphy had other plans!'' I tried to cheer him up but I don't think it was working.. I took his hand into mine, trying to comfort him as he used to comfort me.

''But O, it was my fault. Murphy wanted me and the only reason he took her is so he could get to me, knowing I'd come looking for her.''

''Bell.. Do you like her?'' I kinda hope he'd say yes, Clarke was a great girl and she is my best friend! But in the same time.. I'm not too eager to see my brother with my best friend.. ugh

''What?'' he slightly blushed, becoming nervous. '' O, you're out of your mind.. you really should get some rest, I think you're suffering of exhaustion.. Sis you're delusional. Me and Clarke? Never gonna happen!!'' He laughed and tapped me on the shoulder. Wow very funny bro..

''Fine, we'll talk tomorrow and I'll get the truth!!!'' I teased him

''You already know the truth, O.'' He looked at me as if I was desperate, it made me angry.

''You're version of 'truth'. '' I fired back at him. I didn't give him any time to respond, so I took off and crashed on to my bed within seconds. I jumped under the sheets we had from the Ark and covered myself. I drifted to sleep withing minutes.
