Rayne's Point of View
"You're totally bombed." Octavia laughed at Jasper as I left them walking over to the rations bin to grab a few of the small packets full of nuts before walking back over to the two of them.
"Hold on," Octavia told him once I got back to them, she looked at me once she stood up and smirked.
"Here, buddy. Take this." She told him handing him a stick. It hurt holding the laughter back. He looked so terrified but it was at the same time completely perfect.
"It's a stick." He said looking at us with disbelief. "No, it's not just a stick." I explained to him with a grin.
I looked over at Octavia whom was now stifling a laugh at our attempts to calm Jasper down. "This is an," she looked at me for help. "Anti-Grounder…." I cut in.
"Yea it's an anti-grounder stick." She explained to him as he looked at her with a confused expression. "Yep, so as long as you hold this and you sit right here," I told him as Octavia helped him to sit where she had been sitting moments before.
"Grounders won't be able to see you." She finished for me as she stood up and looked at me trying not to laugh.
At least now we knew getting Lincon out was going to be easier than we had first thought. Now we just needed to get everyone to eat the nuts, mainly Miller, Murphy, Drew and Conner. Those four would kill him and lock us up if they caught him escaping and us helping.
"See?" I asked him pushing the hair away from his face; he looked up at us both. "Yea makes sense." He told us, as Octavia nodded her head to me towards the nut rations. I nodded back to her telling her it would be a good idea to try and get everyone to eat them.
"I'll just stay right here." He told us. "Does make sense." He continued to ramble to himself.
"Yea, stay right here." She said patting him on the shoulder.
She and I began to walk towards the rations. "I got bags for the four boys." I told her as she nodded, "Now we just have to work on the rest of the camp…" I told her as she nodded.
"Here, let's go give it to the guys first… get them started." I explained to her as she nodded taking two of the bags and heading towards the drop ship to find Miller and Conner.
My task was Murphy and Drew, they where usually always together since Murphy was accepted back into Bellamy's crew. Patrolling the area to make sure everyone was doing their half of the work. I had began to wonder around the camp looking for them all the while telling people that the nuts where fantastic and they should go get a small packet of them.
Spreading word was working; everyone seemed to be taking the little packets snacking on them quickly. Once I had found Drew I walked up to him tapping him on the shoulder. "Hey, brought you something to eat." I told him with a kind-hearted smile.
He caught the small pack as I tossed it to him thanking me as he quickly began to pop them into his mouth munching on them. Guess he was really hungry, "Hey seen Murphy?" I asked him as he nodded.
"Last time I saw him he was in his and Clarke's tent." He told me causing me to arch my brow. "His and Clarke? Clarke as in the Clarke that took off with Bellamy hours ago?" I questioned.
"The one and only." He told me as I quickly ran back towards the tents quickly reaching Clarke's tent just in time to watch Murphy exit it as he was stretching and yawning.
"You sleep in Clarke's tent?" I asked him catching him off guard, causing him to jump slightly.
"What? No, not really no… I just sleep there when she's not… she uh she has the most comfortable… cot." He told me.
"This entire time… you knew what I suspected her doing and he just… let me think like that? Why wouldn't any one of you just tell me that you two where sleeping together?" I asked him my voice harsh and full of anger.
Murphy took a deep breath before looking at his feet, "We thought you would judge us, or get mad at one of us… I can't even explain how it happened it just kinda happened."
"So you guys just let my and Bellamy's relationship crumble by making him lie to me? Seriously?" I asked him my voice only growing more angry.
"Clarke made him not tell you… he caught us coming back one night, after the gate was closed and made us tell him where we where… Clarke begged him not to tell you she thought you would get mad." He explained.
"Why would I care what you two do? It's your lives go be happy… just not at the expense of my happiness… you two deserve each other… she's a spoilt brat who gets whatever she wants… and you just take whatever you want. Neither of you really care about anyone around you… both selfish, works." I scowled as I began to walk away.
