Chapter 18.
Beth's POV
I walk around the exodus ship crash cite. Everything and everyone was burned. No one was left. Not Abby. Not my father. I haven't talked to anyone since last night. I have been crying. I haven't talked to my father since before I left the Ark. The last words I said to him was that he was killing us all by sending us down here. And now he's dead.
I go to look at some weird liquid dropping from something when Raven yells. "Beth! Stop!" I stop and watch her rush over. "What is it? Rocket fuel?"
"Hydrazine Highly unstable in its non-solid form. If this stuff meets fire, we're all pink mist." Raven says and then throws something. "Fire in the hole!" She yells and there was an explosion. "We need to clear the area." She says to Bellamy.
"Ok, then. We move in formation, no straggling, weapons hot." Bellamy says. "We got to get back before dark." I walk at the back of the line, looking around.
We get back to camp when a kid rushes up to us, telling us Murphy was here. My eyes widen. Bellamy and I rush to the dropship. I see Murphy curled up in a corner.
"Where is he?" Bellamy asks before seeing him. He was angry. "Everyone one out except Derek and Conner. Now!" Bellamy yells and they all leave. I don't, I stay right where I was standing.
"He claims he was with the grounders." Derek says. "We caught him trying to sneak back into camp."
"I wasn't sneaking. I was running from the grounders." Murphy says as I lean against a wall, crossing my arms over my chest.
"Anyone see grounders?" Bellamy asks the two boys.
"Uh-uh." Conner replies.
"Well in that case..." Bellamy holds his gun up to Murphy but Finn steps in the way before he can shoot. I didn't even realize he walked in.
"Hey, what the hell is wrong with you?" Finn asks Bellamy.
"We were clear about what happened if he came back." Bellamy says. He's right, I don't trust Murphy. He's never given me a reason to.
"No. If he was with the grounders, then he knows things that can help us." Finn tells Bellamy. Damn it. He's right. I haven't seen Lincoln since the other night.
"Help us? We hanged him." Bellamy says. "We banished him, and now we're gonna kill him." Bellamy continues.
Clarke was now in the way. "Get the hell out of my way." Bellamy says to Finn, who was once again in the way. I understood why though, Finn wants peace, so do I.
"No, Finn is right." Clarke says.
"Like hell, he is." Bellamy says. "Clarke think of Charlotte." He tells her.
"I am thinking of her, but what happened to Charlotte was as much of our fault as it was his." Clarke tells Bellamy. She goes over and looks at Murphy. "He's not lying. His fingernails were torn off. They tortured him." Clarke tells us, showing us his hand.
"You and the grounders should compare notes." Finn says causing me to slightly cringe. I hate when anyone brought up Bellamy torturing Lincoln.
"The grounder's know we're at war." Bellamy says. "What all did you tell them about us?" Bellamy asks him.
"Everything." He answers. I look at him wide eyed then look at Finn, the two of us share a look.
"Once he's better, we find out what he knows, and then he's out of here. Okay?" Clarke says to Bellamy.
"And what if he doesn't leave?" I ask her, speaking for the first time.
She looks at me and says. "Then we kill him." I nod and watch as she leaves.
Later on Octavia and I were in our tent. I was showing her the book Lincoln gave me.
"Wanna learn some grounder talk?" I ask her.
She smiles and nods. "Okay so I'm just gonna start with simple words." She nods again. "Um, sister is just sis. Please is Beja. I love you is ai hod yu in." I sigh thinking of more words or small phrases Lincoln had taught me.
Bellamy suddenly comes in. I throw the book under my pillow.
"Jeez, you scared us." Octavia says.
"How are you feeling? Both of you?" He asks us. Octavia and I share a confused look.
"We're fine." I answer. "Get out." I tell him.
"Have either of you touched Murphy?" He asks us. I shake my head no and look at O. She was there when they brought him in.
"I don't know. I guess so why?" She asks him.
"The grounders sent him here with a virus to infect us." Bellamy says and looks at my pillow then me. "Derek just died from it, another mark for your boyfriends book." I look at him wide eyed.
"Come on. Clarke needs to examine you both." Bellamy says and leaves.
Octavia, Bellamy, Clarke and I were all standing by the ladder. She already examined O. "Okay. We're done." She says. I nod. "No visible signs of swelling or bleeding."
"So you're saying they don't have it?" Bellamy asks about Octavia and I.
"I'm saying they don't have the symptoms, but that can change." Clarke tells him. "We need to keep them here just in case." Clarke says. I look around at the sick people.
"No way. Look at this place. They'll get sick by just being here." Bellamy says.
"Look. I'll keep them on the third level with the others who haven't showed symptoms yet." Clarke tells him. "Think of it as a way to keep Beth from sneaking out again."
I look at her. "Screw you. Clarke." I say to her.
"I'll let you know if either of their conditions change." Clarke says and Bellamy nods and leaves.
Octavia and I were about to go up the ladder when Clarke stops us. "Beth. Wait." I look at her. "I need you to sneak out again." I nod.
Okay so this is a shorter chapter. I think. But uh, what do you guys think? Beth and Bellamy are slowly becoming more like siblings. He knows she's O's best friend so. O and Beth will have more scenes come season 2, I'm trying to put more in when I can. Right now though I think I only published up until Day Trip, so they don't have a lot of scenes together but that will change soon. Um, I do want to tell you guys that I write up four chapters a head. So like right now you guys have Chapter 15, I published that right before I just finished this one. So I am like four chapters ahead from what you guys are already reading. If any of that made sense. Anyways please comment. Also, I'm gonna start putting the dates on when I finish these chapters so
Date Finished: July 22, 1016. Thanks for reading. Bye.
-Kelly.
