2. Tough Decisions

Things were spinning out of control; exactly the way Bellamy Blake wanted it to be. Everything was good and he had the control over the camp and they listened to him for reasons he had absolutely no clue why, but he wasn't complaining for now. He had even established his own group that followed his orders to take of the bracelets that connected them to the Ark. However when Octavia and her group of friends returned back to the camp after going of exploring towards Mount Weather, the first thing he noticed that her leg was injured. He began barking people around to and retrieves something to clean and bandage her leg. Octavia was fluttered and had a hard time explaining how this had happened, but when he began accusing Spacewalker and Monty she quickly defended them and told him that it wasn't their fault. Then she began explaining what had happened and Jasper was speared in the chest and was dragged off somewhere. Bellamy couldn't help feel sorry for the injured kid, but his main concern lied with his sister and was determined to keep her safe. So when Octavia begged for him to go and look for Jasper he rejected the idea.

"He is probably dead, Octavia," Bellamy argued. He had just finished bandaging her leg and looked up at her staring at him with exasperated expression on her face. "It's a lost cause to go and look for him. Right now the important thing is to survive and in order to do that we need to gather enough food and shelter before nightfall."

"But Bellamy…Jasper saved my life I should at least be able to pay him back by trying to save his. Even if he is dead he at least deserves to be buried probably instead somewhere alone," Octavia argued back. Her arms were crossed over her chest. Bellamy sighed wearily and closed his eyes for a second. She was obviously not backing down, but then again that was typical behavior for his sister. However no matter how much she argued and tried to change his mind, there was no way he was letting her go. He knew that she hated to be contained and wanted more than anything to be free to go where she pleased, but he needed to protect and keep her safe. So if it meant to lock her up and keep her inside the camp in order to do so then he was willing to do it, even if she was going be pissed and curse him for it.

"You will stay here, and that's the last I want to hear about it, O," Bellamy replied determined. "Atom will keep an eye on you and make sure you don't try and run off." He nodded towards Atom, who seemed to have understood his order. Then he began walking away before she got a chance to argue or try and run out of the camp. However he could hear her curse after him, but he didn't take it to the heart and continued walking away without turning to see his sister's furious face. When he passed Spacewalker and Monty he gave them the same order and told them they were to stay in the camp until further notice. They also looked like they wanted to argue with him, at least Monty did, but they didn't say anything directly at him. But they only mumble insults about him and his horrible ways of ruling the camp. Again he didn't take it to the heart and said annoyed, "I'm willing to make the hard decisions."

Monty and Octavia headed back inside to the drop ship in a huff meanwhile Spacewalker gave him a dirty look before he walked away, to do what he had no idea, but he didn't care so he didn't ask and instead began gathering his group to go out and hunt some food.

The next few days was relatively quiet except for the fact that he and Octavia got in yet again another fight, which ended with her walking away in anger and did everything possible to avoid him. Bellamy was tired and annoyed over his sister, but he didn't have the time or the power to deal with her when he had more important things to do than dealing with his defiant sister. However when he woke up that morning he didn't expect to hear that there was someone lying on the ground right in front of the gate that separated the camp and the forest. He ran an annoyed hand through his dark brown and unruly hair before he put on some clothes and followed after one of the delinquents who had been assigned to guard the camp. When he asked why no one noticed someone lying by the gate earlier, all he got was that they had no idea except when they were changing shifts they noticed the guy lying there.

When they finally reached the front gate it was just like they said, there was a guy lying there still breathing smooth and evenly, with his eyes close and dressed in slightly bloodied clothes. Bellamy noticed that the guy had sustained an injury to the chest, but oddly enough had been taken care of based on the bandage wrapped around his chest. He couldn't think of someone in the camp having much medical experience, at least enough to stop such an injury and manage to keep the guy alive, so he couldn't understand how and why this guy would be lying there in the first place. It wasn't until he saw the goggles on the kid's head he knew who this was.

"Please wake up Monty and Octavia," Bellamy ordered the teen, who had informed him and was currently standing next to him. "And tell them that Jasper is here and pretty much alive and then get down here to help me with him."

The teen didn't waste time and hurried off to the direction of the drop ship where Octavia and Monty were staying. Then he turned to look at Jasper who was still unconscious and looked actually peaceful, something he found pretty strange. How could he still be alive after getting speared to the chest? Who had saved him? And more importantly why would someone save him? There were millions of question and very few answers, but there was one thing he was certain of. They were not alone on this planet.

