McKinley's POV
Why did it crash like that? I thought to myself.
Bellamy, Finn, Raven, a few others and I went to the wreckage to see what went down. The wreckage was pretty intense. Whoever was on this ship was burned alive. Everything was grim looking. I looked at Clarke as she was looking around. I feel horrible for her. She's already lost her father and now her mother?
"Hey, you okay?" Bellamy asked me.
"Yeah, I'm fine,"
"Stay sharp. Grounder retaliation is coming for what happened at the bridge. It's just a matter of when" Bellamy yelled.
"Can you blame them?" Finn asked.
"No, I blame you,"
"Maybe if you didn't bring-"
"If we didn't, we would've been killed," Raven said.
"It doesn't matter why they're coming. All that matters when they are coming," I snapped.
"You only say that is cause you're dating Bellamy," Finn said.
I chuckled and walked up to him. Bellamy stood between us facing me though. I looked at Bell and placed my right hand on his left arm.
"I'm agreeing with Bellamy because he's right. If they didn't bring those guns, Clarke, Octavia and you would've been killed. It doesn't matter who fired the first shot. Grounders brought weapons yet told you to bring no weapons? That should've been a red flag," I said.
"Clarke stop!" Raven said running to her and we followed.
"Rocket fuel?" She asked.
"Hydrazine. This stuff is highly unstable in its unsolid from. If this stuff meets fire, we are all pink mist," She said dipping a rock in it.
"Fire in the hole,"
Then she threw a rock into the fire and it made a huge explosion.
"We need to clear out the area," Raven said.
"Okay then. We're moving out. No straggling. Weapons hot. We need to make it back before it's dark.

"He's back," Some guys told Bellamy.
"Who?"
"Murphy,"
"What? Where?"
"He's in the dropship," Bellamy nodded and went to the dropship. Clarke, Finn and I all followed Bellamy into the dropship.
"Where is he?" Bellamy asked.
People moved to where we can get to we could get to Murphy.
"Everyone out now besides Connor and Derek," Bellamy ordered.
Once I saw how awfully bloody Murphy's face was, I grabbed Bellamy's wrist. He looked down at his wrist and back at me.
"You okay? You need to leave," He said to me. I looked back at Murphy and back at Bellamy.
"I'm fine and no," I said.
"He claims he was with the grounders," Derek said.
"We caught him trying to sneak into the camp," Connor said.
"I wasn't sneaking. I was running away from the grounders," Murphy said.
"Did anyone see any grounders?"
"Uh-uh,"
"Well if that's the case," Bellamy said aiming the gun at Murphy and my arm slipped off his wrist.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Finn asked pushing the gun down.
"Hey, we were clear on what happens if he came back," Bellamy said.
"If he was with the grounders, he will know things we don't," Finn said.
"And you think he will talk to us?"
"Finn's right," Clarke said going up to Murphy and picking up his hand.
"Like hell he is. Clarke think about Charlotte,"
"I am thinking about her. What happen is just as much as our fault as his,"
"He's telling the truth, his fingernails are gone. They tortured him," Clarke added.
"You and t grounders should compare notes," Finn said.
"Back off, Finn," I said.
"The grounders know we are at war. What did you tell them about us?"
"Everything," He said.
We all look at each other and Clarke gets up.
"Once he gets better, we find out what he knows, then he leaves, okay?"
"What if he refuses to leave?"
"Then kill him," Clarke said walking out.
I walked out and the camp and took a deep breath. I felt someone's arms wrapped around my lower waist. I looked to the side and saw that it was Bellamy. I pulled his arms tighter around me and laid my head under his chin.
"It's not easy being under all this pressure to do the right thing for the camp?" I asked.
"No, it's not,"
I turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck. He places his forehead against mine.
"It'll get better when the rest of the Ark comes down," I said.
"Probably not," He said. I looked at him.
"No matter who's in charge of us and our protection. I will focus on protecting you," I smiled.
"I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself,"
"I know you can, princess. But that's my job. My job is to protect you and of course my sister," He said kissing me.
"Gotta deal with some stuff,"
"You do that," I said kissing him again. I walked to where they were cooking and Finn was sitting there.
"Where's Bellamy?"
"I don't know? Security?" I asked.
"You don't know where? I'm shocked. As you are up his ass," Finn said.
I chuckled.
"Finn, I would suggest you fixing your relationship problems and not focus on mine," He looks at me.
"Oh yeah, I know you had sex with Clarke and you're dating Raven,"
"How?"
"It's written all over you and Clarke. Stay out of my relationship. At least I'm not leading two guys on at once," I said leaving the area.
A few people started to cough and one starts puking up blood. I saw Bell walked into the dropship and I followed.
"What's going on?" I asked. Bellamy quickly put his arm around me and pushed me back.
"You were waiting for grounder retaliation? Well, here it is. Murphy is the weapon,"
"Huh?"
"The grounders are using Murphy. Biological warfare. They infected him using some kind of infection. Whatever it is, it spread through contact," Finn came through.
"Finn, you shouldn't be here. No one should," Clarke said.
Then we heard Derek start coughing and throwing up right next to me and then he stopped. Bellamy pushed me away from him. Clarke went over there and checked on him.
"Is he-" Bellamy asked
"Derek's dead,"
"Connor, we need to know who was with you when you got Murphy. Think,"
"Octavia was the first ones there," Bellamy's face instantly went grim.
He grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the dropship.
"You need to go our tent and stay there till this get over with. Do not touch anyone," I nodded.
"What are you gonna do?"
"Check on Octavia," He said.
