red robin ♔ BELLAMY BLAKE ♔ #1 in Series

eleven ♔ the fallen soldiers

Juniper was just sitting in her tent, looking at the dark camp. It was rather peaceful when the delinquents were sleeping and the fire was flickering. She could not get the thought of what Bellamy said out of her head and the fact that three hundred people were going to die because she was too late to stopping Bellamy, if only she went with him.

Juniper quickly gasped when she saw someone holding up the door of her tent with a torch-

it was Bellamy.

"You're up?" Bellamy said as Clarke lay sleeping beside Juniper. Juniper looked at Clarke before she got out of the tent.

"I just can't shake the feeling that three hundred innocent people are going to die tonight on the Ark. It makes it pretty difficult to sleep." Juniper replied catty as Bellamy help up a torch for light. He looked pretty worried.

"Raven's flares will work." Bellamy reassured but Juniper just shrugged her shoulders.

"Her radio would've worked better." Juniper admitted and Bellamy just sighed as he became more tense. 

"Have you seen Octavia?" Bellamy asked and Juniper began to worry. Octavia was a bit of a free-spirit after being stuck in isolation for so long. But she would not wander away from camp without telling Bellamy. Unless, they got into an argument, because when they did it was like fire fighting with fire.

"No. It's Octavia. She's probably chasing butterflies or hiding in the dropship." Juniper smiled it off to reassure Bellamy, but he kept his tense stance.

"Juni, I've checked the camp. She's not here." Bellamy stated and Juniper nodded her head as she grabbed her make shift knife and stuck it in her pocket.

"Ok. I'll help you find her. Let's check again. You go to the dropship. I'll check the rest of the tents." Juniper set out a plan and they began to walk. 

"Thank you." Bellamy smiled and Juniper just nodded her head before she started going through all the tents. It was no use, Octavia was nowhere to be seen. Juniper ran to the middle of camp, where Bellamy was rounding people up

"Hey, everybody, gather around and grab a weapon. My sister's been out there alone for twelve hours. Arm up. We're not coming back without her." Bellamy instructed and Juniper saw Jasper getting ready to leave. He had not done that since he was last attacked.

"Hey, Jasper, you don't have to do this. You haven't left camp since we brought you back." Juniper explained and Jasper shook his head. Jasper wanted to protect Octavia and it turns out he would stop at nothing to protect her.

"Juniper, I need to do this." Jasper reassured before he walked off. Juniper nodded her head before she went over to the weapons area, she had knife but she wanted a bow and arrow. 

"Look up there. It's so beautiful." One of the hundred shouted and everybody looked up at the sky. It was speckled with shooting stars falling from space. Juniper's stomach clenched, that was a funeral for three hundred people. 

"They didn't work. They didn't see the flares." Juniper whispered and Bellamy came up from behind. 

"A meteor shower tells you that?" Bellamy asked and Clarke shook her head.

"It's not a meteor shower, it's a funeral. Hundreds of bodies being returned to the earth from the ark. This is what it looks like from the other side." Clarke explained and Juniper looked up at Bellamy. He was too busy concentrating on Octavia to give a reaction, but on the inside he was feeling it. 

"This is all because of you!" Raven shouted as she marched over to Bellamy. Juniper moved out of the way for Raven.

"I helped you find the radio." Bellamy argued and Raven got closer to him. The tension was radiating off of them.
