The sky above us {book: 2}

11. Dont you see what this means

Clarke
I jog through the forest, anger, sadness and worry portraying through my features. I don't have to go far before i notice a tall, dark haired figure cockily walking amongst the trees.

I grunt and run up to him, pushing at his shoulder.

"Where is it?" I yell at him. He turns around and raises an eyebrow at me like he had done nothing.

"Where is what?" He annoying replies. I was so ready to punch his face but something inside of me knew he would give in.

"The radio!" I growl.

"I dont know what you're talking about" he shrugs and then starts to turn away but before he does i grab onto his bicep.

"Yes you do! They are getting ready to kill 300 people to preserve oxygen because they don't know we are alive, Bellamy!" I cry to him. Tears of anger and despair come to my eyes as i think of how disappointed my father would be.

Bellamy stands frozen in front me, contemplating on what to do next. He looks me in the eyes and i can see his eyes become glossy.

"Please" i mouth to him, desperate at this point.

"You wont find it, i threw it in the river." He mutters loud enough for me and Raven to hear. I let go of his arm and stare at him in disbelief.

"Why?" My voice cracks.

"I know why." Raven smirks while she walks over to beside me. I glance over at her and Bellamy rolls his eyes like looking away.

"He shot the chancellor." Raven amusingly scoffs. Bellamy shoots his gaze onto Ravens face and growls.

"I threw it away because i cant have them coming down and killing me too. They will float me for killing the chancellor." He grits his teeth as he turns and walks off in the direction he was going.

I can see Raven smile in the corner of my eye, as she leans up against a tree.

"Well you see, the chancellor isn't dead." She laughs and Bellamy freezes in his spot. He whips his head around and takes a threatening step closer to us.

"What do you mean." He sneers.

"You're a lousy shot." She added. I look at Bellamy and walk up to him, placing my hand on his arm.

"Don't you see what this means? You're not a murderer and you can help save those 300 people by taking us to the river." I convince him.

"Fine." He says while staring at me directly in the eyes. I give a small smile and let go of his forearm.

We arrive at the river and i shout to Raven to start looking. I dropped the bag of guns beside Bellamys feet and step into the freezing water.

I shiver but push on, the water making my pants stick to my legs. I step through piled rocks and mushy mud, scanning my eyes over the water.

I looked back over to Raven and saw she was kneeled down, running her hands over the surface of the water. I smiled and then turned my attention to Bellamy. He stood at the edge of the river while nervously tapping his fingers against his arm.

I was about to tell him to come help search for the radio but i felt a heavy object bang against my calf. I looked down assuming it was a loose rock but i gasped in excitement when i noticed the glistening metal in the sun.

I quickly squatted down and picked the radio up, watching the water drain from the insides.

"I found it!" I yelped and turned towards Raven and Bellamy. Raven ran over to me, the water splashing up behind her.

I handed it to her and watched as she pressed the buttons on the front. I saw Bellamys face frown at my discovery and I couldn't help but want to run over and comfort him.

"Can you fix it?" I asked Raven, shaking off my feeling. She sighed and continued to fiddle with the contraption.

"Yes, but it will take more time than we have." She pouted.

"Then we better get back to camp." I said while i still had hope. I stepped out of the river and towards Bellamy.

I picked the sack of guns up from beside him and motioned for Raven to follow.

-
We entered through the array of trees and i almost stopped at the progress the group had made while we were gone.

A few walls of timber stood tall while teens stood around, carving out more. I laughed, astonished and then walked through to the center of camp.

I waited as Raven and Bellamy stood beside me and then i dropped the bag of weapons in front of us. Gasps and whispers shot out through the crowd and i felt proud of the leadership me and Bellamy showed.

I went to speak when an all to familiar voice broke through the whispers.

"Raven?" Finns voice cracked.

"Finn!" Raven yelled as she ran into his arms. She pressed her lips to his and I couldn't help but feel a little hurt. Why would he flirt with me when he had Raven? What if things escalated before she arrived? At least i know now.
