Bellamy woke up with a groan. Every inch of his body hurt like hell. He tried to sit up on his elbows, but his muscles didn't allow him. His eyesight was fuzzy and couldn't quite concentrate on his surroundings but they did seem familiar. He panicked, as terrifying memories (mountain men capturing him, dragging Clarke away from him), came back to him.
No he thought Not Mount Weather again.
His breathing increased, but he slowly realized he wasn't in Mount Weather; he wasn't surrounded anymore by cold concrete walls. He was startled when he noticed the flap of a tent and the warm welcoming color of a washed out brown.
No, it couldn't be.
But it was. He was in his tent. His freaking tent after so long…! But how was this even possible he didn't remember being rescued, he didn't remember coming here.
Clarke
Had she made it back too? Was she safe? He had to find her.
It took all his willpower to get out of bed. He grabbed his jacket from a wooden table; he had built himself and got out in the sunlight. He stood for a moment outside his tent, closing his eyes and enjoying the sun rays that beamed through the clouds.
Oh it had been too long since the last time he saw the sunlight.
"Bellamy!" He heard the shriek and opened his eyes to see Octavia running into his arms with a grin.
He hugged her tightly, a smile forming in his lips, before pulling away. He looked around him, everyone (and I mean everyone), the adults, the rest of the kids even some of the grounders, had circled around him, smiling and patting him on the back. Lexa had thanked him for rescuing her people, Abby was yelling at him to go lie down again while Octavia and Raven were trying to explain what had happened. Apparently Jasper, Monty, Miller and the grounders that were trapped inside mount weather had stick together (thank god for Clarke talking them into the alliance) and found Bellamy unconscious on the woods with only one man guarding them as the rest of the mountain men were looking for food or something. They had taken the guard down and carried Bellamy all the way back to camp. All the time that Octavia was telling the story and Abby interrupting her, listing each and every one of his injuries, he had only one thing on his mind. Clarke. They hadn't mention her and he was really starting to get worried.
"What about Clarke?"
Everyone fell silent at his words. The little bubble of happiness that had formed when he exited the tent had popped just like that.
He asked again "Guys, where is Clarke? You found her too, right?"
Octavia reached out and grabbed his hand. "I'm so sorry Bell, they didn't find her, they knew she was with you and they searched but they couldn't find her"
"Of course they couldn't, they separated us when we were captured" he murmured loud enough for Abby to hear, turned around and walked into his tent again, grabbing a backpack and stuffing in everything useful he could find.
"Bellamy! What are you doing? You can't go out there again it's too dangerous, you're injured, your whole body is covered in scar tissue!"
"So will your daughters if I don't go to find her soon." He snapped taking a map from the ground and shoving it into his pack.
"Bellamy listen to me, there is already a team prepping to go find her, you need rest"
"I don't need rest, I'm fine. I'm going after her."
"Like hell you are" Octavia had come out of nowhere crossing her arms over her chest and staring daggers at him. "She sent you to die Bell, there's no way you're risking your life for her again!"
"I promised her I would save her Octavia. And that's what I'm doing. Either you can help or stay here and pout, it's your choice."
She scolded but the defeat was visible on her face, there was no way she would ever win in a fight with her brother. "Fine I'm coming with you but we're bringing Lexa and some of the warriors."
Bellamy seemed to consider that. "There's no way they're going to say yes."
Octavia smirked, due to the relationship she had developed with Indra she was sure she would get what she wanted and sure enough, they were outside the gates with Miller, a few grounder warriors, and Indra herself in no time, completely ignoring all of Abby's complaints.
Bellamy approached her carefully. "Thank you for coming with us."
She looked at him with the same cold expression she always has painted on her face. "I'm doing this for Octavia, not for you or the girl."
He nodded and let her give the okay to start.
The whole way Bellamy was thinking of his princess. They were hurting her he knew they were. He just hoped not in the same way they had tortured him. His mind was a dark place right now, filled with shadows and agonizing memories. He remembered everything, every little thing they had done to him. The wounds on his body were hurting like hell. He remembered being hanged upside down, and feeling dizzy and out of nowhere feeling a stabbing pain in his lower abdomen, then a stinging ache to his arms as he realized they were drawing blood from him. But soon the mountain men realized he wasn't a grounder and started torturing him for information. There were lashes, causing him excruciating pain, and then there were shocks with electricity leaving his body inflamed and irritated. But in all the time they were torturing him he didn't say a word, not about his camp or the alliance with the grounders, he just left piercing screams, sometimes he even shouted her name and now he slowly realized how he had been rescued so easily. They wanted him to go because they knew that if they had her, he would come back, and do anything in his power to protect her.
But he didn't care; he would save her, even if it meant losing his life in the process.
So he increased his pace, wincing at every step he took. Quicker they got there, the less pain she would have to go through.
