How do you all like the relationship between Staros and Echo?! He seems so nice...As long as she's not with Bellamy, right? Clarke and Bellamy are going to find out that six years is a lot.
This Monday I'll finally be able to watch the Bellarke reunion on Netflix! I'm so exited...As long as it's not Monday, I'll be writing. Hope you enjoy! ;)
... ... ...
Camp was empty, his friends were gone, just like all of their stuff. Bellamy wasn't sure what to think of this...He decided to go to Clarke's village, to tell her where Madi was and to warn her for Octavia's plans.
After a long walk, he finally was able to get some rest again...Luckily he found the whole team at Clarke's village. They were all so happy to see him, after six years they were as close as a family. Clarke ran towards Bellamy, glancing in every direction. He noticed and anxiously looked back at her, that look on his face said enough. Tears roled over her cheeks when she turned and walked back to the house.
"Clarke!" Bellamy ran after her, but she didn't respond and ran further away, behind a cabin, where she bursted out crying.
Like nothing happened the others all went to welcome or hug Bellamy, talking and asking him things. Clarke wiped her tears and watched them from a distance. She had prepared the table, filled with all kinds of delicious fruit and other food. Secretly, it would be a little homecoming party, if Madi was there too. All of her hopes were on Bellamy and she thought he would bring her back, as promised. And now that she saw him coming 'home', it made her heart even sadder. Realizing that she hadn't been part of this group of friends and how much she had missed in all these years. Then she saw Echo hugging Bellamy, that hurt even more. But suddenly, from the corner of her eye she noticed he was coming her way.
"Hey." he said, awkwardly smiling.
Clarke didn't make eye-contact first. "Hey." she said soft.
Butterflies were moving inside her belly as she suddenly felt his hand on her shoulder. He gently caressed her with his thumb.
"Are you okay?" He asked. When Clarke nodded, he waited until she looked at him and said. "We need to talk."
Now she frowned and shyly smiled. "No we don't. There's nothing left to say Bellamy."
He slightly tilted his head and stared into her eyes.
Before he could say something about Madi she added..."You are with Echo. I'm happy if you're happy. You know, that is all I wanted, that you'd survive and be happy."
"Clarke?" He softly replied, like he didn't believe what she'd just said. Then he shook his head. "That's not what I wanted to talk about. It's about Madi..."
Clarke got restless. "What? What is it?!"
He took her hands and tried to calm her. "It's okay, she's fine. I know where she is, she's safe okay?" he gently moved his thumbs over the palms of her hand.
But Clarke felt anger coming up. "Then why is she not here, with you? Why didn't you take her with you?! This is her home, she's supposed to be with me."
The others heard them argue...
Bellamy looked at the ground, unsure of how to tell her, or where to begin.
"Bellamy?!" She pulled back her hands and folded her arms. "Where the hell is she?"
This angry, protective look on her face...he had never seen it before. "She's with Octavia, everything will be okay."
But it wasn't enough. "You didn't answer the question. Why didn't you bring her here?!"
He couldn't keep this from her, as much as he wanted to. After a deep sigh he confessed. "Because they found her before I did...and captured her. I'm sorry Clarke, I really tried..."
"So now your sister became our enemy too?!" She paused. "You're sorry? For what, you should've brought her here!" She was furious.
"It's because of her blood." he answered.
Raven followed their fight and got annoyed, she was standing behind Bellamy and responded. "So they want a new commander after all. Are they really considering putting that AI inside of her? Don't tell me your sister is allowing this! After everything that's happened with ALIE."
Great, even more people that were angry at him. He sighed then turned to face both of them, folding his arms across his chest. "Now you two listen to me very carefully. Octavia is also in the middle of all of this, mainly because of Gaya. Apparently the flame is still very important, I tried to discuss this and take the girl home." he paused and right before Clarke could snap at him again he added "I didn't allow anything! They wanted to capture me as well, but Indra let me go so I could warn you." He glanced at Clarke.
Clarke shook her head. "Right..." She moved closer towards him. "Don't you play me for a fool Bellamy, you're just lying to protect your sister, I know you! You're a bastard." she gave him a disgusted look and walked away.
