I was walking through the woods thinking about my dream, or my nightmare. It was so vivid, so real. It really scared me. Why did it scare me so much? Was it because they threatened my friends? Clarke, Wills, Murphy, Jasper, Monty, and Octavia? What would I do without them? Or was it because they threatened and "killed" Bellamy. That was the most horrific event in my entire life. Watching his lifeless body hit the floor. It scared me so much. Even though Bellamy annoys me a lot, I don't think life would be the same without him.
What was it about Bellamy Blake that made me jumpy? That made me feel the way I feel around him? Was Octavia right? Did he really like little old me?
I was walking through the forest alone, lost in my thoughts, when an ax landed in the tree ahead of me. It was so close to my head, that had I taken another step forward, I would have run into it. I turned to see where the ax came from. Bellamy stood a few feet away, his chest heaving. A look of guilt ran through his eyes.
"Damn it Amara!" He hissed, stalking over towards me, "I almost killed you." I don't know what came over me. Maybe it was the fact that I saw him standing in front of me, alive and well. Maybe it was because I just needed to touch him, to make sure my head wasn't playing tricks on me. But I rushed forward and threw my arms around him, burying my face in the crook of his neck. His arms wrapped around me, he never questioned why I was hugging him. We just stood there for a while, hugging each other. I had to stand on my tip toes in order to properly hug him.
I heard someone clear their throat. Quickly letting go of Bellamy, I turned to see Atom standing a little way's off. Bellamy then turned to me and asked, "Why aren't you back at camp?" A whole bunch of emotions ran through me, hitting me like a ton of bricks. I felt scared, I felt shy, I felt lonely, I felt tired, and I felt like I was about to cry. Bellamy must have seen the look in my eyes because he didn't push the question like he usually does. We then heard a branch snap and quickly turned to see a little girl standing by a tree.
"Who the hell are you?" Bellamy asked, I turned to him and scolded him, "Bellamy! Really? Don't scare her." Turning back to her, I smiled, "I'm Amara, what's your name?" She looked at me with wide eyes. "I'm Charlotte," She answered. "It's nice to meet you Charlotte." She slowly walked towards me.
"Why are you out here alone?" I asked her. She shrugged her shoulders, "Well, what with that guy who was dying, I just- I couldn't listen anymore. And I saw you going into the woods, so I decided to follow." Atom then spoke up, "There's Grounders out here. It's too dangerous for a little girl." That made Charlotte a little upset. "I'm not little," She snapped. I looked over at Bellamy and Atom. He smirked then said, "Okay then. But you can't hunt without a weapon." My eyes widened as Bellamy pulled a knife out of his pocket. "Bellamy!" I hissed. He just looked at me as he handed the young girl the knife. "Ever killed something before?" Charlotte shook her head as she held the knife. Bellamy continued, "Who knows. Maybe you're good at it."
All the emotions I was feeling before washed away. Now I was just mad. Who on earth would give a little girl a knife, then ask her to kill something.. oh wait... Bellamy would. I went to step over to him to chew him out. But couldn't due to the fact that a giant cloud of yellowish dust coming towards us. "Run!" I yelled. I turned on my heel, grabbed Charlotte by the hand and took off running, not caring that my body hurt, not caring that my lungs burned.
I felt a hand wrap around my fee hand. Then I hear Bellamy cry out, "Come on, there are caves this way." He then pulled me off the course I was going. I squeezed his hand, then turned to see if Charlotte was okay. She looked scared. Her small hand tightened around mine. I heard someone fall down, but didn't stop running, I had to keep Charlotte safe, I needed to get her away from this cloud. We started to run up a hill, I yanked my hand out of Bellamy's then pushed Charlotte ahead of me. He seemed to know what I was thinking and grabbed the younger girl's hand. He pulled her up the hill with me at their heels. Rushing around a big rock, he pushed Charlotte ahead of him, then grabbed me. Putting his hand on my back, he pushed me forward and into the cave.
I guided Charlotte to the back of the cave. I turned around to see Bellamy run out. "Bellamy!" I shrieked. He quickly entered the cave again, coughing and heaving. I rushed over to him and moved his arm from in front of his face. I inspected him. Grabbing his face in my hands, I asked, "Are you okay?" He shook his head, "Atom is still out there." I pulled him into a hug, he seemed shaken up. "We can't get him. All we can do is hope he found shelter. I'm sure he'll be fine," I said softly.
I heard a small cry come from Charlotte, letting go of Bellamy with one arm, I turned to her, and brought her into our hug. She snuggled in between Bellamy and me. We wrapped our arms around her back, shielding her. We stayed like that for a while. "It's going to be okay," I said softly. But everything was not okay. My lungs felt like they were going to explode. My body finally felt weak. I started to cough a lot. "Amara?" I heard Charlotte whimper. I felt my legs crumple underneath me. Bellamy caught me in his arms. "Amara!" He cried, his voice shaking.
He sank down to his knees while still holding me. Charlotte crouched down next to him. I was still coughing. My lungs burned. I felt so weak. I wanted to close my eyes. I felt Bellamy shift his weight, he somehow sat down, while holding me in his lap against him. I reached my arm out to Charlotte who looked just as scared as I was. She moved close to me and Bellamy, leaning on him while holding my hand. I closed my eyes, that was all I remembered.
Buzzing was all I heard. Ugh. It was waking me up from my sleep. I shook my head. Moaning. "Make it stop," I croaked. The buzzing didn't stop. So I rolled over onto my stomach and slapped the air until my fingers hit the solid object. Something puffy and soft was wrapped around me. I heard a moan next to me, before I felt someone kiss my shoulder.
