  "Are you sure they won't kill me?" Sayah raised an eyebrow.

   "We won't let them." Octavia replied sternly as they approached the front gate of their camp, helping Sayah carry Monroe. Sayah glanced at Bellamy for his opinion on the matter. Bellamy pursed his lips.

   "Thank you for keeping my sister safe." He nodded. "So yes, I'm with Octavia." Sayah couldn't fight the appreciative grin that spread across her face. She nodded in return.

   "Open the gate!" A voice called and a loud buzz was heard as they drew closer. Sayah flinched at the sound.

   Guards circled them, weapons pointed up cautiously. Sayah felt several eyes on her and she ignored how a guard seemed to scan her body suspiciously. A woman approached Bellamy who held a injured Mel. "I know you," The woman said. "Factory station."

   "Where are the others?" The woman questioned.

   Mel hesitantly replied. "There are no others."

   "We found her a day from here, no survivors, lots of supplies." Bellamy explained. The woman nodded and then glanced over to Octavia and Monroe. Then her eyes landed on Sayah.

   Just as Sayah was about to speak, a guard's voice spoke up. "She's a Grounder!" He yelled, eyes widening at the sight of her sword. The other guards quickly moved towards her, grabbing her harshly and pinning her down. Sayah clenched her jaw, grunting at the sudden force as she met the ground.

   "No! What are you doing?" Octavia called out, moving towards the guards. Some guards pulled her and Bellamy away.

   "Stop! She helped us!" Bellamy tried to reason, turning to the same woman who approached them. "Abby, please. She's not a threat."

   The woman, Abby, glanced between Sayah and the two Blake siblings. She sighed. "Take her to the holding cell. Do not harm her." She ordered. Sayah was lifted up harshly and she glared at the guards.

   "Abby!" Octavia protested, trying to pull away the guards who held Sayah.

   Sayah shook her head, stopping her tracks. "No, Via. It's fine." She reassured. Octavia stared at her, a concerned expression across her face. The guards shoved Sayah away despite Octavia's protests with the Abby woman.

   On the way to wherever they were taking her, Sayah met the eyes of Clarke. Clarke's blue eyes widened at the sight of her. "Sayah?" Her gaze then moved to the guards.

   "Hey! What are you doing with her?" Clarke approached them. Sayah stared back at her confused. If she was here, then Finn and John were out looking for. . .

No one.

   "Chancellor's orders." The guard simply replied, pulling Sayah away. Clarke furrowed her brows.

   "I'll get you out, Sayah!" Clarke yelled finally before they took Sayah inside some giant building-machine(?). She glanced around, eyeing her surroundings. Strange.
