Losing Your Memory

8. That's An Order

I was right. Our wooden meat shed has set on fire and people are running all over camp helpless.

I quickly step up, ordering some people to grab buckets and to fill them, and i help until the fire is completely gone. This takes a long time.

"O, are you okay?" I cry, turning to Octavia who is coughing and spluttering but she nods.

"Yes! But Bell, the food! Its all gone!" She stammers, her voice rough.

Then i turn to Clarke who is staring dismally at the burnt wood and the remaining flickers of fire. She looks up at me with an alarmed expression, her eyes focused on mine. I break away eye contact as Finn slides up next to her and puts a 'comforting' arm around Clarke, who in turn just looks at the floor.

I set everyone back to work, they seem more lost than usual, casting the occaisonal glance at Clarke then looking away quickly as if seeking her advice out of pure habbit. I know she isnt in any fit state to suddenly return to her role as a leader so i try to fill in as best i can.

I am now rooting through the debris, searching in the hope that there might be something edible left. I sense a presence next to me.

"Is there anything?" Comes Clarke's voice and i glare angrily at the mess before me, clenching my fists i rise to look at her. "I take that as a no" she says dissapointedly, probably noting my look of distress. "Well i asked Jasper and we have some wild vegetables, some berries and nuts. Enough to last everyone in this camp about a week..." she says quietly and thoughtfully. I cant help but relax as i stare down at the determined blonde who already appears to be putting herself back together.

"I will have to take out a hunting party tonight!" I say gruffly and Clarke's eyes snap up to mine.

"You can't! It's too dark!" She stammers and she catches my arm as i try to walk away and when i turn back to her she looks flustered and lets me go. Now looking at the floor, Clarke says "you can go tomorrow, we will survive one night"

And with that she is walking away. I have the sudden urge to follow her but someone shoves me and i turn to see Finn with a devilish look in his eyes.

"You better stay away from her! And if you tell her what i did...you know i can manipulate her into believing me. In her current state i could get her to do anything i wanted...so i would back off if i were you!" Finn snarls and i refrain from my growing urge to punch him.

"If you hurt her-"

"What? You will go running? You will tell her everything? She wont believe you, and besides you care too much to tell her the truth!" Finn cackles before shoving his way past me.

He may act innocent around Clarke for god knows what he is planning, but i know the truth. He is nothing but trouble and i dont know what to do about it.

I stare down at the mess on the floor and groan. In my frustration i turn to Murphy and Miller "clean this up!" I growl at them before sweeping away to my tent.

"Bell are you alright?" It is Octavia, she obviously saw me come in and followed me.

"I'm fine O..."

"Is this about Clarke...i see the way you look at her. I know you worry, but everything you are doing for her is in vain if you dont tell her everything. She needs to know about Finn or he will use her and you know it! The Bellamy i know would never stand down, so get up and fight!" Octavia says fiercely, staring straight at me and i clench my fists just thinking about Finn and Clarke...his hand on her back.

"I wont let him hurt her!" I say, feeling more determined. If i have to tell her, i will. For now i just need to keep Finn and Clarke away from one another...which could be easier said than done.
