Raven revealed that Mount Weather jammed our signal; we haven't heard from the stations that landed on Earth along with the Ark. We needed to get the signals back to communicate with them again and taking down the radio tower by Mount Weather would help us find the other stations.

Abby, "our baby sitter" led a few of us including the guards up the mountain as we look for the radio towers. Although I was still angry with her for hitting Raven, I tried cooperating. As I hiked up the mountain, I walked with Finn. 'Are you alright?'

'Not really. I don't even know if I'll be alive in a few days.'

'Don't say that, please.'

Finn shrugged, 'Y/N, they might float me and the thing is, I deserve it.'

'I'm sure there's a way we can get you out of this.'

'There isn't. I need to face my consequences.'

I looked over at my best friend, he didn't seem bothered at all. 'Please don't give up, Finn.'

'I'm not giving up, I'm facing the facts.'

Tugging his shirt, I stopped in front of him. 'Finn, I'm serious.'

He stared right back at me, his eyes slightly showed fear. 'Y/N, I'm sorry. I just don't see how I can escape this.'

I hugged Finn, 'I'm going to find a way, I promise.'

Finn hugged me back, 'I love you, Y/N. You're the best.'

His tone of voice sounded sad; I didn't want him to give up. People made mistakes and there were always ways to make up for it. Even though what he did wasn't right at any circumstances, he needed to know that there can be solutions to his consequences. No matter what he did, I believed in my best friend.

Suddenly, Abby stopped and looked around. 'Where's Bellamy and Octavia?'

'Aren't you supposed to be watching us?' I said sarcastically.

Abby ignored me and ordered the guards to look for them. As we saw the guards run into the woods, the acid fog started closing in on us. Panicked flushed in my mind and I quickly ran as fast as I can. There was a bunker and I went straight in there, along with a friend.

Clarke closed the hatch behind her climbing down the ladder, barely making it before the acid fog caught up to us. Her eyes then turned to the dead grounder that was bloody, lying on the floor.

'Uhm, we interrogated him when we were looking for you and the others. He had your watch.'

'Who did this to him?' Clarke asked curiously, shaken up about the grounder that had been shot.

'Finn.'

She slowly nodded, trying to take in the change that affected Finn.

'So uhm did you and Finn used to come here often? Finn brought us in here when we brought him in. We've never been in this bunker before.'

'Yeah.' She admitted. 'Y/N, I never apologized for me and Finn.'

'I'm not the person you should be apologizing to. Besides, you didn't know. It's all Finn's fault and he knows that.'

Clarke nodded, still thinking about his behavior. 'Funny how things can change so quickly.'

'I'm sorry I couldn't stop Finn from shooting him. It was just so sudden.'

Clarke shook her head, 'Finn knew what he was doing. He shouldn't have done the things he's done.'

After several hours of waiting for the acid fog to pass by, we finally got out of the bunker. Clarke and I went back on the trail, trying to reunite with Raven, Finn and Abby.

'Mom.' Clarke shouted as she found Abby, sprinting towards her and hugging her.

'Where's Blake and Octavia?' I asked the others.

Raven shook her head, 'We don't know.'

It's been too long since they've been gone. Not only were they by their selves in the woods where grounders can ambush them at any time but the acid fog could've taken them as well. After leaving things the way I did with Bellamy, I felt regret.

'Hey, I'm sure they're fine.' Raven comforted me.

'Did you guys take down the radio tower?' Clarke questioned them.

'We didn't have to.' Raven responded. 'I figured a way to listen to Mount Weather.'

Clarke had a confused look on her face, 'Wait but what about the other Ark stations.'

Abby cut in, 'One thing we know for sure is that we have to save the kids in Mount Weather. For all we know people didn't survive from the other stations.'

The sudden movements in the woods made all of us turn around. Aiming the gun and getting ready to fire, Jaha came out. He looked like he had been tortured and haven't been eating for days; he was practically about to pass out. 'I have a message from the grounders...' Jaha mumbled as he fell to the ground. 'We have 2 days to leave or we die.'

As we all stood outside of Camp Jaha for a meeting, Abby and Jaha announced our fate. Abby took a step forward, 'We can't leave the kids in Mount Weather.'

'And we can't stay here and get ourselves killed.' Jaha argued.

'Until further notice, we don't know what we're doing yet.' Abby confirmed.

'But pack your belongings just in case we need to leave. Dismissed.' Jaha ended the meeting and the crowd scrambled around, going back to what they were doing before.

Still looking for Bellamy, I turned everywhere in the crowd but there were no signs of him. What had come up that he couldn't come back to camp? Or maybe him and Octavia did get stuck outside with the acid fog. All negative thoughts hit my mind as I felt a tap on my shoulder. 'Reyes, I need to tell yo-'

Recognizing the voice, I turned around and hugged him tightly. 'You're okay...'

'Of course I'm okay.' He chuckled as he hugged me back.

'You were gone for a long time... I thought something bad happened to you.'

Bellamy pulled away and smirked. 'Ah, you care about me?'

'Of course I do.'

He gave a slight smile, as I smiled back he remembered what he needed to tell me. 'So uhm, I need to take you to the dropship now.'

'The dropship? Why?'

'It's Lincoln... he turned into a reaper.'
