King of the City (Bellarke Edition)

Chapter 5

Clarke followed Bellamy out along the docks, she was looking out across the water when she ran into him.

"Sorry, I didn't notice you stopped" She stated looking up at him. That's when it hit him, he resembled the girl on the cover of the newspaper, hell he could pass as her brother.

A group of Newsboy's were headed past them.

"hey, you got a paper?"

"Yeah" one of the smallest of the kids handed one over to him. He scanned the page quick, Daughter of Senator Abigail Griffin, Ms. Clarke Griffin. He didn't resemble the girl, He is the girl. He took a deep breath, trying to control his rage and handed the kid the paper back.

"Thanks, now beat it" The kids hurried in the direction of the city. He turned to face her.

"Take your hat off" she could tell he was pissed off, she assumed he finally made the connection. He was smart and observant she knew it would only be a matter of time.

"No" she replied defiantly, His advice of "man up" coming back to her.

"Take it off" he growled.

"Make me" she challenged. If it was fight he wanted, it was a fight he was going to get, she was done being the victim.

"I don't hit girls" He was seething, the fire evident in his eyes, he was losing his temper and she could tell.

"Didn't stop you the other day" her eyes mirrored his, full of fire. The need to fight, to release the anger.

"I didn't know you were a girl then" he stated, a brief flash of regret crossing his face.

"Nothings changed, now you know, keep it to yourself and train me" she stated. He gave her a smirk.

"Your not what I expected" he replied.

"I didn't ask" she retorted, shoving him. He shoved her back just as she swung. She connected with his eye and he used his leg to wipe her off her feet. The second she hit the ground he was on top of her.

"Now, I said take off the hat." he stated pulling it away from her head, the clip stayed fastened to the hat letting the golden curls fall around her face.

"Bellamy give it back, before someone notices."

"Ahhh yes, the princess in the newsie attire" he chuckled. He was mad but that didn't stop him from noticing her beauty. The newspaper didn't do her justice. He gave her hat back and stood, he wasn't on his feet long before she took him off his feet. He hit the dock and she hit her feet.

"Don't call me princess" She stated walking away back to the city. She almost made it off the dock before she felt herself be lifted and tossed in the water. When she came up for air, there stood Bellamy, a smug look plastered on his face.

"I'll call you whatever I like, princess" he stated.

"Well what do we have here?" a female voice drew there attention. Her eyes shot to her hat still on the dock, then to the girl with braids.

"Octavia, keep moving"

"No such luck brother, another girl newsie?" She inquired.

"Clarke is a boy newsie if anyone asks" he replied, Clarke heaved herself up on the dock and stood, dripping wet.

"Clarke as in cover of the newspaper Clarke" Octavia noted.

"Yeah, the same as Clarke in hiding."she replied glaring at Bellamy.

"Or Clarke of the water" Octavia laughed. Bellamy sent his sister a smirk and Clarke stood there clearly not amused.

"Let's go get you dry clothes princess"
