"Ray, somethings happening outside come look" Octavia lightly shook me excitedly and ran out of our shared tent, I pulled my boots on and followed after her.

"Check it out." Some kid shouted pointing up to the sky, my eyes followed where he was pointing and saw a pod flying closer to earth heading a roar as it got closer to earth.

"Bellamy get out here!" Octavia shouted watching in amazement. "They're coming to help us. Now we can kick some grounder ass." Jones shouted causing everyone to whoop in happiness.

"Please tell me they brought down some shampoo." I looked over to see Roma standing next to some other girl staring as the pod landed, I rolled my eyes. After everything that's happened and she is worried about shampoo.

Bellamy had gathered a group to meet in a tent over looking a map as they spoke about where the pod could be, "If it cleared the ridge than it's probably near the lake." A kid told us pointing where he thought the pod was.

I nodded my head in agreement, "We should get moving. Everyone's ready." Octavia said looking at Bellamy "No one's going anywhere. Not while it's dark it isn't safe. We'll head out at first light; pass the word." Bellamy spoke authoritatively the kid next to Bellamy nodded and headed out to let everyone know the plan.

I sighed and left Octavia and Bellamy alone, I walked to Octavia and I's tent to grab my gear and headed out of my tent and went into the tent where the map was, I over looked it for a minute or two before nodding my head confident I knew where I would be heading.

Just as I was about to sneak out of camp I saw Octavia moving to the same small space in the wall we built as I was, she looked up and smiled at me "Great minds think alike." I nodded "Damn right."

                 ...........................................

"Bellamy! What are you doing?" Octavia shouted at her brothers figure from up ahead causing him to whip around and sigh at the sight of us, "Go back to camp. It isn't safe." Bellamy told us as Octavia and I got closer to him.

"You lied to everyone. You lied to us. You lied to me." Octavia said hurt "You just want whatever's in that pod." She said angry. Bellamy walks over to us and shoves Octavia and I back "Just go home!" "You always want to play big brother, huh? Well, guess what? Jokes on me. You're just a selfish dick." Octavia shouted eying Bellamy up and down.

"I did this for you! To protect you. If the Ark finds out we're alive, they'll come down. And when they do...I'm dead." Bellamy said desperately, my brows furrowed in confusion "Why would you be dead when they come down?" I asked stepping toward him.

"What did you do?" Octavia asked scared.

Bellamy looked at Octavia and I before swallowing "I shot him. I shot Jaha." My eyes widened. "What?" Octavia asked shocked.

"I found out they were sending you to Earth. I couldn't let you go alone. Someone came to me with a deal. Do this, kill him, and they'd get me on the dropship. And I did it." Bellamy told us while looking at the ground then to Octavia and I.

I felt Octavia step away from Bellamy, "You killed the chancellor?" "He floated our mother. He locked you up. He deserved it." Bellamy stated weakly defending himself, I eyed Octavia and watched as she slowly shook her head "I didn't ask you to do that."

Bellamy nodded at her words "You're right. I made the choice. This is on me. Whatever they sent down, I'll take care of it." Octavia scoffed "I didn't ask for any of this. Come one." She said pulling my arm along with her.

Octavia let go and walked away slowly, I looked at Bellamy sadly "I'm going to follow her, make sure she makes it back to camp safely" Bellamy nodded "Thank you, firefly." And with that I turned around and jogged to catch up with Octavia.

             ...........................................

Octavia and I trekked through the forest in silence, we stopped suddenly when we heard a twig snapped we looked at one another in fear and took off running, we held hands so we didn't lose one another Octavia was in the lead and I was following after her.

We ran down and stopped when we saw a deep ravine but the snapping continued after us, we had no other choice but to run down the ravine, Octavia slipped and I tripped on Octavia causing us to fall and tumble down the ravine.

All I felt was pain every part of my body landing harshly on the ground hitting every rock in my path, when I landed my head a rock causing my vision to blur I looked beside me and saw Octavia before hearing her utter my name out but before I could respond I was blunged into darkness.

              .........................................

I wake up hearing a roar and a bunch of crackling after causing me to wake up and squint seeing purple streaks in the sky. I winced in pain feeling it shoot through my whole body before I saw Octavia's body lying next to me.

Hissing with pain and crawled over to her shaking her awake, I heard more noises but was too busy trying to get Octavia awake, I shook her one more time "Octavia, come on get up." I said she stirred and looked up but the look on her face made me freeze as I slowly turned around.

A grounder. Slowly stood up eyeing us intently the colors shooting into the sky illuminating over him making him that much more scarier.
