After a while we stopped fighting, they were running away. We hit one of them and he fell to the ground, inside our gate. He wasn't struggling to get away or anything, it was weird. We took him inside up to the third floor (the medical room)to question him, first we tied him up so that he couldn't get out and kill us. All the hunters were up in the medical room with him. I came up and saw that they were trying to talk to him. He looked up at me.
"What is your name?" Someone yelled at him. He was still looking at me. The boy that was yelling at him saw it. "Oh." He said. "So you like Carly, isn't that something. Hey Carly can you come here for a second, please?" I walked over to him. He grabbed me instantly and held a knife to my neck! "Tell me your name! Or she dies!" Panic ran through my body as i tried to get free. I could see the tree-man starting to struggle more maybe to help me, I'm not sure.
"Adam!" The tree-man yelled. "My name is Adam, ok. Just let the girl go, and I will talk." He flung me aside. Next thing I knew Bellamy ran up and punched the guy who was holding me right in his jaw. He walked back over to me.
"Are you alright?" He asked as he looked over my neck to make sure I was fine.
"Yeah, yeah I'm fine." I say as I shoe him away so I can see the tree-man. He's looks around at us, smiling. "What's so funny?" I ask with a little attitude.
"You don't get it?" He asks. I shake my head with a cold look in my eyes. "This is what we want!" He yells. "If you take me, they have a reason to start a war. It doesn't matter if you kill me or keep me alive, get out all the information you need from me. Go ahead, they will come and they will kill you. All of you." His smile became bigger. "We have more resources then you could ever think imaginable. And when we're done." He paused. "There wont be a single dam one of you!"
"What is wrong with you people?" Devan asked. "What have we done to you, we don't know why we're here and when we go out to look for answers you attack us. Then attack us again and again. When we have done nothing to you."
"You still think this is about you, dont you?" He smiled again. "Your species, humans, they're going extinct. Well that's an understatement, they are. You are the last of your kind, now how does that make you feel? I'm trying to be more of a social relations kind of guy. Is it working so far?"
I think my heart stopped for a minute or even more, I looked around to see that everyone else most likely felt the same way. My parents, My grandparents. All of my friends. They're all gone? No it can't be true, it just can't.
"Our species?" I said after a few minutes of silence. "Meaning that your not of our species?" He shook his head and gained another smile that I just wanted to rip off his face.
"Is that why you can run really fast?" Bellamy asked. "And throw spears with pinpoint accuracy?"
"Well of course, how else do you expect us to take out different planets without all of the powers that we have?"
"Why are you taking out our planet?" Devan asked. Adam smiled again. Then he closed his eyes and stopped talking, but he kept the same creepy and devilish smile.
"Kill him." Bellamy said. just like Bellamy ordered one off the hunters pulled out his gun and walked up to Adam.
"Wait." I said. "He might still have information we need to know and also we need to know how to stop them from killing us. And who or what they have working with them."
"If we don't kill him isn't that the opposite of what we are trying to do to survive?" The same guy that held a knife to me said.
"So we kill him last." Oliver said. "Carly is right, he has information, information that can help us and plus we have him under control in here." Everyone was starting to agree with me and Oliver.
"Fine, we leave him alone until we can get more answers." Bellamy said. "Arron and Cal, you two watch him and don't do anything to him or you'll be answering to me." Bellamy ordered. We all leave except for Arron and Cal, it must have been Cal who put the knife to my neck because he looked at Bellamy when he said his name.
We all left, I went down the ladder first and before everyone could go outside I stopped and turned to them. "Guys, I know that what Adam said hurt. But who knows, he could- and most likely is- lying to us. For all we know he is just saying that to get under our skin." As much as I would like to believe that too, I can't. I don't think they could either because they all continued to walk out the door. How could they believe me, it was the only thing making sense right now.
Well the only thing making sense besides talking to Bellamy. Like Lilly said I should talk to him, set things straight. He may hate me but we still need to get everyone in order if we're going to survive. So I took a deep breathe, walked over to the couches where he was sitting, and started talking. "Hey." I say. He looks up at me and my mind goes blank I can't say anything else. Seriously, that's all I can come up with is "Hey".
"Hey." He said casually and gesgured for me to sit down next to him. I took another deep breathe. "I wanted to say thanks for punching that kid, Arron or Cal who ever it was."
He smiled. "And." I continued "I talked to Lilly. Well she talked and miraculously, I listened." He was looking directly to my eyes, meanwhile mine were all over the place.
"Hey, how are things with you and Oliver? Seriously." He asked.
"We're not together, we never were. We just kissed, and anyways I realized I like someone else. And kissing Oliver helped me realize it."
"Wow. Well I bet his confidence would've been kicked to the curb if he heard that, but hey so did mine." Our eyes finally met.
"Why would yours?" I asked.
"Well I would assume that it's not me you like, and well I like you so you can put the puzzle pieces together on this"
"Yeah I can actually, but it's a shame because I do like you so that puzzle is going to have to be uncompleted." He smiled and started to lean in to kiss me I leaned in too.
Just as our lips were about to touch, a girl came down from the second floor. "Bellamy, come back to bed with me. I miss you." well I put the pieces together on that one too.
"Wow I can totally see that you like me. So much that your sleeping with this girl." I said as I got up and started to walk away. He called out after me but I ignored him and kept going.
I realize now that Bellamy is and asswhole and it's not worth it. No tears no moping around feeling bad.
I walked straight up to Devan, who I was growing a crush on said "Hi" and kissed him right on the lips, he was alone but I don't care who sees. Not even Bellamy, in fact I wish he did.
