ALL OF THE delinquents were out in the river, searching for the radio that Bellamy threw in it. Elys sat next to Bellamy on the shore. "Bell...are you okay?"

He doesn't meet her eye. "300 people. Because of me."

"Bellamy, no." She grabs his chin, forcing him to look at her. "You will not blame yourself. You didn't know. You were protecting us. Me. Octavia."

"Elys, I don't know how to live with this."

"You live with it by seeing us everyday. By living on the ground in spite of what all we've faced." She says, her arm wrapping gently around his shoulder, as they watch the rest of the delinquents wade through the water. Her heart was breaking seeing him like this. He was always so strong and this was such a change.

Suddenly, they hear Jones. "Hey! I found it!"

Raven takes the radio and everyone walks to shore. She studies it.

"Can you fix it?"

Raven sighs. "Maybe, but it'll take half the day just to dry out the components to see what's broken."

Bellamy looks down. "Like I said, it's too late."

Clarke storms up to him, pushing his chest roughly. "Do you have any idea what you did? Do you even care?!"

"Hey!" Elys pushes her back, angrily. "Back off, Clarke." She says, standing protectively in front of Bellamy.

They glare at each other and then look at Raven as she speaks. "Hold up. We don't have to talk to the Ark. We just have to let them know we're down here, right?"

"But how?" Finn asks.

She grins at him.

This is how they found themselves working on launching solar flares into the sky. Raven had given everyone jobs and they finally were done. They launched the solar flares and Elys stood with Finn and Bellamy, silently praying that they worked.

Elys was sitting in her tent when Bellamy burst in. "Have you seen Octavia?!"

She sits up. "Not since in the woods. Why?"

"I've checked the entire camp. She's not here." He says, beginning to panic.

Elys puts a hand on his shoulder. "Bell, calm down. We're gonna find her. Let's check again. You check the tents. I'll check the dropship."
