VEHEMENT REPULSION FILLED HER as he grabbed hold of her arm once more and Jinny pulled the knife she stole from her pocket. She pointed it threateningly at his neck, glaring daggers into his eyes, but his grip on her arm didn't falter in the slightest. In fact, Bellamy tightened his hold on her, fingers digging uncomfortably into her skin to leave marks.
"Touch me one more time and I'll skin you," she said menacingly. "Now let go of me."
"You need to gather people," he said through gritted teeth with an edge to his voice. "Weapons."
"Whatever the hell you want," Jinny sneered.
"Ow!"
They turned in sync when they heard Octavia's cry of pain. Whatever animosity that lied between them dissipated instantly underneath their shared protective instinct as they started worriedly towards the girl at the same time. Bellamy crouched down in front of Octavia as she rolled her right pants leg up to reveal the wounds on her thigh; they looked like jagged bite marks.
"You!" Jinny snapped her fingers at Atom. "Get me a clean cloth and some water. Now!"
The boy ran off to do as she ordered and she turned her attention back to Octavia. Bellamy was frowning as he examined the wound. It didn't seem deep and the marks had already scabbed over, but it was still causing Octavia some discomfort.
"What happened?" Bellamy asked.
"There was a lake and I jumped in," she replied simply. "Something grabbed me from under the water."
"That was reckless. I never should have let you go." He shook his head as if he was disappointed with himself.
"What—no!" Octavia protested. "Anything could have happened!"
Atom came back with a piece of cloth and tin of water, passing them over to Jinny. She crouched down next to Bellamy and started to clean the wound. He stopped her, taking the cloth from her hand instead, and she watched as he tended to his sister with gentle care.
