The second Abby saw Bellamy carrying Clarke she yelled at a couple people, telling them to move from a bed so that Bellamy could lie Clarke down.

"What happened?" Abby asked as she inspected her daughter .

Bellamy shrugged as he looked at Clarke's pained expression. "I-I dont know, we were just talking and then she froze, and now," he said.

Abby nodded, tears forming in her eyes as she held a cloth under Clarke's mouth. "I've seen this before, shortness of breath, seizing," she touched her daughters forehead, "fever. It's poison."

Bellamy clenched his fists. "Do we have the antidote?"

"The vials over there," she motioned towards a handmade cabinet. Bellamy quickly grabbed them and handed them to her.

He watched Abby study each one closely, she then opened one and made Clarke drink some of it.

Clarke stopped shaking slightly and then her head fell back against the bed. "Is she going to be okay?" Bellamy asked.

Abby sighed with relief as she wiped her eyes. "She's going to be fine, you can go, I'm sure you have better things to be doing. I'll have someone come for you when she wakes up."

"No, I'm staying," Bellamy said while grabbing a chair and placing it beside Clarke. He sat on it and Abby watched him intently.

"You've only known her for three days, but you care about her?" Abby said in disbelief.

"Am i not supposed to care about my wife?" He asked, slightly annoyed by Abby's tone.

"No no no, i just meant. . . Never mind, I need to go and get her father, come get me if anything else happens okay?"

Bellamy nodded and watched Abby walk out of the medical room. He turned his attention back to Clarke, she was pale but the shaking had subsided.

There was one question lingering in Bellamy's mind, how had she been poisoned? He had to ask her a few questions when she woke up, but for now, he carefully grabbed her hand and laced his fingers through hers. He gave her a fright today, and for some reason he never wanted it to happen again.

He didn't know why, but he found some sort of comfort by holding her hand. It seemed to calm him down and thats probably why he fell asleep beside her. He didn't know how the princess had been poisoned, but he was for sure going to find out. No matter what it took.

Bellamy was woken by a slight nudge on his shoulder. He peeled his eyes apart and adjusted them to his surroundings, there he found his sister staring down at him, a smirk playing at her lips.

"Well would you look at this," she whispered motioning towards Bellamy's hand that was clasped with Clarke's. His hand was slightly sweating against hers so he decided to pull away.
