"Help me!" I turned to see Raven stumbling out of the dropship. Shirt stained with blood on one side.

"Raven!" I ran over to her. Wrapping an arm round her waist and slinging her arm over my shoulder.

"Murphy shot her!" Bellamy stated looking at me. Finn picked her up bridal style.

"Get her into the dropship." Clarke ordered. Finn started to head there. Clarke started to follow.

"Clarke, leaving here is a mistake." Bellamy said gently.

"The decision's been made."

"Crowds make bad decisions," Bellamy argued back. "Just ask Murphy. Leaders do what they think is right."

"I am." Clarke headed to the dropship. I stood there with Bellamy as we watched our friends, our family collect their things.

"Bellamy!" He looked at me. "I don't want to leave." He nodded and wrapped his arms round me.

"I know." He sighed into my hair. "Did you mean what you mouthed in the dropship?" I pulled away and looked at him.

"Yes. I don't know what I'd do without you around." He lent in and whispered in my ear. Pulling away I smiled at him. Earth wasn't so bad after all.

I decided to keep away from the dropship for a while. The sight of someone else I cared about being in pain was too much to handle. After a while Bellamy came out. "They're lining up to go." I told him as he approached.

"They listen to Clarke more." He gently said rubbing the base of my spine.

"I gave them an easy choice." Clarke said coming up next to Bellamy. "Five minutes ago they were willing to fight and die for you." Bellamy continued to look at the crowds gathering by the gate, "Bellamy you inspire them, and when things get hard, we're gonna need that. They need you to be the leader you've always been. We need you to come." Bellamy just looked to the ground, not saying anything. Clarke nodded and headed to the gate.

After a while, people started to move out. Bellamy and I stood looking around. Bellamy was right. This was our home. We managed to survive here on a number of occasions, and now, now we just leave it.

"You did good here Bellamy." I said looking at him.

He shook his head. "Eighteen dead!"

"Eighty two alive." I reminded him. "You did good."

Bellamy nodded, pick up a bucket of water and threw it on the fire. It sizzled out. I took hold of Bellamy's hand and we walked out of camp. I looked over my shoulder, getting one last look at our home.

We wasn't long into our trek when Octavia came to a stop, telling everyone to stop as well. I looked around not seeing anything. "Grounders!" Jasper shouted. No sooner had he everyone was running back to camp. I kept on jumping over roots, so that I didn't trip. We finally made it back. Once everyone was in we shut the gates and locked them. Bellamy told the gunners to man their post.

"Looks like you got your fight!" Clarke huffed at him. We all walked to the dropship and stood round a makeshift battlefield.

"So how are we going to do this?" I asked not sure this would work.

"We've got 25 rifles with 20 rounds each, give or take. Roughly 500 rounds of ammo." Bellamy stated looking at the table. "Whilst you two were gone." He looked up at Finn and Clarke. "We made some improvements. Thanks to Raven, the gully is mined."

"Partially mined." She corrected. "Thanks to Murphy."

"Still, it's the main route in." He said point to the map. "If the Grounders use it, we'll know. She also built grenades." He lift one up.
