(BELLAMY P.O.V.)

I go through hell as the mountain men do everything that Lincoln described. It eventually becomes unbearable and I pass out. The last thing I see before darkness is August's face. I think about how I should have told her that I loved her before I left.

(AUGUST P.O.V.)

That morning before going to find Indra, I put on all my weapons including my bow and quiver

That morning before going to find Indra, I put on all my weapons including my bow and quiver. I also put on face paint to blend in with the grounders better. Indra received news that Clarke and Abby are coming back today.

"We should scout the area. There could be mountain men," I suggest to Indra after she told me about Clarke. She nods and Octavia walks up.

"Let's go," Indra says before her, Octavia, another warrior and I leave camp. We start scouting around the area where Clarke and Abby would be coming. I take to using the trees. We come near two mountain men with a gun aimed at Clarke and the others. Indra nods at me while I take my bow off my back and notch an arrow. I shoot the mountain man with the gun which causes him to fire but he misses his mark. Though he missed his mark, he still hit a grounder. The other mountain man gets up to run away but Octavia comes at him from the other side.

"No," Indra says as a grounder goes to help Octavia. "Her kill." I jump out of the tree and stand beside Indra. Octavia is able to slice the mountain man's suit open. "Finish it." Octavia brings her sword to the mountain man's neck.

"Octavia, no," Clarke yells as she rides towards us. "He's from Mount Weather. We need to keep him alive. Check to see if he's got a patch kit." Octavia looks at me and I nod. She lets the mountain man go before looking through the mountain men's things. "We've got to get him back to camp." Octavia goes through his pack and pulls something out.

"What is that?" I ask her as she and I walk over to Clarke.

"Clarke," Octavia says as we reach Clarke. "You, Aug, and Lexa were the targets." Octavia shows a picture of me, Clarke, and Lexa. We each have a red circle around our head.

"We have to warn the commander," Indra says. "Sen op oso mou snap hosa gon Tondisi. Nau!" A grounder rides away to send the fastest rider to warn Lexa.

(BELLAMY P.O.V.)

I wake up and find August laying next to me. She looks so beautiful as she sleeps. She rolls over and smiles at me.

"I love you," August says with a smile before pulling me in for a kiss. I open my eyes and she's gone. I didn't say it back. I walk outside to find August on her knees. Her hands bound behind her back. She looks at me with a glare. "You did this to me. You never loved me."

"No. I lo...." I go to say but there is a gunshot and August falls to the ground.

"August!" I say as I jolt awake and see that it was just a dream. I find myself in the real nightmare. I'm in a cage, surrounded by more cages. I start tugging on the door trying to get it to open.