"Here." I tossed him the packet of nuts. "Everyone needs to eat so eat up." I snapped heading back towards the drop ship to meet up with Octavia.
Bellamy's Point of View
I pulled down a piece of fabric letting us know where everything was for when she cam back later for it all. "This changes everything." I exclaimed to her.
"No more running from spears. Ready to be a badass, Clarke?" I asked her with a coy smirk on my face as I popped some nuts into my mouth chewing on them waiting for her reply.
She was examining the gun in her hands, I guess debating whether or not it was a good idea to shoot one off, or if she should even be holding it. "We don't even know if this thing still works it's been ninety-seven years since they where even used last." She said.
"That's if they where even used when they where made and brought down here." I shot at her arching my brow.
"Look. I'm not going to fight you on bringing guns back to camp. I know we need them, but don't expect me to like it." She explained to me.
I nodded watching her fiddle around with the gun, "We're lucky the rifles were packed in grease, the fact that they survived means we're not sitting ducks anymore." I told her.
"Means you can protect Rayne and Octavia for real." She said eye balling me. I looked at her and sighed, "You and both of them are going to need to learn how to do this." I told her.
"Rayne knows how to shoot a gun." She told me catching me off guard.
"What?" I asked her, "Yea, her dad was apart of the guard… or well her non Kane dad was at least." She told me.
She never told me that, why wouldn't Rayne tell me? I mean it's not like I asked her to be honest. I didn't really ask her most things, "I guess she'd be perfect to show the girls how to shoot the guns."
"Not everyone should be armed… we should pick people, most athletic people we can find and they should be our militia… if everyone has a gun things could turn out badly." She explained to me.
"Yea your right." I let out in as I let out my breath.
She finally moved facing the wall holding the gun improperly against her aiming it very poorly at the wall. "So I just hold it on my shoulder?" She asked me.
I put my hand on her shoulder helping her properly aim the gun, "Yea, just a little higher now, on that end." I told her as she leaned her head to the side looking through the scope.
"Now when you aim-" She cut me off.
"Yea Rayne told me when you aim make sure your sight is just above what you're aiming at…" She told me causing me to smile. "Yea…"
I suddenly began to realize what it was that was pissing Rayne off so much. Whenever I was alone with Clarke I acted like she was the most important thing too me, did I have some sort of an attraction to her? What was wrong with me? I was lucky to have a woman like Rayne with me. She was always there to back me, call me on my bullshit… loved me for every aspect of me. Forgave me for my mistakes…
Clarke always pointed out my flaws, made me second guess myself, made me hate who I was… and she did that without even trying. So why was it I was this way around her? Did I feel responsible for her because she was trying to keep me from being killed by Jaha?
"Yea, uh, that's good. Uh, watch and learn…" I told her softly.
I shook my head and cleared my throat before walking over and grabbing a gun of my own to show her how to shoot it. I checked the gun to make sure it was loaded; cocking the gun and making sure the chamber had a rounds in it to even fire the gun off.
Wait, I only started feeling like this after we left the camp. There was no way I was always like this around Clarke. Hell half the time I regretting not dropping her into that spike pit the third day we where even on this planet. It would have made my life a whole lot easier without her around. However she did remind me of Rayne and Rayne wasn't even here to remind me of herself.
Why was I thinking like a mad man, that was a better question?
I aimed the gun at the sheet I had lowered with the 'X' on it clicking the trigger only for it to click back at me. I looked over at Clarke rolling my eyes. Of course I forgot to empty the chamber first. I empty the chamber and aimed the gun back up at the sheet before squeezing the trigger again only for it to click again.
"Still watching…" she said sarcastically.
"My bullets are duds. Try yours." I told her giving her the same sarcastic look back.
She smirked lifting up her gun aiming it at the big black 'X', she squeezed the trigger having a bullet burst out and hit the blanket we had hanging there. I knew she was happy I could almost see the grin she had on her face through the back of her head.
