Bellamy's POV

It was late at night, when a loud noise woke me up. I immediately sat up and ran outside, worried about what could've happened. Many teens were already out of their tents, watching something fall to the ground. I was expecting it to land like we did, with a loud boom and lots of dust, but seeing as the parachutes didn't deploy, it didn't have a safe landing. The ship exploded a huge ball of fire emerging from it, I could hear many gasps all around me.

"We have to go help them." Clarke said, but is topped her.

"No, not now. There might be grounders out there. On first light we're going." I said, I don't want anyone else to die on their hands.

"But what about if they get there first? What if there are survivors?" Clarke said in hopes that I would let her go.

"No one could've survived a crash like that, much less that explosion." Raven said crossing her arms, and walking away.

She and Clarke don't like each other, and its been going for awhile now. They often glare and they can't agree with each other, I don't think they'll ever get along.

"Go back to sleep! Tomorrow we are going to check the crash site." I said as everyone murmured but did as told.

*****

The next morning I was one of the first ones to wake up. Once I got all the guns and extra ammo, I started to wake up all the teens, Clarke was already awake when I entered her tent, so I just told her to get ready.

"Only a few of us will go to the crash site." I started." The rest of you will stay to protect the camp and start to cook food for the day. If anything gets close to camp don't doubt to shoot at it." I concluded, deciding the guns so there would be enough to protect our camp." Miller!" I shouted to the crowd.

He pushed himself in front of the crowd, I tossed a gun to him which he caught easily." You'll be in charge of the 100 while I'm gone." He nodded.

I separated the people I wanted to come with us from the rest, Clarke, Finn, Raven, Monty, Jasper, and Sterling where all coming and some other kids I never caught the name of. We walked for about half an hour, and I was surprised that we didn't see any grounders the hole way there.

Maybe they were too scared to come?

Or maybe they are already there?

It was a waste of time to guess what they were thinking right now. They could be planning out an attack, or they don't want to risk it and just stay were they are. Either way the people down here are unpredictable, there's no way we could guess what they'll do next. When we arrived at the crash site the first thing we did was make sure no grounders were around, and it only made sense that they didn't want to risk anything to come and see what happened.

"Clear!" Sterling shouted from the north side of the crash.

There were five people in charge of making sure that no grounders were around, I was one of them. I a clear shout from every and each one of them. The others were already looking around the ship debris, there were burnt bodies, no edible supplies and like Raven said, none survived.

"Hey! Don't touch that!" Raven said to Clarke who was examining a red liquid that was driving from a tank.

"What is it?" She asked backing away from the substance.

"It's hydrazine. Highly explosive." She said.

Carefully she grabbed and empty can and let pour some of the liquid in it. She stood up slowly and shouted. "Fire in the hole!" She swung the small can, aiming for one of the lit fires from the explosion. I had to cover my eyes as the liquid made everything explode and some prices rain all around us.

"With this, I'm gonna kick some grounder ass." I grinned at her statement, this hydrazine was going to help us big time.

*****

When we returned to camp, Miller was the first one to come to me and tell me something that made me boil from anger." Murphy's back."

My stomped up to the drop ship and made my way to were Murphy was supposed to be. His face was all beat up, blood covered him from head to toe and he couldn't get anymore disgusting." Do you remember what I told you about coming back here?" I said and grabbed him by the collar.

"I was running away from the grounders." He said with a cracked voice.

"What did you told them about us." I harshly said to his face.

"Everything." He said, almost as if it was the right thing to do.

"Bellamy stop." Clarke said and pushed me away from him.

"Clarke we-." I started but she harshly told me to shut up.

She grabbed one of his hands and showed them to me. They were all bloody, it almost looked like his skin was ripped right off." His nails are torn off. He was tortured."

I clenched my jaw. I couldn't believe she was siding with him after Charlotte, it almost made me sick. I turned around and walked away. But stopped once a hand grabbed my shoulder." Once we help him we banish him again, and this time, if he returns we will kill him."

"Look-." I was cut off when I heard a boy calling my name.

"Bellamy!" I glanced once at Clarke before walking again towards the boy.

"What is it?" I asked the read headed boy, he had his gun pointed at something.

I followed the gun's aim and saw someone standing beside a tree panting, she had her arms up showing she had no weapons." Astina?" I called out, I couldn't tell if it was acctually her.

"Yes." She said, I put my hand on the boy's gun, lowering it.

"Open the gate!" I shouted.

Two boys ran towards the gate and opened it as Astina made her way towards it, she walked inside, she was still panting like she ran for hours.

"What happened?" I asked.

"One of the Clan's members captured me, but he surprisingly let me go." She said and I rose my eyebrows." How's Finn?"

"He's fine. Who cought you?" I asked.

"A boy named Artigas, don't worry I did not tell them anything about you. But tell me. Was that your people, the ones who fell from the sky?" She asked.

"Yeah, they did not make it." I said.

"Oh, sorry." She apologised, this is the first time I've ever heard her say 'sorry'.

"It wasn't your fault."

I watched as Raven stomped out of Finn's tent, and if my eyes were playing tricks on me, I swear I saw tears. I wonder what happened?

All of the sudden I heard someone shout in for inside the drop ship." Help! I'm bleeding!"

I rushed inside and saw a boy bleeding from his eyes, he was crying blood.Astina was the first to react and kneeled beside the boy to help.

Sometimes I wish we weren't sent to the ground.
