Chapter 5

(Bellamy's POV)

Wow, I can't believe she thinks she has the right to just come here and everyone will suddenly accept her, I had to help kill my friends because of what she did, she was ruthless. I am still angry after walking away, though it is better to be angry away from everyone, I have to put up with her as well now apparently. I look down to see my knuckles turning white.

"Hey...", I turn to see Echo looking at me with a worried expression.

"I can't believe it! So what? She thinks I will accept her after what she did, whether she is still the commander or not she still did it!"

"Come on Bellamy you can't be serious."

With that I look at her in shock, "of course I'm serious she left us on that mountain to die."

"She left you on that mountain to save her people, she did the exact thing you would have done for your people. They were about to kill every single grounder in that mountain if she didn't, and that includes me, plus the countless others that would have been lost trying to get inside compared to 47 sky people. You don't have to agree with her but she did what she felt was right, which is what every good leader would do!"

"How is abandoning people that helped you 'whats right'?!"

"How is massacring countless people in their sleep 'whats right'?! People that were there to protect you Bellamy! You heard Clarke she could have killed every sky member for that but she didn't, she spared you and she lost her life for it!"

At that I have nothing left to say, although my head spins around when I hear her voice, "it's fine Echo, although if you have anything to say to me Bellamy speak now rather than hiding where you believe I cannot hear".

"You should have stayed dead Lexa, you should have payed for almost getting all of my friends killed."

As soon as those words leave my lips her head tilts and eyes darken, deep down I know that I am in the wrong but I can't admit it to myself. 

Lexa turns and smiles to Madi and Luca, "why don't you two and Echo join the others, I will be back soon."

Madi slowly nods, and eventually walks away, glaring at me as she walks away with Echo reluctantly following her.

(Switch to Lexa's POV)

I continue glaring at Bellamy for a few minutes, refusing to say anything, best to let him have this tantrum so we can all move on although what happened is not something I ever expected. Out of the corner of my eye I saw his hand quickly move and feel a sharp pain across the side of my face, I could have easily prevented his slap but I choose not to, better to let his true colours show.

"You aren't going to apologise?!"

"I do not have anything to apologise for Bellamy. Not to you or anyone else here. Do not try to hit me again, I let you have that one because you are not yourself but you will not get another chance."

"You are a monster! I had to kill my friends because you abandoned us, people I cared about and then what?! Clarke just stayed in Polis after you betrayed us, apparently because she 'loved' you, how did you have to manipulate her into that?!"

I can't help but growl at that, but still I force my anger down, refusing to give him the anger he so clearly wants.

"I saved my people Bellamy, I acted no differently than what you would have done, I sacrificed 47 sky people for hundreds of my people. I have no reason to apologise because I did nothing wrong, you can despise what I did on that mountain but you will get no apology from me, or anything that I did, it was in another lifetime, we all have a chance at peace here and you are wasting it on hatred."
