Second Chance//Bellamy Blake

-10-

Violet was wallowing in guilt, her stomach turning and her breathing was uneasy. Though there was nothing she could do now. She let her emotions get the best of her and now she would have to live with that, she thought to herself.

Octavia was clearly in pain so Violet quit spiralling, ran over and knelt next to her. The poor girl has a huge deep cut across her leg.

"Shit, we should probably clean it. I'll go get some water." She said standing up, turning around and walking into Bellamy by accident.

"Thanks, I'm gonna move her to the logs closer to the dropship." Bellamy said deeply as he gently caught her. "Murphy, Atom, you're with me." He ordered.

She rolled her eyes as she walked away, annoyed with Bellamy for telling her to take her wristband off. She soaked in her frustration as she retrieved the water and a rag.

While walking over to the siblings she grew less frustrated with him and more frustrated with herself. How could she be so stupid, how could she condemn so many innocent people to their death? She knew life on the Ark was about survival and that if it came to the survival of the human race, population reduction was always the answer her father gave to the problem. She cut off her thoughts as she gave Bellamy the water and rag. He began to clean off his sister's leg and she groaned in pain.

"What the hell was it?" Bellamy asked referring to what attacked her.

"I don't know. The others said it looked like a giant snake." She replied.

"You could have been killed." Bellamy muttered the obvious.

"She would have been if Jasper didn't jump in to pull her out." Clarke stated approaching the group with Wells trailing behind.

"You guys leaving? I'm coming too." Octavia said trying to stand up but struggling.

"No, no. No way. Not again." Bellamy ordered making her sit back down.

Octavia rolled her eyes at the response and looked to Clarke for support.

"He's right. Your legs just gonna slow us down." Clarke stated.

There was a brief pause before Clarke turned her body directly to Bellamy.

"I'm here for you." She said in a sort of intimidating tone.

Murphy and Violet shared a confused look. Bellamy's facial expression showed that Clarke was not fazing him. Wells on the other hand had many concerns as to what Clarke was doing.

"Clarke, what are you doing?" He asked.

"I hear you have a gun." Clarke said locking eyes with Bellamy.

He pulled up his shirt revealing the gun tucked into his pants.

"Good. Follow me." Clarke ordered.

"And why would I do that?" Bellamy asked still unbothered by her forward attitude.

"Because you want them to follow you, and right now, they're thinking only one of us is scared." She threatened.

They gave each other a brief stare-down before Bellamy began putting on his jacket and Clarke walked away getting a head start on finding Jasper.

"Murphy, Violet you're with me." He said adjusting his jacket. "Atom? My sister doesn't leave this camp. Is that clear?" He commanded, Atom nodded.

"I don't need a babysitter." Octavia claimed pissed off at Bellamy.

"Anybody touches her, they answer to me. Let's go." He ordered walking ahead as Murphy and Violet followed close behind.

"Well this should be fun!" Violet remarked sarcastically while speeding up to land next to Bellamy on the path.
