Two days later, we are back at camp and discuss how to get our people out of Mount Weather. "Okey, tell me again." "It's a labyrinth. We got to the dam through this tunnel. It's all connected to the mind system. That's our way in." Clarke shows me everything on the plan she has drawn herself. "Sure, if we can get past the Reapers and Mountain Man. I swear to God, if your mum doesn't sanction a mission soom I'm going by myself. "You won't be by yourself."

I nod and look at Clarke. As soon as I turn round, I see Finn running towards us. "I guess the inquisition's over. How's Finn doing anyway?" "I haven't talked to him since we got back. I dont know what to say. He just kept shooting." "We're at war, Clarke. We've all done things." Even though I can understand that she's worried about Finn, after all, he only did it to save our people and all of us have done bad things.

"Hey." I turn to Finn. "Hey. Next round's on me." Since the two of them clearly still have a lot to discuss, I get up and leave them alone.

After Abby Griffon has decided that we should finally send a search trip to Mount Weater, we set off straight away. In addition to Clarke, Octavia and Finn, we also have a lot of guards with us, which we will clearly need. "I cant believe that Finn is coming." I look at my sister, who is walking next to me. "He's the best tracker we've got. Don't forget to look up. The Grounders use the trees. That's how we lost John Mbege."

Me and Octavia are taking a different route to the others because we want to find a way in. The only one who knows about it is Clarke. "According to Clarke, before the bombs, there were buildings everywhere here. I'm guessing some of them had access to the bunker. So we're looking for ruins. Anything that's man-made, okay?" Ocatvia nods, but before she can say anything, we hear voices behind us. "Hey, Blake!" I roll my eyes and we turn round so we can see three guards. "Let, go right now."

"In case you've forgotten, we're not under you command." "Don't make us do this the hard way." "Come on. Forty-seven of our people are prisoners in this mountain." The three of them just look at me in disbelief. "That's why we're out here." "Wrong. You're out here to find other stations of the Ark. We're out here to find our friends." "Bell." My gaze wanders to the ground and I see hundreds of bugs fleeing in one direction.

"What are the doing?" "Running." I look round and see a big orange cloud coming towards us. "Acid fog. We need cover, now!" I help them take out the tents as Octavia runs off. "O! O! Get back here." I run after her and see her digging on the ground for something. "Bell! There's something in here. Maybe it's the ruins." "Hey, over here!" I immediately start to open the door and, together with a guard, I succeed.

"Brixton, fall in, now! Let's go!" Brixton starts running far too late and I close the door. It's pitch black in here and we can only see with the help of our torches. "Where are we?" "Looks like a garage." There are cars everywhere and everything is extremely dirty, as if it's been here for years, which it probably has.

"More like a tomb." I turn to Scott. "Look I'm sorry about you man, but we need to find an access door to Mount Weather." "Hey, bot so fast." "Sir, that fog will keep us pinned down-" Scott apparently tries not to stop us and holds a gun out to me. I take it. "We'll split up. Meet back here in 15. Be safe." I nod to Octavia and we split into two groups and head off in different directions.

After a few minutes, surprisingly, some music comes on that isn't exactly quiet. "Scott? Are you there?" We walk forward as quietly as we can, looking for the two of them, until we come across his gun lying on the floor. Not far from us we hear a chewing noise. "Bell, what was that?" I pick up the gun lying on the ground and pull in the direction where the noise is coming from. "Reapers." The two Reapers immediately turn and run towards us, so we stand up and I shoot them several times.

That damn music is still playing, making the whole thing even worse. "O." "What?" "Take this." I press the small gun Scott gave me earlier into my sister's hand. Together we continue walking, bent over again, when I spot another Reaper, but before I shoot him, Octavia stops me. "Don't. It's Lincoln. Lincoln? Lincoln it's me." He looks at us, but seems to be completely out of his mind.

"Don't kill him." He runs towards her and falls over her, so I shoot him in the leg. Octavia immediately hits him in the head, knocking him unconscious, and I help her stand up. "Come on. We need to get somewhere safe."
