Chapter 4 Close Call

Bellamy POV

Everything ached and it felt like my teeth had rattled when I hit the ground I heard something snap I tried it wiggled my toes but I was in such great pain that I could even move. I sighed heavily but my breath as stuck in my throat the pain was so great I couldn't even breath it was a good thing that I didn't need air. I could feel my eyes sliding close when I felt a soft hand reaching for mine. It was warming and comforting but the bones in my hand ached so it still hurt. I open my eyes to see Octavia worried her big green eyes filled with sorrow. It broke my heart to see her like that as long as she was happy I didn't mind begin in this pitiful state. "I'm fine I just need to walk it off." She laugh at me and a small smile formed on her face she looked up and I sighed and closed my eyes , the last thing I heard was O calling for someone that was holding my hand I thought that was her. I felt my head dipp and I passed out.

"Come on Bell if you can't form one lousy fire ball you're going to be made fun of." I growled under my breath and looked back on the memory when my aunt was trying to teach me how to use my fire. I growled at the memory, I passed out and this is what I have to look out till I come to. That sucks, she smiled wide as I sat on the ground and pouted. "Shut up Aunt Ashley what do you know you can barely use your lighting." She glared at me her smiling leaving her face, I sighed and watched the memory."Ash leave him be he is 3, ain't that right buddy" My dad walked out from behind my aunt and I watched myself get us and form a fireball in my hand, I always hated it when she trained me so I made it seem like I wasn't able to do anything. He smield wide at me and I walked over to him and I watched as Gray Wind lifted me off of the ground walked me the rest of the way there. This blinding light hit my eyes and I wasn't in the memory, I was laying in one infirmary bed. I tried to rise but I felt this dull ache in my body it was really bugging me but I was trying to look past it but it wasn't really working. I managed to propel myself up. I looked around and O was talking to someone that was standing by the door of my room.I sighed what the hell was going on the last thing that I remember was lying in the streets of the city there was no way that she lifted me up and brought me here by herself. I struggled to get out of bed but I manage to after a minute or two. I could feel my body healing so I don't sweat it, I stood up and walked over to the door. For a moment I didn't say saying I just stood there and watched as the person of the other side of the door widen, he looked like a soldier from the barracks probably coming to ask me what happened. "I don't know what the hell that was all I know is that you need to check our database and see if that waals mount weather missiles that were lunch at us." The soldier nodded his head before he walked off to wherever and O turn around to look at me wide eye. "I'm fine like I said I would be you need to trust me more O." She sighed and looked at me this dreamy expression on her face. "What?" She looked at me and shook her head no sdadly. Then a large smile grew on her face "Nothing we should head to the military base dad is talking to the generals and i know you want to go. Clarke is there right now getting the rundown on what is going on. She didn't want leave your side but I told her that there was nothing she could do here anyway. So Ash dragged her off to the meeting with her."

I smiled to myself she really as something else, I felt this dull ache in my chest but ignored it I doubt that it was anything that I should be worried about. I looked at O her eyes glimmering and tears near the rim I felt bad she must had been so worried about me but it should have been the other way around. I sighed heavily and that dull ache came back to my chest did it hurt to breath? I pushed it out of my thoughts and looked at her. "O shall we go to this meeting" She gave me this confused look and laughed at me. "You never know when to quit do you" I shooked my head and wrapped a arm around her shoulder and walked out of the hospital and off towards the base it was only a few minutes to the military base. The sky seems to be more vibrant than it had been before maybe it was a phosphorus fragments in the bomb or was it something else. "You okay they said you had some head trauma and that you need to take a break. Dad started to laugh when they told him that he said that you would never take it easy you're a Blake." I smiled to myself and looked ahead there was someone sitting in the grass they had these worrie line on their face even though the rest of them looked at peace. As we got closer I noticed that it was Wells then that makes perfect sense, he wasn't allowed to set foot in the military base I am sure that my dad made that clear to him. I didn't see Eric so he must have been with Clarke in the briefing room. "Hey mini Jaha what is your damage" As I walked over to him I crouch down it wasn't really a question it was more like an insult. He sighed heavily and made eye contact with me there was something in his eyes that confused me. It looked like envy maybe admiration I really couldn't tell. He only sighed more and returned to looking at the sky, "It's peaceful here I didn't think that after we have been through, that there would be any piece on this killer planet." I shook my head sadly and looked at O then the military base. The meeting was most likely over by now so there was no rush to get in there and talk to my father. "The planet isn't the problem Wells it is the people on it that make it dangerous. The grounders never saw you before that isn't there fault they herd you were heading for mount weather and freaked out. In case you didn't know mount weather goes into their village and takes people and drains them of their blood. When they heard that you were aiming for it they got nervous they were worried you'd bring them down here. You can understand the fear of someone coming into your home and destroying everything you know. All because they don't understand how the world really works."

