Losing Your Memory

14. A Princess

Clarke's POV:

"Get off me!" I scream as soon as the hand is away from my mouth. I push against them and stumble away. They have dragged me through a hole in the camp wall and we are now amongst the trees.

I am suddenly shoved up against the wall only to look up and see no other than Finn, glaring down at me.

"I can't let you go Clarke" he snarls as i try to fight out of his grasp.

"You lied to me! What actually happened? Why cant i remember?" I cry hysterically.

"Shut up!" He growls, slapping me right accross the face. Tears well up in my eyes but i dont let them fall. "I heard you and Jasper talking, i should've known he would have noticed something...too smart for his own good." Finn mumbles to himself. "Well you see, i can't let you talk to Bellamy and if you do, well i think you know what i'm capable of".

"What do you mean?" I stammer, staring at Finn's sinister expression, suddenly falling still in his grasp. What's he going to do?

"Well you know all of the 100 committed a crime and lets just say, mine wasnt pretty."

"But- but i thought you were imprisoned for an unauthorised space walk?" I splutter, not aware before hand that i actually knew that!

"Huh i see your memory is coming back....and no that was yet again, a lie! Face it, princess, the king wont be all so mighty for much longer if you dare talk to him." Finn spits, looking at me in disgust.

"There are other people who know what happened!" I plead but i know it's hopless, if i even go near Bellamy...or anyone else for that matter, who knows what Finn will do!

Suddenly my arms are free.

"You're a clever girl, you know you cant do anything. Now kiss me" Finn demands and i stare at him in horror.

"Get away from me you disgusting, Vile-" i am cut of by another series of slaps to my right cheek until i can feel the skin beginning to burn.

Then he walks away and i am left, tears in my eyes and clutching my cheek, without a clue as to what i should do now.

I don't go back inside camp, fighting the urge to run straight to Bellamy and apologise. I dont care if he has been keeping something from me, at least he didn't lie!

I stop dead in my tracks after about 20 minutes of aimless wondering through the trees. I'm sure i am lost but i don't care.

I know how to contact Bellamy without Finn knowing! We have done it before. It makes sense now, i can remember. Bellamy hadn't returned from one of his hunts and no one knew where he had gone!

When i went looking for him, accompanied by some others, i found a trail. A trail he had put there for me - etched into trees or sketched in the ground were little crowns - princess crowns. He knew i would be the one who could follow it because his nickname for me was...Princess...

Shit! Finn lied about that too! I clench my fists! I want to punch him and scream at him but i can't! I need to talk to Bellamy and quick!

Bellamy's POV:

I pace my tent as Jasper sits on the floor, tapping his feet. He just told me about his conversation with Clarke, he told me that she was meant to have come to speak to me...she didn't show.

"What if she didnt believe you Jasper? What if she still thinks I tried to kill her?" I groan after a long silence.

"She did! I saw it in her expression, she wants to belive that you are innocent mate!" Jasper says, his eyes furrowed seriously.

"Then where is she? What if something happened!"

"Bellamy this camp is safe! You made sure of that!" Jasper sighs.

"I'm not talking about whats outside the wall Jasper!"

Jasper falls silent again and stares at his feet.

"I can't just wait around! I am going to find her." I exclaim, feeling like a pent up animal that hasn't seen the outdoors in years!

I dont wait for Jasper's reply and rush outside. I search the camp, going round tents and asking around as delinquents come in and out of camp.

"Hate to break this up, but has anyone seen Clarke?" I ask a group of boys and girls playing a form of football with a ball that looks like a melon or something, i dont know!

"Um no sorry Bel" says one girl with a wink. Her friend gives her a little shove and they burst into a fit of giggles, still twirling their hair and smiling at me when they look up. I dont smile back.

"Okay. Sorry to bother you" i mumble half heartedly, already moving away, hearing the girls burst into a fit of giggling again behind me.

"Caught some attention! Those girls wont stop asking me to get you to notice them!" Octavia growls as she bounds up to me. "You alright Bel? You look...angry"

"I'm fine...Finn told Clarke i pushed her that night by the cliff and now i can't find her!" I groan, anger flowing through my veins.

"He did what? Actually i havent seen Clarke around either...there's Finn-"

"Octavia wait" i say, stopping her as she tries to spring towards him, hatred in her eyes.

"He cant just accuse my brother of something like that and get away with-"

"O! I got this" i say, charging towards Finn and grabbing him by his shirt collar. "Where is Clarke? I pushed her? That's real pathetic Finn! If you hurt her-"

"Bellamy she isnt your concern! Not anymore. She doesnt want to see or talk to you! She is my girlfriend, back off-"

"Your girlfriend huh? All you do is push her around! You made her miserable. If you try anything, it will be the last thing you do!" I threaten him, shoving him as i let his collar go.

I skulk over to my watch-post on the wall and sit down when something catches my eye. Movement outside the wall. I glance through the small gap in the wall and look around when i notice something irregular about an area of soil.

I head outside and walk straight to the tree in front of my watchpost where on the ground, drawn in the dirt is a small image. A princess crown.

AN: So when you thought Finn couldnt get any worse, he turns to full on abuse? And Bellamy has noticed the trail, will he find her set it all right? Find out in the next chapter :)
