Time To Go Back

Nightlight: Bellamy

(i'm adding Bellamy's pov because i have things to do.)

I sat up a little to see who all was asleep. Curse my insomnia.

Gabriel and Hope were definitely asleep, but I couldn't see Clarke.

"Clarke?" I whispered.

"Can't sleep either?" Clarke responded.

"I don't think I'll be able to sleep until I know O is okay." Clarke rolled over to face me, propping her face on her arm.

"She's strong, Bellamy. She's gonna be okay." Clarke almost seemed like she was trying to convince herself of the same thing.

"You really think so?"

"Of course." I sat up facing the fire.

"Yeah, I'm not gonna try to sleep." I laughed a little before noticing Clarke had already drifted to sleep. I watched her face for a moment, her eyes fluttering.

She's so intense, yet so carefree. I blinked and looked out towards the fire. Just like the fire.

*snap* I heard something coming from deeper inside the cave. I grabbed one of the extra sticks and put the end in the fire. I brought it over to Clarke and sat, keeping watch over everyone else.

Maybe outside would have been better.  At some point I managed to drift off, before I knew it, it was morning. Everyone else was still asleep, besides Clarke.

"Hey."

"Hey," she responded. She got up and sat next to me.

"Are we letting them sleep?" She asked. "For now, but if they aren't up in an hour, It's a free for all."

Clarke looked at me confused. "I picked up some slang from the people here, lol." Clarke began laughing, I joined in. The laughing stopped and we were left in silence, looking at each other. I turned away,

"So, did you hear anything weird last night?"

"Besides you snoring, nothing." I snore?

"Why? Did you hear something?" Clarke asked.

"It was probably nothing, probably a dream." Clarke nodded and looked over to see Gabriel waking up.
