Baby - Bellamy Blake

TWO

•••

" Are you Crazy! " A furious Nancy screamed when she entered the Montering room where everyone else stood. Tony shared an exaggerated glance with Marcus, who had to look away in order to not smile

" What are you on about, my dear?" Tony questioned. He turned to Nancy, who began to shove him by the shoulders until his back was pressed against a desk behind him.

" You sent Freya to the ground. She could die down there! " Nancy screamed at her husband. Jackson and Abby shared a weary glance with each other while the couple argued.

" She demanded to go down in Johnathans place. It was out of my hands. " Tony defended himself. In almost an instant, Nancy began to smack Tony's chest repeatedly in a fit of anger. " Hey, Hey, stop it." Tony tried to grab her hands but ended up getting smacked over the face instead

" You wanted to send Johnathan! I can't believe you right now, " Nancy cried out. She turned to the screens, her eye scanning for her daughter. Her eyes scanned every person on the screen with her dread. All these kids were going to have their lives at stake, and there was nothing Nancy could do.

When her eyes did find Freya on the screen, her once hammering heart slowed to a steady rhythm, and her anger subsided for the moment. The relief was short lived though when a group of guards came rushing in for Abby and Nancy

" The Chancellors been shot," one guard spoke. Nancy gave the monitor with her daughter on it one last time before following Abby out of the room.

Back on the dropship, Freya still hadn't let go of bellamys hand. When the dropship jerked, she'd tightened her hold on his hand. Not that Bellamy was complaining, though. Although his attention was on her, his eyes would wonder every once in a while in search of Octavia.

" Hey, wasn't Johnathan supposed to be here? " Cole questioned the girl when the jerking stopped for a moment

" He was," Freya breathed out an answer. Her head was pushed back against the seat she sat on as she struggled to control her breathing and racing heart. " I took his place." She then explained with her eyes that she squeezed shut

" Why? Why would you do that. I only agreed to this because he was going to be here. " Cole snapped angrily now that his best friend wasn't going to be with him

" Does it matter why, Cole. If you're too much of a coward to do this on your own, you shouldn't have volunteered. " Freya hissed at him. Beside her, Bellamy smiled astonished at her fierceness.

When sparks began to burst overheard, Freya instantly gripped onto her seatbelt with her free hand. Bellamy gave her hand a reassuring squeeze after seeing her hand tightly grip her seatbelt. His thumb began to rub circles over her knuckles soothingly. The small action sent a relief through Freya without her even realizing it.