Once they settled Jasper in the drop ship, the only thing left was to wait for him to wake up, and then they could finally know how everything happened. Which was why Bellamy left Octavia and Monty in charge of watching Jasper and notify him once he was conscious enough. So he continued the routine of his day, ordering people around and venture outside the camp to go hunting food. The only other thing that was different from his routine was that he spent some time with one of the youngest kids, a girl named Charlotte who was suffering from nightmares and was afraid to sleep. The girl reminded him a lot of Octavia when she was younger, so he gave her the advice to "slay her demons" while she was awake. Charlotte looked hesitant and unsure, but she gave him a sweet smile, which warmed his heart greatly since there wasn't many people or many things that did that these days.

He left her shortly after and walked into the forest alone. After spending almost every hour of his days being in charge, he was in serious need for some solitude. So he walked aimlessly around the forest, however that didn't mean that he wasn't armed. After what happened with Jasper and the fact that they weren't alone, so he didn't want to take any chances.

Anyways he was walking further and further into the forest, stepping over twigs, logs and rocks. Meanwhile his gaze moved everywhere, keeping close attention to everything around him, even the slightest suspicion that someone was out there other than him got his attention. And for a while nothing particular stood out there was just the normal sound from the forest. Then out of nowhere he heard a twig crack and it wasn't coming from him. He stopped on his path, waited to see if his mind was playing tricks with him or something, but when he heard another twig break he was certain that it wasn't something he was imagining. Of course it could be an animal or someone from the camp, but it was unlikely since the hunting team had already been out that morning so there was no need for any them to go out again. Besides he had made it clear that no one was to go outside the camp without telling anyone or with someone, of course those rules didn't reply to him, but no one questioned it and did what they were told. However the sound wasn't coming from behind him or from the sides. No, it was coming ahead of him and he wasn't about to lose whoever it was. So he started walking again, following the sound while not making too loud noises and give away his position. He walked, swiftly and quietly, and it didn't take long before he was close enough to see who was in the forest with him. He stopped and hid behind a tree in order to get a better look as well as keeping his presence hidden. And he was surprised to see a beautiful young girl standing in the clearing, who was probably around his sister's age, with pale skin and long wavy blond hair. She wore a green thermal long sleeve shirt, dark green jacket, dark jeans and boots. Despite her more survivor appearance, she looked and reminded him more of a princess based on the way she acted. He continued to stare at her, thinking who she was and if she was a threat.

As he thought this she began moving away and into the thicker part of the forest. He didn't waste time following after her and he was doing a good job doing so, while keeping his presence hidden. However somewhere along the way she just disappeared and he wasn't even sure how she managed to do it. He was so exasperated that he walked to the location where she had last been seen, without taking the time to observe his surroundings. So he was caught by surprise when his gaze turned slightly to the side and saw her standing there behind a tree. Then everything happened so fast that he barely had time to think what was happening, but at that moment he was angry. They were in close proximity of each other and he pointed the gun at her with the barrel to her forehead. Meanwhile she held a knife to his throat, so close that he could feel the cold blade against his hot skin. However despite the clear threat she was giving him, he wasn't backing down and instead exclaimed, "Who in the hell are you!"

Thank you all for the wonderful response I have been receiving. I want to mention something that some of you have mention in your reviews to me. Let me get it straight right now, this story is basically an AU/Canon, meaning that it isn't supposed to be exact to the original. That is exactly my intention that this isn't something close to the original, since I can't out do the original nor do I want to do so. I'm changing up the story, taking elements of the original and work from there.

Also why Clarke wasn't so knowledgeable and self-assured about herself, there are several reasons for that, all in which will be explained further in the story. However she is pretty knowledgeable after living on Earth on her own for a year, but she is still only human. She makes mistakes just like we all do.

And for those of you who wishes for longer chapters, then I have to disappoint you since I will not be able write long chapters. Mainly because my long-written chapters is around 5K and it takes a long time to write. Meaning that you all have to wait a long time before I update on this story, something that I'm not willing to do. Besides my intention is that these chapters are not supposed to be long anyway.

Anyways keep on giving me reviews, favorite and/or followings. It is much appreciated and I hope that I will be able to update this story sometime during the weekend, but until then...
