Raine's eyes flew open, and she sat upright. She glanced at Octavia before both girls scrambled to their feet, desperate to see what the loud noise was that was engulfing the night. Octavia flicked back the tent flap and the girls poured out, Raine's eyes catching a bright object in the sky, plummeting downwards.

"What is that?" she asked no-one in particular.

"Bellamy! Bellamy, get out here!" Octavia yelled to her older brother, and Raine turned around just as Bellamy stepped out. She felt her jaw go slack at the sight of him shirtless; his flat chest and stomach muscles rippling as he walked. Quickly, she closed her mouth and spun around, grateful that it was dark and he couldn't see the blush on her cheeks.

"What?" Bellamy asked, unfazed by the fact that he was shirtless.

"There!" Octavia pointed at the object, watching as a large parachute deployed and it slowed down considerably. Bellamy's eyes widened when he realised that it was a ship, from the ark.

"It's a ship!" someone yelled.

"Now we can kick some grounder ass." A boy whooped, and everyone agreed.

"Please tell me they bought down some shampoo." A girl whined, and Raine looked at her incredulously.

"Seriously? What about food, medical supplies, clean clothes?" Raine laughed mockingly, raising an eyebrow. The girl sneered at her, but didn't respond. Bellamy, however, was too busy watching the ship disappeared beyond the tree line.

If the ark could send down people, then there was no stopping them from all coming down. That meant that Bellamy would have to pay for his crimes, and unlike Murphy, he wouldn't be so lucky. No, he would be killed for what he did. He was not going to let that happen, which meant only one thing.

He needed to find that ship.

Raine approached Finn and Clarke, speaking loudly, "Did you see that? It had to be from the ark."

"Grab your stuff, let's find out." Clarke responded, forcing a smile.

Raine sniffed, "Bellamy ordered everyone to wait until sunrise."

"Do you know where he is?" Clarke asked and Raine nodded her head.

"He's probably back asleep, lazy asshole." She muttered, turning and marching towards Bellamy's tent. Clarke and Finn followed, Raine pulling aside the tent flap to reveal a girl standing in her underwear.

"Ever hear of knocking, bitch?" she snapped, grabbing her clothes and trying to cover herself. "Oh great, it's a free show. Anyone else want to take a look?" she added when Finn and Clarke came in.

Raine's eyes landed on a second girl lying in Bellamy's bed and jealously surged through Raine like wild fire. For what reason, she didn't know. She snarled at the girl, "Don't worry, it's not much of a show. Where the hell is Bellamy?"

The girl smirked smugly, and Raine wanted to slap it off of her face. "He took off a while ago."

"His gear's gone." Finn announced, and Raine saw he was right.
