IVY WAS HEADED BACK INTO THE RESTAURANT WHEN SHE SAW THE OTHERS. Raven, Emori, and Echo were walking inside as well, and she joined their side quickly, raising her eyebrows at Emori in question. She wanted to know what they found. The woman shot her a look that said she would tell her in a second. They spotted Murphy and Clarke sitting at a table inside, and Echo announced as they joined them, "Family meeting. Where's Bellamy?"
"Why? What's wrong?" Clarke questioned.
"We ran into Jordan," Emori answered, leaning into the group with a scared but interested expression. "Is it true? They're immortal?"
Ivy nodded, but Murphy just sighed and shook his head, confusing all of them. "I'm sure he made it sound worse than it really is." What was he talking about?
"It is pretty bad, though. You know, considering the fact that they are stealing people's bodies and putting their own brains in them," Ivy countered. She didn't want someone else in her body, but if Murphy didn't think it was bad, let them have him.
"They're murderers and body snatchers. How much worse could it be?" Raven agreed, and Clarke slid her drink over to Ivy to take a sip of. Without questioning it, she gulped down the remainder of the liquid because she had been outside all day. The Reyes girl insisted, "We're out of here."
"The plan doesn't change. We stay and learn as much from them as we can so we can build our own compound. Bellamy's out scouting a location as we speak," Clarke explained, and Ivy couldn't tell what, but something was off about how she was talking. She was more snarky than she usually was, and her posture was strange.
That surprised the Bishop girl because she had been there and heard nothing about him leaving. Bellamy wouldn't just leave without notifying her. He would've let her know, if not invite her to come along. "He went without me?"
"This whole body-snatching thing just really lit a fire. He's out with a foraging party. You guys were still with Ryker, and Ivy, you were talking to Jordan," the Griffin girl explained, but she was still acting weird. She didn't seem concerned about any of this in the slightest. It was like watching someone really awful at acting.
