"Hey!" Clarke yelled, the first to spot Bellamy. They all picked up their pace to reach him as he carried on walking. "Where is it?" Clarke demanded.

"Hey, princess. You taking a walk in the woods?" Bellamy asked, playing dumb.

Taya stalked forward and without thinking, threw her hand across his face. The slap rung throughout the woods as everyone stood in shock, Bellamy the most. "Where is the goddamn radio, Bellamy?" Taya growled angrily as Clarke pulled Taya a few feet away and shot her a stern look, telling her to stay put before turning to a silent Bellamy.

"They're getting ready to kill 300 people up there to save oxygen. And I can guarantee you it won't be council members. It'll be working people. Your people." Clarke stressed, her tone clipped and accusing.

"Bellamy. Where's the radio?" Finn finally caught up, using his still extended energy from running to shove Bellamy.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Bellamy shoved Finn backing getting in his face with a sneer.

"Bellamy Blake? They're looking everywhere for you." Raven said, looking him over, causing everyone except for Taya to look to the girl for a further explanation.

"Shut up." Bellamy growled.

"Why?" Taya demanded, looking to Bellamy and not Raven for the answer. Her eyes had yet to leave Bellamy's since first spotting him.

"He shot chancellor Jaha." Raven said and Taya looked at Bellamy in shock and almost fear, taking an unconscious step away from him. She no longer knew this man.

"That's why you wanted the wristbands. You needed the ark to think we're all dead so they won't come down and float your ass." Taya realized, it all suddenly began making sense and she'd never been more hurt.

"And all the "whatever the hell we want"? You just care about saving your own skin." Finn looked Bellamy over in disgust. Bellamy's jaw clenched and he turned away.

"Hey! Shooter! Where's my radio?" Raven yelled, getting in front of him.

"Get out of my way." He warned.

"Where is it?" She repeated.

"I should've killed you when I had the chance." Bellamy said and Taya looked him over, still not believing the true side of Bellamy.

"Really? Well, i'm right here." Raven pointed out and Bellamy threw her against a tree, a hand on her throat but before he could do anything Taya had cocked the gun and had it against Bellamy's temple.

"Don't think I won't fucking do it." Taya spat harshly. "Where's the radio, for the last time." She cocked the gun.

"Okay, stop it. Taya put down the gun and Bellamy, let her go." Clarke ordered and after a moment Bellamy released Raven and Taya grudgingly lowered the gun, however she didn't put it away.

"Jaha deserves to die. You all know that." Bellamy tried to justify his actions, walking away again.

"Yeah, he's not my favorite person, either. But he isn't dead." Raven called and Bellamy turned around looking relieved.

"What?"

"You're a lousy shot." Raven glared at him.

"Bellamy, don't you see what this means? You're not a murderer. You always did what you had to do to protect your sister. That's who you are. And you can do it again, by protecting 300 of your people. Where's the radio?" Clarke asked softly, and it looked like it was working.

"It's too late." Bellamy confessed. "It's in the river."

"Hey. Found it." Cayden called, picking it up from the stream and shaking some of the water off. Taya shot Bellamy a secret glance before rushing forward. Raven reached Cayden first, taking it from him and inspecting it. Bellamy watched her worriedly from the bank.

"Can you fix it?" Clarke asked.

"Maybe. But it'll take half a day just to dry out the components to see what's broken." Raven sighed.

"Like I said, it's too late." Bellamy commented.

"This is your fault!" Taya exploded, stepping forward and hitting his chest with a pointed and blaming finger. "Do you even care?" Taya questioned, genuinely unsure.

"I helped." Bellamy shrugged, like not only was it a sufficient answer but also like everyone should have been grateful about it.

"300 people." Taya emphasized. "They're dead because of you."

"Hold up. We don't have to talk to the Ark. We just have to let them know we're down here, right?" Raven asked, interrupting.

"Yeah, but how do we do that with no radio?" Finn asked. Raven just sent him a mysterious smile.

Taya watched from the other side of the crowd as the mini rockets/flares were launched. The crowd oooh'ed.

Taya turned as Bellamy walked up next to her, looking at the flares anxiously. She ignored him and turned back towards them.

"You think they can see them from up there?" Bellamy asked quietly, full well knowing Taya didn't want to talk to him.

"I hope so." Taya said quietly as well, keeping her answer short.

"So do I." Bellamy agreed and it was silent for a moment. "Look, I'm sorry can I just explain—." Bellamy started to say.

"No. Ive been thinking a lot, Bellamy and I know why you did it. I understand why you did everything. Just not interested in us anymore." Taya said, pushing away any feelings that didn't agree with what she's set her mind to. She started to turn away.

"Wait! I know it might not look it but my feelings weren't some kind of lie or fake." He turned, stopping her by gently grabbing her wrist.

"I said no." Taya repeated, trying not to show how much she was hurting, "I saw the girls, Bellamy." She revealed before slipping away.

"Hey!" Cayden called, catching up to her. "Is everything okay?" Cayden asked.

"No." Taya shook her head as a tear secretly rolled down her cheek. She continuing to walk as Cayden was forced to match her stride.

"Is there anything I can do?" He asked, touching her forearm comfortingly and causing the two to stop.

Taya's mind jumped to one thing, and it was cruel and wrong but she was hurt. And this was the only way she knew how to get Bellamy back.

So she leaned in, kissing Cayden deeply, using him to get her emotions out, and he let her. Taya knew why, she knew it was because Cayden actually liked her and that should have convinced her not to do it, knowing it was going to hurt Cayden seeing how she didn't feel the same way.

But right now she didn't care. She just needed to try and prove that Bellamy had no power over her despite what might have been the truth and that he did.

"You got a tent?" She asked, breaking away from him with heavy breaths. He nodded and she kissed him again hungrily. "Show me." She ordered and he lead her off quickly.

Meanwhile, Bellamy watched from afar, feeling hurt but knowing he couldn't be mad, after all he'd done the same thing. He'd slept with the two girls in response to her dodging out of his initial first attempt at a kiss.

But this knowledge didn't make it hurt any less.
