"... Everyone, eyes peeled. We're in Grounders territory." Bellamy and Finn were ahead of the others.

"Everywhere is grounder territory, all right?" Murphy spoke, breathing heavily as she stopped running, "I can't keep running."

Monroe and sterling stopped behind her, both breathing heavily trying to catch their breaths.

Finn and Bellamy stopped and turned to face them, "we need to keep moving." Finn said,

"Give them a minute." Bellamy told him, Finn turned to face him, shaking his head.

"No, we can't. You heard what that grounder said, "they'll outlive their usefulness." Finn said,

"That's what he said when you had a gun to his head." Bellamy replied,

"Look, you think I wanted to do that?" Finn asked, "he would've told his people that we were coming."

"By the time we got there, our people would be dead." Finn told him, "something you can live with, but I can't."

Finn shook his head, pushing past Bellamy, but Bellamy pulled him back, "I know you did what you think you had to do,"

"But you are not yourself right now." Bellamy told him,

"You guys." Monroe spoke, interrupting their conversation, lifting her gun, Bellamy turned and saw a shoe before a body.

"Fall in." He demanded before walking forward. There were more bodies the further they walked.

"Where the hell did they come from?" Finn questioned, glancing at the bodies on the ground.

"From the Ark." Murphy replied, moving past Bellamy and Finn, a frown on her face.

She continued to walk until she stopped at the edge of the cliff, "That was a rough landing."

Bellamy stopped beside her, sending her a small look, and she shrugged at him.

Bellamy sighed, "There's nothing we can do for this people," He and Finn moved to walk away, "we gotta go."

As the others went to follow, they all stopped as a whimper sounded from the cliff. "Did you hear that?"

Murphy, Monroe, and sterling moved to the edge, looking down.

"Hey, hey," Monroe pointed down, "someone's down there."

"Hey!" Bellamy called out, "up here!"

It was a woman, she whimpered, lifting her head, looking up at them.

"Mel?" Sterling stared down at his friend, with a slight disbelief look in his eyes.

"Help me!" The woman, Mel shouted,

"You know her?" Murphy asked, Sterling nodded, glancing at her for a brief second before looking down at Mel.

"She's my friend. We have to do something." Sterling said,

"Help me!"
