❝ you're not her type ❞

"What are you boys doing?" A familiar female voice made Wells jump in surprise and drop the shovel in his hand on the floor while Sam just chuckled at his reaction and flashed the arriving girl a charming smile.

He turned around to see Gabriella leaning against a tree. Her hair was not straight anymore but rather curly, which was only the result of the rain from the previous night messing it up, and her pale face had some dirt on it.

"Sorry I missed the party last night. I heard you had fun with your cute power struggle moment. Very Ancient Rome of you." Her lips tugged into a sarcastic smile, "I am so disappointed that I missed it."

She went out of the camp to explore after she set up a tent. Right now, she knew she wanted the delinquents to take the wristbands off, and from what she heard it was working. Bellamy Blake just was doing her job for her. She was going to wait until there were only a few people left and then take hers off too. One, it will keep the council ( well, mostly Kane ) on their toes, and two, it pissed Bellamy off, which was her new favorite pastime.

Wells let out a huff and ran a hand over his forehead to wipe away the sweat that gathered there. "We buried the two guys that died during landing. We took their clothes in case someone needed them."

Gabriella hummed and gave him a nod of approval, "Smart. I knew I kept you around that long for a reason."

The boys did not get the chance to respond since the blonde turned around and started making her way back to camp, giving them no choice but to follow.

"I forgot she could be this..."

"Blunt?" Sam raised an eyebrow and let out an amused chuckle at Wells' grimace. "Tell me about it."

Wells adjusted the shovel that fell on the floor so it was leaning against a tree, picked the clothes up, and then followed Gabriella into camp with Sam trailing behind him.

The Kane girl looked around camp to see a bunch of delinquents jumping around and cheering. The sight brought a small smile to her face but it quickly turned into a scowl once one of Bellamy's lap dogs came up to them. She was not really sure what his name was but she saw him when she was hanging out at Farm Station. She thought it was something like Adam or Asher.

"Hey, where'd you get the clothes?" Atom asked, obviously trying to appear laid back but still trying to show authority, and Gabriella was not buying any of it. He was just another dumb hormonal teenage criminal and he was nothing different than the other ones in camp.

Well, except Bellamy. Gabriella thought. He's dumber than all of them combined.

"We just buried the two kids who died during the landing." Sam explained, giving Atom an annoyed glare.

"Smart. I'll take it from here . . . " Atom said and tried to take the clothes, only for Wells to take a step back.

He gave him a defensive glare, "We share based on need. Just like back home."

Gabriella scoffed at his words. If he was gonna keep acting like he was the Chancellor, he was going to get himself killed. And as much as she didn't like the actual Chancellor, she did not want anyone to get killed down here. She knew that if they wanted to survive, they could only do it together and someone dying every day was not good for morale.

"You still don't get it, do you, Chancellor?" A gruff voice questioned from behind, making Gabriella roll her eyes almost on reflex.

She turned around to see a shirtless Bellamy Blake walk out of the dropship with a tall gorgeous brunette who was not wearing a shirt either. His tanned freckled skin and six-pack were on full display for the whole camp to see ── and Gabriella was not exactly complaining. Sure, she has seen her fair share of shirtless guys, but give her a break, she hasn't had sex in more than a year.

While the eldest Blake kissed his one-night stand, Gabriella let her eyes briefly trail down his shirtless torso, catching a gun tucked in the waistband of his pants and mentally saving that fact for later.

The blonde quickly shook any kind of inappropriate thoughts away as Roma walked away from Bellamy, giving Gabriella a suggestive wink that made a small smirk curl at the corner of the girl's lips. Yeah, Gabriella was familiar with Roma more than some people might think.

"This is home now." Bellamy stated, cutting off Gabriella's obvious eye-fucking and making her turn back around to face Bellamy's obnoxiously smug face. "Your father's rules no longer apply."

𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦'𝘴 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘰𝘯.

Bellamy snatched a dark blue shirt from Wells and taunted him by dangling it in front of his face like a piece of candy, "You want it back? Take it." When he only received a silent glare from Wells, he turned to look at Gabriella, as if only now noticing her presence, and gave her a confident smirk "See something you like, Kane?"

She raised an unamused eyebrow, "Cocky much?"

"Very much." he answered without hesitation, taking his time looking at her up and down.

Wells tore Bellamy's attention from the unimpressed blonde and threw the clothes behind him. "Is this what you want? Chaos?"

"What's wrong with a little chaos?" Bellamy asked mockingly and finally threw on a blue shirt.

Before they could argue again, a scream tore through the camp and all the delinquents quickly made their way to the source of the sound. Gabriella did not expect to find her best friend holding a girl above a fire. She didn't know what the hell he was doing, but it did not seem good.

