A Lesson in Kissing

"No. No!"

"Charlotte, wake up."

Charlie shuffled in her sleep, the noise nearly waking her up. As she mumbled, Bellamy rubbed her arm and told her to go back to sleep then he delt with Charlotte. Charlie nodded back off and woke up later by Bellamy shaking her up. "Wake up, princess."

"Mmm. I'm up." She grumbled, Bellamy chuckled at her.

"Again with the moaning." He joked. "Come on, the fog is cleared."

Charlie chuckled and got up. Bellamy walked to the opening of the cage. Charlie right behind him. She felt a tinier hand grasp hers and looked down to see Charlotte. She shyly smiled so Charlie comforted her by smiling, herself. 

"Anybody out here?" Bellamy called out. Nobody answered so Bellamy tried again. "Jones?"

"We're here!" Jones called out. Bellamy headed in the direction of the voice and glanced behind him to make sure that Charlie and Charlotte were following.

"Lost you in the ster. Where'd you go?" Bellamy asked his followers as they reached each other.

"Made it to a cave down there. What the hell was that?"

"I don't know. Where's Atom?" Bellamy asked him.

No body said anything. Charlie didn't even notice the missing pressure on her hand until she heard a scream and on instinct- ran. "Charlotte?" She called out. The little girl screamed again. When she caught up with her, she understood why she was screaming. Atom was lying on the ground, having a hard time breathing. He looked as if acid was thrown all over his body. He was still alive and awake so that means he's been suffering for hours. "Fuck," she whispered.

Bellamy ran up behind her, "Son of a bitch," he muttered. "Atom!"

Charlie jogged up to them and bent down. Atoms eyes looked as if they had clouds in them. She knew this meant he was blind.

She listened as he continued to whisper "Kill me."

The both of them stood up and Charlotte walked up to them. Sliding a knife into Bellamy's hand. "Don't be afraid."

"Go back to camp." He ordered, the guys headed off. "Charlotte, you too." It took her a minute, but she did. Bellamy squated down next him. His hand was shaking. Charlie got down next to him and placed her hand over his. He looked up at her, an unreadable expression on his face.

She couldn't let Bellamy do this. He wpuld never recover. So instead she grabbed the knife, and looked at Atom. He kept begging causing tears to sting Charlie's eyes. But she refused to let them leave. She didnt know Atom, but the thought of him having been through so much pain in who knows how many hours, makes her feel sad. "I'm gonna help you, ok?" She stated.

She pushed his hair back and began to hum. Then slowly, she pushed the knife through his neck. Bellamy watched her curiously, wondering how she could do it so calmly.

When they finally arrived back at camp, it was dark. Octavia had run out. "It's about time. There gonna kill Jasper. Did you get the medicine?"

"Yea, yea, I got it. Come on, let's go talk." Clarke tried to get her away but she pushed through, heading towards Bellamy and Charlie.

"Octavia, just stay there. Please, just stay there." Bellamy begged his sister to stay back. But she never listens.

She pushed through and looked at Atom's body that was covered with his jacket. "Atom."

"There's nothing I could do." Bellamy urged.