Oh he wanted grab her and yell something back so much, but it was better to keep quiet right now.
He replied softly. "No, you don't know me any more." and lowered his head. Raven lay her hand on his shoulder, she felt sorry for him.
"Hey, she'll come around."
Bellamy looked up. "I don't care if she does." he lied.
Now Raven had a cheeky smile on her face. "Yeah you do. Now come on, you need some rest."
He forced a smile on his face. "Thanks Raven."
After sitting down with the others, he went looking for Echo, but couldn't find her. Every one was there, except Echo.
… … …
Echo went looking for Staros. She got afraid, after hearing the people from the Bunker got out, about Octavia and how she had almost captured her own brother.
After searching for him for a while, she stopped to rest against a tree and buried her face in her hands. She cried because she knew everything had changed, the happiness and peace she'd experienced in space was gone.
"Hey there."
She startled and looked up with squeezed eyes. Staros was standing in the sun, the sun rays that were shining on and around him made him even more attractive.
He knelt down before her and lay his hand on her knee. "What's the matter?"
She shook her head and just cried.
Staros crawled on his knees to the small spot next to her and leaned against the tree. "It's not like we landed in Paradise, have we?" He closed his eyes and enjoyed the warmth of the sun on his face.
Echo looked beside her. "It's more like; hell."
Now he looked down, next to him. "Ouch. That's sounds very depressing sweetheart."
He was so charming and flirted with her the whole time, Echo had this weak spot for him since she'd found him. "I'm not your sweetheart."
He turned a bit towards her and grinned. "We could change that." he moved his eyebrows.
She tried not to laugh. "Wow, you must feel pretty lonely, for a long time."
Staros pulled up an eyebrow. "And I'm not the only one."
"I wasn't lonely, until a few days ago. I am with someone."
He was amazed and rolled his eyes "Then he's a fool! I wouldn't let you out of my sight for this long."
"You're right, he is a fool. Because he loves someone else more."
"Do you want me to kill him?"
It made her laugh, not realizing what he was capable of. It wasn't a joke, but she was to weak to see it.
… … …
After talking for a while, they found out they had a lot in comment. Not just because they were both banished by their people.
Staros asked "Why don't we stick together? We should team up and think of a plan."
That sound good, maybe it was the only option even? Survive alone and probably die, or stay with this man who seemed willing to do anything for her.
He added "The people need a good leader, a man, with a strong woman by his side. We could rule this world together Echo."
Echo looked unsure and doubted if he was joking or not.
"How would a spy and betrayer rule this world?" she thought out loud.
"Oh it's confession-time?! Promise me you won't get scared. But...I once was a mass-murderer."
Echo looked in his eyes and didn't take him seriously. "Well...I dated a mass-murderer. We are all murders down here Staros, I prefer to call us 'survivors'."
He smiled, kind of shy, which surprised her. "What?"
"Nothing. It's the way you say my name, kind of cute." he blinked his eyes.
She playfully pushed him with her elbow. He quickly responded by carefully taking her face in his hands, staring deeply into her eyes.
"You're a gorgeous woman Echo, I wouldn't let anyone hurt you." It felt so safe, she felt warmer and butterflies began to fill her stomach. Before she could think straight, they were all wrapped up in a kiss already. Sparks everywhere, they both fell for each other big time!
… … …
After the long and passionate kiss they decided to go for a walk.
Suddenly he lifted her off the ground and threw her over his shoulder. Of course she could fight, but she burst out in laughter instead and just let him.
"That's not what I expected from you." He said, curious how she would fight.
"Are you challenging me?" she asked, he put her down and stepped back, gesturing her to start fighting.
Staros was impressed when she did. The fight was harder then he thought, but it was even harder to constantly try not to hurt her.
Echo knew he kept it in and kicked him real hard, against his chest. It made him fall backwards. A bit embarressed, he crawled up again and avoided another punch.
"Wooh, wait." He said.
Echo laughed. "You give up?"
"No, but I can't fight when I'm turned on."
She felt her cheeks burn and looked at the ground.
He walked towards her and put his arms around her waist, when she looked up he started kissing her. Echo kissed him back and didn't hesitate to deepen the kiss and wrap her legs around him. They both wanted this...
