Survivors

Chapter 21- A Setup

Clarke Griffen:

I wake to the bright light that pours in through the door of the drop-ship. I squint and cover my eyes with a blanket that was laid over my body, to protect me from the monstrous cold wind. For several seconds, I lay there, until I can't breath and need air. I peek my head out of the fuzzy barrier, seeing Jasper, Monty, Nicole, Finn and Charlotte asleep on the ground. They must have been watching me last night.

"Good morning, Princess." I hear from deep in the shadows. Bellamy slowly walks over to me, heavy footsteps echoing through the drop-ship, yet not waking a single soul.

"Good morning." I manage to say, giving a reassuring grin. In return, he smiles. Not the smirk that he usually smirks. A real smile. He sits on the side of the table and brushes my hair back. Heat rushes where he just touched my neck.

"How do you feel?"

"Like crap." he chuckles, but I'm serious. The pain in my lower back, quivers up my spine when I breath and there are cuts and bruises all over my body. An ear piercing scream, snaps Bellamy and I into attention. He jerks up and runs to the door.

"I'll be right back." he says before he runs out before I can argue.

Bellamy Blake:

People scram around camp, yelling and gossiping about the scream. I run up to a group huddled around a fire.

"Who screamed? What happened? Is anyone hurt?" I ask demandingly. I suddenly realize that I have pinned a poor boy to the wall of the drop-ship. I let him go, his eyes full of fear.

"We have no idea!" Everyone backs away slowly, ready to run before I can catch.

"WHOEVER SCREAMED...WHOEVER WAS HURT...WE HAVE TO FIND THEM NOW!" I yell with such force that everyone leaves and makes search parties the second I finish. I probably don't know the person who screamed, but we can't afford to lose anyone else and if there is another issue we have to face, it's better to be prepared. Rage, anger, bitterness, hurt and longing fills my heart.

"Bell, everything's gonna be okay." I turn around and see Octavia, standing in the middle of camp.
