Special Case of Kane

11

"Clarke and Skyla shouldn't be out here." Finn says.

"Clarke's mom and Skyla's dad were on the ship." Raven informs him. "They are looking for answers. You want to help them, find me the black box, hard drives, anything that will explain why this ship crashed."

"Stay sharp." Bellamy demands, and I tense at his voice. "Grounder retaliation for what happened at the bridge is coming, it's just a matter of when."

"Can you blame them?" Finn asks.

"No." Bellamy replies. "I blame you."

"If we didn't bring guns, we would've been killed." Raven adds.

"Why they're coming doesn't matter anymore." Bellamy states, he eyes me carefully. "It's our job to be ready when they do. We're on our own now."

"Oh!" I squeal as I go near a substance.

"Skyla, stop!" Raven exclaims and I jump back.

"Rocket fuel?" I ask.

"Hydrazine." Raven informs me. "Highly unstable in it's non solid form. If this stuff meets fire, we're all in pink must." She lights a match, "Fire in the hole!!"

She throws it and boom, the hydrazine explodes, making me fall on my butt. Bellamy helps me up and I thank him, then dust my pants odd.

"We need to clear the area." Clarke adds.

"Okay, then." Bellamy states and he hands me a gun. "We move in formation, no straggling, weapons hot. We got to get back before dark. Kane, stay with me."

I nod and I stay with Bellamy, our weapons hot.

"Where is he?" I snap as Bellamy and I get back to the dropship, we just caught word John Murphy is back,

"Everyone but Connor and Derek out, now." Bellamy demands. "Skyla, you stay." He grabs my hand to keep me from walking out.

"We caught him trying to sneak back into camp." Connor says. \

"I wasn't sneaking." Murphy grumbles. "I was running from the grounders."

"Uh-huh." Connor says.

"Anyone see any grounders?" I ask.

"Uh-uh." Connor replies.

"Well, in that case." I go to shoot Murphy but Spacewalker stops me.

"What the hell is wrong with you!?" Finn declares.

"Bellamy was clear what would happen if this scum came back." I say in a calm voice, Murphy looks terrified of me.

"No." Finn demands. "If we was with the Grounders, then he knows things that could help us."

"Help us?" Bellamy scoffs. "We hanged him. We banished him, and now we're gonna kill him. Get the hell out of Skyla's way."

"No, Finn's right." Clarke demands.

"Like hell he is, Clarke." Bellamy sighs. "Think about Charlotte."

"I am thinking of her, but what happened to Charlotte is just as much our fault as it is his." Clarke claims.

I squat down an Murphy flinches as I grab his hand. "He isn't lying. His fingernails were tore off... They tortured him."

"You and the grounders should compare notes." Finn tells me.

"Try me, Spacewalker, try me." I hiss.

"Easy." Bellamy says as he steps between us, I am still looking over Murphy, my hand tightly around his wrist, his blood all over me. "The grounders know we're at war. What did you tell them about us?"
