Venus knew it was stupid, and dangerous but with all the talk of the Ark hopefully coming down and family reunion, it made her think of Murphy, out here all alone. She had left the camp early in the morning in search of him. She didn't care if he was banished, she just wouldn't return to camp.
Yes, she would miss her friends. Octavia, Jasper, Monty, Clarke. All of them, a lot, but Murphy meant more to her than all of the others combined and she really did miss him, so Murphy it was.

She had been walking for a couple of hours with no luck and finally stopped to take a brake. She took some food and water out of the bag, all of which she had stolen from camp, and started eating, using her flashlight so she wasn't left in total darkness."Now, if I was a seventeen year old boy, a troubled seventeen year old boy, where would I be?" She began talking to herself.
"In a grounder prison camp." Someone replied.
Not even thinking, she answered back. "No." She said, carrying on the 'O'. Then she realised she definitely was not talking to herself. "Wait," she slowly turned, taking out Murphy's knife and her heart stopped. A grounder stood behind her, their mask down and machete out. "Shit."
"Ai found a Skaikru gada!" She shouted and Venus quickly stabbed her in the neck just as she had done with Atom.
Making sure she took the knife with her, she ran, forgetting her bag. A group of them followed her but she managed to get further ahead and dive into a cave before they saw her. She waited for a few minutes, holding her breath as she listened.
When she was sure they were gone, Vee carefully walked out the cave and ran back the direction she just came from. Only seconds later she triggered a tripwire. She didn't have time to react before a rope pulled her up, leaving her dangling upside and Murphy's knife slipped from her hands.
She gasped, quickly clasping her hand over her mouth. Maybe they didn't hear it? She hoped they didn't. Her head grew hot and it felt tight. It ached as the all the blood ran to her head and her eyes slowly started to close.
She blinked many times, trying to stay awake, she needed to get down somehow. She couldn't help it. Her eyes shut, the last thing see saw was a blurry figure walking towards her.

Sometime later Venus woke up face to face with another grounder. It was so close she could feel their breath on her face. "No no no no, please don't." She watched it as it picked up Murphy's knife, stuffing it in their pocket and taking out one of its own.The grounder stared at her for a while before they both heard a sound in the distance. Someone was coming. "Reapers." She heard the grounder say. It was a guy.
As he moved the knife towards her she screamed only to have a hand held over her mouth. She didn't know what or who Reapers were but she was hoping they would by her some time.
"Shh! Do you wanna deal with one grounder or a pack of blood thirsty savages!?" He asked. She stayed silent and he took that as a "continue what you're doing" answer. He started cutting at the wire until Venus began falling and he caught her.
"Thank you."
"Come on, this way." He grabbed her by the arm and lead her to a cave. The pair went inside and she sat against the furthest wall away from him while she watched him sharpen his weapons, or more like Murphy's knife.
"What are you gonna do to me?" She asked trying to pull off an "I'm not scared" tone.
"Save you." He responded.
He started pulling off his mask and Vee stared at him, shocked. "Lincoln!? What the hell!" He only glared at her. "You know, you could've showed me before and I would've come without a fight."
