Scarlett had her head perched onto her knees as she sat in the rover whilst Bellamy drove them to Arkadia. Her mind was going a thousand miles per hour and causing a headache that made her cringe several times when Bellamy decided to speed over a bumpy part of the ground.

The only reason that Scarlett left with Clarke and Bellamy is because Roan had assured them that if an attack would happen on their people, they would meet the blade. She had momentarily thanked her sister for seeing good in almost everyone and pushing on every button on Roan until she had hit the right one.

"Scar?" Bellamy spoke up, glancing at his girlfriend for a second before paying attention to where he drove once again. She looked up at him, lifting her head from her knees and made a sound at the back of her throat to let him know she had heard him. "Are you alright?"

Scarlett sighed and let her feet slide off the seat, "Think so, just thinking about the past two days I guess." She answered him honestly but vaguely.

"Care to explain?" He asked her.

She chuckled a little before talking. "Just knowing that we have a little less than six months to come up with an solution and the fact this thing with Azgeda is not going to last long. Echo is a sly bitch, if she wants something, she gets it. You saw that when she beheaded that Ambassador. She is willing to kill for it." It flew out of her mouth but Bellamy was able to hear it just fine.

"Focus on now and not what might happen, Scar. We already have enough on our plate and having you panicking about won't help neither situation much." Bellamy pointed out.

The blonde bit her lip and was silent for a moment before answering. "I'm a very calm person, mind you." She scoffed playfully and crossed her arms. As she looked at him, she noticed him raise a brow, open his mouth to say something and then close it again as if he changed his mind. Instead, he let a smirk appear.

Scarlett let out an airy chuckle and shook her head before everything fell quiet again. She checked on her sister from time to time, who was asleep in the back of the rover, but nothing out of the ordinary happened on their way to Arkadia.

When they finally arrived, Scarlett had jumped eagerly out of the car and onto the soft soil. Raven, Monty and Harper were standing outside, already informed of their arrival.

A bright smile appeared on her face as she saw them and she couldn't help herself as she ran towards them and engulfing them all three in a bone crushing group hug.

Bellamy watched his girlfriend as he stepped out of the rover, not able to keep the smile of his face as he saw that she was smiling the way he adored so much. He craved to see that smile more often, but these times weren't very giving.

"I'm so glad you guys are okay." Scarlett murmured, releasing them. Raven chuckled as did the other two, "Where is Jasper?" She asked, noticing that he wasn't with them.

"Not sure," Harper shrugged, "but he isn't himself." Scarlett raised her brow and as soon as Clarke (who Bellamy had woken up) and Bellamy joined her side, greeting the others with hugs, they went into explaining, telling them what had happened when they were away.

Two days later, taking turns in resting and catching up with the sleep that was highly need for the most of them, they still hadn't figured out a solution to not die in six months.

As soon as everyone was caught up with all the details of what had happened in Arkadia and in Polis, they immediately started with working on plans, but none had come up and they were all getting frustrated.
