red robin ♔ BELLAMY BLAKE ♔ #1 in Series

nineteen ♔ the most unkindest arrow to the gut of all

"Any idea what happened?" Juniper asked as she walked up to Bellamy to see the ruins. Bellamy and Juniper had not spoken to one another since last night. It was now mid-afternoon and the entire meat furnace had gone up in flames. Juniper was here to see if anything was savable whilst Clarke tried to see if there was any wounded before she joined Bellamy and Juniper.

"Murphy says that Del kept feeding the fire, mostly because Octavia told him it was a bad idea." Bellamy answered, crouched down, as he kept his focus on the left-over meat furnace. All the camps food was gone. 

"And we believe Murphy?" Clarke asked and Bellamy looked up at her, not even looking at Juniper.

"I do." Bellamy answered truthfully.

"We have some wild onions and nuts in the dropship. It's only enough to last us maybe one or two weeks. What's left here?" Clarke asked changing the subject. 

"Nothing. It all burned." Bellamy answered as Juniper slipped her hands into the front pockets of her cargo trousers.

"Then we have to hunt. Anyone we can spare goes out." Juniper gave the idea and Bellamy stood up looking at her.

"With the whole Grounder army out there?" Bellamy asked patronizingly and Clarke jumped to Juniper's defense. 

"Look. We can't defend ourselves if we're starving." Clarke stated and Juniper looked at her smiling. Bellamy sighed, he knew that he had lost against the girls.

"Each group takes someone with a gun, and they're for killing Grounders, not food." Bellamy shouted to the group in the dropship as the people could be spared made a hunting party. Every body was going into groups or getting guns and spears. "We don't have the ammo. Use the spears for hunting. Get what you can. Be back by nightfall. No one stays out after dark." Bellamy instructed before he jumped off the box he was standing on. He began to walk away before Juniper ran up to him with the spear she was holding.

"Bellamy." Juniper called and Bellamy frowned as he saw her holding a spear.

"You are going out hunting? You just got an arrow to the gut." Bellamy sighed and Juniper nodded her head as she looked at her spear.

"Yeah, we all know that I've got one of the best spear throwing accuracy." Juniper answered as Bellamy placed his hands on his hips. "But, I need to tell you something." Juniper exhaled and Bellamy raised an eyebrow. "I want us." Juniper admitted. "I want us to stop fighting and move on. I want us to be together." Juniper finished before sighing with relief, she had finally done it.

"You don't ask for much." Bellamy chuckled to himself, he was extremely happy with what Juniper had just said, it was all he wanted. But, he was still mad at her. He needed her to know that. Both Juniper and Bellamy were stubborn.

"Come on Bell, think about it. I'm sorry for what I said earlier, but icing me out is doing nobody any favors." Juniper pleaded as she stood in front of Bellamy, so he had to stay. 

"Like you did to me?" Bellamy asked with an eyebrow raised. Juniper sighed as she looked away.

"That was different." Juniper whispered. Bellamy's actions resulted in Juniper being arrested and her mother being floated. But at the same time, Bellamy's actions ended with her on Earth with Juniper and Bellamy together. "Look, just think about us. I mean I would like a 'yes' just now, but I know you are stubborn." Juniper laughed before she saw that her hunting party was leaving.

"Be safe out there." Bellamy smiled and Juniper touched her necklace as she grinned.

"See you when I get back." Juniper left with her hunting party. Bellamy watched her, he was so conflicted over what he was going to.
