Chapter 7 Summary: “Bellamy”
The next morning, Bellamy stands guard over Octavia and watches the sunrise, amazed at the sky’s beauty. He plans to keep his distance from the other kids until he figures out which ones are actually criminals. Since Octavia was arrested for stealing food for hungry kids, Bellamy is sure that others were also unjustly convicted of crimes, and it infuriates him that “his selfless little sister was sentenced to die for having too big of a heart” (71). Clarke comes to check on Bellamy and Octavia, and Bellamy apologizes for threatening Clarke while she was helping last night. Clarke thinks it will be a week or two before Octavia’s sprained ankle fully heals. Bellamy wishes that it would heal sooner so that he and Octavia can get away from the other kids and finally be free of the lives they left behind on the colony.
