" I still can't believe you almost killed the chancellor for me Bell," said a now calmed Octavia. When she heard what her brother had done she was devastated. The Bell she knew would never try to murder anyone. He might be an ass but he certainely wasn't a murderer.
"I did it for you, so I could—,"
" Protect me, yeah I know, but promise me, you'll never attempt anything like this ever again. I might be your little sister, but I can definetly take care of myself now." said Octavia with a serious expression.
"Mom raised us to be better, unlike the chancellor and his council." Said Octavia while she stood to leave. " And you should definetly have Clarke stitch that," said Octavia while pointing at a cut on his side of the forehead that he got from his fight with Wells earlier.
" I dont need her to check this out, I can take care of myself O," said Bellamy stubbornely. Octavia rolled her eyes at him and promised to have Clarke check him whether he like it or not.

" Hey Clarke, after you're through with him, would it be okay to check my brother too
?" said Octavia with pleading eyes at both Clarke and Wells. Clarke had made her promise, once they reached back at camp, she treated Wells eye so as to prevent any infections.
Clarke turned to Wells waiting fo his approval, after what happened earlier, she didn't want to jeopardize her friendship again even though she wanted to run to him and see if he's okay. Why do I care so much about him?" She thought to herself.
"Its okay Clarke, you don't need my approval to go treat him," Wells read her thoughts.
Clarke blushed and smiled. She took her first aid kit and off she went with Octavia.

Octavia found Bellamy at the same spot that she left him. He seemed to be deep in thoughts. " Hey big brother, look who I brought," said Octavia excitedly. Bellamy always wondered how she could be this cheerful after everything that had happened to her. She lived most of her life confined in a single room or under the floor because she was an illegal child, then her mother was floated for having her. " And don't say no to her, Wells hit you pretty hard and you need medical attention," said Octavia and with that she took off.
Clarke stood there, staring at him awkwardly. Now that she's thinking of it, she's never really been alone with him. For some reasons, she didn't know how to act. " Are you just going to stand there all night, princess?" said Bellamy with a blank face.
" I need to clean your wound and stitch it up," said a nervous Clarke.
" I'm not going to hurt you, if that's what you're thinking,"
" I know," said Clarke which made Bellamy stare at her in disbelief.
"I know what you're thinking, that you're a murderer but you're not. Clearly, whatever you did was for your sister, your family. I'd do anything for my mother too."
"So you're not scared of me?" asked Bellamy still shocked at what Clarke said. Here she is, trying to reassure him that he's not a bad person and all he did all along was act like she was the monster just because she was a priviledged kid back on the ark. Looking at her now, he realizes how wrong he was. This girl right here was selfless, kind and clearly she cared about the kids unlike him who only cared about himself and his sister.
"Thank you," was all Bellamy could say.
"You don't have to thank me Bellamy, but you really need to speak to Wells, he's hurt and angry at you. Jaha might be the chancellor to you but to Wells, he was his whole world and despite everything he did, he did it with the intention of saving us all from extinction."
Bellamy nodded, signalling to Clarke that he understood and was going to apologize to Wells. They were on the ground now and his sister was safe with him, he might as well start anew without any guilt burdening his conscious.
