"Queen?" Someone whispered. I was awake and never slept, with the idea of the 300 circling around in my head, it was impossible to sleep. It was still dark outside and I didn't have the feeling that the morning will come fast. I looked up and saw Bellamy standing in the doorway. "What's up, Bell?"
"I can't find O anywhere. When was the last time you saw her?" He entered the tent now fully.
"Here in camp, before we went looking for the pod this afternoon."
"Then she's gone for hours." Bellamy said even more worried then before.
Let's go looking for your sister."

Without over thinking, I threw the cover from my body and stood up. Only my tank top and underwear covered my body now, nothing more nothing less. The worry faded from Bell's face and was replaced with a smirk.
"What?" I asked. "Oh." I suddenly realized that I stood half naked in front of Bellamy Blake. Fast enough I found my pants and slipped it on.

"Where is my jacket?" I asked looking around.
"You mean this red one?" Bellamy said while he held my jacket in his hand.
"Of course that one," I walked over to the boy, "now give it here, Bell."
"Nah," he waved me away, "I think I'll keep it, but if you want to make a fair trade..?
"Fair trade?" I scoffed, "yeah like what? It's my jacket."
"Like..." he thought for a moment, "like you... me... tent... now?"
"Then I have to fight for it." I jumped on top of the boy, which gave me the element of surprise. He fell to the ground, right on his back. I grabbed my jacket and put it on, while still sitting on his stomach. "Okay, you've won." Bell said and rolled his eyes.

I was about to stand up when I heard Clarke's familiar voice: "Olivia?" She walked into my tent. She was clearly surprised that I overmastered Bellamy Blake... or she was thinking of something else, "I gathered some people." She stuttered, while I stood up, "let's go looking for Octavia, shall we?"
"Octavia?" Bellamy said suddenly in a low voice, "oh, yeah. Let's go."

We left camp and walked through the forest. It was darker here then it was in camp. Sometimes twigs snapped in the distance, and it wasn't easy to convince myself that it were animals. The delinquents kept quiet, so the only sound came from the cracking fire on the torches and the creepy night sounds. "If I was Octavia," I whispered and caught Bell's attention, "where would I go."
"Maybe she didn't go their far into the forest by herself." Monroe replied, the thing everyone was thinking of.
"You think she is kidnapped?" Bellamy asked, "by a Grounder?"
"Possibly," Monroe said, "what else could it be?"
"Butterflies." I said sarcastic.
"Funny, Queen." Bellamy said in the same sarcasm, "we need to hurry up. What if they are doing the same to her... as they did to Jasper."
"We'll find her, Bell." I reassured.
"And when we do I'll kill that Grounder." Bellamy said and increased his pace.
"Do you really think that we'll find her?" Monroe whispered.
"I hope so." I replied.

I looked up at the sky. Little do you know I can see what time it is by looking at the moon or sun. "No moon." I murmured. My gaze switched from the open spot to the Ark and saw something odd; It was like shooting stars were released from the Ark. "shooting stars." Monroe said staring at it. My face fell when I realized that those weren't shooting stars. "No." I said in a stern voice, "those are 300 bodies turning into dust in the atmosphere. They didn't get our message."

When the rain of bodies that looked like shooting start stopped, we moved on. "May we meet again." I whispered and walked further along with the rescue party 2.0.
"We will." Bellamy said to me after I said the goodbye we use on the Ark.
"Do we?" I snapped, "Bell, how the hell are we gonna live with ourselves knowing that it was our fault that those people died. If we didn't threw the damn radio away this Never would have happened." A single tear slipped down my cheek.
"I don't know," Bellamy told me, "but for now, let's think of O, okay? We'll figure this our later." I nodded fast, but kept repeating the words We'll figure this out later in my mind.