"We want The Ark to think that the ground is killing us, right?" Murphy asked with a vicious grin, "I figured it'd look better if we suffered a bit first."

Gabriella could not deny the fact that he had a point but she did not like the thought of basically torturing the other delinquents.

"Let her go!" Wells yelled and pushed Murphy away, allowing her to quickly get away under his nose. Wells turned his attention to Bellamy, his eyes desperate, "You can stop this."

"Stop this?" Bellamy repeated with a smirk, "I'm just getting started."

Without a warning, Murphy tackled Wells and started punching him. Wells grunted in pain and the cheers coming from the crowd of delinquents around them only made more adrenaline rush through Murphy's veins. The Jaha finally started fighting back and eventually got the upper hand. Once Murphy stopped fighting, his shoulders slumping in defeat, Wells got up and turned to Bellamy. The Blake was standing next to Gabriella who had a blank expression on her face, refusing to lose her cool.

"Don't you see that you can't control this?"

"Don't be so sure about that, Jaha." Gabriella retorted, crossing her arms in front of her chest.

In a blink of an eye, Murphy got up with a knife in his hand that he picked up from the floor and growled, "You're dead."

"Wait." Gabriella said sternly, making Murphy stop and turn to her. She took out a knife she found lying outside of camp earlier and handed it to Wells, her challenging gaze locked solemnly with his. "Fair fight."

She stepped away, but not before giving Murphy a stern look that told him not to actually harm Wells. Her best friend had to blow off some steam and right now, Wells was the best way to do that. She knew Murphy was mad about what happened to his dad but she also knew that he would never actually kill Wells. He was no murderer.

Wells and Sam gave her a look of disbelief before they looked at Bellamy who had a small smirk that he was obviously trying to hide on his face. He hesitantly picked the knife up and turned to the smug-looking John Murphy. He was the first to make a move, which Wells barely dodged. They went back and forth like that for a bit until Murphy took a step further and yelled, "This is for my father!"

Wells eventually got Murphy pressed up against his chest with a knife to his throat and yelled, "Drop it!"

"Wells, that's enough!" Gabriella ordered loudly. When the boy did not listen she stepped closer with a murderous glare and hissed. "I said that's enough."

This time, he did as the blonde told him and dropped the knife to the ground, letting Murphy stumble to Gabriella's side. He snapped out of the anger-fuelled daze that he was in and finally got his shit together. Wells was on the ground for less than forty-eight hours and he already didn't like who he was becoming.

Gabriella saw that Murphy was about to continue the fight and placed a hand on his forearm. She leaned closer and whispered, "Behave, John."

Murphy nodded and Gabriella was about to yell that the show was over, when the Mount Weather group came marching from the woods.

"What the hell is going on here?" Clarke demanded loudly, the look of horror on her face only growing at the scene in front of her.

Gabriella crossed her arms over her chest and stared at her blankly. "Nothing that concerns you, Princess."

Bellamy was quick to notice his sister was limping and leaning against Monty and instantly made his way towards her, his face falling in concern. "Octavia, are you alright?" Once his sister gave him a nod, he turned his attention to the others. "Where's the food?"

"We didn't make it to Mount Weather." Finn simply stated and sat down.

"What the hell happened out there?!" Bellamy yelled, clearly frustrated. He had one job, to keep his sister safe, and she got hurt because he was not there and was dumb enough to let her go explore an unfamiliar planet.

"We were attacked." Clarke announced, making Gabriella furrow her eyebrows.

"Attacked? By what?"

"Not what, who." Finn corrected the blonde, "Turns out, when the last man from the ground died on The Ark, he wasn't the last grounder."

"It's true. Everything we thought we knew about the ground is wrong. There are people here. Survivors. The good thing is that means we can survive. Radiation won't kill us."

"Yeah, but whoever the hell attacked you, probably will?" Gabriella retorted bluntly. She looked around and noticed the group was missing a member. Her breath hitched and her eyes widened. Monty's sad and tired eyes met hers and she hesitated before asking, "Where the hell is Jasper?"

Clarke was the one to answer. "Jasper was hit. They took him."

It was as if Gabriella only just noticed their red puffy eyes and scared expressions and her eyes widened further. "Excuse me?"

The Griffin girl did not hear her though, because she was too busy looking at Wells' now bare wrist, "Where's your wristband?"

Wells made eye contact with Bellamy and spat out, "Ask him."

Everyone's attention turned to Bellamy as Clarke glared at him and took a slow step toward him, "How many?"

"Twenty-four and counting." Murphy said rather smugly, despite the fact that she was not even talking to him.

