Back when they were on the Ark,
the first time Bellamy had ever laid eyes on the Fox, was when Octavia was eight.
Octavia had awoken from a nightmare and Bellamy had hushed her back to sleep with a story. As soon as his little sister was fast asleep under the floorboards, he'd headed back to his own bed.
He was half asleep when he heard her voice. "I liked your story," she'd whispered.
Bellamy jumped awake, thinking at first that Octavia was awake again. But that proved not to be the case when he turned on the light and saw her eyes through the slits in the vent.
He got closer, he could only make out her face. "Who are you?"
She stayed quiet, not answering his question. She was quiet for a long time before pushing a very small toy through the vent. "For Octavia," she whispered before disappearing.
Bellamy had been baffled by the experience. And when, a few weeks later, he began hearing rumors of a few small thefts on board the Ark, he somehow knew it was her. And yet, even though he probably should have, he never came forward about her.
Over the years, as her infamy as a master thief grew, along with her skill, he would often find small gifts left on his bed from her. They were always for Octavia- treats or small toys. He always knew they were from her, but he never questioned it.
The next time Bellamy saw her, his mother had just been floated and Octavia imprisoned in the Sky Box. It was late, and he was in his room tearing himself apart for it.
He didn't know when he realised she was there, but eventually he looked over to the vent and saw those brown eyes of hers.
"You can help her!" He said suddenly. "You can free Octavia!"
She stared at him long and hard. She was such a quiet one, almost never speaking. Bellamy had always wondered about that.
Finally she spoke, "you know I can't. Theres no where to take her."
He knew that already. But he was angry. "Then get out of here if you won't help!" His voice was harsh and mean.
The Fox slipped away quickly, leaving him alone.
The last time Bellamy saw her before they were sent to earth was a few months before she was caught.
He hadn't seen or heard from her since Octavia's imprisonment. She had stopped all contact with him even. Which had been strange at first, because he'd gotten used to seeing her gifts on his bed over the years. But he got used to it.
Bellamy had just returned home from his shift, it was late and he was tired. He walked into his bathroom to take a quick shower when he saw her.
She was soaking in a bath in his tub. He stared in shock at her. He'd never seen her outside of the vents before. He didn't think anyone had.
She opened her eyes and looked him over. "You should join me," she had said.
Bellamy didn't know what compelled him to do it, but he stripped off his clothes and got in. They moved around a bit until she was seated with her back against his chest.
The water was warm enough for him to realise she'd probably only finished drawing it as he was walking through his door. Somehow knowing she'd planned this didn't bother him.
After a few minutes she turned around so she was staring into his eyes. "I've always known I could fall in love with you, Bellamy Blake." He wanted to kiss her then but she stopped him. The Fox leaned in so she could whisper in his ear.
"Love only destroys. This is the last you'll ever see of me." And with those words, she stood up out of the water. He watched her, not sure how to react as she dried off and slipped on her clothes.
He didn't understand her and he truly knew nothing when it came to her. He wished he knew.
[[A/N: I'll be revealing her real name soon. Let me know what you think about the story. Thanks!]]