His face darkened at my words but there was this smile at the corners of his lips trying to form. "That's a clever way of saying you are used to killing people Wells look at Clarke's father you got him killed. The only reason that let her mother live was because she tried to stop him." I sighed heavily that wasn't what I was trying to say at all, it was almost like this kid was finding reasons to hate himself. That wasn't my intention I don't hate the kid sure I don't like him either but still. "Look kid that wasn't what I was trying to say but it seems that no matter what I do makes you feel worse so I am just going to leave you to your thoughts. The only person that hate you is my father and Clarke take it up with them kid." I began to walk away but stopped when I felt a small hand on my wrist. I looked up to see Octavia this sad look on her face and her lashes wet and thick form the tears she was probably shedding when I was sleeping off my fight in the infirmary. "Bell this isn't right you have to talk to dad he is making this kid feel like everyone on this planet hates him." I sighed heavily and looked at Wells he couldn't understand what we were saying we weren't speaking english. Our people adopted an ancient form of latin a year or two after the bombs dropped. I sighed heavily and that ache came back in full force, I ignored it but the pain was getting more intense I don't know how long I could ignore it for. "Fine I'll talk to dad but I am making it clear that it is his little princess that asked me to." She smiled wider and nodded her head before running off towards the military base. Leaving me to fall behind and followed her at my own pace. I guess she forgot that I had just been blown up or something. I shook my head sadly and I felt this throbbing behind my right eye. I stopped and place my hand on my head before I started to fall back words. "This is why you shouldn't be out of bed." I felt a hand on my small of my back keeping me in a upright position and keeping me from falling. I looked over to see Clark this sweet smile on her face and my mother to my right holding up my right arm. She had that same smile she had when dad put me on the ship, a happy to see you and can't wait till you get home smile.

I smile back at her before looking at Clarke, "I will be fine I don't need sleep, that is for people who can't afford it right now I got to talk to dad. Is he still in the military base?" My mother looked at me this worried look flashed across her face for a second before the warm welcoming smile came back. "Yes baby he is but Bell I don't think that you should interrupt him you know how he get when it comes to stuff like this." I rolled my eyes at her and she put her hands on her hip and looked at me.I sighed heavily and walked off towards the large black building in the middle, there weren't that many windows in case of attack the enemy wouldn't get any easy shots off. Just because our cells divided at such a fast rate that we don't age doesn't mean it doesn't hurt like holy hell. With enough damage our healing process can be slowed for a while. I walked into the building and down the dark winding hallways but it never changed not in all that time. I reached the door where the war council room was and I hesitated my hand hovering over the knob there was no knowing how my father would react to me interrupting his meeting he could brush it off and ignore me and continue to talk or he could flip. His mood ain't that great whenever there is an attack on our compound. I sniffed the air and I didn't smell anything burning so that was a good sign, I put my hand on the golden knob and turn to the right and push the door open. As I walked into the room I saw his 6 generals talking about plans and strategies, my father looked up at me this small smile playing on his lips. But he was in king mode the only time he smiled was when he was being smug and condescending. He looked up at his generals then at me, "Sir" He smiled and looked at me all of them did, some of them had looks of approval while other gave me arrogant looks. Their pride to huge to say thanks for not letting our city blow up that would have take weeks to rebuild. "Yes Bellamy is there something that you need.I didn't know that they were realising you. They told me that you would have to stay over night." I look at him and then at the generals they all seemed interested in my answer. "I decided to check myself out,if I need rest I can get it in my own bed at home once this is all done with. Did you figure out is the missile came from mount weather or another military base." He looked at me and then sighed heavily, his shoulders did not sag they stay back. To proud to show weakness or weariness if only for a moment.

