Let the sky fall

When it crumbles

We will stand tall

Face it all together

Clarke, Skye, and Finn walk through the woods to the meeting place that the Grounder Lincoln set up.

Clarke sighs, looking over at Finn. "I'd love it if you were right about this, but did you ever consider it might be a trap?"

Finn shrugs. "Yep, but since it's Unity Day, I decided to have hope instead."

Skye shakes her head at him. "You're putting a lot of faith into someone who stuck a knife in you."

"And you're sounding more and more like Bellamy." He says.

She opens her mouth and immediately shuts it. "I'm just trying to keep us alive." She says after a moment.

He glances at her. "So am I."

Clarke and Finn walk ahead, and Skye slowly reaches into her pocket, pulling out a handful of jobi nuts. The food that caused the hallucinations back at camp and the supply depot. She drops a couple onto the dirt, glancing behind her.

Bellamy, Raven, and Jasper all follow the trio quietly, with guns. Skye couldn't take any chances.

They get to the meeting spot. It's a bridge. Octavia is standing on the bridge, alone. Lincoln comes through the trees and the two embrace, tenderly,

Skye has the smallest hint of a smile on her face. "So that's how you set this up." She says glancing at Finn.

She comes to the realization that Octavia let the Grounder go. They obviously have some form of a relationship. Bellamy probably isn't going to be too happy about that.

Rustling comes from the other side of the woods, across the bridge. Suddenly a few masked men on horses come through the trees. A woman with heavy eye makeup is also with them.

"Hey." Finn starts. "We said no weapons." The Grounders on the horses are holding various knives and spears.

Lincoln looks confused. "I was told there wouldn't be."

Skye inhales deeply. "It's too late now."

She takes a step forward and Clarke starts to follow her, but Lincoln holds out his arm to block the blonde. "She goes alone."

Skye turns back to face her little sister. "I'll be fine." She glances at the others standing on the bridge. "It's time to do better."

She slowly walks to the center of the bridge to be met with the woman.
