I was woken up in the middle of the night by Bellamy, shaking my shoulders. I roll over and look at him.

"What!? It's the middle of the night!" I shout angry, he had woken me up.

"There's something coming from the sky." He says making my eyes widened in the exact same moment. I quickly stand up, and make my way towards the entrance of our tent, and get out, to look at the sky, Bellamy besides me. I look at him and see him already looking at me nervously.

"It's a pod, isn't it?" He asks me. I simply nod, before grabbing his hand and dragging him inside of our tens. I quickly dress up and put on my boots.

"We need to get that radio before anyone else does. Come on." I say, getting out of the tent again, this time dresses, but still with Bellamy behind me. But when we reach the outside, everyone is already looking at it.

"If it cleared the ridge, it's probably near the lake. We should get moving, everyone is ready." Octavia says walking into the tent we were having a meeting on.

"No one's going anywhere. Not while it's dark, it isn't safe." Bellamy says making me agree with him, and Octavia look at him with a confused look.

"We'll head out at first light. Spread the word." I say.

"Yes, princesa." Logan says, making me look at him, and pulling his arm towards me, before he has the opportunity to walk out of the tent.

"Don't call me that." I say, with anger burning behind my eyes. He just nods and mumbles a quite sorry and walks out of the tent. Everyone leaves short after them, as me and Bellamy were about to head out, Octavia stepped in front of me, stopping me.

"Everyone for 100 miles, saw this thing come down. What if the grounders get to it first? Guys, we should go now." She says looking at me.

I look at her and say back. "I said we leave at sunrise." And leave the tent, Bellamy quick to follow.

Me and Bellamy ran all night, trying to find the pod, and now, the sun was starting to rise, and we still haven't found it. We were still running when we heard someone scream our names. When we both turn around and stop, we see Octavia running towards us.

"What are you doing?" Bellamy asks. "Go back to camp, it isn't safe."

"You lied to me. You lied to everyone." She spits at both of us. "You just want, whatever's in that pod."

"Go home Octavia!" He shouts, pushing her sister, making me hit him and giving him a warning glance.

"You always want to play big brother, huh? And you always, tough girl, but deep down, you're nothing but a scared little girl." She says to me and Bellamy making me scoff. "Well, guess what? Joke's on me. You're just a selfish dick." I nod in agreement, but still kept quiet, since this was between sister and brother.

"I did this for you. To protect you." He says before continuing. "If The Ark finds out we're alive, they'll come down." He says pointing at me and himself. "And when they do... We're dead."

"What did you do?" Octavia asks, now with a softer face.

Bellamy looks at me and starts rubbing his head with his hands. "I shot him. I shot Jaha."

Octavia looks at her brother, tears prickling her eyes. "What?"

"I found out they were sending you to earth. I couldn't let you go alone. Someone came to me with a deal- Do this. Kill him, and they'd get me in the dropship. And I did it."
