/Bellamy Blake/

Bellamy burst through the door of the hotel room, expecting to find Clarke Griffin, instead he found 2 nerdy looking guys and a brunette girl looking like deer in headlights.

Bellamy shook his head thinking to himself that the damn Collins douche must have given him the wrong room. "Sorry about that, I must have had the wro-" Bellamy trailed off, noticing the open window and backpack full of cash on the ground. He looked up at the tall, curly haired kid who was sweating like a pig, the short boy who couldn't seem to make eye contact with him and the pretty brunette who looked like she wanted to be anywhere else but there, and it occurred to him that he did in fact have the right room.

It also occurred to him that Clarke was gone and the window was open, and so he bolted out of the wide window frame the same way Clarke had less than a minute ago.

Bellamy didn't even know where he was going or if Clarke had already escaped him, but that certainly wasn't going to make him give up. He ran down the footpath and around the buildings for miles, dodging civilians and looking everywhere for her, and was about to give up until he found himself at one end of a long ally, with Clarke Griffin no more than 20 meters away from him, trying to find a way over the huge wire fence.

"Clarke Griffin, freeze!"

Clarke had already climbed the fence to the top and was about to jump to the other side, and Bellamy released he had no choice but to shoot. He pointed his gun at her and put his finger on the trigger, but as he went to pull it, he accidently looked into the eyes of the girl he was supposed to shoot, and didn't see a fugitive or a criminal, but a scared and broken girl who was trying to do the right thing. He saw her courage and loyalty and how much she cared, but mostly he saw the pain in her eyes. The pain of losing her dad, being betrayed by her mother, and the pain of losing everything she had worked for so the truth would come out.

And he couldn't do it.

Clarke jumped the fence, took one long look back at him with gratitude in her eyes, and sprinted out of the ally and out of reach from Bellamy.
