"Hey jasper." Karina walked up behind the kid who was on edge. She felt bad since she wasn't there when he woke up, so she needs to be there for him now.

"Where Octavia?" She asked looking around for the girl.

"Right here." She walked up smiling and gave Jasper a hug to which Karina just looked at him and wiggled her eyebrows playfully. Jasper tilted his head to the side are raised up his middle finger. Karina put her hand on her chest and chuckled.

"You ready?" Octavia pulled on Jasper's arm leading the fearful kid closer to the gate.

"No." He spoke frantically shaking his head.

"Come on one foot infront of the other." Karina leaned against the gate watching as Octavia over exaggerated her steps.

"Hey, what's wrong." Karina put her arm on Jaspers shoulder upon seeing the boys hesitation to follow Octavia.

"I'm just nervous that's all." Karina nudged his side, he was defiantly trying to look tough infront of Octavia.

"It's okay, you got this." She grabbed Jaspers arm and took a few steps with him.

"See nothing is happen-." Octavia's smile was cut off by a scream that left her lips as she was dragged behind a tree stump. Jasper quickly jumped back as his eyes frantically ran circles.

"Octavia!" The fear was evident in his shaky voice. Jasper quickly ran up the stump calling her name again. Octavia and some dude from the shop popped up and she quickly pushed him away.

"Hey, jerk.. get the hell out of here!" The boy ran off laughing while Karina let out a breath she didn't even know she was holding in.

"See Jasper there's nothing to be afraid of." Karina tried to lighten up the mood, but mid sentence Jasper tripped over vines that layer across the dirt. When she went to see if he was okay, her attention shifted to something on the ground infront of them.

Fingers

"Are those.." Octavia trailed off looking at the ground in horror.

"Yep." Karina turned away with wide eyes.

"Oh my god." Jasper quickly got up and ran back into the drop ship.

"You go after him, I'll take care of this." Karina spoke waving a shocked Octavia off. Karina let out a little whimper as she carefully picked up the dismembered limbs enclosed in a cloth. There was only two people she trusted with this... Bellamy and Clarke.

Without hesitation she found Clarke.

"We need to talk." She pulled the confused girls arm refusing to answer any questions on the way to Bellamy's tent.

"Hello?" Bellamy looked at the two confused by their sudden appearance. Without saying anything she dropped the cloth which opened up onto a makeshift table. Bellamy and Clarke curiously gathered around the open cloth.

"Are those?" Clarke asked pausing.

"That's Wells." Karina cut her off noticing a scar on one of the fingers.

"Oh my god." Clarke covered her mouth while taking shallow breaths. Bellamy's eyes met Karina's it was obvious to him that she was pushing her emotions down. They hadn't talked more than necessary since last week so this was awkward to say the least.

"Who all else knows about this." Bellamy questioned the girl who was now evidently spaced out.

"Only Octavia and Jasper, I brought it straight here." Bellamy nodded while Clarke instructed the knife that was speckled with her friends blood.

"It was one of us... we have a murderer in this camp." Clarke spoke while still holding the weapon.

"We have more than one murderer in this camp, we need to keep this quiet." Bellamy spoke avoiding eye contact with either of the girls.

"Like hell we do." Karina walked up to look him in the eyes.

"What do you want to do Karina, go out and ask the murderer to step forward?" He spoke finally looking into her eyes. Just as their argument was getting heated Clarke cut them off.

"We don't need to... JM." She pointed to the initials carved out on the knife.

"John Murphy." Karina spoke under her breath cursing as well. Clarke stormed out of the tent quickly.

"Here we fucking go." Bellamy threw his hands into the air and sighed.

"Murphy will get what he deserves no thanks to you," Karina scoffed.

"I though you would care more- but I was wrong." Karina hit shoulders with Bellamy as she too exited the tent.

"Bellamy you really believe this crap?" Murphy asked Bellamy who exited the tent right behind Karina. He only stood there with his arms crossed and his eyes cold.

"We all know how much you hated wells." Clarke was now stepping closer to Murphy getting up in his face.

"We all did, he was the son of the Chancellor." Murphy scoffed while looking around for any sign of agreement.

"Yet you were the only one who shanked him." Karina stepped forward now also getting in his face.

"He tried to kill Jasper too." Octavia chimed in. Murmurs erupted from the crowd that seemed to side with Clarke.

"This is ridiculous I don't have to answer to you, I don't have to answer to anyone." Murphy started to panic.

"Excuse me." Bellamy stepped forward with a challenging look. Murphy walked up to Bellamy as they quietly exchanged a few in audible words.

"We shouldn't be able to kill each other without punishment." Clarke spoke up directing her words to the crowd.

"I say we float him." A boy shouted out amidst the people. The crowd erupted into yells of agreement.

"That's not what she meant." Karina tries to step forward and stop the crowd from kicking Murphy who was now on the ground, but she only got elbowed in the face.

A groan of pain escaped her mouth as her hand wiped the blood away that dropped from her nose.

"Karina." Bellamy's eyes scanned the girls blood face with worry.

"Not now." She turned back to the crowd who was now tying a rope around Murphys neck. She watched in horror as they set up a bucket beneath him.

"Bellamy you should be the one to do it." The boy who started this chaos called. Karina stood shocked to see Bellamy walk forward before kicking the bucket with his foot. Murphy struggled as the rope tightened around his neck, cutting off air supply.

"Stop!" Charlottes yell hushed the crowd slightly. "Murphy didn't kill Wells... I did." Clarke quickly grabbed an axe that was rested in Bellamy's belt and cut Murphy down to the ground.

Karina looked back at Charlotte who was standing there with her head down... she was defiantly telling the truth.
