Chapter 6

Bellamy´s POV

He was hoping his plan was going to work. It felt like hours as he waited until Clarke fell asleep.

He attempted to move in his bed. Clarke didn´t stir. That was a good sign.

He took a deep breath and slowly turned onto his back taking in the surroundings inside the tent. The moon stood high in the sky so Bellamy could see almost everything in the tent illuminated by the moonlight. Which was good ...

His eyes moved around until they stopped on a small table near the entrance of the tent. That was exactly what he had been looking for. He knew by now that Clarke kept the most of her medical supplies there.

Throwing a quick glance over his shoulder to make sure Clarke hasn´t woken up, Bellamy shifted the most of his weight onto his right and still functioning leg and quietly crawled out of the bed.

Slowly he made his way to the small table. Different bottles filled with liquids were standing there, as well as small scissors and some gauze. Quickly he discovered a drawer attached to the table. As he opened it, he finally found what he needed.

A few moments later Bellamy had a syringe in his hand - filled with a tranquilizer and ready to use. He couldn´t believe he had managed to do that but he did - to everyone else he maybe didn´t seem really aware of his surroundings, just laying in his bed with his gaze fixed upon a certain spot, but secretly he was a good observer. So once or twice he actually got to see how Clarke would prepare a shot.

After observing the small syringe for a moment, the boy slowly turned around making his way towards the exit of the tent. Due to his physical condition he was forced to literally crawl on all fours. But even if it must have looked ridiculous, he was going to get over with his plan. Nobody was in his way, nobody was throwing at him some irrational excuses or explanations, nobody was keeping him practically chained up in his bed. This was his chance. Now or never.

Bellamy stopped at the exit, inches apart from where he knew a guard was standing outside the tent. He carefully pulled back the curtains. The guard - a young darkhaired boy - stood with his back turned to Bellamy.

It was really easy - the poor guy didn´t even realize what hit him before his world turned black due to Bellamy´s tranquilizer.

Finally Bellamy managed to find a secret escape out of the camp and into the forest - apparantly there had been an explosion inside the camp just days ago. He had heard people talking about it and knew that it was being repaired right now. Repaired but not finished yet - so he gave it a try and actually managed to sneak out through one of the remaining holes of the huge fence that was meant to protect the camp from whatever or whoever was outside in the woods. Bellamy knew it must be dangerous to wander here around - especially at night. But what else was he supposed to do? He had to find out what was going on. He felt like he was a clueless and helpless invalid. He felt like being useless. Maybe if he knew just anything, he would help in some way too.

The moonlight was illuminating every corner, every tree and every hole that would be on Bellamy´s way. It was beautiful, stunningly beautiful. Bellamy couldn´t help but stare in owe at a bunch of butterflies floating gracefully past him. They were shining - really shining with bright blue. This nature - the forest and its creatures, even the air was something new to him - Bellamy had some vague memories, more like feelings or instincts, about his past ... still no clear pictures though. But the pictures right before him were not something he knew even existed.

Lost in his thoughts he never noticed a figure quietly creeping behind him. It was seconds later that he heard a -

"What do you think you are doing?"

The stern female voice made him freeze in his tracks. He quickly turned around.

"Wha-?"

There was a girl standing there. Her dark long hair was unruly from the sleeping and even in the semi-darkness Bellamy could see angry daggers shooting off her eyes. Raven. He had seen her once or twice now.

Oh come on. Can´t a guy just take a walk?, he thought bitterly. He didn´t say anything to her, clenching his jaw and turning away instead.

"Oh nonono", huffed Raven behind him. In the next moment he felt a gentle but firm grip on his right forearm and was already being turned around, face to face with the fuming girl.

"Let´s make a deal, Romeo. You gonna get back to the camp and into the bed right now or I´m gonna wake up Clarke and tell her about your little walk around the wonderland. Let´s see how she´ll react about your nocturnal adventures!"

Bellamy frowned. His little walk around the wonderland? Really? Who was this girl to give him orders or make deals with him anyway? He was still strong, he could just knock her out and get away. She wouldn´t even have time to scream for someone at all.

"Really?", he challenged smirking slightly. "Make me"

She was smirking as well now. And Bellamy liked it somehow. This girl wasn´t afraid. She was stubborn and up to challenge as well. And she also didn´t look at him the way most of the people back at the camp did ... she didn´t look at him like he was broken, helpless and needed care and an extra portion of pity.

"Ooh don´t you ever underestimate me", she said grinning like a cheshire cat. And with that she slowly begann to stride towards him, tasting his reaction.

But she didn´t come very far. Instead, she shriecked. Bellamy winced and turned to look where her gaze was fixed upon something. There was something at the forest floor, and it looked like it was producing some sort of pink smoke. What the hell was going on now?

After several seconds Raven went to her knees. She was coughing violently. Bellamy was beginning to panic. As fast as he could he crossed the distance between him and Raven and tried to pull her away from the smoke. But the smoke was spreading pretty quickly blocking his eyesight and also beginning to fill his airways. He couldn´t breathe. He couldn´t breathe.

He couldn´t breathe ...

So as you see, there is Raven in this story as well. Someone gave me an idea (thanks btw :)), so Raven´ll be going to play a certain part of the story too.
