"Clarke shouldn't be out here." Finn said from a distance as Taya looked up.

"Her mom was on the ship." Raven said.

"She's looking for answers." Taya piped up, before tossing a sheet of metal to the side. "Doubt she's gonna find anything here, everything's trashed." Taya sighed, looking around in distain.

"Oh ye of little faith. We'll see yet, just keep looking for the black box, hard drives, anything that can explain why this ship crashed." Raven said.

"Aye, aye, Captain." Taya sighed, continuing to look around.

"Stay sharp. Grounder retaliation for what happened on the bridge is coming, just a matter of when." Bellamy announced to everyone. Taya's eyebrows briefly went up in a way of saying "no shit."

"Can you blame them?" Finn questioned passive aggressively.

"No. I blame you." Bellamy said, skipping the passive part of things.

"Maybe if you didn't bring guns—." Finn started.

"If we didn't bring guns we all would've been killed." Raven snapped.

"I bet the grounders are thinking the same thing right about now with the archers in the trees." Taya spoke up.

"What they're thinking and why they're coming doesn't matter anymore. It's our job to be ready when they do. We're on our own now." Bellamy said and Taya sat down with a heavy sigh to relieve the pressure off her hurt calf.

Bellamy saw this and walked over.

"You shouldn't be here. I don't think I want to know how you got that arrow out but I'm guessing it needs more than one night's sleep to feel okay." Bellamy said.

"Yeah well, like you said, it's our job to make sure we don't die because of the bridge. I'm just doing it. Thanks for the concern." Taya said in a tone that suggested she really didn't care for his concern before bracing to stand up.

"Taya, stop!" Raven yelled, rushing over as Taya immediately froze.

"What?" Taya asked her voice a little scared and the seriousness in Raven's.

"You're sitting on a barrel full of hydrazine. It's highly unstable in the nonsolid form. It's a miriacle it didn't explode just by you sitting on it. Get up really slowly and then we gotta clear the area." Raven said.

Bellamy reached out his hand and Taya took it in fear of blowing up and slowly rose off of it, before backing away as fast as she could on one leg.

Raven walked forward and dipped a rock in it.

"Fire in the hole!" She yelled as a warning to others before throwing it in a nearby fire, the explosion extremely alarming and impressive for the small amount she used.

"Clear out!" Raven yelled.

"We move in formation, no straggling, weapons hot. We got to get back before dark." Bellamy yelled to everyone as they set off back to camp.

"Where is he?" Bellamy demanded, storming into the dropship with Taya on her heels, her anger allowing her to limp fast enough to keep up with him. Everyone backed away to let them go by.

"Oh god..." Taya whispered in shock as she saw Murphy who was covered in cuts and his own blood.

"Everyone but Conner and Derek out... now!" Bellamy ordered and everyone hurried out.

"He claims he was with the grounders." Derek said.

"We caught him trying to sneak back into camp." Conner explained.
