"Do you think she's ok Bell?" Octavia asked.

"I do, O. She's strong and a survivor like you. I'm going hunting later so I will Look for her then as well."

"I hope she's ok. I barely know her since she was taken so young but I want to know her so bad. She's my twin, my other half." O stated sadly.

"I know sis." Bell stated sadly and hugged her. "We will get her back" Bell gets up and walks to the woods.

You could hear jasper moaning in the background and could see how it affected the camp.

"That damn kid, always messing with my head." Murphy stated as he was throwing a knife into a tree. 

"He's not gonna last much longer. Better think of a new excuse." Bellamy said as he threw his axe into the tree actually getting it to stick. "that's how its done"

"We searched a half-mile all directions. No sign of Trina or Pascal." Atom stated as he and some others walked up to them. 

"Visit your special tree when you were out there?" Murphy said slyly.

"Atom took his punishment. Let it go." Bell said looking at Murphy annoyed at his childish teasing. 

"Could be Grounders."

"Yeah, or they could be in pound town. Lot of that going around recently."

"Look, Bellamy, people are scared, and that dying kid, he's not helping the morale around here."

"Morale will go up when I find them more food."

"And what do we say when they ask about Trina and Pascal?"

"Now? Nothing. It's possible they're just lost. We'll keep an eye out for them when we go hunting later."

"Let's go kill something." Murphy said excitedly.

"You're not going." Bell stopped him."I need you to stay here. If the Grounders are circling, we can't leave this place unprotected."

"Fine. Somebody better tell goggle boy to keep it shut."

Gwen woke up after having the best sleep she has ever had. She stretched and looked out the window in amazement. It was truly beautiful here, but she knew she had to get back to Bellamy and Octavia. She appreciated Anya's kindness but she was still kidnapped. She needed an escape route. She looked out the window and thought how impossible it would be to climb down so that option was off the table. She opened the door and looked down the hall. 

Walking down the hall she looked at the walls and structures around her. The architecture was incredible. Since being locked up she's learned to appreciate all the nice things in life no matter how small. she found what she thinks is an exit and walks out to the streets. she looks around and looks for a way to the woods. Once she gets to the woods she hopes no one has seen her, that's the last thing she needs. she walks further into the woods heading anywhere but back to where she was taken. 

Suddenly Gwen smells a sent that was off and looked behind her to see a mist of yellow. she knew that something was wrong she she ran knowing she needed shelter. she ran as fast as she could till she reached a cave and went deep into it. As she was walking backwards into the cave making sure the mist didn't get her she bumped into someone. She turned around in shock praying it wasn't Anya or her second. She turned around slowly and looked at the man. He had a deeper skin tone and a not so friendly look on his face. She backed up towards a wall of the cave holding her hands up in surrender.

"I mean no harm!" She stated kindly. "Just waiting for the mist to clear." He nodded as if he understood but if he was part of Anya's group I knew he used another language. I tried to remember back to when I was captured but I can't remember any words but Heda. She kept thinking.

"I am Skaikru" she states remembering that word. "My name is Gwendolyn"

"Lincoln." he states. His face changed, he looked friendly now.

"Nice to meet you Lincoln" she smiled. We sit there for awhile waiting out the fog. She didn't realize how long we were there till she woke up realizing she fell asleep. There was a blanket over her and Lincoln was there watching her.

"Thank you" Gwen said in appreciation. "You could have told me to get out and not let me stay. I appreciate it."

Lincoln smiled kindly. "I wouldn't let you die" Gwen smiled at this.

"I owe you Lincoln." she said and held out her hand for him to shake but was surprised when he pulled her in for a hug. 

"You are kind. Don't let people take you for granted, strisis."

She looked at him in shock. "That's the language Anya used" 

"You've met Anya?" he questioned.

"Yeah, one of her men captured me and took me to her town. I was escaping when the mist hit."

"Why would she take you? She didn't want to attack yet. She wanted Skaikru to attack first."

"I'm not sure. Could you teach me some of the language?" Gwen asked changing the subject.

"I suppose it wouldn't hurt." He smiled. "But lets get you back to your camp now that the fog has cleared. Then we can plan to meet another day to learn and train."

"That fog what was it it?"

"Acid fog. It comes from mount weather and it could kill you." He says as he walks to the entrance of the cave. "Now pay attention to how we get to your camp so you know how to get back to my cave for lessons."

We walked through the forest and I paid attention to the trails we took. It wasn't long until we were almost at the camp.

"This is as far as I can go but it is a straight shot to your camp." He said stopping.

"Thank you Lincoln. You have helped me more than you know."

"We can meet in two days time so you don't raise suspicion from your peers, strisis."

Gwen smiled and gave him a hugged as she headed back to see her siblings. She was back.
