The Runaway (the 100/Bellarke)

Chapter 2: Hotels Hiding and Hurt

"This is the last stop of the night, ladies and gentlemen." A voice came through the speakers.

There was no one left on the bus, but Clarke and Bellamy. The two grabbed their bags, and stood up, walking over towards the open bus doors.

"Thank you." Clarke said, directed at the bus driver.

He looked shocked at first, but than he smiled. "Sorry. I couldn't give you that free ride."

Clarke nodded, and then walked out the exit, followed by Bellamy.

"Where exactly is this hotel?" Clarke questioned.

Bellamy pointed forward, and right in front of them was a hotel.

The building was a small, one-story is place. On the building was big, red, light up letters that read 'George's Inn'.

Clarke nodded, and with that the two proceeded up to the hotel.

Clarke looked over at Bellamy, to see him carting two black duffle bags.

"I never asked you why you were on the bus." Clarke said.

"I just like to travel." Again, rehearsed line.

"Why would you come to Arkville? You said it yourself it's a small town." Clarke asked, but she didn't get her answer because the two had already arrived at the hotel.

Bellamy opened the door allowing Clarke to walk in first, and then he followed.

"Hello." The lady at the front desk greeted.

She was tall, and had short brown hair. She looked as if she was in her late thirties, early forties.

"Hi." Clarke responded.

"My name is Alex. Do you have a hotel room booked with us?"

"Uh. Yes." Bellamy answered.

"The name?" Alex asked.

"David Shaw." Bellamy answered.

Alex looked as if she was toping something on her computer. "It's nice to meet you David and ..." Alex looked over at Clarke as if asking for her name.

"Claire." Clarke lied.

Alex smiled. "I hope you two have a great stay." She handed Bellamy a single key. "Room twelve right to your left." She pointed down a hallway.

"Thanks." Clarke and Bellamy then walked away, down the hallway.

The hallway had a white patterned wallpaper with blue roses on it, that looked a bit old and outdated.

"Room twelve." Bellamy said as he brought the key to the door, in locking it. Bellamy opened the door reviling a simple, but well taken care of room.

Clarke and Bellamy both walked in.

"Sorry, about the whole fake name thing." Clarke said, causing Bellamy to turn his head. "I just don't want my - the person I'm running from - to find me."

Bellamy nodded. "I completely understand."

Clarke let out of sigh of relief.

"Now, I'm exhausted." Bellamy said as he sat both of his bags down on a chair. "I'm going to sleep."

Clarke sat her bag on the floor next to Bellamy's.

"I second that." Clarke said as she followed Bellamy into the bed. "David?"

"Yeah?" Bellamy responded to his fake name.

"We're both sleeping in the same bed?" Clarke question she realized there was only one bed.
