Chapter 10 Being A Leader Comes At A Price
Bellamy's POV
"So what are you going to do then let her get floated O is her kid as much as your, you should at least be floated with her." I looked at him, he seemed generally hurt for what I had to say. "What and abandoned you and Octavia" I looked at him wide eyed he had the nerve to speak her name. "She is in jail and she will barely get any visiting time so I don't think that she is going to need you. As for me I don't want you coming near me they are going to kill her and you are standing here doing what. Sticking your thumb up your ass." My voice started to rise and council members were looking at us confused. "I think that we should include this young man with the charged." I looked to see that the other council members were talking and I seemed to be drawn in the conversation. "No why?" My father's voice seems frantic at the thought of me being floated as well. "He had to know." I glared at them as I sighed and looked at him, "He's my son please you can't just kill him." I looked at them and they all widen their eyes in shock and I looked at them folding my arms. "He will be stipped of his officer status but we will let him live." I look at Jaha he calls that doing me a favor yeah right now I was as good as dead and I was any family and nothing to liv for what the hell was left for me."
My heart was pounding and I could hear it in my ears, I looked up to see a girl looking at me impatiently. Her hair looks dry and dusty kinda like it was missing giant chunk it almost looked like someone froze it out and cut off large chunks while she was sleeping. Her lips were moving but I don't hear anything. "What?" She look at me exasperated "Did you come from the sky do you know Jasper." Then it clicked Clarke told me about some girl that Jasper wouldn't stop talking about what a her name. "Maya?" I look at her and she nodded her head "How about you get me down from here Maya." There was a commotion and some guy walked in and Maya told him that I was dead and when he started to take me now. I punched him in the face and went for his gun but he pulled it first. I charged him and pushed him up against one of the cage as I started to punch him. He aimed his gun a me but I cut him with a scalpel forcing him to drop his gun. Maya leveled it to his face and he started to grab at me while I choked him out, but Echo grabbed his arm and I chose to choke him until he passed out.I nodded my head at her "Thanks" She nodded her head back and I walked over to Maya. Before turning back and taking his clothes off and dropping him down the trash shoot. She told me to lift up my sleeve so that she could take the tracker out. "So how did you know my name." I look at her and smiled thinking back on the memory.
"She is annoying Bell I am telling she was the worst, she made them think that I was crazy and then she had the nerve to talk shit about me to Miller. I was so close to decking her in the face." I laughed at her and smiled as we laid together in my bed. "Yeah and what was so annoying about her." She growled and straddled me causing my hip to buck a little bit. "She had Jasper wrapped around her little finger and her hair god what I could say about that girl's hair, she look like she is dying of some terminal disease. I know that sounds terrible but fuck this bitch she was trying to bleed us dry like the grounders." I smiled and she place her hands on my chest to keep from falling forward. "Im sure that she wasn't that bad." She scoffed at me and glare at me "She was annoying she was so smug and arrogant like she knew everything and that I was the one in the wrong. But I had a feeling that there wasn't something quite right and I was right. They are killing people to elongate their life. Putting them in cages and bleeding them dry there monsters Bell." I nodded my head and just let her blow off steam and prattle on about this Maya girl."
