"Well it seems they want to kill you to, so join the party flower." He kissed my forehead and I knew he was looking at Raven who made it back into the hug. "I love you guys" he whispered.

I left Raven and Finn very hesitantly, I could feel the eyes on my as I made my way back inside the Ark. People kept staring at me and all I can think about is getting back to the makeshift room Abby gave me. Before I could make it inside the ark a hand shot in front of my face stopping me from moving. My eyes slowly trail up the arm to find the face that the arm belonged to. "You're really here" the man asked me in disbielf his hand moving to my face so gently like I was going to break if he touched me slightly to rough. "I missed you little one." With that he pulled me into a hug making it so I wasn't quite able to move. 

"Mark" I whispered to him getting a hum back in response. "Mark I, I just." 

"Stop talking" he told me sternly keeping his grip on me. "I'm just happy you're back you don't need to say anything, just, just enjoy it ok?" I nodded my head hugging him back. 

"Yea ok." He finally pulled away from the hug after what felt like forever and took my hands. 

"Have you seen Raven and Finn yet?" 

"Oh yea I saw them earlier right before I saw you actually." The look on his face told me he didn't like that answer but he didn't say anything about it. "I actually think I wanna go find Raven again." 

"Why don't you stay with me and we can go see your dad." Mark quickly responded gripping my hand tighter. 

"I don't want to see Marcus." He let out a snort at that.

"I think it would be good for us to go see your dad right now." With that he started pulling me outside of the drop ship and back into the crowd of people. I started to tug on my arm trying to get it out of his grasp but he only tightened his grip when I did. "Look there he is. Kane!" He yelled out, said mans eyes made there way over to us and smiled waving us over. 

"Mark I don't think this is a good idea." He didn't respond just kept pulling me over to Marcus. 

"Mike, Maria. What do I owe this pleasure." I could feel Marcus gaze on me but I looked everywhere  but him as I tried to leave Mikes side.

"We just wanted to talk to you. You know as a family."

"A family?" Marcus asked him surprised, shifting his gaze from Mark to me.

"Yea as a family, with Maria back I thought we would try and start over where we left off." The smile on Marks face was unmistakable 

"Start where you left off?" Kane asked like he wanted me to say something anything, but I wouldn't not against him.

"We were going to get married and start a family of our own before everything happened, and I don't see why we can't start that again, heck we can even have a big family." Mark just kept rambling on, neither of us knowing what to say to him. 

"Mark" Kane started "I think before you jump into anything you should both talk things over and work out what you both want, a lot has happened and things change." 

"But" mark pulled me into his side "Nothing has changed between us right babe?" 

"Hmm? Oh yea I think we should listen to Marcus. He seems to know what he is talking about. I see Raven over there and she doesn't seem right I'm going to go check on her." Prying his grip off of my with little restraint this time I made my way over to Raven who seemed like she was looking for something. "Hey little bird are you ok?"

Her head snapped to mine as she pulled me quickly into a hug "Maria oh gosh have you seen Finn." she asked me hysterically.

"No I haven't seen him since earlier why? What is going on?" 

"I can't find him will you help me look?" 

"Of course you don't even have to ask, maybe try finding Clarke to she might know where he is she seems to know everything." Raven and I searched around camp for Finn until it was starting to get dark. 

"I can't find him anywhere." She told me, but all I could do was look at the fire that sitting just outside of the tree line.

"Raven." She stopped looking at me "How long has that been there." 

"Not long why?" 

"I think I found Finn." I told her my heart breaking. 

"What no. He can't be he has to be somewhere around here." She was starting to panic but all I could do was sit there and watch the fire. I grabbed her hand pulled her into my arms hugging her as I walked us closer to the fence so we could see better. I could see him tied to a post facing us.  I pull raven tighter in my grasp, I could hear her cry but I couldn't bring myself to look away from Finn. Clarke quickly made her way into my vision talking to Finn and before we knew it there was a knife in his stomach. 

Raven was screaming but all I felt was numb. I sunk to the ground with Raven crying into my chest. Finn was dead he was really dead, and he wasn't coming back. I gripped onto Raven tighter finally letting the pain out as I cried with her.
