War of Hearts 》Bellamy Blake

T H R E E

Bellamy watched the other girl with careful eyes. He didn't like the idea of his sister hanging around with a known criminal, but as she had pointed out, he too, was technically a criminal now, and he'd learnt years ago not to get in Octavia's way when she wanted something.

The girl, Brinley, had the right idea removing the wristbands and Bellamy silently thanked the girl for giving him the answer to his prayers. By now, he was sure they had taken notice that he was missing and found Chancellor Jaha dead. He was a criminal – a murderer.

He watched as a smirk spread across his sister's face as she laughed loudly at the reckless girl she'd found a friend in. Octavia reached up to kiss his cheek as she hurried after Brinley, dragging her in a different direction.

'... Four of us, can we go now?'

Brinley looked up curiously as she heard Finn's voice. There was a group consisting of Clarke, Finn, Jasper and Monty. Brinley guessed they were going to be the ones attempting to get to Mount Weather. Not thinking twice, Brinley jumped at a chance to explore their new home.

'Make it five.' She called; she smiled at Jasper and Monty who were watching her carefully. The two blushed when they realised she had seen their glances.

'Sounds like a party, make is six.' Octavia called.

Brinley groaned as Bellamy's head perked up at his sister's words.

'Now you've done it.' She muttered to Octavia who groaned as well as he approached.

'Hey, what the hell are you doing?' He grabbed Octavia's arm.

'Going for a walk.' Octavia replied as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

Brinley snorted and Bellamy shot her a deadly look. If looks could kill, she thought idly. She vaguely heard Clarke ask about Finn's wristband.

'Brinley, where's your wristband?' Clarke asked in exasperation.

'I don't know, don't really care either.' Brinley shrugged.

'Everyone will think your dead.'

'Am I supposed to care?' Brinley asked the blonde.

'Do you want your Dad to think your dead?'

Brinley scoffed. 'Councillor Kane can go float himself.'

'You don't mean that.' Clarke denied.

Brinley shrugged, not answering her.

'Let's go.' Clarke sighed.

Octavia reached up and kissed her brothers cheek. 'Mwah.'

Bellamy let out a huge sigh behind them and Brinley hesitated.

'Don't worry sweetie, I'll keep an eye on her.' Brinley teased him, a mocking tone entering her voice.

'I'll hold you to that. If anything happens to her, I'm holding you accountable sweetheart.' His tone was serious and his mouth twisted in distaste as the nickname left his mouth.

Brinley cringed at the nickname and hurried to catch up to Octavia.

'Before you get any ideas, Finn is mine.' Octavia warned Clarke as she fell into step with Brinley again.

'Before you get any ideas, I don't care.' Clarke muttered.

'I don't have to warn you too, do I?' Octavia asked teasingly.

Brinley glared at her in response.

'If you're gonna kill someone, it's probably best not to announce it.'
