Beautiful Reunions

1. It's Not Necessary, Ms. Blake

"Has anyone seen Bellamy?" Echo asked. 

"I haven't," I tell her. 

"Me neither," A chorus of dumbfounded people respond. 

"Last time I saw him he was in the room talking to his sister," I tell Echo. 

"I'll go check there." Echo walked over to the room where he was last seen. Everyone else returned to what they were doing. I looked over at my little natblida who had busied herself with Zeke while she learned to read. 

A few minutes later, Echo came back. "He's not there."

"He probably went to the bathroom," Murphy suggests. "Don't worry."

I went over to the hospital wing of this ship to busy myself. However, while walking, I was greeted by a shuffling of footsteps and the sounds of cabinets opening and closing. THinking it was my friends, I go in the room to look, confused as to how they could have gotten here before me since I was the only one who left to come to the hospital. 

As soon as I stepped in the doorway, I realized these weren't my friends. They were Robert, Bellamy, and the man who I guess has to be Vinson. 

"Robert!" I exclaim, "Where have you been? Everyone's been looking for you."

I look over at Bellamy and his face goes white and his eyes widen. "Oh, um," Robert stammers. "I found Vinson in  the woods and he was injured, I brought him here to look for bandages."

"Oh, I can take a look at that for you," I offer. 

"That won't be necessary, Ms. Blake. We've got it all under control," Robert says. I forgot I told them that my name was Clarke Blake. It seemed like a reasonable decision at the time but I can feel the heat rising in my cheeks in front of Bellamy. 

I don't let it faze me, however, and offer my help again.

"It's really not necessary," Robert says. 

"Vinson, get on the table. Let me have a look at your injury," I say, ignoring Robert. 

I turn around to see Vinson not moving, and I hear the sound of a gun cock. 

"Looks like we're gonna have to make this trip short. Vinson, let's go," Robert says. 

The last thing I remember before I fell to the ground and fainted was a deep scream, Bellamy yelling 'No!'
