"I don't understand. How did Murphy get a gun?" asked Finn after Clarke put a hot knife over Raven's wound trying to cauterise it.

"Long story." Bellamy replied looking in my direction.

"The short version is that Murphy trapped me inside the dropship after I saw him next to Myles body." I explained, deciding that they don't need to know about the fact that Murphy used me as a bait for Bellamy.

"We got lucky. If Murphy hit the fuel tank instead of me, we'd all be dead." Raven mumbled faintly from her spot.

"Wait, there's rocket fuel down there? Enough to build a bomb?" asked Clarke.

"Enough to build 100 bombs... if we had any gunpowder left."

Clark looked at me confused. "But Murphy blew up all the gunpowder too." I explained.

"Let's get back to the reapers." demanded Bellamy looking at a drawing made by Lincoln. They explained to us that apparently the reapers were savage Grounders and that the Grounders were terrified of them.

"Maybe they'll help us. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, right?" Raven offered.

"Not this enemy. We saw them. Trust me, it's not a option."

"There's no time for this. Can she walk or not?" demanded to know Finn.

"No. We have to carry her." Clarke replied looking at Raven.

"The hell you will. I'm good to go."

"Hey, listen to me. That bullet is still inside you. If by some miracle, there's no internal bleeding, it might hold until we get somewhere safe. But you are not walking there. Is that clear?" Blondie replied and then looked at me. "And if you have the slightest sign of an attack you stop and announce us." he added looking in my direction and I nodded.

"I'll get the stretcher." Finn announced and rushed to the door.

"Can't ran away fast enough, huh? Real brave."
screamed Bellamy to Finn stopping him.

"Dying in a fight you can't win isn't brave, Bellamy, it's stupid."

"Spoken like every coward who's ever run from a fight."

"Alright, that's enough. I can't take the testosterone more." I shouted looking at both of them. We all were very tense but I wasn't the right time to fight between us.

"It's time to go." Clarke announced ten minutes later and handed me a bag with two puffs.

"If they follow? It's a 120-mile walk to the ocean." asked concerned Bellamy.

"Look, we're wasting time. If he wants to stay, he can stay." Finn spoke and then went outside.

"We can't do this without you, Bellamy." Clarke spoke and looked at me knowingly. If he wanted to stay to fight I was going to stay with him too.

"What do you want me to say, Clarke?"

"I want you to say that you're with us. Those kids out there, they listen to you."

"They're listening up to go. They listen you more."

"I gave them an easy choice. But five minutes ago, they were willing to fight and die for you. You inspire them. I'm afraid we're gonna need that again before this day is through." then she rushed outside too.

"Still with me, Princess?" he asked me after Finn and Miller carried Raven outside and we were the only ones left in the ship.

"Still." was everything I said and he smiled at me.
