Chapter 7
"Ok Bellamy you can do this" he muttered to himself "just go in there and ask her out" Bellamy was on his way to Ravens room. He felt like throwing up. He has had feelings for Raven for a while now and every time he tried to ask her out he chickened out and to make it worst he believes that Raven knows this. He really can't pin point the moment when it started but he cares for her deeply. Gina will always have a piece of his heart but she would want him to be happy. Well that's what Lexa had told him once.
...................
2 weeks after Lexa arrived at Arcadia
"Hey commander" he said to Lexa. She was sitting in a tree with her bow and arrow pointed at something. She sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Bellamy kom skaikru you just scared off the deer !" She growled. He smiled at her and shrugged
"Can I join you?"
"No" she groaned. He laughed and started climbing the tree. She glared at him.
"Tell me Bellamy kom skaikru I am new to your culture so enlighten me. Do the sky people always do the opposite of what one says? is this your custom?" Bellamy laughed at her.
"No just some of us" he playfully nudged her. She shook her head and started searching the area for more animals "Can I ask you something?" He said softly
"No" she replied and ignored him.
"What do you and your people do if they like someone" Lexa groaned and looked at Bellamy
"Will you go away if I tell you" she said in a grumpy tone
"Sure" he lied
"It's called courting and one usually makes a gift and presents it to that person or takes them out on a trip" he rubbed his chin thinking about where and what he could make Raven.
"Where would you go or what would you make" she rolled her eyes
"I do not know bellamy kom skaikru It depends on the person being courted" she said quickly
"Well what would you do to court Clarke?" Again she rolled her eyes and rubbed her temples she let out a deep sigh knowing that he wasn't going to go away anytime soon
"Not that it is any of your business but I asked Clarke to go to Polis with me"
"Really? What she say" he asked curiously
"Nothing"
"Really?"
"Bellamy I do not want to talk about klark" she said firmly. He went quiet and he looked sad. Lexa close her eyes looked up at the sky and sighed. "Who are you trying to court" she asked annoyed. Bellamy rubbed the back of his neck and looked nervous
"Raven" he mumbled. Lexa smirked
"The little bird?"
"Yeah" he said shyly. Lexa laughed and shook her head "what's so funny?" He asked amused
"Well the little black bird is crazy" she said tilting her head with a smile. He smiled back at her
"Yeah" he looked away and Lexa could see a trace of guilt on his face. She knows he lost someone close to him when azgeda blew up mount weather. She can relate to Bellamy having lost someone to the icenation as well.
"I know what you are feeling bellamy kom skaikru. I too once lost someone I cared for. You never feel like you are going to move on or be happy again and you blame yourself for their downfall" Bellamy wiped a lone tear that fell down his cheek. Lexa swallowed the lump in her throat "tell me bellamy Kom skaikru. Was she a good person?" He nodded afraid to talk. "What was her name?" She asked softly
"Gina"
"Gina? Ah yes I have heard stories about her from Raven and more of your friends. She sounded like she had a good heart"
"She did" he smiled thinking of her
"Then tell me do you think she would want you to be sad? Or be happy?" She asked
"I think she would want me to be happy"
"Then you owe it to her to be happy. To live. To love. Because she no longer has those options" she smiled sadly at him.
"Is that what you do commander?" She looked away.
"It took me a lot longer to realise it" he sat their quietly leaning on the tree. He looked at Lexa who was lost in her own thoughts.
"So what do I do to court Raven?" He said not being able to stand he quiet any longer. Lexa groaned and threw her head back
"I was enjoying the silence" He laughed and held her hand. She flinched at the contact but relaxed when she looked at Bellamy who had a friendly smile on his face
"Thank you Lexa" he said softly. She rolled her eyes and playfully punched him in the arm but she punched a bit too hard and he fell out of the tree with a thud. She looked down to him. He was lying on his back Looking up to her shocked. She smiled and then they both started laughing uncontrollably. She jumped down from the tree and knelt down beside him still laughing both of them had tears running down their faces. She lied beside him and looked up at the blue sky. the sky reminded her of Clarkes blue eyes. She wiped the tears from her face. Bellamy looked at her and seen. "I'm here if you want to talk about Clarke commander" he said trying to catch his breath from laughing. She punched him in the arm again and rolled her eyes
"You talk to much Bellamy kom skaikru"
.................................
Present
Bellamy knocked on Ravens door but there was no answer. He frowns because he knows she is no where else. He knocks again. Still no answer. Worried he slowly opens the door
"Raven?" He calls as he peeks into the room. He looks near the bed and sees a puddle of blood. He can feel his heart beating in his ears cause it's a lot of blood. He runs to the bathroom to find it empty he quickly runs out of the bedroom to Clarke and lexas room to also find it empty. He runs his hand through his hair and groans in frustration. He runs to where he knows Lexa is
.......................
Lexa had been sitting in on meetings all day with the ambassadors. Now it's just herself and Murphy.
"Heda now that we are free I have to bring up some concerns" she nods
"Continue"
"It's about Jaha and the city of light" Lexa looks at him confused "when I left with him he had a mission to find this city of light. We had to cross the dessert. He locked me in a bunker for I don't even know how long it felt like forever. There was a recording that was playing?"
"A recording?" She interrupted
"Yes it's moving pictures that tells a story in this case it a scientists recording just before the missiles fell" Lexa nods "so anyway basically this scientist called Becca created an artificial intelligence called A.L.I.E. this is like a computer program and she was created to try and make the world a better place but basically she thought that to make the world a better place meant less people hence the reason the bombs fell"
"Did you say bekka?" He nods
"Yes. Titus told me she was the first commander. When I was captured Titus bought me here because he thought I was a threat to you. These chips that Jaha has been handing out has the commanders sacred symbol on it"
"Yes I believe Raven mentioned something about a blue chip and the city of light but I never would have thought that it was related to our first commander"
"From what I can tell from the sacred room was that for some reason after the bombs fell Becca came down in pod I assume that Raven or Clarke has told you about the 13th Station?" Lexa nods "right well the 13th station. Was called Polaris. The pod in the sacred room has missing letters called-"
"Polis" Lexa finished. "What are your thoughts on this Flamekeeper?"
"I think that the flame is what Becca created trying to fix the mistakes that alie made. From what Titus has told me you have access to previous commander. Becca wanted to try and help humanity the flame in someways has done that. From knowledge over 100 years" Lexa takes a deep breath. "If Jaha is helping alie there is only one thing alie will want"
"What is that flamekeeper"
"Control" she nodded
"We need to return to Arcadia and put a stop to this ready a group of warriors I will inform Clarke and Raven" as she walks to the door bellamy runs in out of breath and and worry on his face "Bellamy what is it"
"It's Raven and Clarke! They are missing!" Lexa runs out of the room
