Princess (Bellamy Blake)

Chapter 9

I walk to the graves and see Clarke standing over Wells' grave - grounders killed him last night.

I go and stand next to her and see that she's crying I pull her into my arms and hug her "he didn't get my father executed my mother did. I just wish there was something I could do to tell her I know. Make her feel what I'm..." Clarke says and by the look on her face she has an idea.

She then begins to walk off "where are you going" I call out to her "to make her feel it" she says and walks into the dropship so I follow her.

By the time I walk in the dropship I see Clarke rubbing her wrist and Monty looking at her wristband.

"Yes! I did it. It's still operational" Monty says examining the wristband and I give her an 'Are you serious' look

"What? Monty needed a working wristband" Clarke defends herself

"And you needed to punish your mother" I tell her

"Look, they're running out of air, and we need their help. My mother thinking I'm dead is only temporary" she tells me

"Not if I can't patch it through the dropship mainframe" Monty says and Clarke and I look at him with a panicked expression

"I can do it. We'll be talking to The Ark by nightfall" Monty says reassuring us.

"Clarke, Sophia get over here now" Octavia says in a panic as she walks in the dropship so we follow her to a tent and in front of us are Wells fingers and a knife from the dropship.

"This knife was made of metal from the dropship" I tell Jasper, Octavia, Bellamy and Clarke.

"What do you mean?" Jasper asks

"Who else knows about this?" I ask Octavia and Jasper because they were the ones who found it

"No one. We brought it straight here" Octavia tells me

"Sophie?" Bellamy asks

"It means the Grounders didn't kill Wells. It was one of us" I say

"So, there's a murderer in the camp?" Octavia says

"There's more than one murderer in this camp. This isn't news. We need to keep it quiet" Bellamy says

Clarke picks up the knife and looks at it then and angry expression comes on her face and she tries to walk out of the tent but Bellamy stops her

"Get out of my way, Bellamy" she says trying to shove past

"Clarke, be smart about this. Look at what we've achieved... the wall, the patrols. Like it or not, thinking the Grounders killed Wells is good for us" he says

"Oh, good for you, you mean. What... keep people afraid and they'll work for you? Is that it?" She says pissed

"Yeah. That's it. But it's good for all of us. Fear of the Grounders is building that wall. And besides, what are you gonna do... just walk out there and ask the killer to step forward? You don't even know whose knife that is." Bellamy says.

Clarke "J.M John Murphy, the people have a right to know" Clarke says and storms out of the tent and I go after hereto try and calm her down before something bad happens.

Clarke storms up to Murphy as he is arguing with another boy "you son of a bitch" Clarke says shoving Murphy and Murphy chuckles.

"Clarke" I say grabbing her wrist to pull her away "don't" she tells me and pulls her arm out of my grip.

"Recognise this" Clarke says and shoves the knife in Murphy's face "yeah that's my knife where'd you find it" Murphy asks reaching for the knife but Clarke moves it away so Murphy can't get it. I feel a presence next to me so I look and Bellamy is there staring at the two with his arms crossed looking unimpressed.
