The Untold Truth

Bellamy snorted as he watched Clarke and Finn cross the camp, hand in hand. What did she see that spacewalker? As far as he could see he was just some dumb ass who somehow knew all the right things to say to her. That was his problem; he was so focused on trying to keep the people he cared about safe and putting on a strong front to the people who looked to him as a leader and also trying to keep a little healthy fear going in the camp, that he often threw aside others feeling and needs…any time danger presented its self all he could think was 'as long as their safe, I can deal with the consequences later…just as long as Octavia and a few…very few, others were safe.'

Clarke was on her way to the "art supply store" to see if she couldn't find any useful medical supplies for the camp, they were running dangerously low, when Finn comes bounding over and asks her where she was going. She smiled,

"Well, if you must know. I'm heading to 'you know where' to see if I can find some supplies, were almost out."

"Ohh, what kind of supplies?" he asked dumbly, he sure as hell knew where she was going, why else would she be about to wander into the woods alone?

"Medical." She said flatly and stepped in front of him so she could continue her way to exit the drop ship.

"Hey!" he called after her "You weren't planning on going out there alone, and unarmed I might add, were you? Because there are grounders out there, and its not safe…"

"I'm not unarmed," as she said this she lifted up the side of her top to reveal the hilt of a knife poking out. "And I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself, but hey, come along if you want."

"Hey, thanks for the invite, princess." He said winking at her and she gave him a slight smile in response. He hadn't called her princess in a while..it had sort of become Bellamy's nickname for her and it sounded very…unnatural, coming from him, but be that as it may, Finn had come up with it so what could she say? As they stepped out of the drop ship, her eye immediately locked with Bellamy. When he saw her she could have sworn she saw the corner of his mouth twitch, but Finn had placed a hand on her shoulder causing her to turn and look at him and when she looked back all she saw on his face was a scowl, so she quickly dismissed the silly thought. Bellamy tolerated her; he had never even looked at her without that stony power hungry, look he always wore around the 100, so why would he have any reason what so ever to smile at her in even the slightest? So with the 'smile' shed imagined pushed as far out of her mind as she could get it, she picked up the pace and followed Finn out of camp.

Clarke was such a strong person…strong willed, tough exterior, willing to do the hard things in order to survive…sometimes almost too strong to handle. Bellamy chuckled to himself at how alike they really were…that was probably one of the main contributing factors of why they never saw eye-to-eye on anything, be it deciding who would make up the hunting party that day or deciding the punishment of some idiot who broke one if his rules. She always wanted to protect others from harm, even when they fully deserved everything he was willing to give. But like Octavia constantly reminded him, He needed her, she balanced him out. And as much he absolutely hated to admit it, because sometimes, more often than not, Clarke made him crazy, but he did…she kept him from becoming a cruel and relentless dictator. His concentration was broken by his sister who came bouncing, practically skipping, over.

"Sup' broseph?" Octavia asked him excitedly as she plopped down next to him.

"Why so happy lil'sis?"

"Oh come on Bell, it's a good day!" At this he looked at her with amusement on his face…they were stuck on a radiation soaked planet...with mutated animals, grounders, and outright criminals surrounding them, so he was genuinely interested in what she meant by 'a good day'.

"How so?" Octavia looked at him and smile faded right into a frown because she could almost see the pessimistic things he was thinking scrolling across his forehead.

"Oh, stop being so negative!" As said this she gave him a good whack on the arm and continued, "Come on," she pulled him up and drug him along behind her, "look at everyone, their smiling, their laughing," she paused and look at a couple making out behind a tree, "their enjoying themselves," she said giggling and Bellamy even cracked a small smile.

"No deaths, no grounder attacks, no fights, no injuries…it's been a pretty good day I'd say…I mean giving our circumstances." Octavia finished. Bellamy had to admit; looking at what his sister had just told and shown him…it had been a good day. And for that, they needed to celebrate! Bellamy shouted to the people a and they quickly gathered around him,

"So, I don't know if you've noticed, but today was a fairly quiet day! No injuries! No fights! No animal attacks! AND NO FUCKING GROUNDERS!" They all cheered and a few screamed out some insulting comments toward the grounders.

"Now, I don't know about you. But I think this call's for a CELEBRATION!" They all went crazy, cheering at the top of their lungs and jumping around like idiots, and a lot of them had taken up chanting his name. After awhile Bellamy quieted them down a bit and then shouted over the noise for Monty and after a minute or so the dark haired boy sheepishly walked out of the crowd and cautiously approached the taller alpha male.

"So, Monty. Still got that bottle a 'moonshine?" u could actually see Monty relax when he saw that was all that Bellamy wanted from him.

"Heck yeah! Got it right here." More cheering as the shorter boy handed over the huge bottle. Bellamy was actually surprised at his outburst…not what you'd expect from a little tec. geek. And with that he took a long swig of liquor and screamed,

"LET'S PARTY!"

People ran off in every direction and a few of them started getting a beat going on some make shift drums they had and then everyone started dancing and Bellamy had to admit….for not having any real music or lights or well, anything. It was a pretty great party. Wherever the hell Clarke was with that jackass Finn, she was missing out big time. As if he hadn't just been think it, Octavia came up and asked

"Hey…where's Clarke? I thought she would have had said something about how irresponsible all of this is and how we need to be building our resources and figuring out a way to get to Mount Weather by now."

"Dammn. That was almost scary, you sounded just like her lil'sis. But to answer your question, she's not here. She took off earlier into the woods with that idiot Finn." When he said his name a scowl came to rest on his face, causing his sister to raise an eyebrow at him,

"Ooo, jealous are we?" She said playfully.

"Why would I be jealous Octavia? Clarke and go into the woods with whoever she wants…I just wish she would have chosen someone else."

"Oh, you mean like you?" Octavia pushed

"No. I just meant someone…who was less of a dick head then Finn. I'm glad u didn't get involved with him like you'd planned."

"Geez, thanks bro. Way to rub that in my face." Bellamy just shrugged and gave her a playful smile, glad to be off the subject of Clarke and Finn.

"Well anyway I'm gonna go see if I can't find those too…their missing an awesome party. Great call by the way…I think we all needed this."

"You're not going into the woods by yourself Octavia...and u don't even know where she is." Bellamy called after his sister who was already on her way to the woods.

"Then come with me, because regardless if you go or not I am. Plus I have an idea of where she might be." Octavia called over her shoulder.

Knowing he didn't have a choice, Bellamy followed his sister into the woods to find Clarke.