I looked up from my arm and looked at her "My girlfriend Clarke" A guilty look appeared on her face as she placed a bandage on my arm and told me to hold it down. "so she made it out of here okay?" I glare at her and sighed before nodding my head I couldn't be visited at this girl she did just save me life. "No, she came back covered in cuts and bruises she had to jump to get to safety but she only ended up drowning . Your people tracked her like a wild animal, until she made it safe to our camp." She nodded her head and lead me through tunnels till we got to this elevator and got in. "I'm sorry I didn't think that they were going to do anything to you guys. The plan was to asslmenlate you in the gene pool." I laughed at her "So what you were just going to force us to have kids with you people so that your future generations would be immune." She nodded her head and i gagged at the thought. I sighed and looked at the number moving in the elevator. "So can I ask how did you and Clark meet." I looked at her and then at the numbers "Now why would you want to know that." She looked at me shyly and then at the rising numbers. "It's just that... I'm just not good with silence." I sighed and nodded my head "When the drop ship landed I went to open the door and she tried to boss me around saying that we shouldn't open the door, I told her that if we didn't open the door we would die anyway.I of course didn't listen to her and opened the door. After that day all we did was but heads till Jasper went missing. Then things changed between us in a great way. I have never seen someone who is more fierce and loving then Clarke. She is everything a person should be. Caring, strong willed, a healer with a warrior spirits is what I used to call her. She always puts her people before herself, hell she tried to make peace with a girl that tried to kill her on three separate occasion. She is just that kind of person she doesn't ask for permission only for forgiveness. She is my rebel princess and I will do anything to keep her safe. But if I had to choose between bleeding people dry to save her. Or live in this mountain until we both die then we die in the you who have a few screws loose"
I looked at her and a twinge of pain was displayed on her face "It's more complicated than that if we don't do this then we die." I looked at her and the doors started to open and we walked out, "Then you die" I walked out and started walking towards the dorms when the doors closed and I laid eyes on Jasper. "I don't know what is happening but I won't be able to get you though." I looked at her "alright take me to the radio" I watched her nod her head and we walked down an empty corridor and into some storage room. I sighed and looked at her and she pulled back the painting exposing the radio. I grabbed it and click the button. "Calling alpha station" I looked at Maya and a voice came through. "Bell is that you are you safe don't scare me like that again."I smiled "Hey princess" I could hear her smiling from here "Sorry it took so long there was a little complication but Maya help me out." I could hear her getting irritated from over here "What are you doing with her she is the enemy." I sighed "Babe don't be that way she saved my life" I waited for a response "So how is it going" I shook my head sadly at Maya before going back "We need a plan that doesn't kill everyone there are kids here Clarke and you need to hurry our friends are already starting to go missing." She sighed heavily and nodded her head "I'll work on it and Bell thanks" I smiled to myself "All I did was not get killed" She laughed "Then keep doing that." "Is that Bellamy can I talk to him." I cringed at the sound of his voice why didn't he have something better to do. "Bell?" I sigh heavily "Hey dad" I knew he couldn't tell I was irritated because of the walkies but Maya shift uncomfortably in the background. "You okay" I sighed before clicking the button "Yeah dad I am fine what is the alliance going. Hows O" "She is great things are going well" I sighed thankfully and looked at Maya. "Alright well I have to go I going to try and figure out what is going on. Bye" I said it dryly before covering the hole back up and walking down the hallway.
Maya looked at me and I sighed "What?" I look at her and she sighed heavily and walked walked out of the room. "The first thing that we need to do and figure out what is going on." I watched her nod her head and we kept moving. I saw a bunch of guards walking past me and one of them grabbed me by the arm and pulled me in the direction of the other guards. "Sorry Maya I have to steal your boyfriend for a little bit." I gagged at the thought then I felt a sense of cold dread if Clarke was here she would slay me. I shook the comment off and put on raiding gear what was going on here. We stood in front of the dorm room doors and look around once they were opened I was facing the 100. Or what is it 47 kids, they were linked up trying to keep one of them from being stolen. I look at Happer she looked terrible and they had taken some kids I didn't know the name of. I sighed and ran over when I saw jasper going after the guard. I pushed him up against the wall. "What are you trying to do get yourself killed." I look at him am he smiled at me "Bellamy" I shook my head and handed him a gun. "The next time that they come in here you need to fight harder than that." I watched him nod his head and I punched him a few times before letting him drop to the ground and I walked out. I walked back into the storage room and looked at Maya she sighed and looked at me. "What the hell they're taking them." "Stay here I will figure out what is going on." I nodded my head and look at the radio thinking about calling Clarke or Raven to talk to but that didn't seem like a good idea. So instead I twiddle my thumbs until she came back. '
She walked over to me her expression grim "They are taking their bone marrow to make themselves immune." I growled and looked at her I could feel my blood boiling at time like this Clarke calms me down but I couldn't calm down not this time. "Bell you there" I turned back at the sound of Octavia voice. I wake over removing the paint and grabbing the walkies before clicking on the button. "Bell they are bleeding our friend we are to late." I hear the desperation and fear in her voice "It's worse than that O they are drilling for bone marrow they already took Harper and Monty. Jasper got them back then they locked them in the dorms and are taking a kid every three hours they are killing them." I heard her suck in some breath and I sighed "Dad is worried about you and Bell so am I. " I growled into the walkie talkie making sure she knew that I was pisted. "That man doesn't dictate my action I am heading to the armory to get them guns. To let them fight and you need to be focused there'd. Love you" I didn't wait for her to respond I turned off the walkies and walked out outward towards the armory with Maya.
