A/N: I apologize for how lengthy this one is but I couldn't find a place I wanted to end it at! Hope you all enjoy :) 


The next day Jamie found herself walking along the rubble of the crash site beside Clarke. Their eyes scoured the debris looking for any sign of their mother and they walked so close to one another they continuously bounced off each other but didn't bother moving. They hadn't spoken much since the explosion, not even to each other. And as they slowly looked around both their emotions were going crazy and it took everything in them not to lose it. They'd been fighting the urge to break down all day as they trekked through the woods and to the crash site, clinging to one another as they made their way there.

"They shouldn't be out here." Finn mumbled, watching the girls numbly move around.

Raven sighed and looked up at the girls before shaking her head and looking at Finn. "Their mom was on the ship. They're looking for answers. You want to help them? Find me the black box, hard drives, anything that will explain why this ship crashed."

Bellamy's gaze drifted along the tree line. "Stay sharp! Grounder retaliation for what happened on the bridge is coming it's just a matter of when." His eyes returned to Clarke and Jamie and he watched as the two carefully walked through the rubble.

Finn flipped towards him with a scowl. "Can you blame them?"

"No, I blame you." Bellamy easily replied, stepping closer to Finn.

"Maybe if you didn't bring guns..."

"If we didn't bring guns we would've all been killed!" Raven said, interrupting Finn.

Bellamy sighed and his eyes returned to the girls. "Why they're coming doesn't matter anymore. It's our job to be ready when they do. We're on our own now."

Clarke and Jamie both paused when they saw the fluid dripping from the ship. Jamie quickly pulled Clarke behind her and leaned in a little to see what the fluid was.

"Jamie stop!"

Both girls looked up when Raven yelled and Jamie pushed Clarke back farther. "Rocket fuel?" She asked as Raven joined them. "Hydrazine. Highly unstable in its nonsolid form. If this stuff meets fire, we're all pink mist." Raven picked up a rock and let some of the fluid drip onto it before yelling out, "fire in the hole" and throwing the rock on the other side of the ship.

The rock blew up and Clarke and Jamie jumped back in response.

"We need to clear the area!" Raven called out to Bellamy.

He nodded and looked around their small group. "Okay, then. We move in formation! No straggling, weapons hot. We got to get back before dark."

They made their way back to camp with Bellamy following the group, following Jamie and Clarke. His eyes often flickered up to Jamie's back but her eyes never moved off the ground. Finn continually glanced over his shoulder at Clarke but her gaze remained on the ground as well, stumbling beside Jamie. Half way back to camp they heard a noise nearby and everyone looked up. Clarke grasped Jamie's arm tightly and pulled the girl closer to her as Bellamy moved closer to them and stepped in front of Jamie. "Keep moving." He announced, turning and lightly placing his hand on Jamie's shoulder to keep her moving. He walked beside her after that noticing her eyes just went back to the ground, lost in her thoughts.

When they got back to camp there was a flurry of activity outside the dropship and Jasper was the one to greet them. He spoke quickly to Bellamy and all Jamie caught was Murphy's name. Her and Clarke followed Bellamy into the dropship, parting through the crowd that had gathered.
