"Bell?" Octavia spoke, softly, trying to wake Bellamy up.

His eyes slowly opened, squinting slightly at the sunlight. Observing his surroundings, he didn't expect to see River's familiar face above him.

"Bell? You okay?" Octavia asked as he sat up straight.

Bellamy met River's eye, and within seconds her face expression changed from worried to angry.

"River, I'm—"

"Save it, Blake" River snarled, getting back up on her feet and turning to leave camp.

"Where are you going, Riri?" Octavia called out after her, making her turn around.

"After Murphy" She stated before she left and evaporated from their sights.

Bellamy didn't think twice before standing up and began to follow her. Even though he was well aware of the fact that she despised him at the time, he couldn't let her go alone.

     "Look, Charlotte" Bellamy placed his hands on her shoulders, looking her in the eye. "I won't leave you" He said, gently, putting pressure on each word.

     River observed as Charlottes face fell.

     "Please, Bellamy"

     River met Bellamy's eye for a split second. One second enough for Charlotte to running. Luckily. Bellamy had good reflexes and grabbed her just in time before throwing her over his shoulder.

     "Murphy! I'm over here!" Charlotte screamed as Bellamy ran with her.

River followed them, peering over her shoulder once in a while to check if Murphy was anywhere near. Considering she hadn't seen him for the entire time she'd been in the forest, she thought they were in the clear. Until...
