It's been about a month since Murphy and Atom kidnapped Isobel. Since then, a lot of things changed. Lincoln and Octavia 'adopted' a little grounder girl. Her mother was apart of Lincolns old clan and died from illness. Her father was killed in battle. So, Lincoln and Octavia decided to take in the little 3 year old girl. Her name was Penelope. Everyone loved her. Bellamy loved his little niece, she was so sweet. She loved hunting with her Uncle Bell, unlike Isobel, who didn't like anything to do with hunting or sports. She was a girly girl. Isobel was only 5, but she still felt like she was being abandoned. Her auntie O becoming a mommy was bad enough but losing her daddy to that little demon was enough to make Isobel angry. She had to do something, she thought.

"Hey daddy, can I play with Penny?" Isobel asked walking over to her father as he skinned his morning catch. Bellamy looked down at his daughter and smiled.

"Of course princess, but be careful okay? And if you go for a walk stay within the boundary lines okay?" Bellamy said sternly. He let his guard down a little and extended the range his daughter could explore safely on her own. He had made a line of rocks along the trees to indicate how far she was allowed to wander. Isobel nodded.

"Good girl." Bellamy ruffled her hair. Isobel whined and slapped his hands away.

"Don't do that." She spat out. Bellamy crouched down to her level and pulled her to him. He looked her in the eyes.

"Don't ever talk to me that away again. I'm sick of this attitude. Anything comes out of your mouth like that again I will you ground you for
A month."!He said firmly. Isobel huffed, but nodded. Her daddy didn't
Mean it, did he?

"Sorry." She mumbled. Bellamy, nodded, satisfied and stood up. He patted her back. "Go find Penny."

Isobel walked over to her auntie Octavia's tent. Penny was in there by her self playing with a doll made of animal skin and bones and tree bark.

"Hi Izzy." Penny said looking at her. Isobel walked over to her and gave her a devilish grin.

"Wanna go for a walk?" Isobel asked. Penny got up and nodded.

They walked through the camp, without anyone noticing. They walked into the boundary.

They were playing by the river and Isobel heard people in the woods coming back from a hunt. So she knew she needed to work fast. She picked up a rock and hit Penny in the head and hide her away behind a tree. She hid they're too until the hunting party passed her.

After it was clear, Isobel went back to camp, leaving Penny unconscious and hid behind a tree.

It was nearing dark and Octavia was growing worried that her daughter hadn't returned. Isobel said that they both came back to camp earlier and they went back to their own tents and she hasn't seen her since.

"Lincoln!!" Octavia called out running across the camp, where Lincoln was talking to Bellamy.

"What's wrong babe?" Lincoln asked wrapping an arm around Octavia.

"Its Penny. She's missing." Octavia said tearing up. Lincoln felt a surge of panic rush through him.

"She was with Iz today. Maybe she knows?" Bellamy suggested trying to ease his sisters pain. Octavia shook her head.

"I was already talking to Isobel, she said they came back to camp together and she hadn't seen Penny since." Octavia said. Bellamy nodded.

"I really hate to do this, but O, I gotta go. It's getting dark and I need to get Iz to bed which normally isn't an easy task...." Bellamy trailed off, not wanting to brag about his daughter still being around.

"Its okay, Bell. Tell Iz i said goodnight." Octavia said sadly. Bellamy nodded and hugged his sister.

As he started walking back to his tent he seen a group of hunters coming back with a little girl in their arms, she was unconscious. Lincoln and Octavia took off over to them. It was Penny. Lincoln takes her in his arms and pulls her close.

"I don't want to alarm you, but we found this right by Penny....." Asher starts to say as he shows them a piece of fabric from a pink shirt. Bellamy immediately recognizes it and grabs it from Asher and starts off towards his daughter.

"Bell, where are you going?" Octavia called out.

"Isobels shirt." Bellamy said through clenched teeth, holding up the fabric. Octavia gasped.

"I'm gonna go deal with my daughter." He said firmly. Octavia felt her heart rush.

"Bellamy, don't hurt her.... she's a little girl...." Octavia began. Bellamy wasn't having it.

"She hurt Penny, O. She's getting punished how I see fit." Bellamy said.

"And how do you see fit?" Octavia said, scared for his answer.

"I'm going to spank her." Bellamy said.

"Bell....."

"No, O. She needs to learn. I've been too slack with her. I'm tightening the reins starting now." Bellamy said and walked away before Octavia could stop him.

He stormed into his tent with the fabric clenched in his hands. Isobel hadn't seen her dad this morning so she was happy to see him. She ran over to him and lifted her arms for him to pick her up.

"Daddy!! I missed you!" She said when he didn't pick her up.

"Stop." He said firmly, a tone Isobel wasn't really used to, it kind of scared her, so she started backing away from her dad.

"I found this near Penny, who wasn't awake." Bellamy said holding up the fabric. Isobel looked down at her shirt which there was a rip.

"Daddy....." Isobel began, but Bellamy wasn't having it.

"Stop it, Isobel. I know your jealous of Penny, for whatever reason, but this is unacceptable. You cannot hurt people and put them in danger!" Bellamy yelled, which mad Isobel jump. She didn't say anything, she was too scared.

"I'm going to make sure of that.
Your grounded for a month. No leaving this tent all day tomorrow. I have to think on other punishments."!Bellamy said and he grabbed Isobels and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Don't ever do that again." He said firmly, Isobel winced, mainly because her daddy was scary when he was angry. And he was very angry.

"I'm sorry, daddy." Isobel said.

"Just fo to bed. When I get back I want you asleep." He said firmly as he left the tent, leaving his daughter in pitch black.

Isobel got into her bed, thinking that her daddy didn't want her in his tonight. She couldn't sleep without anyone here or in the dark. But she knew her daddy was angry, so she ended up crying herself to sleep.
