Pragma: Who have we become

She wont return

Rachel walks over to the gate with no supplies or gear to protect herself. "Open the gate." When no one moves she yells instead. "I SAID OPEN THE DAMN GATE." Once the gate was open she took off towards Lincolns cave. She needed to be alone.

Bellamy saw that Tani was tearing up. "Tani please don't cry. I didn't mean to make you cry. I meant to say that earlier but couldn't bring myself say it." Bellamy pulls her closer and picks her up and walks to his tent.

Lincoln heard Rachel raising her voice and saw her leave through the gate. He knew she probably needed space but it wasn't safe out there, so he took the tunnels, the one closest that led out to the fox hole towards his cave, this way she'd have her privacy but he could still protect her.

Tani let out a small laugh and shook her head when he asked her not to cry "It's okay, they're happy tears" she told him. When Bellamy picked her up she wrapped her arms gently around him to hold on, leaning her head against him.

Rachel knows she wont return for a while needing a break from her family. She feels someone watching her. "Lincoln I can feel you watching me come out."

Bellamy carry's Tani to his tent. He grabs her tight  as he unzips his tent. "Are you sure you wanna sleep in here with me?" he asks setting her down on the bed. He grabs her hands and kisses them.

Lincoln was good at hiding and keeping out of sight, usually.  He smiled to himself hearing what Rachel said "I wasn't trying to hide from you, but it's dangerous out here Rachel, I wanted to give you your space and protect you at the same time" he said as he came out of hiding.

Tani looks up at him and gently squeezes his hands, she felt awful for her accusations at him earlier.  "It's the safest place I can be" she told him.

"Lincoln come here. I want to be away from my family not you." Rachel turns around and jumps into Lincolns arms. " I love you i want to be around you always." She grabs his face roughly and kisses him deeply

Bellamy lays down next to Tani and kisses her forehead. " Im glad i can keep you in a place that makes you feel safe." He pulls her closer to him and makes sure to hold her tight. He rocks Tani very faintly. He starts singing quietly. "Keep this love in a photograph..." he feels her heart stop racing and calm down. When he thinks she is asleep he says " I love you Tani of Trikru."
