A Found Octavia

After nearly thirty minutes of searching around for clues, a guy called out, "Look, over here!"

Charlie took off in his direction and stopped to see what it was that caught his attention. "What is it?" She asked him.

The guy repositioned his flashlight and pointed. "Right there. You see it? Is it Octavia's?"

Bellamy came up behind Charlie and looked to where the guy was pointing. It was a piece of clothing stuck on a branch. "Rope." He demanded.

"I'll do it." Charlie suggested. Bellamy was about to protest put Charlie added. "I weigh less than you, it'll be quicker."

Slowly he nodded, and wrapped the rope around a tree. "What are you doing?" Finn asked.

"We need the rope to get back up." He said and threw the other end down the steep hill. "Flashlight." He ordered, and handed it to Charlie.

She took it before turning to the rope and gripping it tight. Then she lowered herself down to where the cloth is. She picked it up and sighed in relief. They are one step closer. "It's hers!" She called up to them. "I'm going all the way down." She added at last thought. Bellamy quickly followed suit, Jasper after him.

When Charlie got lower, she saw a liquid substance on a rock. She bent down and touched it, then she shined the light on her hand and saw blood. Soon, Bellamy, Jasper, and Finn were behind her.

"Someone else was here." Bellamy concluded.

Charlie looked around at the ground and saw footprints that were deeper than the others. "The prints are deeper that way. He must've carried her."

"If they took her, she's alive." Jasper said. "Like when they took me."

Charlie didn't want to think about Octavia getting tortured so she stood up abruptly and started to follow the tracks. "Let's go."

Finn took lead, since he was the tracker. After following the prints for a bit, they came up upon skeletons hanging from trees and bones scattered around on the ground.

"I don't speak grounder, but I'm pretty sure this means keep out." Finn stated, gulping as he grew nervous.

"This is crazy."

"I'm outta here."

"Yeah, me too."

"I'm out."

Charlie rolled her eyes as people pussied out. What wusses they are.

"Go back if you want. My sister, my responsibility." Bellamy whispered the last part before taking off. Charlie followed suit, she protects her friends at all costs.

"I'd walk into hell to find her." Jasper said, following the two leaders.

Finn caught up with him. "I think we just did."

Soon it got daylight and they were way passed the creepy bones.

Finn sighed out of irritation. "I got nothing. We lost the trail."

"Keep looking." Bellamy grunted.

"Wandering around aimlessly isn't the way to find your sister. We should backtrack." Finn retorted.

"I'm not going back." Bellamy snapped.

An eery feeling settled in the pit of Charlie's stomach. She couldn't figure out what it was, but she knew it wasn't good. She stepped closer to Bellamy and grabbed his arm. She stretched up to whisper in his ear, "Somethings not right, Bell."

He looked at her curiously, wondering how'd she know that and what was wrong. "What do you mean?"

Charlie was about to reply when another girl spoke up. Charlie couldn't remember if her name was Sabrina, Ron, or Erin. But Charlie thinks she looks like an Erin so that's what she'll call her. "Hey, where's John?"
