As we were crossing the clearing among the Azgeda army, a Grounder approached Bellamy and my heart skipped a beat; I got my dagger ready to kill him if he as so much tried to touch Bellamy, but he only fixed his position before moving on. I let out a breath of relief, Bellamy's eyes landing on me and nodding before continuing our way towards the other side of the clearing. As we walked through the forest, I noticed there was fresh blood in some of the leaves on the floor and even a small print on a tree's trunk, motioning Bellamy to check them out as I kept moving in their direction. I was surprised when I found myself at the top of a set of stairs that went down on the ground to what seemed to be some kind of basement.
- "I'll go in first." –Bellamy was quick to say while taking off his mask.
- "What do you expect me to do? Stay back here guarding the entrance?" –I raised an eyebrow, taking mine off too- "Because that sucks."
- "They could be in here."
- "Exactly, and we don't know who the Grounder is and what they can do."
- "Please, you already scared me today."
- "And you didn't just a minute ago? Or back in the Rover? Your arguments are starting to suck, love."
- "I'll go in first and I'll call you once I'm in, alright?"
- "Your plan sucks too." –I smiled at him- "I'll give you two minutes before I go in, just... stay alive, please."
- "You too."
- "You're the one going down there."
He smiled slightly before taking out the blade I had given him earlier and going down the stairs. I watched him disappear and immediately felt uneasy. I mean, it's not like we had many other options; besides, what could go wrong? As long as he doesn't get distracted he'll be fine, he's a good fighter and if the Grounder is hurt, he won't stand a chance. I'm just worried because I love him, yeah, that's it.
I was trying to calm myself when I heard a scream. Clarke? Damn it. I quickly got down the stairs and found myself in a room with two sets of three columns only to hear Clarke pleading for Bellamy's life; he was on the ground with the Grounder over him and a blade pointed at his heart. I took one of my short knives and threw it at the Grounder, hitting him in the arm.
- "If you hurt him, I will kill you." -he Grounder looked at me as I approached him, now with Oreth's blade on my hands- "I won't say it twice, let him go."
I was now next to a column where I saw Clarke tied up. She looked up at me with a mix of panic and confusion in her eyes as she whispered my name questioningly, like I was a vision, before the Grounder spoke.
