I know you - Bellamy Blake Lovestory

Earth Skills

I wake up to the bright sun stroking my face. My eyes flutter open and I can see that most of the other delinquents are already awake. I notice a jacket over my torso but realize that it's not mine.

“It's Bellamy's. He came tonight and gave it to you. You were freezing”, I hear Charlotte say beside me. “He really seems to care for you.” I smile to myself and get up. I take my jacket and Bellamy's and look at Charlotte. “Hey sweetheart. I need to go to check up on Jasper. I'll see you around, okay?”, I smile at her. “Okay”, she replies with a smile.

When I reach the second level I can only see Monty and Octavia. “Good morning, my loves. How is he?”, I ask smiling. “He's still burning up”, Octavia says to me with a sad look. I sigh and kneel down next to Jasper. After a few hours I get up and tell them I need some fresh air. I leave the drop ship and walk off into the woods. Looking around I enjoy the silence. After all the hectic it's really comforting to only listen to the trees. I have some time now. Maybe I could build a bow. It could be useful for a hunting trip. I start to look for everything I need for a bow and arrows. A quiver could be made out of the rests of the parachutes and the belts of the drop ship. The next day I am building my bow, arrows and the quiver. I am still worried about Jasper. He's not getting better but I refuse to give up on him. We just need to find some herbs for him to recover.

The poultice! If I can figure out what it is maybe there's a chance to help him.

I run into the drop ship and up to the second level. I look down at Jasper and it seems like he's burning up more and more. I look at his wound and sadly realize what I have to do. I pull out my knife and put it into the small fire we made. “Clarke! I'm gonna need your help”, I say as Wells climbs up the ladder. “How is he doing?”, he asks Clarke. She rolls her eyes and snaps at him, “How does it look like he's doing, Wells?” “Hey, I'm just trying to help”, he tries to defend himself. “You wanna help? Good. I need you guys to hold him down”, I say as I pull the knife out of the fire. “I'm not going to like it, am I?”, Monty asks with fear in his voice. I send him a sad look and shake my head sadly.

“Okay. Ready? I need to cut away the infected flesh”, I explain as I lay my hand on his chest and start to cut away the infected flesh. Jasper starts screaming in pain and I feel really bad for him. No one can imagine through how much pain he must be going. Soon Octavia shows up followed by Bellamy. “Stop! You'll kill him”, she yells at me as Jasper passes out from all the pain. “Octavia. She tries to save him”, Finn gives his best to reassure her.

“She can't”, Bellamy's voice booms through the drop ship. “Kid's a goner. If you can't see that you're deluded.” “We didn't drag him through miles of wood just to let him die”, Clarke speaks up. “I'm sorry if Jasper's an inconvenience to you. But this isn't the Ark. Down here every life matters”, I snap at him. “He's a lost cause”, he counters, “Take a look at him.”

I can see Octavia's face fall and her eyes filling with tears. “Hey. I saw my mom my whole life healing people. If I say there's hope, there is hope”, Clarke tries to comfort her a bit.

“This isn't about hope. It's about guts. You don't have the guts to make the hard choices. I do. He's been like this for three days. If he's not better by tomorrow I'll kill him myself”, Bellamy says. I turn around and look at him in disbelief as I can see him struggle to keep his hard face. “Octavia. Let's go”, he demands but she refuses to leave.

“No, I'm staying.” I smile at her. Bellamy sighs annoyed and leaves the drop ship. “Self serving, power-hungry jackass. Doesn't care about anyone but himself. No offense”, Monty says to Octavia. She just shrugs her shoulders without looking up.

“You don't really know him. He was not always this man”, I say in a low voice. “Yeah. Bellamy is all that. But he also happens to be right”, Finn sighs. I get up and put on my jacket. I quickly grab my bow and my quiver and Bellamy's jacket. “I need some air, guys”, I say and leave without a response.
