‘Always the fucking hero, Blake.’
‘Shut up’ the husky voice says and when Clarke looks at him finally, she sees he’s no more than a couple of years older than her. His dark curls fall in around his eyes and his jacket is ripped in random places. He’s clean shaven but a shadow of a beard is there already. Freckles dance across his nose and his muscular frame straightens, brushing himself down.
‘Jesus, Bellamy!’ A girl’s voice appears behind Clarke. ‘What were you thinking?’
‘Her car crashed, Raven!’ This Bellamy shoots back at the girl with jet black hair, pulled back tight into a ponytail. ‘She’s hurt!’
‘Hundreds are hurt!’ Raven snaps, acting like Clarke isn’t even there. She knows what Raven is asking though. Why her? Why save Clarke?
‘Yeah, and now one more is saved’ Bellamy starts walking towards the kitchen. ‘Paper the rest of the windows Murphy and stop looking at me like I’m insane.’
‘You are insane’ Murphy mutters, more under his breath though as he picks up newspaper and starts sticking them to any clear glass that’s visible, shutting his eyes as he does so. It’s a messier job but he doesn’t dare look outside through the gaps.
‘What the hell is going on?’ Clarke finds her voice but it’s shaking when it comes out. Bellamy is coming back with a glass of water for her but she doesn’t accept it when he offers. ‘My mother…’ she goes about explaining but the words get caught in her throat. She brings her fingers up to pinch the bridge of her nose before the tears can spill over.
Holy shit, her mother is dead.
They are facing the end of the world, but with their fears just at the other side of the door, they need to close their eyes and trust one another to make it out - together. A Bellarke/Murven Bird Box Au based on @eyessharpweaponshot​‘s amazing fic.
