GRACIE'S SMALL HANDS NEVER left Jasper's as her and her Aunt Tavia tried getting the injured boy to walk again, Gracie had a different relationship with Jasper that she did with Finn, Jasper felt more like her brother than her Uncle, but nevertheless she loved him.

"Look, we're already there. Just a few steps, okay? One foot in front of the other"
Octavia softly instructed Jasper.

The blonde looked up to see the normally goofy boy seemingly paranoid
"Hey JJ! What's wrong?"

Jasper looked down guilty, he didn't want Gracie to worry, he felt bad enough for what the youngest Blake had to endure so far, so he tried to give her a fake smile "Oh, nothing. I'm good."

Gracie looked at Jasper pointedly "Bullshit!"
Jasper and Octavia looked at her wide eyed, The blonde shrugged it off and continued "Your paranoid that something is going to happen to you, or Aunt Tavia and maybe even me!"
She jumped up and hugged Jasper's leg "But I won't let them hurt you, not again, not ever, I promise" she said softly.

Jasper chuckled and wiped the tears that were threatening to fall, he bent down to Gracie's level and gave her a hug "Thank's Gracie"

Octavia smiled softly at her niece and the boy she had a crush on, she sighed playfully and nudged Jasper "Are you two done with your love-fest"

Gracie giggled and stuck her tongue out at her Aunt "Your just jelly, Aunt Tavia"

Octavia narrowed her eyes at the blonde "Why you little-"

And for the rest of the journey was filled with the beautiful sound of Gracie's giggles.

⚜️

Gracie let out a scream as her bright ocean eyes clashed with the lifeless ones of Wells Jaha. The girl scrambled and pressed her back to the bark of a tree, scared tears fell from her eyes.

Soon she felt herself being pushed into a warm chest, she recognised it as her father's and scrunched up his shirt while softly sobbing into his shoulder.

Bellamy Blake held his daughter tightly as she soaked his shirt with tears "Don't worry, Sweetheart"

But all the four year old could do was worry, she had this feeling in her gut that things were just starting.

⚜️

Gracie sat on a rock telling the story of this morning to her friend, Charlie, however Gracie noticed how the twelve year old seemed to be shifting uncomfortably.

Gracie grabbed the older girls shoulders and turned Charlie to face her "What's wrong Charlie, Is it because of Wells?"

Charlotte seemed to hesitate before nodding slowly, the blonde looked at Charlie sceptically before forcing her into a warm hug "It's really scary isn't it Charlie? But it's okay because we will always have each other! Right?"

Charlie smiled, seemingly cheered up by the young Blake "Always, me and you Gracie!"

The two girls laughed before linking hands and walking to the centre of the camp.

⚜️

"This is on you, princess. You should've kept your mouth shut."
Was the first thing that Gracie heard when she walked into the camp. The blonde grabbed Charlie's arm and pulled her towards the commotion.

However what Gracie saw shocked her to her very small bones, infront of her was none other than John Murphy getting hanged by her father.

Gracie watched helplessly as Murphy had his oxygen supply cut off and him struggling to breathe, to be honest it was heartbreaking but Gracie couldn't find it in herself to move.

Soon her Uncle Finn who had heard the commotion ran to stop the injustice "What the hell are you doing? Cut him down! Gracie , get out of here now! Cut him down! Get out of my way."

Yet Gracie still couldn't move until she heard her best friend speak up "Stop! Okay? Murphy didn't kill Wells! I did!"

The whole camp fell into silence and Finn cut Murphy free from the tree.

Gracie stared at her friend in shock, she could faintly hear her mother say "Oh, my God."
But Gracie's eyes never left Charlie.

Charlie walked up to the younger female with tears in her eyes "Gracie say something please"

Gracie gave the older girl such a glare it was a mystery how Charlotte wasn't already six-feet under. "Tent. Explain. NOW!"

⚜️

"Bring out the girl, Bellamy!"

Bellamy looked at Charlie, many emotions swimming through his coal like eyes, Anger and confusion seemed most prominent "Why, Charlotte?"

Charlotte looked at the oldest Blake pleading "I was just trying to slay my demons, like you told me."

Clarke scoffed and glared at Bellamy "What the hell is she talking about?"

The black-haired Blake but his hands up in surrender "She misunderstood me. Charlotte, that is not what I meant."

The group heard Murphy shout again "Bring the girl out now!"

Charlotte grabbed onto Gracie's hand which caused the latter to scoff angrily "Please don't let them hurt me."

Bellamy looked around at the group desperately "If you guys have any bright ideas, speak up. Now you stay quiet."

Finn crossed his eyes and glanced at Gracie, to be honest Finn could care less about Charlotte, if anything he was worried for his niece who seemed to be unusually quiet "Those are your boys out there."

Bellamy scoffed and pointed at Gracie's mother angrily "This is not my fault. If she had listened to me, those idiots would still be building the wall."

Murphy let out another taunting shout "You want to build a society, princess? Let's build a society. Bring her out."

Charlotte grabbed onto Bellamy's pant leg "No! Please, Bellamy."

Bellamy sighed and grabbed the girls hands "Charlotte, hey, it's gonna be okay. Just stay with them."

Charlotte sighed and looked at Gracie with a sad smile "Gracie please talk to me!"

The group started at the two girls curious as to what the blonde Blake had to say. Gracie glared at Charlie with such ferocity that the older girl flinched and inched back slightly, she spoke with such venom in her mouth it made even the others in the tent recoiled.

"You knew what you were doing.Thats what hurts the most"
