"Anya!" I shout for my commander, before swiftly dismounting Jet. I grab the unconscious Murphy from the back of Jet and slide him off allowing him to land with a thud on the ground. I gave up with his constant talking so I knocked him out by smacking his head off the trunk of the nearest tree and he hasn't woke up since.

I turn away from Murphy's crumpled body and see Anya standing in front of me. "Who is this?" Anya looks at me in confusion, "it's a sky person commander. He has been banished from his camp." I inform her smirking which receives some mutters from the crowd that has formed around us. "Ahman!" Anya suddenly shouts taking everyone by surprise, "take this boy away and lock him up." Anya's voice is strong as she instructs her body guard what is to happen with Murphy.

"You did well, Lexa." Anya tells me proudly as she rests her hand on my shoulder before strutting away. I look behind me with sad eyes as I watch Ahman take Murphy's limp body on his arms suddenly regretting my decision to bring him here.

I sigh as I begin walking to my hut preparing myself for some time to relax.

"Lexa!" I groan as my nap is rudely interrupted when Anya shouts my name.

I swiftly stand to my feet and dress myself. As I walk out my hut I grab some weapons on my way before jogging over to Anya.

"Yes Commander?" I question her but she is too busy staring at the sky to look at me, I panic and stare at the sky also and I see another machine fall from the sky, are they bringing reinforcements?

"Go," Anya tells me as I continue to look at the metal ball of fire. "You must go." Anya repeats almost in shock that there is more of their people on the ground now. I nod before jogging to the entrance of my camp. "Jet!" I shout for my black stallion as I become nervous at the thought that the new machine contains another hundred people.

I quickly mount Jet, "come on," I mutter to him and he takes off through the woods as I weave him between the trees. I slowly come to a halt as I watch the machine. Jet starts to get inpatient so I easily dismount him and walk towards the smoking metal.

I carefully walk around the machine to the entrance, it's much smaller than the one at the sky people's camp so it must only contain a small amount of people. I slowly pry the door open with a groan and look inside, there is just one person, a girl. She lays there with an white suit on and some helmet, I remove the helmet and see blood coming from a cut on her head.

I frantically climb into the machine and press two fingers to her neck looking for a pulse. When I successfully find it I breath a sigh of relief and get to work on her wound. I retrieve a cloth from my pocket and wipe the wet blood away from the wound to let me see what I am dealing with.

Once her head injury has been dealt with I step out of the machine and look around. I walk backwards from the ship hoping to find something. I frown as I begin to feel like I'm being watch, I start to turn around but gasp when someone grabs me from behind and holds a knife to my throat.

The person works fast and holds me up against the nearest tree with the knife still to my throat. I look up and see that it's Bellamy. "Who are you and why are you here?" He asks me clearly confused and scared. I stand there stunned, I don't know if I should talk or not. Anya always warns us not to speak if we come across someone new so they thing we cannot talk their language or talk at all.

"What were you doing to her?!" He shouts getting angry, I've already broken that rule once so I might as well break it again. "I was helping her." My voice is hoarse from not being used in a while and from having a knife pinned to my neck.

Bellamy thinks about this for a while, looking over at the girl with medication on her wound. "Who are you?" He asks jabbing the knife into my neck harder, "Lexa, I am Lexa." I tell him and he's silent, "and your Bellamy." I tell him and his eyes widen, "how do you know my name?" He yells once again pressing the knife deeper into my neck but I refuse to show any sign of pain.
