Murphy was shocked by the sudden source of intimacy that was happening, it was something that he hadn't experienced since the last time he touched Emori. Out of nowhere, Raven had just straddled his lap and locked lips with him, Murphy nervously placed a hand on her back, but Raven suddenly pulled away in a moment of sudden embarrassment.

Murphy looked up at her, worried as to why she has stopped so suddenly and carefully pressed his forehead to hers before opening his mouth to speak.

"Raven, I... I don't think I'm ready to be with somebody yet." He said, as his voice shook.

Raven nodded her head and slowly began retreating herself from sitting on his lap before standing and placing her hand on the back of her neck awkwardly.

"Murphy... I need to tell you something... I found a way for us to return to Earth this month instead of next month."

"The problem is I still need to get the ship working which doesn't seem possible to do within a week before we miss the landing spot for Arkadia."

Murphy's eyes widened and he turned around to face Raven, "What? But it's not safe for another month, how would that be possible?"

Raven reached into her back pocket and pulled out the tissue that she had wiped Echo's finger with. "This is from Echo, I discovered that she has nightblod. I can replicate this and create more to inject into all of us so that we can withstand the radiation when we get back down to Earth, I learnt from Abby"

Murphy's eyebrows furrowed, "How can she be a nightblod? She was never trained as one or sent to the conclave like Ontari or Lexa."

"She didn't know she had it, Nia kom Azgeda queen only saw Echo as a spy, she stole Ontari from her family which caused outrage in the clan. She must have known that Echo was a natblida but didn't say anything as the Azgeda nation probably would have wanted her dead if they knew that all along she already had a natblida, before stealing Ontari."

He nodded, "Makes sense."

"Can you go and gather everyone in the main room, I'll go talk to Bellamy."

They both left the room but left in different directions. She walked down the long, cold, and lonely corridor towards Clarke's previously owned cell, which was now recognized as Bellamy's room.

She knocked on the door but there was no response or movement from the inside. So she cracked the door open herself and found a crying Bellamy, sat on the floor, scrubbing away at the drawings Clarke had made.

"Bellamy! What are you doing?" She gasped watching as the lead dissolved from the floor and left streaks.

"It's over. Its too late I'm never going to see her again, it'll be a year before we find a spot from Arkadia again, and what if she's gone by the time we get down?" He sobbed.

She watched as the man she had always known as a strong, fearless leader, fell apart.

"Bellamy I found a way to get down! I just need to fix the spaceship."

He shook his head, "Don't lie to me! I know you're lying."

Raven knelt down in front of him and grabbed his arms to stop him from scrubbing, and with the other, she lifted his face.

"I found a way, Bellamy. I'm not lying!"

Bellamy swooped down and caught her lips in a messy kiss, tangling his hand in her hair. But Raven tried to fight off the kiss, "Make me feel something else, Raven."

She shook her head, "No." She tried to push him away, but he just grabbed her again, "Please. I was there for you when you needed to feel something else." He said desperately.

From the taste in her mouth, she could tell that he had been consuming liquor and that this wasn't really Bellamy talking. It was his subconscious, drunk mind.

"No, Bellamy I will not sleep with you. Yes, we slept together once before when I had problems with Finn. But that was a mistake."

But Bellamy wasn't listening and proceeded to try and kiss Raven, but repeatedly pulling her back down.

"No, stop." She cried, but he ignored her.

"I said no, Bellamy!" She shouted, loud enough to be heard down the hallway.

He continued trying to kiss her, until he was stopped by a sudden punch to the face, via Murphy's clenched fist.

His face instantly cut and began to bleed, and Murphy shook his hand due to a throbbing from the punch.

Raven stood up and clutched onto Murphy.

"She said no!" Murphy yelled as he hugged the girl in his arms.

Bellamy cupped his cheek as it began to bleed, "I'm so sorry." Bellamy whispered.

"We found a way so that YOU could get down to the ground. We were perfectly fine and happy up here. If you need to tell Raven anything or talk to her in any way, it's through me! You don't go near her." He yelled, pulling Raven out of the room with him and leaving Bellamy on the floor crying.

They went back to Raven's workshop and laid on the couch in her room for the rest of the night. That was until the rest of the guys came in wondering why they hadn't gone to the main room after calling a meeting.

They explained how they would get down to earth and everyone agreed and thanked Raven for finding this solution.
