After a long day, I lie down in my cot, closing my eyes and pulling the sheets over my cold body. I can't wait to have a long nights rest because this has been a very stressful day. Suddenly, I hear my tent opens and I groan, pulling the covers over my face to cover from the light. "What the hell?" I exclaim, not knowing who's there and why they're disturbing me.

"Have you seen Octavia?" The person says and I recognise the voice to be Bellamy's. Of course he'd choose to disturb me. 

"No. She's probably run off to the butterfly field or something. Now can you go, I'm trying to get some-" Only I'm cut off of Bellamy pulling the covers off my shivering body and I scoff in surprise. "Bellamy what the hell!? I could have been naked?" I shout at him. 

"She's not in camp, I'm worried about her." He tells me and I roll my eyes before sitting up. 

"Fine, I'll help find her." I tell him grabbing my jacket before leaving my tent with him. "Just know, I'm not doing this for you, especially after today." I remind him.

He doesn't respond but looks at me for a moment. I think it hurt his feelings, if he has any.

"How many people are helping?"

"I've only asked you and a few others so far." He tells me.

"Let me guess, those few others are your men?" I ask and he nods. 

"Everyone else is too scared to go venturing into the woods at this time." He tells me. 

"Yeah, I'm not surprised. I'll go and ask the others. You should check the butterfly field." I suggest and he nods.

I manage to convince Finn to come, despite Finn's protests on not wanting to, we need him the most. After all, he is a tracker.

"Hey everyone! Gather around and grab a weapon." Bellamy instructs, pulling out a sheet with weapons lain across it, and the people we managed to get to agree to come along scurry through the pile. "My sister's been out there alone for 12 hours. Arm up. We're not coming back without her."

I grab an axe and fiddle about with it in my hand until I spot Jasper holding a torch. 

"Jasper? I question, approaching him. "You're coming too?" He hasn't left camp since he was speared.

"I have to. For Octavia, I mean, I wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for her." He tells me and I nod.

"Just stay safe, ok? I'm coming too so stay close to me." I put a hand on his arm and he nods as I smile at him gently.

"Guys come here!" Someone calls out and everyone walks over to him. He points to the dark night sky filled with falling lights. A meteor shower? It's beautiful.

"They didn't work. They didn't see the flares." Raven looks up miserably. 

"A meteor shower tells you that?" Bellamy asks her.

"It's not a meteor shower, it's a funeral. Hundreds of bodies being returned to the earth from the ark. This is what it looks like from the other side." Clarke informs us all and I gulp.

"This is all because of you!" Raven screams marching towards Bellamy. 

"I helped you find the radio." Bellamy argues. It seems like he still doesn't realise what he's done is wrong, does he actually even care?