He wave his hand at me signaling for me to come closer and join them, he laugh at something that the holographic map showed. "This missile did come from mount weather but they didn't launch it. They know that wouldn't work we have been fighting with them for years, the missile was set off by a third party. You might know the third party it was Jaha. It seems that he heard something about us still being alive on this planet I am sure that they told him using that radio you guys but before the grounders attack. I think he thinks that we took his son hostage and was going to blow up our city as a sign of force. I am thinking about getting in touch but I don't know if it was worth it." I looked at him for a moment and everything told me that he was serious they were trying to blow us up with someone else missile."I am sure that now mount weather is terrified that we are going to attack them and preparing to send someone out here on their behalf I doubt i am going to want them in my compound but there is no point in killing them." I sighed and looked at him. "I could head back to camp and talk to Jaha while you deal with the mount weather thing." He shook his no sadly and looked at his generals "I will call Jaha from here I am hacking into his ship as we speak and then I will deal with the mount weather guy, I am sure that he should be here by nightfall." I nodded my head and he dismissed his general, I went to walk out to when the computer turned to life and Jaha was on the screen he stared at me wide eyed and then at my father. "I knew he was your son I knew it the minute i threw his sister in jail and executed your sister." I felt a twinge of guilt in my chest here I was getting to be home and my aunt is up there somewhere still floating among the stars waiting to be brought back down here on earth. She wasn't a Ragnok by blood she married into the family, and a long term exposure to the radiation turned her into one of us. But since there was a different kind of radiation from the stars she lost her powers and died. "Yes well we anit holding your son hostage you asshole so stop attacking us. He came here along with Clarke and some kid named Eric they want to know about mount weather. The nut jobs that tried to kidnap them early so why don't you chill and FYI if sending me off into space didn't work what makes you think that a missile would?"

It wa a pretty good question that I don't mind the answer to considering I was the only one that got blown up by it. He looked at my father shocked and then at me and sighed heavily like something was weighing heavily on his chest. "I apologize I hope that when I get to earth with my people that we can all make this up. Start a new in a sense." My father laugh like really laughed not a mocking laugh. But a real one he never did that when he was in the middle of talking to a enemy. "Yeah that won't happen. The 100 can stay here with me until you land then they can go back to their drop ship and spend the rest of their lives under your thumb. You and your people are not forgiven, but I am not going to have those kids be subject to be lab rats for those nutjobs. I will retrieve them in the morning until then fuck off." He hit the enter button and the screen flashed off, "Sir" He looked up at me and sighed. "Bellamy is it fine you can stand down now what do you really want to talk about." I laughed at him and nodded my head "I didn't want to talk about anything, I wanted to talk to you because O asked me to. She wanted you to be nicer to Wells she feels bad for the kid but she wanted me to be the one that said something. She knows how much it sucks paying for the sins and mistakes of her father she doesn't want that kid to suffer the same thing." He looked at him this glint in his eyes and this smirk on his face that I didn't really clapped the back of my shoulder with his hand and looked around and nodded his head solemnly. "Fine I will play nice wit the kid but only because your sister asked me to. Now come they are throwing a feast in your honor and we can't be late.
