After seeing Clarke and Finn speed off into the forest with Charlotte, Bellamy snuck away from the crowed and ran, stumbling into the forest to find them.

Chants from Murphy and his group became louder, and clearer the further he ran out.

"Charlotte!" He heard Clarke yell and the crunching of leaves as somebody ran through the forest.
He took off running, running as fast as his long legs would take him until he saw the young blonde running through the trees.

He snuck up behind her and scooped her up by wrapping his arms tightly around her stomach, she let out an ear piercing scream thinking it was Murphy.

"I hear you Charlotte, you can't hide forever!" Murphy yelled from somehwhere deep within the forest.

Bellamy covered over her mouth with his hand to muffle her screams, "Ssh, Charlotte it's me." He whispered, soothingly.

He took his hand away from her mouth but still kept a tight grip on her to stop her from getting away, "Bellamy I need you to go, they'll kill you." She cried.

"I'm not letting anything happen to you, Charlotte." He reassured her.

"Please Bellamy, I can't let you do this." She said, her energy drained from her body.

The leaves behind them begin crunching, Bellamy turned around luckily seeing it was just Clarke and Finn.

"Oh my god, Charlotte." Clarke said relieved and sighing.

Bellamy let go of her and walked over to the tall blonde.

"How could you let her get away?" He shouted in her face, pushing her backwards.

"Hey!" Finn yelled, holding tightly onto Charlotte .

Clarke looked to the ground with her mouth open, and a noise of disgust leaving it as she scoffs. She brings her gaze back up and to Bellamy. His hooded eyes were furrowed together and his expression was nothing but pure anger.

She took her hands and placed them on his bare chest and pushed him back hard, he stumbled back slightly, "Don't you ever touch me again Blake, it isn't my fault she killed my best friend, if she hadn't done that then we wouldn't be running around right now where grounder could get us any minute! It's not my fault that she got away either, so don't pin this on me!" She shouted at him, her face close to his face and her teeth gritted.

Suddenly the sound of Murphy got even closer, "We need to go." Finn said, scooping up Charlotte and running off with her in his arms.
Clarke and Bellamy following behind them.
They ran and ran until Murphy could no longer be heard. Clarke suddenly tripped on a a tree root that was sticking out of the ground, her ankle twisted and cracked as she fell to the ground.
"Shit! " Clarke yelled in agony.
"Why do you have to be so god damn clumsy, Princess? " Bellamy growled, bending down and placing his hands underneath her to pick her up.
He scooped her up bridle style and continued running.
"Bellamy, put me down. I'm fine, I can walk. " She said, a tear in the corner of her eye.

"You think I want to be carrying you right now? Your ankle is broken Clarke, and you're not fine because I can see tears in your eyes. Also you need to start eating more, You're light as shit and I don't need you passing out and slowing us down. "

Suddenly Charlotte managed to escape from Finn's arms and ran off to the edge of a cliff.
Murphy and his group cornered her and Bellamy threw Clarke down on the floor sprinting after her.

"Asshole." She muttered.
Finn grabbed her arm and placed it over his shoulder to help support her as they followed Bellamy.

"There's no where for you to run now little girl. " Murphy chuckled.

"Murphy, you don't have to do this! " Clarke cried.
John suddenly grabbed Clarke and held a knife tightly to her throat.
Bellamy was immediately filled with fear for Clarke, yeah he hated her but he would never want to see her get hurt.
"No, please don't. " Finn cried.

John chuckled, pressing the knife in and slightly dragging to create a cut. Clarke cried out in pain as the blood dripped out.

"Give me the girl and I won't have to. " he had a wicked grin on his face.

"Charlotte, don't do it." Clarke pleaded.

"I can't let anyone else get hurt. " Charlotte said stepping closer and closer to the edge, she turned around and then threw her self off the cliff, her body falling weightlessly into the water.

John's face was filled with shock at what he just saw, Bellamy looked like he was about to burst out in tears, and Clarke already had.

She collapsed to the floor and crawled her way over to the edge of the cliff to look down.

"Charlotte!" She cried, Finn hovering next to her as Bellamy attacked Murphy.

He threw his fist at his face over and over again until his face was stained red from the blood pouring out of his face.

"Bellamy, stop! " Clarke yelled, grabbing his shoulders, trying to pull him off.
Instead she ended up getting hit in the face, the force sending her flying backwards.

Finn walked over to Bellamy and pulled him off of Murphy and rolling him onto his back. He saton his stomach and threw a punch in his face for hurting Clarke.

Bellamy's gun had fallen out of his waistband so Clarke hurried over to it and shot a bullet through the air.
They both stopped fighting and turned to look at her sitting on the ground, a gun aiming at the two.

"What the hell, Clarke? We need all the ammunition we have, you can't just go wasting it!" Bellamy spat.

"And we need you guys, I can't just let you three kill each other. "

Bellamy's eyes softened when he looked over to see her face bleeding from where he had hit her. Her face was stained with tears, blood was dripping from her neck and her ankle was bent out of place.

She was in so much pain right now, emotionally and physically, but she was still able to stay strong.
Right at that minute he was finding it hard to be mad at her.