"You idiots." Clarke sneered, "Life support on The Ark is failing. That's why they brought us down here! They need to know the ground is survivable again. And we need their help against whoever is out there. If you take off your wristbands, you're not just killing them, you're killing us."

"We're stronger than you think. Don't listen to her. She's one of the privileged. If they come down, she'll have it good. How many of you can say the same?" Bellamy turned to the delinquents. "We can take care of ourselves! That wristband on your arm makes you a prisoner. We are not prisoners anymore! They say they'll forgive your crimes, I say you're not criminals! You're fighters. Survivors. The grounders should worry about us!"

Gabriella bit back a smirk at Clarke's pissed-off expression. This was going better than she thought. Her plan at not letting The Ark come down was going perfectly and watching the Griffin girl slowly lose her cool was only making her more amused.

-

Gabriella walked into the dropship to hear Clarke talking to Monty. They were discussing their mission to save Jasper.

"You figure out how to talk to The Ark and I'll bring Jasper back."

"While he does that, I'm coming with you." the Kane girl said, making Clarke turn around with wide eyes.

She looked extremely taken aback, "You are?"

"Of course I am. Jasper's one of my best friends."

Noticing Clarke still had a surprised look on her face, Gabriella huffed and rolled her eyes. "What? I had to have some friends after you and Charming ditched me."

Clarke looked down with a twinkle of both guilt and hurt, rightfully choosing not to say anything else. The uncomfortable silence was broken when Finn walked into the dropship, making Clarke perk up and look up at him with hopeful eyes. "You ready to go?"

"I'm not going anywhere. And neither should any of you." Finn said, looking like he was in disbelief at the mere thought of leaving again. "That spear was thrown with pinpoint accuracy from three hundred feet."

Gabriella scoffed. "I don't remember you being such a coward back on The Ark. What do you want us to do? Just let Jasper die?"

"That's not gonna happen." The other blonde said firmly.

"Good." Gabriella nodded and turned to Clarke. "Follow me, Princess."

The Griffin did as she was told and followed her outside, frowning when she saw that she was leading them toward the Blake siblings. Bellamy was cleaning his sister's wounded leg and the duo walked up just in time to hear him scolding her.

"You could've been killed."

"She would've been if Jasper didn't pull her out." Clarke stated, making Bellamy turn his attention to them.

"You guys are leaving? I'm coming too." the younger brunette quickly said but her brother was not having it.

"No, no. No way. Not again."

"He has a point. Sorry, Little Blake, but I think you're gonna have to sit this one out. Your leg is probably gonna slow us down." Gabriella added, making Octavia frown in disappointment. Then, Gabriella turned her attention to older Blake. "I'm here for you."

"Ella, what are you doing?" Wells asked but she ignored him and pursed her lips, not liking asking anyone ( especially someone like Bellamy ) for favors.

"I saw you have a gun." Gabriella stated. Bellamy looked around camp shortly before lifting up the hem of his shirt to reveal a gun tucked into the waistband of his pants. Gabriella tried not to get distracted by the sight of his bare skin and nodded in approval. "Good. Follow me."

"And why would I do that?"

Gabriella turned back to raise a challenging eyebrow at him "Because you want them to follow you. And you remember what I said about a foreign king? Well, he is gonna go down even quicker once 'his people' see he's not only a fraud but also a coward."

Bellamy clenched his jaw and they held eye contact for a few seconds before he gave her a nod she returned with a smirk. The pair was completely oblivious to Clarke eyeing both of them carefully, obviously seeing the tension she wasn't comfortable with one bit. Gabriella turned to Murphy, who was watching the interaction with narrowed eyes too and gave him a smirk. "You up for a little rescue mission, John?"

"Atom. My sister doesn't leave this camp. Is that clear?" Bellamy told Atom sternly, putting his jacket on in the meantime.

"I don't need a babysitter."

Bellamy ignored his sister and turned to face Atom with a warning scowl. "Anybody touches her and they answer to me."

Gabriella rolled her eyes from beside Murphy and turned on her heel. "Enough with the brooding, Blake. Let's go."

-

"Since when are we in the rescuing business, huh?" Murphy asked Bellamy as soon as he saw his best friend get a little further away.

"The Ark thinks the prince is dead. Once they think the princess is too, they'll never come down." Bellamy turned to Murphy with a knowing smirk. "Our little rebel queen is just a bonus. But I'm not killing that one. I like her." He was quick to notice Murphy's clenched jaw and gave him a pointed look. "Don't try anything funny with her. She's mine."

"Yours?" Murphy couldn't help but scoff.

