They stop running from the grounders. Though some are filled with fear, others are brave and hold their heads high. Bellamy, however, is filled with determination to find Octavia. All he can focus on is getting to his sister.
Roma breaks away from the group, frantically looking for Diggs. They all follow, only to hear her scream in terror. There Diggs is, killed by an obvious trap.
"Wait! Stop! There could be more!" Finn shouts, desperate to keep everyone together. Preventing the least amount of deaths seems like a good way to survive, but Diggs is the second one lost after leaving camp.
"They were leading us here," Jasper says, his breathing heavy. He's terrified and out of breath from the running, especially so early after his attack. "It's the only direction we could run in."
"I freaking called it," Zarah breathes out, looking around. Her eyes are filled with terror, but she quickly covers it with a blink and humor. "I freaking called the traps! These sons of bitches are so predictable!"
"Where'd they go?" Finn asks. Their eyes gaze over the trees, looking for any sight of a grounder. Bellamy already seems to guess where they're going.
"After Roma."

A shrill scream of terror fills the air. It belongs to Roma. It leads them in the direction of her for the short second it lasts before it goes silent. It takes a while to find her, but they do. From where they stand, she's leaning against a tree. She's on the other side of it, so all they can see is her shoulder.
"Roma!" Monroe hisses a whisper, still being cautious of grounders. She doesn't get a response, nor any movement from the other girl. They rush around the tree, but find them all staring wide-eyed. Roma's dead, too. By a spear in in her chest, blood coming from the wound and her nose.
"They're playing with us," Finn breathes out, glancing around.
Bellamy seems to grieve a bit at the sight. She was, after all, one of the girls he slept with. He brings up a shakey hand to close her eyes. "She only came because of me." His voice a whisper, but loud enough to hear.
"They can kill us whenever they want," Finn continues, keeping his voice low and his eyes moving.
"Then they should get it over with!" Jasper shouts, his fists clenching in anger. Finn rushes to him, trying to keep him quiet. "Come on! We know you're out there! You want to kill us—"
"Bellamy!" Monroe shouts at the sight of a grounder in the trees making his way towards them. He's the only one. The ones that previously surround them make their way towards them.
