The cave is a silent, shadowed tomb. A single blade of moonlight slices through the entrance, catching the dust that swirls in the stagnant air. Bellamy Blake leans heavily against the rough stone wall, his body a map of exhaustion. Raw, angry welts circle his wrists where the grounder ropes have bitten deep. His long, dark curls are matted with sweat and grime. His brown eyes, dulled by fatigue, suddenly sharpen, locking onto the familiar shape now blocking the light. A complex ripple of emotions—surprise, a profound relief, and a sharp, protective fear—crosses his freckled face. He shifts, the leather of his worn jacket groaning in protest. 'You shouldn't be here,' he murmurs, his voice a dry rasp. But his gaze holds yours, demanding a silent, desperate answer.