"Good morning, love." I giggled, before rolling over to meet the lips that had kissed my shoulder. After receiving a sweet kiss and replied, "Good morning." I kissed him again, smiling against his lips. He laughed too. "Ew," I heard a young voice say, "Mommy and daddy are gross." I heard a small giggle, and a baby cooing. I broke free from the sweet lips and turned to see Charlotte holding a young seven month old baby. A young four year old boy stood next to her. I smiled before reaching my arms out to the young baby. "Hey there! How's my baby boy?" I asked. Where did that come from? My body seemed to move on it's own. The baby gave me a giant grin, two baby teeth growing on the bottom gums.
"Hey there little man," I heard someone say from next to me. The young four year old ran up to the bed. I turned my head to see him reach a hand down. He then swung the young boy into the bed. The boy let out a giggle. Charlotte rushed forward and jumped on the bed too, making us bounce a little.
I watched as he leaned over and kissed the baby on the head. The baby smiled and reached for his face. "Is that daddy?" I asked. Smiling at him. The baby cooed with giving us a big smile.
"Mommy," I turned to the four year old, "What's for breakfast?" His big brown eyes staring at me. "Yeah mommy, what's for breakfast?" I looked over at him and smiled, giving him a kiss, I rolled out of the bed while still holding the baby. "How about pancakes?" I asked. "Yay!" Both Charlotte and the boy cried.
I turned to walk out of the bedroom, but before I walked out, I turned around and said, "Charlotte please get ready for school. Bellamy, can you help Riley get dressed? He still tries to put his shirt on backwards."
"Of course love," Bellamy said, he then put the young boy, Riley, on his back. Galloping like a horse past me and down the hall. Charlotte then climbed off our bed and rushed past me, "I'll get ready as long as I can stir the pancake mix!"
I laughed, then turned to walk down the stairs. What was going on? Was that really Bellamy? Was that really Charlotte? Were these two little boys really our kids? I looked at the pictures hanging on the walls. One was of me holding a small infant baby. I pointed a finger at the picture as I held the baby and said, "Look! That's baby Jake!" The baby smiled a wide smile. I walked down some more stairs and saw another picture of Bellamy with Riley on his back. The next picture was of me and Charlotte, we were dressed up nice and standing in front of a piano. "And that's when sissy played the piano in a big recital," I said to Jake.
I then went back to inspecting more photos. There was a photo of all of us together. We were sitting on the grass with Bellamy at the back, leaning on his left side. I was in front of him, leaning on my right side. Charlotte was sitting behind me, leaning on my side. Riley was sitting in front of me, leaning on my stomach and baby Jake, who looked younger in the picture was sitting in Riley's lap.
The next picture was of Bellamy holding a different baby. I was guessing that was Riley. Bellamy had tears in his eyes as he stared down at the baby in his arms.
There was another picture of Bellamy and I standing in front of a courthouse, with Charlotte standing in front of us holding up a signed document. We adopted Charlotte.
The last picture was of me, in a beautiful white gown. Bellamy was in a black tux. We were both sitting in the grass, I was leaning on him. In the picture I was staring at our entwined hands. He was staring at me. I held flowers in my right hand, and a beautiful ring seemed to sparkle in the sunlight.
Once I was downstairs, I pulled a bottle out of the refrigerator and heated it up. I then put Jake in a high chair. I then pulled all the ingredients out of the pantry and fridge, getting them all set up. I heard a bunch of thumping, then turned to see Charlotte bound into the room. She smiled, glad that I had waited for her.
"Mom, can I crack the eggs?" She asked me excited. I smiled at her and replied, "Yes, but be very careful. We don't want any of the shell getting into the mix." I watched as she cracked the egg and put it into the mixing bowl. A giggling Ryan ran into the room followed by Bellamy, who was dressed and ready for work. I smiled and said, "Good, now I can get dressed. Plus it's your job flipping the pancakes." Bellamy laughed then said, "That's only my job because mommy keeps messing them up." I playfully frowned as Charlotte and Riley laughed. "I'll be back in a minute," I said walking past Bellamy. I felt something hit my butt, I quickly turned around and cried, "Bellamy Blake!" The kids started to burst into laughter. Bellamy let out a laugh himself before scurrying over to Charlotte and the stove. I rolled my eyes, then left the room.
Once I was dressed I walked down the stairs once more. I stopped in the doorway and just watched my family. Bellamy was showing the kids how to flip the pancakes. Riley was sitting on the bar stool and leaning on the counter. Charlotte stood next to Bellamy, awed at the fact that he could flip the pancakes without breaking them. Jake just drank his bottle. I walked forward, but stopped when I heard whimpering. I looked over at Jake, he was as happy as could be. It wasn't him. I looked over at Riley who was licking the pancake mix off of his finger. Not him. Charlotte was now in between Bellamy and the stove, she held the pan with his hands over hers. He helped her flip the pancake. Not her, so who was it.
I heard more and more whimpering, then someone shout out no. Then I heard "Charlotte wake up." What on earth? Charlotte was awake. I then heard, "I'm sorry."
What was going on. I started to feel really cold. "Does it happen often?"
I heard someone sigh, the a voice ask, "What are you scared of?"
I reached forward to touch the counter, but what was supposed to be smooth felt rough under my fingertips. I looked around the room, it started to become darker. I watched as Jake, Riley, Charlotte, and Bellamy slowly faded away. I didn't want them to fade away. I liked them, I loved them. I didn't want that life to disappear. I tried to reach out and grab them. But they were gone. I could hear faint wind. I could hear breathing. I opened my eyes. I was in a cave. I was laying on my side. That's when I knew. That family, was a dream. The cave was reality. Reality sucked.
Ahhhh! So let me know what you guys think! Please also let me know if you want more of Bellara's dream family! :D Also, don't forget to review and let me know if you're going to participate in the "Cover Challenge". Thanks a mil all you guys! :D See you next time.
