Trust [3] On Hold

It all moved in slow motion as Bellamy watched them file into the cave. He was glad to see Harper and the guys but Octavia is what he was truly worried about. Kane came into his view and finally she showed up and it was like the weight on his shoulders lifted. Now the Grounders.

When he didn't see them come in he figured they joined their people out on the blockade. "Where are the Grounders?" Bellamy asked as he looked over to Kane and Octavia.

Octavia breathed heavily. "Pike put a bullet in their brains." She said as she finally let some tears stray from her eyes. Bellamy heart sank as he walked forward but his chains wouldn't let him get close.

"O. I am so-"

He felt his sister lash out on him her first colliding with his face with so much anger behind it. Bellamy looked at her with wide eyes as blood dropped from his nose. She looked at him before punching him again. He deserved this. This is what he gets.

"Octavia that's enough." Clarke ordered but Bellamy's head snapped up. "Clarke stay out of this." The boy declared as he heard his sister's laboring breathing behind him before she punched him again.

And again.

And again.

But this is what he deserved. He deserved her hatred. He became a monster because he couldn't deal with his own pain.

Miller tried to intervene but Bellamy called him off just before Octavia three her final through almost knocking the daylight out of him.

His vision was spotty as he looked up to her distressed face. "You are dead to me." Octavia declared before she walked away her body shaking in sobs.

Those five words echoed in his mind. What has he done?

"Why did we decide to save him again?" Lincoln asked as Murphy complained for the fifth time of being hungry. Skylar punched his shoulder and glared at him.

"He's my friend I wasn't gonna let him be in the clutches of a mass child murder." Skylar stated as she felt the boy's arm rest over her shoulders.

"And she just prefers me over you Lincy boy. I mean it's not that hard to see. You lack humor which key to every friendship." Murphy said as he held out his hand like he was painting a picture for them.

"You're an ass Murph." Skylar said with a laugh as she shrugged his arm off his shoulder. Aden was just a few feet in front of them looking at the scenery. He's probably hasn't been out of polis since he first arrived there. Skylar understood. She felt the same way when she got sent away.

"We should eat though. I'm sure everyone is getting hungry. Murphy and Lincoln can you guys find us a nice little clearing? Me and Aden can look for some berries and stuff." Skylar suggested as she stepped forward to join the young boys side.

"Can we I don't know eat some meat?" Murphy asked as Skylar glanced at him. "Sure I will start the fire that can lead people who are out for your head  right to us." Skylar said meeting his same attitude.

"Note taken. Berries it is." Murphy muttered as he headed off with Lincoln.

Aden laughed at the exchange. "Are you two always like that?" He asked. "I sure hope not." Lincoln muttered as he followed Murphy.

Skylar laughed and looked to Aden. "Yeah. We like bugging each other. It's kinda our thing. It's how we show we care for each other." She explained as she walked with the boy.
