Fear (The 100)

The Calm

Cal bounds over to the tent and walks inside, immediately seeing Raven doing something with the bullets. "Hey, Rav." Cal says, standing next to her. "Have you had time to make any arrows?"

Raven nods, still working on the bullets. "I did." She points to a corner where a stand is and a bag. "They're over there. I'll make more if you need any but try to keep those for now."

Cal smiles and grabs the bag filled with at least twenty arrows. Cal laughs. "You're amazing, Rav. I love you; you know that?"

Raven nods but doesn't answer. Cal sets the arrows down and walks over to her. "Hey, what's wrong?"

Raven sighs and sets down what was in her hands, looking at her. "Finn and I broke up."

Cal looks at her, surprised. "Why?"

"He and Clarke slept together."

Cal's eyebrows raise at a rapid rate. "What!?"

"I thought we would be okay, but he doesn't love me like he does her." Cal scoffs and looks to the side. Raven puts her hand on Cal's arm. "Hey, it's fine."

"No, it's not." Cal says, looking back at her. "He cheated on you, Rav."

Raven nods and licks her bottom lip. "I know, but I think I still love him, Cal."

Cal grits her teeth, not at Raven, but at Finn. She can never be mad at Raven for something she never did. "You deserve better than him, Rav."

Cal starts to walk out, but Raven stops her. "Where are you going?"

"To do something I thought I'd never have to do." She replies and storms out of the tent, going straight for Finn in the middle of the camp. She takes off her necklace in a scowl and searches for Finn's ring, taking it off and putting the others back on and around her neck. She storms over to him and pushes him, making him stumble.

"What the hell, Cal!?" He yells at her.

"No! You don't get to talk to me like that!" She yells at him. "Raven deserves so much better than you!" A crowd gathers around the two, but Cal barely notices, still yelling at Finn. "I thought you were better than this, Finn! I've known you since we were nine!" Cal shakes her head and throws the ring to the ground in front of him. "Destroy whatever I gave you that you decided to keep." Cal about turns around but says one last thing before she does. "I never want you near Raven again." And she storms out of camp, forgetting about the gun in her tent and only a knife at her side.

She groans as she realizes she has nowhere to go and punches a tree in frustration. "Fucking bitch!" She yells as loud as she can, not because of the pain, but because of the one person she thought would never do this to anyone.

She doesn't even know why she's mad. Raven's the one who got cheated on, not her, but she does feel like she did. He was her best friend, and anyone could see that, hell, the whole camp did. Cal thinks that maybe if Finn was ever in trouble, she might not save him, she'd get somebody else to. But a part of her knows she'd help; he's Finn after all.

Cal slumps against a tree and sits down, grabbing the knife from her pocket and fiddling with it. She must not have made it far, because Harper comes running up to her, barely out of breath. "There you are." She says, sitting down next to her, gun by her side. "I've been looking for you."

"You found me." Cal replies. "You can go back to camp now."

"Oh, come on, Cal. What happened?" Harper asks. "I heard you yelling at Finn."

"He cheated on Raven, so I threw the ring he made me when we were ten at him."

"Oh, Cal."

"What?" Cal snaps at her and looks up, stopping twirling the knife. "Why did you follow me in the first place?"
