Survival ✘ Bellamy Blake

15. Torture

15 | TORTURE

"Open up this damn door right now or I swear I —"

"You'll what, princess?"

Raina climbed up the hatch, ignoring Bellamy's question and he quickly realized she was serious. She strutted past him, an unreadable expression on her face and Bellamy was unsure if he liked or not. She headed straight for the grounder, something in her hand that glistened and she held it up, showing the knife that was stuck in Finn's chest.

"What was on this?" She asked, her tone betraying the one she used when she confronted Bellamy about torturing the grounder.

"What are you talking about?" Bellamy asked. Octavia and Clarke were now up.

"He poisoned the blade. Finn's poisoned." Even saying it out loud panged her heart a little. She thought they were out of the woods when the knife was out, but now they were in it even deeper.

"He knew Finn was gonna die no matter what we did." She turned back to the grounder, brows scrunched in a frown. Bellamy stood beside her, unsure where to step next. He's never seen this much hatred from her.

"Is there an antinode? Something?" She asked, desperate for any answer. She wasn't even sure if he understood her. "Clarke, what about what you used on me when I was bit by that snake? Could that work?"

"Even if it could, we used it all on you." She responded.

"Vials." Bellamy spoke suddenly. Raina turned to him with a raised brow as he walked to the other end of the drop ship and picked up a metal container. Clarke joined him and took it.

"You'd have to be stupid to have a poison around this long without an antinode." She answered, inspecting each bottle for some sort of label or word. Raina walked towards them, dropping the knife onto the ground.

"Which one is it?" Clarke asked the grounder.
"Answer!" Bellamy added to it. The grounder remained silent. Raina took the run of antinodes from Clarke and stepped back in front of the grounder. "Please, tell us. He's dying." She begged, tears welling up in her eyes and the grounder's were unfazed.

"I'll get him to talk." Bellamy moved past Clarke and towards him, almost
immediately being grabbed by Octavia who cried out in the grounder's defense, "Bellamy, no!"

"He wants Finn to die! Why can't you see that?" Bellamy shot in her face. He turned to Raina and Clarke, "Do you two want him to live or not?"

"Raina, you even said this is not who we are! He protected me, he saved my life!"

"We're talking about Finn's life!" Bellamy screamed back. Raina watched as Clarke's attention bounced between the Blake siblings, then finally stopped at Bellamy as she exhaled a drawled breath.

"Do it."

Bellamy nodded, then he turned to Raina for her approval. "Just say the word, Raina. And I will make him talk." He said quietly and she tore her eyes from the grounder and to him, an emotionless mask on her face.

She didn't want it to come to this, but Finn was her main priority, so if it had to stoop to this level to save him, she'd do it in a heartbeat.
