Pretty Lies (Bellamy Blake Fanfic)

Remember Me

"Keep looking, someone must have seen what happened to Harper," Jasper presses and I groan,

"Jasper, it's been hours, there's not many places she could be, we're in a sealed bunker," I protest, and Jasper shakes his head,

"There has to be rooms we don't know about, places that aren't mapped," he insists, and we all turn to Maya, the only one who knows more about this place than anyone else,

"Well, is it possible?" Monty asks, and she purses her lips,

"I doubt it, but maybe," she answers, and Miller rolls his eyes,

"Thanks, you are just a... big help," he scoffs sarcastically,

"Easy Miller, Maya's on our side, she's risking more than any of us," Jasper cuts in, and I cross my arms over my chest, waiting for the cat fight to end,

"Really? Is she going to end up in the kennel too?" Miller retorts, his face pinched with anger,

"Stop it," Monty intercedes, leaning forward, "I found something," he pulls out a piece of paper, with a drawing of the floor plan of mount weather, "That leads to an antenna on the ground," he points out places on the paper, and we all lean in closer, "If we can access the radio, we can send a message over the Ark-wide channel, tell them we're here," he reveals, and Maya leans forward,

"The only radio's in the command center on level seven. Highly restricted," she dismisses, and I give her a pointed look,

"We got in before," Jasper drawls,

"Only because it was scheduled for decontamination. That won't work again so soon," she explains, and Jasper's face falls,

"We don't need the radio, we need the wires that run into it, here," he points to a spot on the map, and Maya looks more closely,

"The Art Warehouse, that I can get us into," she announces, and Monty begins to flip through more pages in his book,

"Great, now we only need to break through a two foot section of wall, find the outgoing wire, and jack into a closed system without being heard by the command center or anyone on the field,"

"That all genius?" I ask, and he shakes his head,

"Nope, we also need copper wires, the guards schedule, and a big ass hammer," he adds, and we all share the same nervous glances around the room. Miller moves to strand up when I hold up a hand,

"Wait, there's something else you should all know. Something I heard while I was in the medical bay earlier.." I begin, and Miller sits back down on the bed,

"What is it?" Jasper asks, leaning forward onto his elbows, and I swallow the growing lump in my throat,

"The doctor was talking to some guy in the separate room.. they were saying our blood didn't give them the kind of solution they needed... That in order to be permanent on the ground they would need our bone marrow.... and to get it would kill us," I whisper, and the group falls quiet. An image of Harper strapped onto a table flits through my head, and I can practically hear her screams,

"Why didn't you tell us before?" Monty asks, his face pale. I bite my lip, guilt for not telling them sooner wracking through my body,

"We needed to be focused....I knew if I had told you that you all would have started to freak out, and I'm sorry, but I'm telling you now," I explain, and Miller shakes his head,

"Ya, well sorry won't bring Harper back. What if they have her right now, and are drilling holes into her?" He demands in a harsh voice and I flinch as the image once again fills my head,
