"They should be here by now." I exclaimed as I paced back and forth within the Drop Ship. Bellamy, Raven and I had arrived over 20 minutes ago, and there was still no sign of my brother and Clarke, "They left before us, there's no reason they shouldn't be here." I was close to tears at this point, automatically assuming the worst.
Bellamy stepped out in front of me, stopping my pacing as he placed his hands on each of my shoulders, "They'll be here." he promised.
Raven watched the two of us, letting out a small sigh before she stood up, "I'm going to check again."
The minute she exited the ship, I took a seat, shoving my face into my hands, "I shouldn't have left him. They could be dead right now for all we know."
Raven reentered the ship a few moments later, "No sign of them."
Bellamy shook his head, "Where are they?" he wondered.
Raven mimicked my regret, "We never should have split up."
The minute the words left her mouth, the sound of footsteps could be heard coming towards the ship. I perked up, standing up and joining Raven and Bellamy.
"Someone's coming." Bellamy announced as he raised his gun, aiming it towards the entrance. I stood beside him, eagerly awaiting the arrival of whoever it was, hoping it was my brother.
When the curtain was pushed aside and the figure came into sight, I was utterly disappointed. "Murphy?" I questioned, confused as to why he was here.
Murphy held up his hands at the sight of Bellamy's gun, "Woah, woah."
Bellamy lowered his gun, giving Murphy the same confused look I was, "What are you doing here?"
Murphy let out a small laugh, "I believe I was invited..."
I scrunched up my face, "By who?"
"I thought we could use an extra gun." Raven explained, giving me a reassuring look.
Bellamy nodded, his eyes shifting from Murphy to Raven, "Might be a good idea."
Upon Bellamy's approval, Murphy made his way further into the Drop Ship. "Did you see Finn? They should have been right behind you." I questioned, turning to allow my eyes to follow him.
"Don't worry," he brushed off my concerns as he walked away from me, "Spacewalker will be fine."
I rolled my eyes as I turned back to the door, "Useless." I grumbled, focusing my attention back on the hopeful return of my brother. Raven stood beside me, the same worried expression on her face.
I looked over at her through the corner of my eye, eventually reaching down and taking her hand in mine. I gave it a small squeeze as she looked over to me with a small smile. Through everything, I knew I always had Raven. I felt like she was the one person who truly understood what I was going through when it came to Finn.
