(7) the butterflies can't protect you now

Kennedy's POV

I awoke up to the sound of screaming coming from just outside my tent. It was currently just me in the tent as Jasper and Monty slept in the dropship. I rolled my eyes but quickly grabbed my top and jacket and put my boots on, slipping out of the tent. 

I saw a young girl leaning up against a tent. 

"Hey, hey," I said, running over to her. Her eyes burst open and she looked terrified. 

"It's OK," I comforted, putting my arm around her. "You're Charlotte, aren't you?"

She nodded. Everyone had heard the name Charlotte. She was the youngest person in Sky Box and the youngest of the 100, me the next youngest. No one actually knew what crime she had committed but people knew she'd been in Sky Box since she was 11. 

"Do you get the nightmares often?" I asked and I felt her nod against my shoulder. 

"What are they about?" I asked. It may have been an intrusive question but my curiosity got the better of me. 

"My parents. And I guess me, me and my crime," she answered sadly. I internally begged her to tell me more and she continued. 

"My parents were floated by Chancellor Jaha. I went insane that day. I don't remember it but apparently I went crazy and assaulted 2 guards. Jaha is with me every night. I just want them to end," she said. She sounded so haunted and I could hear her sniffling, signalling she was crying. 

"Hey, I'm going to help you OK?" I told her. "But for now, do you want to sleep in my tent? Monty and Jasper are in the dropship so it's just me?" 

"Yes please. If that's OK?" she added. 

I stood up and led her to my tent. 

"It's just there," I pointed. "Try to get some sleep, I'll be back in a bit."

I then headed to the dropship, where I knew Clarke would be with Jasper and Monty.

I'd been helping Clarke for a while with Jasper and she'd sent me to go and get some water, but I was stopped when I bumped into Atom. 

"Ow," I mumbled, rolling my eyes. 

"Have you seen Trina and Pascal?" he asked, looking worried. 

"No, why?" I asked. He looked like he was about to say something but Jasper's screaming drowned him out. Jasper had recently become the camp alarm clock, waking people with his cries of agony. Whilst some tolerated it, others were not so considerate. It was then I realised that we were outside Bellamy's tent, the biggest one, of course. A girl, in a bra and trousers, then left his tent. This had become a regular occurrence and Bellamy showed no signs of slowing down until he had got through all the girls in the 100. Except me and Octavia. I glared at the girl and watched as she stalked off, glaring at me slightly. Bellamy's deep voice, however, made me turn back to him. 

"Jealous much?" he smirked at me. He was stood directly in front of me, completely shirtless and hair a mess. Damn, he was so hot. 

"You wish," I spat back. 

"Bellamy we need to do something about him," Atom said, referencing Jasper as he pointed at the dropship. "He's bad for morale." Murphy then sauntered over. Great, just who I wanted in this conversation. 

"Jasper is a human being Atom. This isn't the Ark. He matters," I argued back. 

"Shut the fuck up Kennedy. You don't have a say in this," Atom said angrily back. 

"No one cares about your fucking opinion Atom!" I shouted and pushed him. He shoved me back. 

"Atom, I'm sorry that Bellamy's hand isn't shoved up my ass like a puppet but get your own fucking opinion!" I argued. This clearly touched a nerve as Atom lashed out and hit me square in the face, causing me to stumble back slightly. 

"You want to go?" I asked and began to storm towards him but Bellamy grabbed me by my waist. I thrashed around in his arms angrily. 

"The butterflies can't protect you now dickhead!" I screamed and I heard Bellamy chuckle slightly. After a short time of angrily moving, I finally started to calm down. 

"I'm fine," I said and he put me down. I then noticed Octavia. 

"If you're talking about Jasper, he saved my life Bellamy. If that doesn't earn him his life in your eyes, I don't know what will," she reminded him. No one said anything and I smiled at her. 

"Hey Atom, want to come to the butterfly fields?" she asked him, smiling brightly at him. Atom looked at her and then to Bellamy and Murphy. He didn't answer her. "Atom!"

Again he ignored her. 

"Bellamy, I need to talk to you!" she shouted and he sighed but followed her. 

"You're such a dickhead," I told Atom, walking off to help Clarke again.
