The grounder stretched his bow and aimed the arrow for Willa's head. Willa's heart pounded on her chest and her eyes were set on the arrow. Willa get down, she heard someone shouting, but standing frozen on her place, she couldn't even say who's voice was it. She wanted to move but she couldn't. It was like she had forget how to do it.

At the last second with the bow all stretched, Willa saw as the grounder pointed the arrow a little to the side and let the arrow fly. WILLA! She only had time to close her eyes and wait for the pain. 1, 2, 3, 4. The pain never came.

She slowly opened her eyes and looked at her body, only to find it unharmed. Looking behind her, she saw the arrow stuck on the tree. Did he choose not to kill me? When she looked at the tree where the grounder was, she saw that he was already gone.

"Willa, are you okay?" She turned around to see Bellamy rushing to her. He grabbed her and inspected her body, looking for any sign of injury. Willa didn't said anything and just nodded her head. "Come on, we got to go." He grabbed her hand and dragged her away toward camp, away from danger.

When they approached home, they saw everybody already there, catching their breath. Bellamy let go of Willa's hand, that bent down to catch, her too, her breath. God, how I hate running.

"You got anything to say?" Bellamy asked Finn, obviously pissed off.

"Yeah." Finn looked at Clarke, that was still trying to calm her breaths like everybody else. "I told you no guns!"

"I told you we couldn't trust the grounders!" She snapped at him. "I was right."

"Why didn't you tell me what you were up to?" Raven asked Finn.

"I tried, but you were too busy making bullets for your gun." He said, trying to defend himself.

"God, you're a really shitty boyfriend, Finn." Willa threw. Pointing at Raven, she continued. "You're lucky she brought that! They came there to kill you."

"You don't know that! Jasper fired the first shot!" He shouted, pointing at Jasper that was behind him.

Octavia glanced, surprised at Jasper. Her expression quickly turned into an angry one. "You ruined everything." She said, before storming away inside the camp.

"I saved you!" He yelled at her, also angry. "You're welcome." He too, walked away, following Octavia inside the camp.

"Well, if we weren't at war already, we sure as hell are now." Finn told them. He then turned his eyes to look at Clarke, a wave of betrayal running through his eyes. "You didn't have to trust the grounders. You just had to trust me."

"Look where her trust in you led her." Willa said. Finn just rolled his eyes and walked away, followed by Raven, leaving Willa, Bellamy and Clarke behind.

Clarke took her eyes from the camp, or better, Finn, and looked at Willa. "Thank you."

Willa already knew why she was thanking her for. With a fake smile, she approached her. "If someone is going to kill you, is going to be me." Clarke rolled her eyes and mumbled a 'sure'.

Willa walked inside the tent, finding Octavia sitting on her bed, hugging her legs against her chest. When she saw her, Octavia let out a sigh and lay down with her back turned to her. Willa sat down on her bed, looking at her friend. She opened her mouth to say something, but Octavia was faster.
