O Death//Book 2 in the Calliope Kane Series

Chapter 3

"There comes a time where you would kill for the one that you love."

The group had been walking for about two hours in silence. James walked on the left side of Callie as Bellamy walked on the right. Murphy was up ahead of the group, still shackled. Finn and Monroe were a few paces behind Callie and the boys with Sterling bringing up the rear.

The silence was palpable as the only sound was the crunching of leaves and sticks under their feet. Callie noticed Bellamy shooting glances at James and sighed. She knew that they didn't exactly like each other but she was hoping that the jealousy that he was feeling would eventually fade..though she had no clue what they actually were.

"So where do we go from here?" Bellamy asked waving around at the fork in the forest. He pushed Murphy a bit in the back as Murphy shot him a glare and stopped.

Holding his hands up, he stared Bellamy down." How about we get rid of these first."

"No way." Bellamy said shaking his head. There was no way in hell that he was cutting him lose to run around free.

"Come on man. What if we get attacked? I need to protect myself." Murphy said with a slight wine to his voice that made Callie rolled her eyes.

"Then I guess you die." Bellamy said shrugging as Finn stomped forward. Cutting Murphys bindes free he threw them into the woods and looked at everyone.

"There. Now show us where we are going." He said stomping off into the night. Callie looked at Bellamy and shook her head motioning for him to follow the angry boy. The last thing all of them needed was Finn flying off the handle.

"What are you doing?" Bellamy asked catching up to him. Glaring, Finn stopped walking and motioned to Murphy.

"It was your idea to bring him." Finn said rolling his eyes.

"Yeah, because he's the only one who knows where to go. Without him we have no way of finding any of our friends." Bellamy said waving his arm slightly.

"So then we probably shouldn't leave him defenseless." Finn said his voice raising to match Bellamys. "Besides we can handle Murphy." He said shaking his head. Callie closed her eyes and rubbed her temples. Monroe caught her eyes when she opened them and Callie laughed when the other girl rolled hers and agreed.

"Guys, lets just go. We have a job to do." Callie said breaking up the stare down. The group started forward again as everyone started following her.

"So does that mean I get a gun?" Murphy mumbled as Bellamy shoved him forward.

The light was starting to shine through the trees and Callie realized they had been up most of the night. Stifling a yawn, she felt Bellamy's hand rub her back as she looked over at him and smiled.

"You doing okay?" He asked quietly. He realized that she hadn't really rested yet. His adrenalin was keeping him up but he was worried about Callie.

"Yeah, just tired. Ready to find everyone and have them home." She said shrugging her shoulder s a bit. "It's always another battle, another issue, another thing that we have to fix. And I'm tired of it honestly. I just want to be able to breath."

Bellamy nodded agreeing with her. Since they landed it had been one massive fuck up and he was getting tired of having to play hero all the time.

The trees started to part as a village came into view. Bellamy grabbed Callie's arm as she landed next to him. The rest of the group followed suit as they scoped the place out. Looking around the village, Bellamy handed his scope to Callie so she could see.
