Beautiful Tragedy

Four

                    Third Person POV

"Has anyone seen Kayleigh?" Bellamy asked upon entering the engineering room, clearly agitated.

He couldn't find her, and everyone he'd asked said they hadn't seen her either. And from the looks he was recieving from Raven and Clarke he knew he wasn't going to like what he was about to hear.

"What is it?" He questions "What happened?"

"She never came back." Raven says going back over to the screens she was monitoring.

"What do you mean she never came back?"

"She's in Polis." Clarke says looking back to Bellamy, running her tongue over her bottom lip. "And she's making things worse."

"What the fuck do you mean she's in Polis and she's made things worse?"

"Exactly what she said." Asher growls out, as Clarke moves away from him after laying the bandage back down on his chest.

"Kayleigh didn't leave like we thought she did. Kane just radioed in, they found bodies throughout the city not long after we left, all of them with their hearts carve out, along with other parts."

"He thinks Kayleigh did it?"

"Kayleigh told Roan herself when she went to him, that she did it." Clarke says ranking her hands through her hair. "The other clans are taking it as a sign to rise up against Azgeda, against Roan."

Bellamy shook his head in denial. He watched her leave-they all did. "We need to find her. Send out a team-

"We can't, we need every resource in trying to find a way to stop the radiation-

"Then I'll go myself!"

"And we need you here." Clarke argues.

"You won't find her." Asher grunts out, pulling a shirt over his head. "not if she doesn't want you to.."

"What does that mean?" Bellamy snarls at the bigger man, his patience growing thinner.

"It means we need to focus on the bigger problem at hand." Clarke reminds him. "if she had just listened and came back-

"You sky people are fools to believe after everything she would come back to a place that causes her pain, to the people who are the cause of it all." Asher says cutting off Clarke. "You who claim to care, know so little about her.."

"Asher," Raven says placing herself in between the two men when Bellamy went to lunge at him. "We all care about Kayleigh, you know that." She says as he turns his glacial stare her way, as she pushes Bellamy back. "Clarke managed to buy us some time to try to figure out our next move, time that we don't have." She stresses. "It's safer for her to be here with us, than it is to be out there." Raven says, limping over towards him. "You want to keep her safe? Bring her back here, before she kills any more of them, and we have no way of stopping any of it."

Asher stays silent staring down at Raven for a moment or two. He didn't trust Wanheda, nor did he trust any of the other sky people. They had proved one to many times how dishonorable they were. The Natbilda thought she was the bringer of destruction, but it wasn't so. It was the people who fell from the sky with her that were. Out of all them here the little birds eyes were the ones that were most honest, pure.

"You say Praimfaya is coming as it did the last time." Raven nods, not speaking. "If it is coming and there's no way to stop it, why should I bring her back here to this prison? Why shouldn't I take her away, let her be free until the end comes?"