"That was amazing." She said with an excited laugh. "Am I horrible for feeling that?" She asked me.
I smiled at her shaking my head "Try again." I told her with a grin on my face. Maybe Clarke wasn't so bad, just like Rayne had continuously told me she wasn't, and yet I let their relationship fizzle into nothingness.
"No. We shouldn't waste the ammunition." She said spinning around and facing me. She was staring at me the exact same way Rayne always stares at me.
This was exactly what Rayne was telling me, or trying to tell me. She wasn't accusing me of having feelings for Clarke; she was accusing me of being blind to Clarke's feelings for me. I was basically enabling Clarke's feelings by always giving into her demands and her pleading, wondering around the camp with her alone and meeting with her.
Was her being with Murphy just her way of trying to get closer to me without being obvious about it? I doubt she did it on purpose. She was probably trying to not having feelings for me by moving onto him. But than why ask me to come with her on this trip and not Murphy? He was once again my second in command a spot he shared with Miller.
"You need to practice." I told her as she said no.
"We need to talk about how we're gonna keep guns around camp, where are we gonna keep them, and who has access." She continued to say as I took another gun aiming it at the blanket we had hanging in the space that she'd shot at moments before.
Shooting it dead on the bull's eyes, now my aim wasn't shitty. It only reminded me of shooting Jaha. What if my aim wasn't shitty back on the Ark? Who would be in charge if I had hit him? What was Shumway's game plan once Jaha was dead what was he trying to succeed with, in killing the chancellor.
"You left Miller and Murphy in charge of the grounder." She told me after I stood there for a moment just staring at the newly made bullet hole.
"You must trust them." She questioned me.
"You should keep them both close." I told her softly. "The others listen to them. They both watch over Rayne and Octavia for me all the time, especially lately now with neither of them wanting to me near me." I explained to her.
"I should keep them close?" She questioned, "Why are you telling me all this?"
"Bellamy, what's going on?" She said staring me down she finally caught on. "You've been acting weird all day."
She looked over at my bag as I took a deep breath and swallowed hard. "All the rations you took." She said again, "You're gonna run." She finally pieced it all together.
"That's why you agreed to come with me, that's why you where ok with Rayne being upset with you before we left. Every other time you left camp in the past two weeks you made it a point of getting her to admit she still loved you…"
I just looked at her frustrated, I hate when she used my feelings for Rayne against me. She did it every time she and I didn't see eye to eye on something. It just made me angrier with her, this was exactly why I didn't like her and couldn't ever have feelings for her. She used my weaknesses against me every time.
"You where gonna load up on supplies and just disappear." She continued talking.
"I don't have a choice. The Ark will be here soon." I told her as she stared at me with disgust and anger.
"So you're just gonna leave Rayne and Octavia?" She exclaimed.
"Octavia hates me she will be fine. As for Rayne she is so mad at me she probably won't even notice I'm gone." I told her as she shook her head.
"Don't be stupid, she's probably pissed off that you aren't back yet." She told me, "If you hadn't noticed, every time you leave the camp and come back… Rayne is waiting for you just to argue with you… not because she is mad at you but because she knows arguing with you is better than not having you at all. She loves you no matter how mad she is with you." She explained to me.
I knew she was right, but leaving Rayne was my only option. I needed to go. Once Jaha found out she was my woman she would be in trouble, if she left with me she'd be dead the moment they found us. Either way she would be in trouble at least with me gone and her there the most she would get is constant questioning.
"I shot the chancellor." I yelled at Clarke out of frustration.
"They're going to kill me, Clarke. Rayne being associated with me is only going to get her killed too. It doesn't matter who her dad is, he wont get her out of that mess."
"Best-case scenario, they lock me up with the grounder for the rest of my life and keep Rayne and Octavia away from me." I told her, as she looked at me sadness taking over her face. "And there's no way in hell, I'm giving Jaha the satisfaction. Keep practicing. I need some air." I told her as I put the gun down and began to head back up to the surface of the bunker.
