Reckless ~ Sequel to Shameless {Bellamy Blake}

16~ Fleeing

I adjust my gun, something I keep on me at all times now, as I walk through the curvy halls of the Ark. My combat boots click against the floor as I desperately try to find a familiar face. 

"Tatum." I hear Bellamy call from behind me. 

"Bellamy." I sigh. I study his facial features and my eyes turn to worry. "What's wrong?"

"They're going to give him up." Bellamy says.

"What do you mean? I thought we were going to fight." I babble, my eyes tearing up slightly.

"I heard them talking. They're doing it to save the rest of the people." 

"We have to get Finn out of here." I nod.

"Now." Bellamy finishes. 

We both take off running. Running through the hallways and down corridors trying to look for Clarke or Finn. Finally, we literally run into them. 

"Finn." Bellamy gasps. 

"Finn, Finn," I grab his shoulders. "You need to get out of here."

Clarke looks between Bellamy and I and looks at us like we're crazy. "Where would he go?"

"The drop ship." Bellamy answers.

"No!" Clarke yells. "You know that this is the safest place for him right now."

"It isn't if they're turning on him." Bellamy argues. 

"Listen to me, Clarke," I say. "I wouldn't be telling you this if it wasn't absolutely vital. We have to get Finn out of here...now!"

Bellamy starts walking towards the exit of the Ark. "We can protect him at the drop ship until we figure this thing out."

"We need to meet at Raven's gate in five." I demand, turning to go with Bellamy. 

"She's already working on cutting the power to the fence." Bellamy adds.

"Ok, but nobody's coming with me." Finn runs a hand through his hair stressfully.

"That isn't up for discussion." Clarke says demandingly.

By now, we're all speed walking for the exit. 

"We're surrounded by Grounders." I sigh as we get a glimpse of the outside. 

"If we split up, we take the low ground, we'll make it through." Clarke suggests. 

"We'll meet at the drop ship." Bellamy nods and then turns to me as we hurry down the hallways. "And this time you're not leaving me. We're doing this together."

I feel the corners of my mouth tug upwards as I feel him staring down at me. 

We turn down a hallway on our way out and a crowd of people are standing there.

"There he is!" One of them says. That one guy starts running towards Finn, the rest of his group watching. I look towards Bellamy and we both nod. I run forward, grabbing both of the guys arms and twisting them backwards, throwing the guy to the ground. Bellamy comes up behind me and kicks the guy in the ribs, slamming the back of his gun into the guys face, knocking him out. 

"Anyone else?" Bellamy yells at the rest of the group. 

The group scatters, running in all directions away from us. 

"You two are gonna get us killed." Clarke mumbles but I can visibly hear the smile in her voice.

"Where are they?" Raven asks impatiently as she paces around the bottom floor of the drop ship. Raven, Bellamy, Murphy and I arrived at the drop ship close to an hour ago. Our plan was to meet Finn and Clarke here but they haven't shown. "They should be here by now."
