"Hey sweetheart." I say walking up to Charlotte who was tying ropes.

"Hi." She says quietly.

"You okay?" I ask ruffling the top of her head.

"Yeah I'm fine." She says quiet but not as quiet as before.

"Okay. Want some help?" I ask her starting to tie another rope.

"Yeah sure." She says.

"Hey!" Murphy voice bellows once a kid stops carrying a log. "You think the grounders are just going to sit around and wait for us to build the wall?" Murphy asks the guy. "Maybe we should let the little girl do the lifting for you. Huh?" Murphy suggests.

"I just need some water okay. Then I'll be fine." The guy explains looking up at Murphy.

"I can get-" I start to offer.

"Murphy, get this guy some water." Bellamy instructs. "Hey, you got this?" Bellamy asks Charlotte referring to the literal tree. She nods hesitantly and goes over to the trunk and goes to lift it.

"Bell." I scoff looking at my little sister and him.

"Hey, I'm just kidding." Bellamy explains smiling at Charlotte.

Once Bellamy walks away Murphy walks back over to the guy resting and unzips his pants to start peeing on the guy.

"Ugh! What the hell is wrong with you Murphy?" The guy asks standing up disgusted as he pushes at him only to be refrained by two of Murphy's friends.

"Get back to work!" Murphy instructs the camp.

"Get dickweed." I fall out walking over to Murphy.

"What does Little Miss Sunshine want now?" Murphy asks rolling his eyes.

"You to stop being a dick. Next time just get the guy a water." I instruct. "Maybe You should get back to work. After all the grounders won't wait." I say pushing him back a little then walking back to Charlotte and continuing to help her tie the ropes.

"This knife was made of metal from the drop ship." I state as I study the knife in the tent. Octavia and Jasper found Wells' fingers and a knife next to them.

"What do you mean?" Jasper asks.

"Who else knows about this?" Bellamy asks.

"No one. We brought then straight here." Octavia answers.

"Elliana?" Jasper asks.

"It means the grounders didn't kill Wells. It was one of us." Clarke explains.

"So there's a murderer in the camp?" Jasper asks worried.

"There's more than one murderer in this camp, guys." I say looking at everyone.

"This isn't news. We need to keep it quiet." Bellamy adds. After a second of silence Clarke heads to walkout the tent making me and Bellamy automatically move to block her path.

"Move out of my way." She instructs.

"We need to be smart about this Clarke." I advice still not moving.

"Look at what we've achieved-" Bellamy starts. "The wall, the patrols. Like it or not, thinking the grounders killed Wells is good for us." Bellamy explains.

"Oh good for you, you mean?" Clarke counters. "What? Keep people afraid and they'll work for you? Is that it?" Clarke asks.

"Yeah. That's it." Bellamy answers quickly.
