Riptide-Vance Joy

"Octavia. " Bellamy shouted across camp. He looked through people's tents before getting to where Clarke and Finn were. "You're up?"

Clarke crawled out of the tent and dusted off her pants. "Yeah, knowing that hundreds of people might be dying on the Ark makes it pretty hard to sleep. "

Earlier that day, Bellamy had managed to jack Raven's radio out of the pod she came in and threw it into a river.

"Raven's flares will work. " He said sternly.

"Her radio would have worked better. " Clarke folded her arms before looking up at Bellamy who's lips were drawn into a thin line.

"Have you seen Octavia?"

"No. It's Octavia, she's probably chasing butterflies. " Clarke spoke with a hint of sarcasm.

"Clarke, I've checked camp. She's not here. "

"Okay. I'll help you find her. Check camp again. " Clarke turned away, but Bellamy spoke which made her stop.

"Clarke, wait. Amara was with her. I had her go to protect Octavia and now, they're both gone. Don't tell Finn. " Clarke scoffed. "You go to the drop ship. I'll check the rest of the tents. "

Bellamy gripped the torch he had been holding tightly as they walked around camp. "Thank you. "

"Don't thank me. I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing it for Octavia and Amara. "

The grounder had put the two girls in some underground cave. Octavia was still asleep, but Amara woke up quite a bit ago. Amara looked over at the groaning body next to her. Octavia sat up a little and winced when her leg moved.

"Don't move. It could be broken. " Amara said as she looked at Octavia who looked at the bone that was clearly popped out of place and a giant gash in her tanned thigh.

The two looked around the cave when they heard footsteps getting closer and closer. Octavia bit her lip and moved against the wall with Amara. She screamed in pain as she moved. The grounder came in with a knife with a bright red and orange tip.

"Please, please. Don't hurt me. " Octavia panted loudly and held out a hand.

The grounder went to grab her leg, but Amara popped up with one of her knifes. She twirled it in her hand before holding it near her, ready to fight. He grabbed her knife from Amara and twirled her around to where the knife was at her throat. "Okay, okay. Don't hurt her or me and we will be just fine. " The grounder pushed her to the ground and tossed her the knife knowing she wouldn't attack again. He ripped open some more of Octavia's pants and placed the burning red knife against her skin.
