We Are One || Bellamy Blake [1]

VII. Run

CHAPTER 1X07

VIII. Run

It was dawn already.

They were all beyond tired, neither letting it completely show. But they all knew it. However, none of them was tired enough to give up. Not on Octavia.

"About Clarke..." Finn felt the need to say.

Clarissa stopped him, "You broke her heart but you are still my best friend. That is your business. Not mine, Finn."

He planted a kiss on her forehead gently, "Thanks, pretty girl."

Bellamy watched the affection between the two friends for a few feet away. He didn't know what kind of thing they had going on but it was something he didn't feel confortable with.

So, he quickly interrupted the two, "So what about the tracks, Finn?"

"I don't see anything." Finn looked around, "We lost the track."

Clarissa grabbed her dagger from her pocket, she felt the need to know she would able to protect herself and everyone else around her. She liked to be ready.

"Keep looking."

"Where is John?" Roman asked.

Everyone looked behind, hoping to find him.

"He was here just now." Clary replied, confused.

That's when a body fell right in front of Clarissa, John's dead body. She stepped back, a gasp surprised and terrified gasp leaving her lips.

"Are you ok?" Finn touched her back slightly.

She faced him and whispered, "They are using the trees, Finn."

The noise from the birds was making them spin around each other, around the trees. It was almost as if they were having a nightmare, except it was very real. They were looking for something worth running from, and they were losing.

Roman was scared, "We shouldn't have crossed. Can we go now?"

"There." Jasper pointed at a grounder, far away.

"Another." Tony warned.

"We should run." Finn proposed, and he wasn't wrong.

They all exchanged looks and didn't lose much time, they started running, jumping over logs lost in the woods. The speed they were going was something unhuman but that is how the instinct of survival works. It makes you stronger, most of the times, not always, however.

"Keep running!" Finn shouted.

But Tony was too tired, "I can't anymore!"

So Clarissa stopped abruptly. She wouldn't let anyone behind. Everyone was going back to the camp with Octavia. She wasn't willing to lose anyone else. If one stopped, everyone stopped.

"I'm not stopping because of him."

"I am." She told him, "No one is staying behind, do you hear me?"

"I'm done running!" Bellamy shouted.

"What are you doing?" Finn asked.

"They know where she is."

"Diggs." Roman called out, "Where are you?"

That was when the girl ran away through the woods alone.
