My eyes open and I immediately study my surroundings.

My brother still stands there tied up, a rusty nail shoved through his hand, his torso bruised and swollen.

I look at my attire. No shirt. Only a bra. Great. The scars that litter my torso are on full display, along with my tattoos.

"You don't have the same tattoos as him. Why" A boy that looks like Octavia says. It's just then do I realize she's not here.

I stand still at his words and he swings the seat belt at me. It hits my ribs harshly and I meet his eyes.

At least they had the decency to keep my hood up.

I watch him. I study his movements.

He's doing this because he can. He's not doing this for a purpose. Loud banging is heard on the door and my eyes continue to watch him. Right as the door opens is when he hits my abdomen again.

The sound of the metal whipping at my ribs echos through the floor and the person who enters lets out a sob.

"NOOOOO! BELLAMY NOOOO!" A feminine voice cry's out. Octavia.

He hits me again at that and the raven haired teen girl lunges forwards. I grunt as he hits the same spot.

I shake my head at her. I've become quite fond of her.

He glares at his little sister. I put two and two together. Same features, the way that he looks at her also gives it away.

He looks at her like she's his sister.

She runs in front of me when he raises the metal seat belt again.

"Move out of the way" I tell her lowly, making sure they can't hear me.

She finally takes a good look at me and her eyes stare at my toned stomach. She traces the bruises that are already forming when she's violently yanked away from me.

Bellamy forces his sister to leave while him and the rest of his goons follow. Not long after does Octavia reappear. She looks nervous. She snuck in here.

The hatch opens again and the blonde comes up.

I watch as Octavia cleans Lincoln's wounds. They like each other.

The blonde makes her way towards me and I tense.

She grabs a damp clothe and begins to wipe the dirt and grime off of my exposed skin. I flinch away and look at Octavia.

"She's okay, I promise. Clarke won't hurt you" Octavia tell me, a smile gracing her face. I look back at the blonde and she continues.

"What are you, the grounder whisperer" Clarke mocks quietly.

I tilt my head.

"I've been teaching her to fight. I would watch what you say. I could kill you in hundreds of ways right now" I spit at Clarke, hating how she talked about the girl I considered my friend.

"Oh yeah. How many of those could you do tied up with no weapons" the blonde smirks.

"You thought I was talking about how many ways I could kill you while free with weapons? Blondies funny" I tease, looking over at Octavia and Lincoln.

"I could kill you a thousand different ways if I was free. I would watch what you say, sky girl. You never know what tomorrow will have in store for you" I continue, glaring at her with cold eyes.

My eyes flash a gold and she gulps.

That's something I picked up when I was younger. My eyes flash a gold when I'm angry.

"Clarke, you should go. You know, before you get your head bit off" Octavia ushers the blonde down the ladder and moves to finish cleaning my dirty skin. Once she finishes, she wishes us farewell and leaves down the ladder.

Lincoln and I are once again left in an awkward silence.

The next day, the raven haired teen comes up the ladder, handing Miller, one of Bellamys dogs a packet of nuts. Nuts that will make you hallucinate. I know what she's doing.

She's trying to break us out of here.

I debate my options and make my decision. I can't leave.

They'll know it was her if I leave.

She hands Lincoln a hoodie, untying him.

He holds himself up on the wall.

"Lincoln. Take this. Find my camp. 36 N. 28 W. Give this to the wolves." I explain as I hand him one of my gloves. They'll get the right people.

They'll get my sister.

They'll get Anya.

And then I'll be in debt to her.

I'll owe her a favor. 

I'll have to do something for her.

I didn't want to do this.

But I can't put Octavia in danger.

Octavia. You're doing this for her.

It's settled.

I just hope my sister doesn't burn down the forest just to get here. My sister.........

As much as I wanted to say I didn't, I did in fact have a sister.

And she would do whatever it would take to get me out of here.
