Warrior ‣ Bellamy Blake

Twenty-Nine

Oh, look at this writing fanatic! Who is she? ME!

I'm so in the zone today it's insane like what the hell I need to study for finals. But I won't.

Aella left the harvest chamber immediately, but Bellamy caught up to her and stopped her.

"What are you doing?" he asked. He wanted to be angry but had no reason to.

"Our people were with Vincent," she pointed out. "He's dead, so where the hell are they?"

"I don't know. Right now-"

"I'm going to find them."

"No, you're not. I know this isn't gonna end well."

"Yes, I am."

"No, you're-"

"I am. I will shoot you in the leg if that's what it takes."

"You wouldn't."

"You're right. I wouldn't hurt you ever, but I need to go. My people, my responsibility."

"Don't use that against me."

"I will. Let me go."

He let her wrist go and then pressed his lips to hers, murmuring afterward, "Be careful."

"You know me, Bellamy."

"That's why I'm telling you to be careful."

She pressed her lips to his and then kissed his forehead. "You know me so well. Be careful, too, okay?"

"Sounds like a plan."

"See you later," she said, blowing him a kiss.

"See you later."

Then she left, readying her gun. She made sure it wasn't on safety in case she made the fatal error and tried to map out in her head where the marrow harvest chamber was.

She was nearly unconscious when she made the trip from the room to the dorms after being rescued by Dante Wallace.

Then it occurred to her he must not be on their side anymore. If the Grounders were gone, then they made a deal and Cage sure as hell didn't come up with that idea on his own.

"Lexa, I will skin you alive," she murmured to herself before following the pained sounds of screams from the marrow chamber. She knew it was the final stretch and they would kill everyone.

When she almost made it, she found a guard and he quickly overpowered her since she still had been so malnourished. 

He shoved her against the wall and murmured, "This is for Tilling." Then he smashed her head into the wall, effectively knocking her unconscious.

So much for being careful.

She was thrown on the ground of the dorm, still unconscious, and Raven tried to reach her. Her restraints prevented her from doing so which made her devastated.

Then she finally woke up and reached for her gun. She would have been successful if the guard didn't take her gun.

"Look who's awake," Cage mocked. He had it out for the girl for a reason unknown to everyone but him. 

He grabbed the girl and shoved her against the wall, chaining her up to the wall. He had a few spare sets since the kids that died didn't need them anymore. She spat at him and he smirked while cleaning his face with a handkerchief.
