___

Why do you keep reaching for my hand?

Do you see something I can't?

Why do you try to save me?

This fate is well deserved

I only make things worse

___

Bellamy claws at his cage. It's been twenty minutes of Skye being drained of her blood.

The door to the chamber opens and in walks a teenage girl.

She looks at Skye's body. Her face falls.

Bellamy wants to shout but stays silent, hoping that this girl can help them.

The girl in pink, grabs a stick of epinephrine from a nearby table, stabbing it into Skye's leg.

There's a moment of silence before she wakes up, gasping for air.

Bellamy lets out a sigh of relief. She's okay.

The girl bends down, to be level with Skye's upside-down face. "Skye." She says, as if trying to convince herself that it's really her.

"Maya??" Skye asks, her voice ragged.

Bellamy's eyes widen. This is the girl Skye told him about. The girl Jasper likes.

Maya unhooks Skye from the copious amounts of wires and needles that are on her minimally clothed body.

Suddenly the door opens again, and Maya stands quickly. "Lovejoy. Hey."

A man's voice is heard. "What are you doing here? You're not cleared for this facility."

Skye's vision is getting blurry from being upside down. She's lightheaded and nauseous.

She glances over at the cage Bellamy is in.

He shakes his head at her to not move.

Maya swallows. "I know. I'm sorry. I just wanted to see what was so special about her. But..." She eyes the machine which now is reading flatline since she unhooked Skye. "She's dead."

Skye quickly shuts her eyes, trying to breathe as little as possible.

The man walks closer. "So she is." He grabs a remote and begins to lower her to the floor.

The blood rushes back to her body and she can feel herself regaining strength.

The man then unchains her feet from their shackles. He looks at Maya. "You're a brave girl, coming in here alone—"

He gets cut off as Skye kicks him in the face as hard as she can. The Grounders in the cages start to shout as they watch.

Skye doesn't get a chance to stand before a gun is being pointed at her face. Lovejoy is now back on his feet. "Don't move! Don't move!"

She looks at Maya who glances around before taking a scalpel and shoving it into Lovejoy's neck. He shouts in pain, yanking it out.

While he does that, Skye reaches for his gun, but she doesn't make it in time because Lovejoy slashes her arm with the scalpel.

Bellamy grunts, kicking at his cage again.

Lovejoy grabs Skye by the throat and slams her against Echo's cage. She claws at his hands as her air circulation gets cut off.
