The King's Storm [Bellamy Blake]

10: Like Killing Your Ex Girlfriend's New Boyfriend?

I felt the tears pouring down my face once again as I made my way towards the lake by mount weather. I climbed through the trees and let my head guide me, as I swung through the trees and around the area. I found myself by a cliff, overlooking the ocean. I sat on the ledge with my legs dangling over, watching as the waves cashed into the rocks below.

"I'm over here" I hear a young voice shout, and soon I hear many people storming through the forest to my left, I quickly ran the other way and climbed into a tree, looking into the clearing as I see John and a few others chase bellamy, Finn and Charlotte into the clearing, Charlotte being pushed behind Bellamy as John held Clarke to his chest, a knife to her throat. My breath caught in my throat as I saw what was happening. "Don't hurt her" charlotte begged and I felt my heart hurt. The girl didn't want anyone hurting.

"Ill make you a deal, you come here and I will let her go" Murphy offered, and I watched as Charlotte looked up to Bellamy and Finn.

"No! No, I have to! Murphy, this is not happening. I can't let any of you get hurt anymore. Not because of me. Not after what I did." Charlotte turned and ran off the edge of the cliff, I gasped and bit back the scream as I watched the young girl take her life. John let go, shocked at what had just happened and everyone watched as bellamy charged towards the teenager, they tumbled together, rolling and landing directly below my tree. Punching repeatedly, I watched as Bellamy took all his anger out on the already injured boy. His face becoming more and more bloodied.

"Stop" I screamed, dropping from the tree and looking to both. "Stop it" I begged, looking between the both of them.

"He deserves to die Ember. Even you can't defend what he just did!" Bellamy yelled, standing up and looking to me. I shook my head and looked to Murphy, tears in my eyes. He couldn't even meet my eyes.

"I can't but we are not murderers down here Bellamy, you will not kill someone for their crimes anymore. You lead with your emotions too much, it makes you weak" He looked to me shocked and I looked down to the man I had considered a friend. "We will not kill Murphy. We free him, he will never be allowed back into the camp, but we will not become the arc" I look around to all the teenagers around. "Down here there are still rules, Charlotte has paid for her crimes and so will murphy, now let this be a lesson. There is no 'whatever the hell we want' you follow the guidance given and I swear on my life, if anyone disobeys anymore..." I look to Bellamy and then to Murphy. "Today I have to banish one of the two friends I have found on this earth. So I hope you all learn from this" I crouch down beside Murphy then give him my knife and pull him upright, holding him by the shoulders.

"Survive John, because I don't know how long I will stay here. And so help me I'm going to need someone to keep me sane when I leave this hell" He nodded and pulled me close, pressing a kiss to my forehead. I held onto him tightly and buried my head into his chest, not wanting to let go. Finally, someone pulled me back, I looked up to see Bellamy glaring and John.

"If you ever come back to the camp we will be right back here and I will throw you over myself" He threatened, I looked sadly to John who nodded to me then smiled.

"He still loves you, and he'll always try to impress you, even if he does it like a dick. Try not to kill him, he might win you over again.... You know, when hell freezes" Both John and myself laugh, looking too see a rather angry Bellamy. I watch as everyone begins to turn away and walk back towards the camp. John pulled me closer to his body and ran a hand through his hair. "Just once more to piss him off" he laughed then pressed his lips to mine, I smiled and kissed back gently, feeling nothing in the kiss. He pulled back and whispered. "You still love him too, don't you?" I looked to the floor and John pulled me close. "Don't be ashamed, he should be. For hurting someone like you" John pulled back then limped off in the opposite direction, I saw Bellamy stood in the opening of the clearing, waiting for me.

"Come on" He muttered softly, I met his eyes and he held out a hand. I walked straight past him, "you really hate me, now don't you?" I turned back to him and laughed.

"You just tried to beat him to death bellamy!" I screamed in his face and he blinked a few times. "You let the camp egg you on and you tried to hang him, then because you were proved wrong and because a girl couldn't take what she did and what you did because of that. You tried to beat him to death. Why Bellamy? Did the idea of me moving on piss you off that much?" I laughed to myself and he scowled.

"You think this is about you? Of course!" He laughed. "Not everything is about you darlin' I couldn't care less if you want to start pounding Murphy, do it. You want to run this place though, you've got to make some difficult decisions" He glared.

"Like killing your ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend?" I jabbed back and bellamy's eyes widened.

"Boyfriend?" He questioned and I looked away from him then laughed.

"Well... he might have been, it seemed like he was going for that" I sighed and we made our way back into the camp, everyone looked to the both of us and Bellamy placed a hand on my shoulder. "Don't act like we're friends now" I walked off once we got back to the camp, and returned to my tent, falling to the floor and letting out a sob. I heard someone walk in but didn't bother looking up as they sat beside me and ran a hand along my back, hushing me quietly. Finally when I had finished I looked up to see Octavia looking at me with a weak smile.

"Storm, I'm so sorry that happened. I know you had just began opening up to him. I thought you finally had a chance to move on from Bell" She whispered and I sat up, sniffling when the tarp opened again.

"I didn't need Murphy to move on, Bellamy showed his true colors a long time ago. On the arc" She looked to me inquisitively. "They did some horrible things to me Tavy, many men held me down while they tortured me, physically and mentally. And when I finally got out Bellamy broke my heart, twice. I wasn't selected by Jaha because I was the most expendable. I volunteered because even if the Earth was uninhabitable, I wanted to die. I was going to help everyone survive long enough for them to realize and then when the arc came down I would be executed by the guard" Octavia looked at me with tears in her eyes. I took a shaky breath and ran a hand through my hair.

"You want to die?" She asked, her voice breaking towards the end of the sentence. I nodded and stood up, holding out a hand.

"Octavia, I never lived in the first place. Look at me, I didn't have a life up there, and here my only purpose is to ensure survival" I turned to leave only to find a teary Bellamy stood in my doorway. I rolled my eyes and pushed past him, watching as he hugged his now crying sister.