"What? Jealous, Murphy?" Bellamy taunted.

Both the boys knew Bellamy did not have a romantic attraction to the girl. He just wanted to sleep with her and he knew she would not give in easily. But Bellamy Blake always loved a challenge.

"I'm not jealous. I'm just saying" He narrowed his eyes at the ground, thinking what to say next, "you're not her type."

"We'll see about that soon enough."

-

Once the two boys caught up with the rest of the group, Bellamy made them all stop by jogging up in front of them, swaying the gun in his hand. "Hey, hold up. What's the rush? You don't survive a spear through the heart."

"Put the gun away, Bellamy."

Murphy pushed Wells back with an amused chuckle. "Why don't you do something about it?"

"Jasper screamed when they moved him." Clarke explained, stopping their bickering, "If the spear struck his heart, he'd have died instantly."

Gabriella nodded in approval, "Good, but that doesn't mean we don't have to hurry the hell up."

As the girl was about to turn around, a hand grasped her and Clarke's right wrists. Both blondes turned around to glare at a smirking Bellamy, "As soon as you two take your wristbands off, we can go."

Gabriella snatched her hand from his hold and stepped closer, "Listen here, Freckles. The only way The Ark is gonna think we're dead is if we're dead." Or if I decide to take the wristband off myself "You and your lap dogs can push the kids in camp around all you want but if you touch me again, you're going to be the one losing your hand."

Bellamy only looked amused at her stubbornness, "Brave, Bambi."

Realizing he successfully pissed her off, seeing how she clenched her jaw in annoyance, his smirk grew but it dropped a little once Finn came up to the group from behind the trees.

"You call this a rescue party? Gotta split up, cover more ground." he turned towards Clarke, "Clarke, come with me."

Gabriella glared at the back of their heads once they started to walk away. "Sure, leave Ella with dumb, dumber, and dumbest."

-

The four split so Murphy and Gabriella were walking in the front, while Wells stayed behind with Bellamy. The Blake boy noticed Wells stealing glances at Clarke who was completely focused on her conversation with Finn.

"Guess we got more in common than meets the eye, huh?"

"We have nothing in common." Wells said, not making eye contact with the older male and keeping his gaze locked on the girl he has been in love with his entire life.

Bellamy furrowed his eyebrows with a fake thoughtful frown "No? We both came down here to protect someone we love." When Wells didn't say anything Bellamy kept talking with a knowing smirk. "Your secret's safe with me. Of course, for you, it's worse. With Finn around, Clarke doesn't even see you. It's like you're not even here. And something tells me this is not the first time something like this has happened."

-

In contrast to the intense conversation that Wells and Bellamy were having, Murphy and Gabriella kept laughing and joking around. Murphy let his laughter die down as he stared at the girl next to him with what everyone besides her could see was admiration. "I missed this, you know?"

"Trust me, I did too." the blonde smiled back. "Now we are finally free and won't get separated anytime soon."

Murphy nodded and chuckled breathily. "Don't worry, Ellie. You can't get rid of me that easily." After a minute of comfortable silence, Murphy spoke up again, his eyes narrowed. "What are you planning?"

She gave him an innocent look. "What are you talking about?"

"You obviously don't want to take the wristband off, but I know you don't actually care about what happens to anyone up there. So why keep it on?"

"Because it's pissing Bellamy off and once I finally take it off it will be much more satisfying." she told him with a smirk.

"This is why I keep you around. You are the one who actually thinks stuff through." Murphy chuckled in amusement, wrapping an arm around Gabriella's shoulders casually.

"No, you keep me around because you would not know what to do with yourself without me." she corrected cheekily.

"You're right about that." the boy murmured but she did not hear it because Bellamy yelled from behind them. "We're switching. Murphy, you're with Wells."

"And Bambi," the curly-headed Blake jogged closer, "you're with me."

This should be fun.

-

Bellamy smirked as he looked away from Murphy and at the blonde next to him "You know if Murphy glares at me any harder I think his eyes might pop out of his head."

Gabriella licked her lips and sighed, "He can get...protective."

"If that's what you wanna call it." he scoffed with an amused glint in his voice.

Gabriella felt his stare burning at the side of her face so she turned to him with a glare, "Stop staring."

"I'm not staring, I'm observing." he defended himself, making her scoff.

"It's creepy."

"Most girls would be flattered." he raised an eyebrow.

"Well, I'm too smart to sleep with you just to make your ego bigger and sheets messier." she said bluntly, her words followed by a shrug. "I'm not just gonna drop to my knees the second you give me more than two seconds of your attention."

"Oh, I know." he grinned. "That's why I like you."

