"Would have, could have, should have, but did not."

chapter 14: camelopardalis

I lowered myself to the rock adjacent to the lake, I breathed harshly trying to get more air into my lungs. Finn and Raven remained in the water searching for the radio. Bellamy peered over at from beneath his eyelashes, I glared in return which made him look away.

"I told you to take it easy, you're not completely healed yet. You shouldn't have come after Bellamy." Clarke spoke as she stopped walking.

"I'm fine," I grumbled back not in the mood to talk with anyone.

"Clarke's just trying to check if you're okay." I looked up from the ground and saw Bellamy standing next to Clarke.

"I told you not to speak to me," I warned through gritted teeth.

"I-" Bellamy tried but Clarke interrupted him.

"Why don't you head back to camp and get some rest, we've got it covered here." Clarke advised and I slowly stood up.

"Sure, anywhere where he's not sounds better." I spat as I turned my back and began walking back in the direction of camp.

"Evie-" Bellamy started as he took to follow me.

"Leave her Bellamy." Clarke ordered as she held her arm in front of him.

"I found it!" Finn called, but I kept walking.

Just because Finn had found the radio didn't mean it would work, it didn't mean that I would forgive Bellamy or forget what he did. Innocent people could die because of him and all because he was scared of being arrested, he looked out for himself like he had been in the beginning ever since we came down from the ark.

I held onto the rough bark as I maneuvered over a hole in the ground, I felt a hand wrap around my arm and pull me backwards.

"Bellamy, I told you-" I stopped mid sentence as I came face to face with a tall man who's face was cover with a mask and hood.

My mouth opened to yell, but he raised his hand with an old rag clutched in it and brought it to cover my mouth and nose, I became dizzy and unstable on my feet. My wide eyes closed as I fell limply into the man's arms.

I held my head low as my arms were pulled behind my back, I stumbled forward as I was shoved out the doorway and into the hallway. Neighbours stood watching with disgust on their faces as I passed them. I squeezed my eyes shut willing the tears to go away, but they just kept coming.

I stopped abruptly after almost knocking into somebody, I lifted my head and my breath caught in my throat. Atom stood in front of my with wide eyes, his eyes flickered to the two guards behind me and the handcuffs which bound my hands together.

"What's going on?"

"Sir you need to move out of the way." A guard ordered sternly from behind me.

"Evie, what happened?" Atom asked worriedly.

"I didn't do it. I didn't, I swear." I broke out as I was gripped by each arm and taken past Atom.

"I promise, I didn't." I said as Atom disappeared from view.

After being led down numerous corridors with people staring at me with every step I took, I reached the sky box. I looked up and down at all of the cells, the banging on doors and the screams filled the area around each level. I was halted outside a cell door while one guard pressed the scanner and the door opened, a brunette sat on the bottom bunk. Her hair surrounding her like a curtain, her gaze snapped towards the door as my restraints were removed.

"Welcome to the skybox, kid." I was pushed into the cell and door was locked shut.

I held my head in my hands before turning around at the sound of a voice.

"It's not that bad once you get used to it, I'm Octavia."

I felt my body being shook and I blinked a few times adjusting to the dark surroundings, Octavia sighed in relief when I looked at her. We were in a cave with a dimly lit candle on a table near the back of the cave, I had a small headache and I felt a bit drowsy as I sat up.

"Thank god, I thought you were dead. You've been out for a whole day." Octavia breathed, it was then I noticed that her foot was shackled to the wall.

I looked down at my own foot to see it was in the same position.

"How did we get here? Or better where are we?" I questioned while looking at the makeshift bed situated across the cave.

"He brought us here, but he didn't hurt us. I didn't see his face, he took me when I was in forest." Octavia answered, there was shuffling and then the same man with the mask entered the cave.

This time he took it off his face and I saw the tattoos along his tanned skin and the warrior paint on his face, he poured a clear liquid into two small glasses and crouched down in front of Octavia and I. I snarled at him as he held the glasses towards us, Octavia shot me a reassuring glance and I turned back with a sigh. I opened my mouth and he tipped the glass into my mouth, the liquid was bitter sweet but I swallowed it nonetheless.

Footsteps sounded at the entrance of the cave and Bellamy, Finn, Jasper and Sterling appeared inside the cave. I watched as Bellamy hit the grounder in the back of the head knocking him out cold onto the ground.

"Bellamy quick, the keys!" Octavia urged as she pointed towards the table.

Bellamy unlocked Octavia's foot and then he came to mine, our eyes locked and I just stared back at him. Once my foot was free, Bellamy offered me his hand and I took it stubbornly. I was back on my own two feet and I reached up and tightened my ponytail.

The grounder sprung up from the floor and stabbed Finn with his blade, Bellamy hit him over the head with the hand gun that he always kept on his belt. Jasper and Sterling helped Finn stand up from his slumped position, his face had paled and he grunted in pain.

"We need to get him back to Clarke quickly." Octavia stated as she helped Sterling and Jasper.

I'm sure by the time we got back to camp everyone will have heard about Bellamy's true colours, I was still angry with him, how could he still walk around like he has been knowing that people could die because of him.
