It had been an hour since they left camp, and already their legs were aching. Eliza didn't want to stop at all, her mind was eager and curious. Joseph and Hannah walked behind her.

"Surely we should rest. It's been an hour since we've left. My feet are killing me!" Hannah was always the one to moan. She would moan about phones, exercise, no education, the list goes on, but Joseph on the other hand was polite and trustworthy. That was one of the reasons she liked him so much.

"We aren't stopping until we find something." Eliza said with weakness in her voice. She was too tried to go on too, but she wasn't going to stop.

"Why did we leave in the first place?" Joseph lifted his head up, as if he had an idea. "My dad told me that there was a place close by called 'mount weather'-"

"No!" Hannah interrupted. "Do you have any idea what they did there? They killed people, from our camp and the grounders! We are not going there." Her voice was sharp with anger. Eliza knew what had happened there. Joseph's eyes closed as he sat down on a tree. His father, Jasper, had lost the one he loved because of Clarke and Bellamy. But that didn't mean he hated them, or Eliza. "I say we should go.

Everyone there is dead, so there won't be anything dangerous."

"I agree, I don't forgive my parents for what they did, but we need to find shelter." Eliza headed towards 'Mount Weather', she had seen the outside of the base before, so she knew where it was.

2 hours later, Eliza, Joseph and Hannah were still walking in the same direction. Nothing had happened since they left.

Suddenly, there was a glimpse of wood through the trees, there was something glowing next to it.

"What's that?" Eliza asked, pointing to the glowing object 50 meters away. "It looks like there's something there." Before anyone could answer, she ran towards the glow. Twigs snapping as her fragile feet stumbled across them.
Joseph and Hannah ran too, they didn't know what was going on until they got closer to the light.

As they reached the glow, the wood next to it seemed to be a building (or a hut). But there wasn't one, there were dozens in a circle.
