"and i watched a change in you."

The group has been walking for what felt like days. The sun is once again beaming through the trees, illuminating their path. Alice carries a stick with her, using it as a walking cane. Bellamy's jacket is now placed on her head, helping her avoid getting burnt. She feels exhausted. Sweat beaded from her forehead causing her to occasionally wipe it away.

Behind Alice is Monroe and Sterling who are in a hushed discussion, not wanting to bring attention to themselves. Next to her is Bellamy and Murphy. Murphy was annoying Bellamy during the whole trip about the wires on his wrists. Bellamy would shut him down each time. Finn is in the front, minding his own business as he leads the group.

"All right Murphy. Where to now?" Bellamy asks, glancing beside him.

"What do you say we lose these first, huh?" Murphy responds, moving his wired hands up to his chest. Bellamy shuts him down once again..

"If we get attacked, I have nothing to defend myself with." Murphy complains.

Alice rolls her eyes, wanting to hit Murphy with her stick. "You have legs don't you? Use those for defense." She tells him, causing him to glare at her.

Finn walks up to Murphy, giving in and unclipping the wires. Alice and Bellamy look at Finn in disbelief as Murphy smirks at the two. "Hey, what the hell are you doing?" Bellamy complains as he walks up to Finn, leaving Alice to deal with Murphy.

"Go near me and I won't hesitate to shoot." Alice warns Murphy.

"Relax Princess." Murphy responds as he raises his hands in the air, taking a few steps away from Alice.

Alice scoffs, swinging her stick at the back of Murphy's head. He winces, placing his hand on the back of his head. "Don't call me Princess." She tells him. Bellamy looks back, grinning at Alice. He slows his steps, letting her catch up to him.

Murphy glances at Bellamy, asking him a question "So do I get a gun now?" Bellamy glares at Murphy, shoving him ahead.

Alice drops her stick as she raises her fist towards Bellamy. He raises his fist, fist bumping her. She makes an explosion noise once she releases her hand. He shakes his head, holding back a laugh at the girl's antics.

They continue walking, eyes scanning their surroundings. Alice and Bellamy are now in front, leading the others. They come across what Alice assumes to be a village. There are wooden structures surrounding them, they were well built into the trees and on the ground.

Murphy rushes up to Bellamy, grabbing him as he quietly tells everyone to get down. Bellamy grabs Alice's hand, bringing him down with her. She lets out a small gasp of shock, not expecting the sudden movement.

"This is it. Told you I'd find it." Murphy states, expecting praise. Alice and Bellamy glance through the lense of their guns, observing the village. They stare at Grounders nearby as they rummage through cloth.

"All I see is Grounders. Our people aren't here." Bellamy tells them. Alice continues glancing, noticing the grounders pull out red belts.

"Wait a minute. They've got stuff from our drop-ship." Finn responds.

"So maybe they know where our friends are." Bellamy says as he looks away from the gun.

"Yeah, or maybe they killed them already." Murphy states, glancing at the Grounders unamused.

Alice glares at Murphy, her stare burning through his skull. "Son of a bitch." Finn states angrily,

Bellamy looks at him in concern. "What is it?" He asks, before looking at the Grounders.