Maya looked back at me every once in awhile and I was starting to get tired of it "Why don't you just ask the question that you have been waiting to ask since we found the walkie." I look at her my expression cold and i was sure that was going to discourage her from speaking but it only made her want to talk more. "Well it is just that none of the the others have a sibling yet you do how come?" I hated to think about it the way that people looked at me disgusted whenever I said that O was my sister and that I love her. It was like they forgot that we were human just because we were siblings. "On the arc you aren't allowed to have more than one child. In the event that someone does have a child and they aren't allowed to there are charges brought against them. But the only thing worse than having a child is having two of them. It's illegal and can get both the child and the more her killed. My mother was killed for having a second child, I lost my rank in the military and Octavia my little sister was locked up for being born. The people on the arc are cruel and heartless but that doesn't change the fact that your people can't lock them up in cages and drain them of their bone marrow. I heard something and then something on the radio and looked at Maya they had one of my friend. "Its this way" I nodded my head and we started to run.
I had made it to the medical room just in time to see Fox running away from the guards. I lifted my gun and she stopped running and the guys said there thanks but I shot them in the head and took off the mask. I smiled and she ran into my arms"Bellamy" I nodded my head and rubbed soothing circles into her back. "Sorry I'm late to the party." I looked at Maya and she looked at me and dragged us down a dark hallway and into a pod not knocking. A man got off the couch and look at the three of us and sighed. She nodded her head an he sighed "One night" She smiled and walked away. I sighed and looked at him and sat down on the couch and he looked at me causality. "Your got a family kid." I look at him what was with these people asking me personal questions. "Yeah" I looked at him and he looked at me confused on why I did not continued to talk. "I got a littler sister she is 17, my mother was killed for having a second child and my father allowed it so I don't really speak to him but he is here on the ground too. Then there is Clarke my girlfriend and Raven she a friend but she feels more like a sister." I look at him and he looked even more confuse "On the arc it is illegal to have more than one child." He nodded his head and sat down "Your father couldn't do anything about that though." I laughed harshly "My father yeah if you could call him that is named Marcus Kane, my name is Bellamy Blake that alone speaks volumes about our relationship. My mother lived on one of the poorest stations on the arc and he live on the richest. He was the second most powerful man on the arc and while he live the good life we lived in degradation until my mother was killed and my sister was thrown in jail for being born. Like that was her choice, anyway he could have gotten pardons for the both of them but chose not to." He looked thoughtfully and I sighed "What about you, you seem like you have military training." I sighed sadly and though about the days were I walked the halls of the arc a gun on my belt and a uniform that held some meaning "I was stripped of my rank and have to become a janitor. They tried to kill me but my father begged for my life right before they murder my mother." I look at him and he sighed and nodded his head "Please rest I am sure that you have big plans tomorrow." I nodded my head a drifted off to sleep on this strangers couch after telling him my life story what was wrong with me.
