I couldn’t
sleep. I had a terrible headache. I was lying in to ground, watching the
ceiling of the cave. Thankfully Bellamy left me his jacket and I am not very
cold right now. I was thinking what I will tell him if he don’t believe my
story, how I am going to tell him the truth. I hear Bellamy coming back.
“Hey there”
he said and turned to see him. “I didn’t sleep?” he asked and came near me.
“No, but its ok” I said and turned the other side. “What did you caught?” I
asked him and tried to stand up. “Here, let me help you” he said and helped me
stand up near the fire. “One rabbit only. Sorry…” he said and lowered his head.
“It’s enough for both of us” I said and looked him in his eyes.
“Give me
some time to cook it and then we can eat” he said and went near the fire. “You
told me the truth Clarke?” he asked me while he was cooking. “About what?” I
asked trying to avoid answering. “About what happened to you…” he said and
stared at me. “Please tell me truth” he continued. “I did this to you?” he
asked. I didn’t want to tell him.
“No, it
wasn’t you” I said and lowered my head. “Then, who? Because I don’t believe
that you felt in this rock. There is no blood in the ground. Only this rock has
blood” he said and raised the rock that he hit me with. “It wasn’t you Bellamy”
I said again. “Clarke, just say it” he asked me. “No, it wasn’t you! It was
that silly grounder poison that made you do it!” I shoot and tears came out of
my eyes. “It wasn’t you…” I said and wiped my tears off.
He closed
his eyes and shacked his head like telling to him I can’t believe that you done Bellamy. I stand up and go sit near
him. I take his hands in mine and turn his face to see me. “It wasn’t your
fault Bellamy. You saved me from that arrow, the same arrow that made you do
think that you couldn’t even imagine doing. I know that the Bellamy I know now
isn’t like this” I said and stared in his eyes. “I am sorry” he said and a tear
came out. “I didn’t mean to-” he said and I cut him “I know… I know”. He kissed
me in my forehead and them hugs me in his arms.
“I think
you should not burn the only food we have” I said to change the subject and
leave everything back. “God idea” he said and took the rabbit off the fire.
“Ladies first” he said and smiled, giving me the cooked rabbit. We ate the
rabbit, it was delicious.
“Go to
sleep. Soon will be morning. You should rest before we walk back to the camp”
he said and took off his jacket again. “I am fine. I don’t need sleep” I said
and looked at him. “Try to sleep Clarke. It was a rough night for you” he said
and game me his jacket. “It was a rough night for you too Bellamy. You can go
to sleep if you want, I can’t” I said and pushed his hand with the jacket back
to him.
“Ok then,
since I can’t sleep ether I want to ask you something” he said and put his
jacket on again. “Why to didn’t told me the truth from the first time?” he
asked and stared in my eyes. “The same reason you took the arrow for me” I said
and he freezes.
“Come here”
he said and took my hand. He pulled me by his side and putted his hand behind
my back. “I know that you are cold… you could have take my jacket before, I am
fine” he continued. The truth is that I was cold, but I didn’t want him to
freeze for me. “I am fine too, when I am standing here” I said and rethinking
immediately. “I mean, here near the fire” I corrected myself. “I know ” he said
and squeezed me more in his arms. “Better?” he asked. “Better” I said.
