The rain pelted against the metal exterior of the drop ship creating a dancing rhythm, turmoil erupted in camp and everyone had been forced to take shelter inside. The tall trees swished violently as the dark sky rumbled above.
"Clarke! You can help him, right? You'll save him?" Raven spluttered as she tried to contain her sobs.
Finn's unconscious body was sprawled across the metal table that I had spent time on before, Clarke paced back and forth running her hands through her messy blonde hair.
"Raven, I'll do what I can, but I need you to get that radio working. We need to contact the ark!" Clarke urged, I peered out the doorway looking at the storm which had taken over camp.
Octavia held a cloth around Finn's stomach to try and lessen the blood flow which was difficult with the knife still inside his body.
"I need to take the knife out," Clarke stated as she checked Finn's condition.
Raven fumbled with wires emitting sparks from each other as she wired the radio, she bit her lip hard to reduce the trembling motion.
"Octavia I need you to hold Finn really still, if this goes wrong I could hit an artery and it would be very dangerous." Clarke ordered as she prepared to remove the blade.
"Evie, close the drop ship door." I almost followed the call from Clarke when I remembered that Bellamy, Jasper and Monty hadn't returned yet.
Not that I cared much for Bellamy right now.
"Bellamy, Jasper and Monty aren't back yet." I reminded her hesitating at the lever.
"Just close it, they'll find somewhere to ride out the storm." Clarke shot back and her gaze fell back on Finn.
"Please... ark station, the hundred are alive." Raven pleaded as she brought the mouth piece to her face.
There was a crackle from the radio, a screech as Raven adjusted the frequency node.
"This is a restricted channel, state your reason of contact." The words came back through the radio with another crackle.
"This is Raven Reyes of Mecca station, I made it to the ground. The hundred are alive and I need to speak to doctor Abby Griffin.. please."
There was a hum static everything was silent apart from the whizzing of the radio.
"Raven?"
"Mom?" Clarke questioned from the other side of the room.
"Clarke?" The woman's voice answered back.
"Mom I need your help, a boy has been stabbed and the knife is located in his stomach near a major artery." Clarke explained quickly as she eyed Finn's pale skin.
