The sky above us {book: 2}

6. Touch her, you die

Octavia
I ran, ran as fast as my legs could take me. My throat was dry and raspy, and in dying need of water. I took a second to breath, looking back from where i came from incase he had followed me.

I went to run again but my foot tripped over a root. I rolled down a hill, rocks and twigs scratching every inch of accessible skin. I pulled my arms up to my face, protecting as much as i could.

I stopped with a thud, a growing pain washed through my head. I groaned in pain and worry as my vision started forming black dots. I closed my eyes for a second, only to blackout completely.

Clarke
I grasped the ribbon tightly as i hopped through the woods, screaming Octavias name.

"Octavia!" I yelled, no response. My tears were coming hard and heavy. I couldn't loose my bestfriend, not like this.

"Octavia, where are you!" I screeched, my voice becoming raspy from all the yelling and crying. I was limping over rocks and roots when a pair of firm hands covered my mouth.

I screamed and struggled against the persons grip but they were too strong. They dragged me through the muddy forest, hand still covering my mouth. I glanced up to the person, they were wearing a furry vest and black paint over their eyes. It was definitely a man, i could tell by his bulky silhouette and manly features.

I reached my hands up to the mans', prying his fingers away from my mouth, not completely though.

"Where are you taking me?" I panted. He dug his fingernails into my hand, making me squeal in pain. He quickly looked down to me before returning his gaze back on the trees. I felt his grip loosen a little and i knew this was my chance.

I dug my feet into the ground, jolting him back and making him loose his grip on me. I grabbed his arm and twisted it around his back, holding up the knife Murphy dropped from earlier, to his neck. He grunted in frustration and then head butted me. I stumbled backwards, dropping the weapon on the floor.

He walked towards me, a fierce look plastered on his face. He grabbed my hands, yanking them away from my forehead. He head butted me again and this time, my vision turned black.

My eyes flickered open, my body tensing as I realized where i was. I was chained to a cold rocky wall, surrounded by shelves filled with bottles of liquids. I tried breaking free, yanking the chain but nothing was working.

My body was weak, I hadn't had water or food in hours, and my wound was starting to get infected. If i didn't get the supplies i needed, my body would shut down and I'll die.

I was snapped out of my dream and back into reality by a small groaning noise. Chains rattled against the wall, sending echos throughout the cave. I tensed and backed myself up against the wall.

"W-who is there?" I tried to bravely say but my fear was getting the better of me. The groaning noises quieted and a petite yet fierce voice pushed through the silence.

"Clarke?" It groaned. My facial features tightened in frustration as i pulled against the chains.

"Octavia!" I squealed. "Are you okay?" I asked through the noise.

"I think so, I'm bleeding a bit." She whispered. I sighed and let a tear of relief slip from my eye.

"Thats good, great actually." I laughed.

"Where are we?" I asked a second later.

"I don't know..." She warily said.

"Who took us?" I shot out question after question. She shrugged through the darkness, her facial features dropping.

"I-I think he is coming back." She quietened down and through the dripping of water, we could hear footsteps getting closer.

"Pretend we don't know eachother." I quickly whispered to her.

"Why-" She started to ask.

"So he doesn't kill both of us, now shush." I put a finger up to my lips signaling for her to be quiet. She quickly nodded before the door swung open.

Me and O both watched as he strides in and takes out the keys for the chains. He walks over to Octavia, she tenses as he reaches for her lock.

A click of the lock ignited from the room and soon enough Octavia is kicking over the grounder. She pushes out his knees, causing them to buckle underneath him.

She wraps the chain around his neck, pulling against it. He scratches at his neck, gasping for air. One second later Octavia is taking his place. He kicks out her feet, making her fall into a ball on the floor.

He chains her hands back up but not to the wall this time. She lays there moaning on the ground while i try my hardest not to kill him. He rolls his shoulders back and starts pulling Octavias curled up body towards the door he came through.

"Where are you taking her?" I cant help but yell. I tug at my chains trying to break free but once again, no luck.

He says nothing and closes the door behind him. I hear a jangle of keys and then a click.

"Get back here, ill kill you!" I scream, not caring what he does to me. If he even dares to touch Octavia, ill make him wish he was dead.

"Ill kill you! Do you hear me!" I scream. My vocal cords will probably be strained by the time im done but before i can say anything else, the creaking of the door pierces through the thick air.

"Where is she!" I scream, assuming its the grounder but the person i see is nothing close to a grounder.

"Bellamy?" I choke out, my eyes widening in fear.

"Clarke?" He runs towards me. He kneels down beside me and starts tugging at the chains attached to my wrists.

"Ow, you're hurting me." I wince. He stops and looks into my eyes.

"Sorry." He whispers. "Im getting you out of here"
