Bellarke Book 1

Chapter 3 ~ The Operation

~Clarke's POV~
*in Clarke's dream*
"Bellamy?" I say as I walk into his tent. I stop dead in my tracks when I notice he doesn't have a shirt on. I have to force my eyes away.

"What is it Princess?" he says casually like he didn't care I walked in on him.

"I'm sorry I should have announced myself," I said and gestured at the tent flap.

"It's fine. What's up?" He asks.

"I thought I could get your help?" I said and he's shifted his shirt.

"For what?" He asked.

"I need to go out in the woods and look for some medicinal herbs. I was wondering if you could accompany me," I said. He walked over and shrugged.

"Sure."

"Great meet me at the gate in 10?" I asked and moved to the door.

"Yeah."

I walk out of his tent and headed to check on Raven, who burned herself with some wires in the drop ship.

"Why were you in Bellamy's tent?" I heard Finn's voice ask.

"He is going to help me with something," I said and moved past him.

"Why? You could've asked me," he said and grabbed my arm. I rip my arm from his grasp.

"Because I don't want your help," I stated. He grabbed my arm again and stared at me.

Bellamy taps on his shoulder and Finn whips around. Next thing I know, Finn is on the ground holding his face.

"Let's get a move on, Princess," he said and moves toward the gate.

   I have dreamed of all the nice things Bellamy ever did for me. For some reason he was the only person my dreams centered around.

~Bellamy's POV~
   I sat next Clarke. She hasn't woken up yet and it's been five days. She twitched a few times but that was it.
   "Please, Clarke. Hold on," I said and squeezed her hand. Where was her mom?
   "B-Bellamy?" I heard her shaky voice say.
   "Clarke?!" I jump up and lean over her, "Are you ok?! How are you awake?!"
   "I... I don't... know," she said quietly, "Bellamy... there is... something... I want to tell... you in case... I don't make it."
   "No, Clarke. You will make it," I told her and whipped her stray, sweat soaked, hair off her face.
   "Clarke?!" I heard an older woman yell. I turned to see Abby rush to Clarke's side.
   "About time!" I yelled in frustration.
   "Miller finally got back," Octavia said.
   "What happened?" Abby demanded. I filled her in and Clarke gripped my hand. "I need medical tools. Now!"
   I rushed to get them and Abby started prepping Clarke. "Clarke. Due to the position of the blade fragment, you will be paralyzed in your left leg. Possibly permanently," she said and Clarke nodded. "It will be painful because the lack of medicine,"'Abby said and took her scalpel, "Ok. Starting now." Clarke raised her shaky hand and I held it.
