Braeya sprints through the trees after Lincoln. Her breath wheezes and her body screams at her to stop but Lincoln is only just ahead of her.

"Is there two of them? There's another person running!" Braeya hears Jasper's voice behind her and she pushes herself to run faster.

"I don't know who it is!" Bellamy responds.

Twigs snap and Braeya looks over her shoulder to see one of the Skaikru members trip and collide with the ground, she curses angrily and the others slow down to help her.

"Lincoln!" Braeya takes a risk and calls out to him whilst the others are distracted. Lincoln slows down slightly to let Braeya catch up.

"What?"

"Oso souda gyon au, Skaikru get in oso are hir en are chasing after yumi!" (We have to go, Skaikru know we're here and are chasing after us!)

"Yu gyon au, ai laik going bakon ga gada," (You go, I'm going back for the girl.) Lincoln replies.

"Chit? Chomouda?" (What? Why?) Braeya asks but Lincoln ignores her and runs ahead of her. Braeya harshly kicks a stray twig in frustration but continues after him, she can't let Lincoln face Skaikru alone.

Braeya looks up again to see the back of Lincoln disappear into his cave and slows to a halt just outside of it. She scans the trees for signs of people but all is silent, maybe Skaikru has lost their trail.

The sound of a rock hitting something hard and Lincoln grunting startles Braeya and she darts into the cave to find Lincoln unconscious on the ground. Octavia crouches next to him and grabs the keys to her chains from his wrist, before she can do anything with the key Braeya charges forwards and shoves Octavia to the ground. The key flies out of her hands and falls to the ground.

"Hey, hey! Wait! Let me go, and I'll send the others away, we won't bother you after that." Braeya tips her head to the side and stares at Octavia, she wonders whether the girl is telling the truth but before either of the girls can do anything else Bellamy bursts through the entrance and stares at them in bewilderment.

Braeya quickly draws her sword and points it at him threateningly and Bellamy raises his axe in response.

"We've got compan-" But before Bellamy can finish his sentence Braeya strikes out, quick as lightning and knocks his weapon out of his hands, it lands with a soft clatter on the ground. The girl from the Skaikru group rushes in and fires her gun at Braeya without hesitation. Dark velvet blood oozes thickly from the new formed hole in Braeya's left thigh and she falls to the ground. Blood soaks the fabric of her pants but Braeya can't feel any pain because of the adrenaline.

She looks to the side to see her sword but before she can grab it Bellamy kicks it away. Behind the sword a boy from their group crouches down over Lincoln and examines his fog horn. Braeya draws out her dagger from her wrist and throws it at the boy's leg, it sticks into his flesh and he cries out and clutches his leg. Lincoln then springs up from the ground and stabs him in the chest and he falls to the ground. Bellamy rushes over to the boy but Lincoln kicks him and he falls to the ground. Braeya grabs onto the wall and pulls herself to her feet, she favours her injured leg and leans all of her weight onto her right side.

Lincoln and Bellamy wrestle on the ground until Lincoln ends up on top with a spear pointed at Bellamy's chest. Braeya draws her attention from them to the girl who shot her, she raises her gun at Braeya again but she leaps forward and tears the weapon away from her arms. Braeya uses the butt of the gun and slams it into the girl's stomach, she grunts and clutches her stomach but doesn't back down. She throws a punch at Braeya but it is weak and has no power behind it, Braeya dodges the punch brings her knee to the girl's stomach once again and this time she falls to the ground.
