___
Deep in the forest, under the fog
Armies surround us, waiting for dark
Wearing their iron, masks like shield
I know they're coming, I know they're here

Minutes later, dozens of teens flood out the gates of the drop ship camp. Bellamy and Skye stand side by side watching them leave.
She notices the look on his face and gently grabs his hand, holding it. "You did good here, Bellamy."
He doesn't meet her gaze. "18 dead."
"82 alive. You did good."
He looks at her with a small smile. "I couldn't have done it without you."
She scoffs. "Okay."
"I'm serious."
He brushes a strand of hair from her face. She feels a hint of blush creep on her cheeks. "Let's go." He whispers.
She nods and he grabs a bucket of water and puts out the fire burning beside them.

The teens make light conversations as they trek further into the woods. Suddenly Octavia holds her hand up, silencing them.
"Why are we stopping?" Miller whispers.
Finn shakes his head. "I don't know."
Raven tilts her head up from the makeshift stretcher she's on. "I don't see anything."
A branch snaps and a knife soars through the air, directly into the face of one of the delinquents. Jasper screams. "Grounders!!!"
Bellamy grabs Skye's arm and pulls her back as everyone retreats back to camp. "Go, go, go!"
They quickly make the way back inside the gates and shut them. Silence follows leading to mass confusion.
"Where are they? Why aren't they attacking?" Skye whispers to Bellamy as he aims his gun at the closed gate.
Clarke sighs. "Because we're doing exactly what they wanted us to do."
Bellamy cocks his head. "What?"
"Lincoln said the scouts would be the first to arrive." Clarke says.
"If it's just scouts, we can fight our way out. That's what Lincoln would do." Octavia says.
Bellamy lowers his weapon. "We're done doing what that Grounder would do. We tried it and now Drew is dead. You want to be next?"
Finn eyes him. "That Grounder saved our lives. I agree with Octavia. For all we know there's one scout out there."
