the fear of being hurt

Athena sprang into action, her movements swift and purposeful as she worked alongside the others to set up the tent.

Once the tent was fully pitched, Athena crawled inside, finding herself nestled between Jasper and Bellamy. Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath, , the racing of her heart gradually slowing to a more manageable pace.  

"How long are we supposed to wait?" Jasper's question echoed the doubt that Athena had been silently grappling with, sending a shiver down her spine. The uncertainty of their situation gnawed at her, filling her with a sense of unease that she couldn't shake. 

The other girl in the group asked " Will this even work?" The other girl's question only added fuel to the fire of Athena's anxiety, prompting her to confront the terrifying possibility that their plan might not succeed.

She remembered the way Atom died, and it had haunted her in her dreams ever since. She refused to die in such a painful way.

 "We'll find out," Finn's response offered little comfort,

Before Athena was able to process Bellamy's next sentence , he had alreay lifted the tent of her head. "No, we won't. There's no fog." 

"Are you insane?" Athena got up, her heart racing as she surveyed their surroundings realising that there was indeed no fog. 

"If there would've been one, we all would've died and it would've been your fault, Freckles," Athena's words spilled out in a rush, her frustration bubbling to the surface 

"Calm down, Bambi. Nothing happened," Bellamy's response was calm, his tone a stark contrast to Athena's own volatile emotions.

As Finn speculated about the possibility of a false alarm, Bellamy's sharp eyes caught sight of a lone figure moving through the forest. Athena followed his gaze and saw the distant silhouette

 "They're coming back," Bellamy's words cut through the tension, prompting Jasper to whisper his observation. " I think he's alone."

"That's a good sign. Let's go back and try to make a better plan to find Octavia," Athena suggested, hoping to steer the group away from the immediate danger of a confrontation.. 

"He doesn't see us. I'm going after him." Bellamy says not even hearing what Athena had just said. 

Athena couldn't help but feel a pang of frustration at his insistence on charging ahead without a clear plan, but she also understood the depth of his desperation to find Octavia.

"Bellamy, are you sure?" Athena called out after him, her words tinged with concern.But Bellamy's determination was evident as he pressed on, leaving Athena with no choice but to follow him.

As Finn and Bellamy exchanged words about their impromptu plan, Athena couldn't help but feel a sense of unease settle over her. 

While she knew that Bellamy's reckless approach carried risks, she also recognized that it might be their best chance of finding her friend. She had gotten so close to Octavia in the past weeks, she could barely believe how selfish she was acting.

The walk was quite long, and at some point they saw the grounder enter a cave. 

As Bellamy quietly followed him, Athena stopped in her tracks , taking a big breath

She peeked into the cave ,seeing it go down and getting extremely dark.She could hear the sound of her own heartbeat echoing in her ears. Finn and Monroe walked past Athena and followed Bellamy. Jasper, however, stopped next to her.
