Persphyni : I am Darkness

Of course. Of course! Because why would Finn and Clarke keep a close eye on someone being hunted down to kill?

I had managed to track Charlotte as she ran, how I knew she'd run? Well it isn't very difficult when the girl runs passed you on the opposite side of a lake. It had gotten darker now, fog even spilling in through the trees making the perfect scene for tonight.

"Fake! What are yo-" I didn't get to finished questioning Bellamy as he sprinted passed the tree we were waiting behind and grabbed Charlotte.

"Vlákas." I joined him as he let Charlotte go. The overwhelming urge to slap him upside the head at the fact he just manhandled the shaken up girl.

"Charlotte!" Great. Murphy's here. "You can't hide forever!" I looked in the direction of his voice, small glimpses of yellow and orange flame moving towards us signaled he was actually on the right path.

"We need to go. Now." Bellamy nodded and went to grab Charlotte but she didn't let him.

"Don't worry! We won't hurt you!" Another voice called, the sounds of running footsteps following. That's it. I grabbed Charlotte and started dragging her, Bellamy following close behind.

"You have a real problem, Tiny." I growled as she tried to tug away from me, my grip only getting tighter.

"Let me go!" She slapped me in the arm trying to get me to loosen my grip. Just as she went to hit me again, I grabbed her other arm and faced her.

"We're trying to help you." Bellamy explained coming to stand on my left as I continued to hold the girl immobile.

"I'm not your sister!" Charlotte yelled towards Bellamy. "Just stop helping me!" She went to tug away but I only gripped harder and turned to walk. When Charlotte kicked the back of my knee sending me towards the ground and letting her go in surprise.

"I'm over here!" Charlotte cried running away. I heard Bellamy follow with slight hesitation as I stood up and turned around. Dusting my hands off and forcing my anger down.

"Are you trying to get us all killed?" Bellamy grabbed Charlotte making her turn around.

"Just, just go, okay? I'm the one they want." I was taking my time walking over to them. Hoping that some caring brotherly inspirational words would come from Bellamy's mouth.

"Listen, I will not leave you." Bellamy glanced over his shoulder at me and I nodded to confirm his quiet question. "We will not leave you."

"Please, Bellamy. Atlys." She sounded desperate. But when Bellamy refused to let her collar go, she forcibly pushed him off and tried to run away. Not getting very far as Bellamy has already caught up to her and lugged him over his shoulder.

"Murphy! I'm over here!" I groaned as Charlotte called out to Murphy.

"Come on out, Charlotte! Come on out." He was close, too close.

"Bellamy, I have an idea. And before you say "not the best idea," hear me out."

_______•*•*•*•______

"Charlotte! Come on!" I yelled being extra loud as I ran through the woods. Making sure to leave a large noticeable path.

"Can't protect the girl by yourself, Songbird!" Murphy jeered.

"Shut up, Murphy!" I could hear his laugh echo through the forest as I led him.

"Charlotte! Stop struggling!!" I groaned, being quieter as I talked to the girl. Which was really just my jacket and Bellamy's swung over my shoulder, making it seem like I had a body on my shoulder.
