The insider//BellamyBlake fanfic

Bravery Trumps Stupidity.

A few days had passed, and Venus had been learning a lot about her fellow camp mates and space. She preferred the idea of space that she had created in her mind to the harsh reality. She had been leaving her notes for Lincoln as planned however they were always rather brief as it had been quite uneventful. She had been spending most of her time with the Blake siblings, listening to embarrassing stories from their childhoods and bonding with Octavia over the pleasure that they both gained from mocking Bellamy. She promised Bellamy that she would accompany him, Atom and a few others on a hunt later, however before that she had decided to visit TonDC and have a discussion with Anya.

Venus arrived home and was greeted by Stellan, grinning emphatically. "You're back! Are you staying? Please tell me you're staying." He said as he met her with open arms. She gave him a small embrace followed by a giggle.

"Unfortunately not." She said. Venus was saddened by the look of disappointment on her best friend's face. "Don't worry though, we can catch up as soon as my mission is done for good." She said trying to cheer him up.

"There won't be much to catch up on. Everything's been quite dull without you wreaking havoc." He said with a playful nudge.

"I wouldn't expect anything else." She said with a giggle. Her face then hardened when she remembered why she had returned. "I need to find Anya. Any idea where she is?" She asked seriously. Stellan pointed her in the direction of the large wooden hut where all of their leaders met. Venus made her way over, attracting some confused stares due to her unusual appearance. She entered the hut and found Anya, Danson and some of the other war chiefs sitting around a large table made from sticks and held together by green vines. "I would like to speak to Anya in private." She demanded trying to exhume as much confidence as possible. With a nod of approval from Anya, the rest exited the hut.

"What's this about?" Anya snapped, clearly unimpressed that she was back and had interrupted their meeting. "Why couldn't you have just wrote it in your note?"

Venus brushed off Anya's questions and began to recite the short speech that she had prepared on her journey. "I don't think that we should attack or harm anymore of the sky people. Their just children and they mean no harm. It's the adults, the ones who are still in space that are the bad guys here and I think that if we just..." Anya raised her hand in order to silence Venus and she willingly obeyed.

"Venus, you told us that these are criminals, you told us that they wanted their people to return to the ground so that they could defend themselves against us." Venus was about to protest but Anya fired her a warning glare. "You said that you were trying to disable their contact with the rest of their people but what if you fail? Or what if their people take the risk and return to the ground anyway?" Anya said calmly, she spoke to Venus like she was an idiot.

"But Anya, Ive got rid of the majority of the wristbands and I'm pretty close to Bellamy. I could get him to maybe negotiate peace." She began to say however Anya's stare intensified.

"So that's why our most fierce and ruthless warrior wants peace, because of a boy." Venus was offended by the accusation. She didn't care about Bellamy. Did she? "And besides, do you really think that once they found out that you are a spy they would ever trust you, or any of us again?" Anya spat. Venus just hung her head in shame, it was foolish of her to think that peace was possible. She shook her head. "Now go back and complete your mission." She ordered and Venus reluctantly did as she was told.

Venus returned back to camp and saw Bellamy and a group of boys waiting for her at the newly built gate. "Hey, I made this for you. I didn't know if you already had one." Bellamy said as he offered her a small knife made from drop ship metal. He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly as he waited for her to accept.
