Bellarke Book 1

Chapter 9 ~ Protective

~Bellamy's POV~
   I dropped Clark off at medical to get checked out. I had to get back to work on helping build new cabins. It was so hot today. I'm glad I went to the lake with Clarke.
   Finn was helping me carry wood to the new sight. I started helping him set the walls up and nailing them to place.

~Clarke's POV~
   I could finally walk around and do whatever without help. I decided to go see Octavia and Lincoln. I walked through the Ark to get to Lincoln's room.
   Before I was able to knock on the door they opened it and stood there.
   "Hey. I wanted to see if you wanted to hang out," I said and looked at Octavia.
   "Same. What do you have in mind?" She asked.
   "We could show the guys how it's done," I said and laughed.
   "You're forgetting something, Clarke."
   "What?"
   "You were just released. And Bellamy would kill me if you got hurt again," she said. I sighed and nodded. "Maybe we could go and check on the horses," she suggests.
   In the stables, I feed one of the wild horses. No one can tame her yet. She is a beautiful shade of black. Her eyes were blue. Octavia was feeding the rest of the horses. I approached another wild horse slowly. I opened the stable door and held my hand up. The horse stomped on the ground.
   In a flash, the horse rears up and attempted to kick me, only Bellamy comes from nowhere and pulls me out of the stable and slams the door behind him.
   "What the hell, O?! Why did you let her do that?!" He yelled and hugged me tighter.
   "It wasn't her fault, Bellamy. She didn't see me," I told him as I lifted my head from his chest.
   "Sorry. But Clarke you have to be careful around these two. You could've gotten hurt," he sighed and pulled me back into a hug.
   "You're right. I'm sorry," I said and place my face on his chest. He smoothed my hair down and his strong arms wrap around my waist.

*back in Clarke's room*
   "See you later," Bellamy said and kissed me.
   "Bye," I said and waved.
   He opened the door to see my mom slowing to a stop. He looked back at me. I have him a reassuring smile and he left. My mother watched him leave as she entered the room.
   "What did he want?" She asked.
   "Nothing. He just came by to check on me," I lied. She couldn't know about the horses or the fact that I'm dating him. At least, not yet.
