"Well that was quick." I say as Bellamy and Clarke come up the hatch. Seeing Bellamy after me and Octavia were talking about him earlier makes me look at him differently, not in a bad way but it makes me try to understand and decipher my feelings for him.

"He's back to reaper purgatory and he's up to full strength." I explain to them. He's been growling and trying to get out of the restraints for about an hour now.

Clarke doesn't look at me, her stare stays on Lincoln curiously and terrified. She walks closer to him but before I can tell her she shouldn't do that, he snaps and tugs on the chains trying to get to her. She backs up scared but Bellamy reassures her it's fine.

"I can't believe we're back here." She shakes her head.

"Can you help him?" Octavia asks her what she asked me.

"I don't know." I knew she was going to say that, something like this isn't just solved easily.

Clarke shakes her head, "I knew mount weather controlled the reapers. I had no idea they were creating them."

"If they can't do that to Lincoln..." Bellamy trailed off, "What are they doing to our friends?"

My head fills with worry for all our friends, but I don't let it consume me. I need to be strong for them.

"We wont find out because we are going to get Lincoln back to normal and then we're going to save our friends." I interject. Octavia sends me a smile and I nod at her.

"Now," I turn to Clarke, "I have some ideas but I'd like to hear yours."

Clarke looks at Lincoln one last time and then to me nodding her head.

"I was thinking draining his blood little by little. Let him get some strength between each drawing and continue it." Clarke tells me.

"Won't that kill him?" Octavia asked from Bellamys side.

I shake my head, "No, but there's a problem with it. We don't know if the problem is in the blood stream, it could be neurological. Also, we would need to transfer blood into him as well or else we would have to drain him for a couple of days."

"Good point, what are your ideas?" She looks to me and I sigh.

"I think we need to find out how he got this was first. We might be able to help him if this side of him was like a virus, if it works that way we could be able to treat it with medicine."

"Like a cure." Clarke says and I nod my head.

"Well how do we find out how he got this way? It's not like we can go up to the mountain men and ask." Bellamy adds. I roll my eyes. He's a dork, but he's my dork.

"We have to get a closer look at him." I say and we all turn towards Lincoln who snarls at us again.

"Keep your gun ready." I tell Bellamy as me and Clarke walk around his body as much as we can while Octravia shines her flashlight for us to see.

"Always do, princess." He tells me and I smile.

As me and Clarke circle around him he starts shaking and shouting out.

"He's convulsing." I say as I back up.

"So, what does it mean?" Bellamy looks to us.

Before I can tell him I don't know because he could be convulsing from a lot of different things Clarke speaks up, "What happened to his leg?" Clarke asks, I look to Octavia and her jaw clenches.
