                 Third Person POV

It had been a few weeks since Bellamy and Clarke brought guns back from the bunker.

A few weeks since the grounder had escaped. Bellamy was insistent that everyone in camp learn the basics to use a gun.

In those weeks Octavia barely acknowledged Bellamys existence, still hurt and angry over what he had done to Lincoln, and the cruel words he had said to her. The wall around camp had been completed but it had in no way interfered with Octavia and Kayleigh sneaking out of camp to see Lincoln. Most times Kayleigh covered for Octavia for when the couple wanted to be alone. But the times when Kayleigh joined them was when she felt most free.

It was here she felt her strongest, here deep in the woods she felt like she was home. Deep in the woods away from prying sights, Lincoln had been training go the girls to fight like the grounders do. Since Kayleigh already had some training from her time being locked away on the Ark, Lincoln was merely teaching her how to hone in skills with hand to hand combat along with weapons. Sparring with him reminded her of O'Neill. He didn't take it easy on her or Octavia, constantly pushing them to the breaking point. They would go back to camp with scrapes and bruises, whenever it was questioned they just told others that Kayleigh was teaching Octavia how to defend herself. No one questioned it after that.

Breathing heavily, Kayleigh reaches for the hand Lincoln held out to her pulling her back up into an upright position, after sending her to the ground.

"You're getting better. Soon you'll be as good as me." Lincoln said with a small smile

"Just not today. One day I will beat you Lincoln." Kayleigh said dusting off the back of her pants.

"Ge smak daun, gyon op nodotaim."

"You're too hard on yourself," Octavaia said from the rock she was currently perched on. "At least you got him down once. I still haven't even managed to get one good hit in."

Lincoln let out a chuckle making his way over to Octavia. "You both are doing well. Kayleigh is more experienced than you it's true, but you're learning." Leaning in they share a kiss.

"It's midday now. I've been gone long enough, I'm going to head back to camp" Kayleigh said as the two broke apart.

"I'll come with you." Octavia sais pulling away from Lincoln

"No, stay." Kayleigh said shaking her head. "You've been with me all morning until now, you two deserve some time alone together.. No" Kayleigh said when Octavia goes to protest, "Stay I'll cover for you."

"Thank you" Octavia said gratefully, Lincoln nodded his head in thanks.

The couple turns hand and hand heading towards Lincolns cave. Instead of going straight to camp Kayleigh made a detour to the lake.
By the time she got there the sun was shinning brightly, and there wasn't anyone around.
Taking advantage of being alone Kayleigh quickly shed off her clothing bringing them into the water with her. She vigorously scrubbed the clothing giving it the good wash it needed before laying them on the near by rocks to dry under the heat of the sun.

Walking deeper into the water she takes a deep breath before diving under the water completely submerging herself. She wasn't under long before she felt the water around her move. Pushing herself up to the surface, she uses one hand to push her hair back from her face, looking around to see what was there. Turning around she saw Bellamy standing only a few feet away from her.