"I'm not gonna sleep with you, Blake. Not even the end of the world could get me to do that."

"We'll see about that, Bambi." he mussed, making her glare and snap, "Stop calling me that."

"Why? Does it bother you?" he teased, his satisfaction growing every single time her lips would turn into a scowl or her face would heat up in anger.

"I feel like I'm losing brain cells just by talking to you." she sneered under her breath an quickened her pace, leaving him to watch her walk away while chuckling to himself in the process.

-

"How do we know this is the right way?" Murphy asked once the group came back together. Just now, they were all following Finn.

"We don't. Spacewalker thinks he's a tracker." Bellamy said nonchalantly and mockingly.

"It's called cutting sign. Fourth-year Earth skills. He's good." Wells was quick to defend.

"You wanna keep it down or should I paint a target on your backs?" Finn called back, making Gabriella roll her eyes and mutter sarcastically.

"Aye, aye, captain."

Something on a branch caught Finn's attention so he leaned down to check it out, Clarke hot on his heels. Gabriella turned to face the other three boys and scrunched up her nose while whispering, "If these two keep making googly eyes at each other I'm gonna throw up."

Wells nodded in agreement while the other two couldn't help but snicker at their disgusted expressions. The interaction was interrupted by loud moaning and groaning from nearby, everyone perking up at the sound.

"What the hell was that?"

"Now would be a good time to take out that gun." Clarke told Bellamy and she started to make her way to the source of the sound, followed by everyone else.

The moaning got louder as they came closer and Gabriella couldn't help but gasp at the sight of a beaten-up Jasper hanging on a three.

"Oh, my God. Jasper?" Clarke gasped and picked up her pace to get closer. Gabriella was just about to tell her to slow down when Clarke tripped and fell into a trap.

She sighed in relief when a hand grasped her wrist and she looked up to see Gabriella holding it tightly. The Kane had two choices: she could either let the girl she hated die and get her wristband to do the same, or she could save her and not feel guilty about it and plus save the only person with medical knowledge in camp.

So she chose the second and smarter option, whispering under her breath reassuringly, "Hold on. I got you."

Wells and Finn helped her pull her up and the latter put his hand on Clarke's shoulder, his eyebrows furrowed in worry, "You okay?"

Once the girl nodded and got up, she turned to Gabriella, giving her a thankful nod and a smile. Gabriella just returned her nod and brought her attention to the rest of the group, "We have to get him down."

"I'll come up and cut the vines." Finn suggested.

Wells nodded. "Yeah, I'm with you."

"No. Stay with the girls." Finn shook his head and nodded towards Bellamy- "And watch him." Then, he turned to Murphy, "You. Let's go."

When they started climbing, Clarke squinted her eyes at Jasper, "There's a poultice on his wound."

"Medicine?" Wells furrowed his eyebrows. "Why would they save his life just to string him up as live bait?"

"Maybe they are just trying to catch us." Gabriella suggested and looked around nervously.

Finn and Murphy finally made it to the top of the three when everyone heard growling coming from the bushes.

"What the hell was that?" Murphy was the first to ask, panic lacing his words.

"Grounders?" Bellamy questioned, making Gabriella instantly give him a deadpan look.

"Growling?"

A black panther soon came into sight and Clarke screamed, "Bellamy, gun!"

Bellamy reached for his gun but it wasn't there, instead, the one who started shooting was Wells. He kept shooting, but the panther was still moving around. When he was out of sight, they assumed Wells killed him, until he jumped out of the tall grass and right at Bellamy. The panther dropped dead when Wells finally aimed for the head like he was originally supposed to.

Gabriella glared at Wells, her forehead covered in sweat and her cheeks flushed, "A great way to waste bullets, dumbfuck."

-

The group made it back to camp when the sun fell and it was an understatement to say that Gabriella was exhausted. Despite that, she followed after Finn and Wells who carried Jasper into the dropship.

She turned to Monty who had a terrified look on his face. "Is he . . . "

"He is alive, and he is gonna be fine." Gabriella said warmly and squeezed his shoulder in comfort. Monty let out a sigh of relief and immediately relaxed at her words.

She tuned out the conversation Clarke was having with the boys and turned around to see Bellamy and Murphy trading food from the panther for wristbands. The sight made her clench her jaw. 𝘚𝘰 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘯 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘳𝘬 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦.

Gabriella bit her lip and made her way over and immediately grabbed two pieces of meat. One for her and one for Monty. Before she walked away, Bellamy gave her a harsh glare, "What do you think you're doing?"

"Whatever the hell I want." she shrugged, "Isn't that what you said?"

A/N: How do you like the story and Gabriella so far and who do you ship her with for now?
