Raven's screaming echoed through the camp. Natalia clamped her hand onto Bellamy's arm as hard she could, trying not to cry. Even with everything Raven and Bellamy had done, Raven was still her friend. And Natalia still cared.
Murphy pulled his arms up, covering his ears. "That was me in the grounder camp." He mumbled. "I did everything I could not to scream but eventually-"
"Stop," Natalia spoke, both boys looking over to her. "What?"
"You caused her that pain. You shot her. You shot me. So now you get to listen to that pain." Murphy chuckled, "No one listened to my pain when I was being tortured."
"Because we didn't know you, asshole."
He scoffed, looking down at her stiff leg, "What, and you wouldn't have broken in that situation?"
"Damn right," Bellamy interjected. Murphy smiled.
"I'm not a traitor." Bellamy looked to the other boy. "I didn't tell them where they could find us."
"And I did." Natalia scoffed, wiggling her hands slightly, the wire cuffs loosening. "Yeah. I did. After they tortured me in their prison camp for three days." Another scream from Raven echoed through the camp. "But go ahead, keep believing. Even if you two are in here just like me."
*Hours later*
"We are nothing like you, John." Natalia stood, her wrists slipping from the now broken cuffs, Murphy's eyes widening. "You killed Charlotte. You hung Bellamy. You shot me. You shot Raven. You killed Myles. You brought the disease into camp that killed more than a dozen of us." At this point, she was crouching down at his eye level. Natalia slipped her hand into her boot, pulling out a small dagger.
Murphy closed his eyes, feeling the cold blade touching his jaw. "Your torture is nothing compared to what you've done to other people." And like that, Natalia stood, walking over to Bellamy, cutting his binds from his sore wrists. Finn ran through the air-pressurized door, "Get up. We're going after them." Bellamy stood, leaning down to Natalia's ear. "Couldn't have done that earlier?"
"Better late than never." She stated, tucking the dagger back in, gathering the weapons that Finn had brought. They started to walk out, Monroe signaling it was clear.
"Hey, Whoa, Hey. Wait." Murphy shouted, "What about me?"
"What about you?" Natalia smirked.
Finn and Bellamy glanced at each other, Finn shaking his head no. Bellamy picked up the wire cutters Finn had brought. Murphy scooted back as far as he could.
"Wait, no." Finn shouted, "What are you doing?!" Bellamy gave him a look, bending down to cut the wire, holding Murphy's hands to the pole. "He's coming with us."
"Are you crazy?!" Natalia boomed, standing slightly further from her ex-boyfriend. "He's been to the grounder camp."
"So has Nat," Finn spoke up. "He's not coming with us," Natalia ordered, holding her knife in front of her.
"Hey, Sterling just signaled. Someones coming." Monroe warned.
"Alright," Finn mumbled, running out with Murphy in front of him. Natalia scoffed, walking away before Bellamy gripped her arm. "He can help." The redhead nodded, "Every time you take one step forward. You seem to take ten steps right back."
"You don't think anyone saw us?" Bellamy asked, walking around a back section of the ark. "Shhh. Keep it down." Finn whispered.
"He's right. We did have to stop for grounder princess's horse and all." Murphy snapped, suddenly feeling the familiar cold blade on his neck.
"I wouldn't leave Calida. See, I'm loyal. I know you don't understand that emotion."
Natalia removed the blade from his neck, sticking it back in her thigh holster. The group walked through the trees, Natalia trotting on the white horse. Suddenly a flashlight shone in their eyes. Two people in front of them.
"Your late," Abby spoke. "Bellamy decided to bring company. And your daughter wanted her horse."
"We now have two people who've been in their camp," Bellamy informed, looking up to Natalia for a moment. Then, the guard looked to Abby, who was handing a gun to Finn. She pulled another one out, handing it to Monroe.
"Here." The guard pulled his, handing it to Bellamy, "Find my son. His name is Nathan Miller." Miller's dad handed his rifle to Sterling.
Bellamy nodded, stepping out of the way when Natalia jumped down from Calida. The redhead walked up to her mother. "I'll find Clarke. I promise." Abby nodded, pulling her daughter's body into hers. Wrapping her arms around her. Natalia stilled for a moment, eventually wrapping her arms around her mother as well.
They finally parted, Abby, attempting to hand Nat a gun. "I don't need it."
"Oh, I know," Abby spoke, handing an extra to Bellamy. "This one is for you." She pulled Natalia's bow and arrow's from a nearby rock. Nat smiled, swinging the quiver over her shoulder. Then, jumping back up on her horse, the group started to make their way into the dark woods.
Abby walked past them, looking back, "Bring them home."
Bellamy pushed Murphy forwards. The smaller boy attempts not to get his foot stepped on by the horse's hoof. "Lead the way, Nat."
"I will. But first, we need to make a pitstop."
