Paisley kom trikru loved mornings, waking up to the sun and walking out of her cave. She hadn't seen lovella in a few days, hoping she'd see the girl today.

The grounder let out a sigh as she ran a hand through her hair, looking down at the pond she'd always be at. She'd have her normal routine, check up on Lincoln, train, catch fish and normally see lovella, if she was at the pond.

When she heard footsteps, she thought it would be lovella. But it wasn't. It was a boy. A skaikru boy, leaning on a tree, blood decorating his whole body.

So, Paisley did her normal thing, throwing a small knife into the tree he was leaning on, right next to his arm.

She then pulled out her sword, raising it high as the boy clicked on to what was happening. "Who are you? What do you want?" Her loud voice made him anxiously clear his throat.

"Uh, lovella sai-"

"Lovella! Is she okay? Where has she been." Paisley rambled as she lowered her sword, cutting the boy off. "Wait, are you lovellas friend?"

"Uh, yeah. You could say that." The boy slowly nodded his head.

"Hm. Why are you covered in blood?" Paisley raised a brow ad she pointed to him, frown on her face. But she took notice of the black liquid on his arm, which looked like blood. "Is that blood too? Or dirt?"

"Got banished." He simply said as Paisley tilted her head. "And, yeah." He nodded his head. Paisley frowned, but didn't care at this moment of time.

"Why? What did you do?" Paisley crossed her arms over her chest. "Did you kill somebody?"

"Technically, I don't know. Uhm, this kid killed a guy, I got blamed for it and, I don't know. Kid threw herself off a cliff." He shortly explained, missing out the part that he pulled a knife against lovellas throat, noticing how protective she was over the Kane girl.

"Huh." She let out breathy chuckle. "Wow. That's, uhm, dark." She slowly nodded her head. "And, why are you here, exactly?" She tilted her head once again.

"Lovella told me to come here. I don't know why, I didn't even know she knew a grounder, for starters. She said you'd keep me safe?" The boy said it, as if it was a question.

"She kept her promise." Paisley smiled. "Ish." She muttered. Lovella didn't tell anyone, only to keep her friend safe. "Okay. If lovella trusts you enough to tell you about Me, fine. But I have rules..." she pointed to him, not knowing his name.

"Murphy." He cleared his throat, slowly nodding his head.

"Right, there are rules, Murphy."

A pod had fallen from the ark last night, which made everyone in the camp intrigued. Everyone wanted to know what that pod was, if it had someone in it, or things to help people.

But, they had all lost their wristbands. Monty had accident fried them all when they were trying to get communication, breaking everyone's wristbands.

Lovella hoped her father was okay, and not worrying about her. She was fine—except the stitched wound on her neck. Clarke said it was going to scar her, from how deep the knife cut into her skin. But, lovella didn't care.!Bellamy said it could be a battle scar, which made her laugh—Claiming she could 'intimidate' the grounders.

The two had questions about her blood, obviously, but lovella said it was a rare blood type she had, and nobody knew what it was. And thankfully, they didn't push on the subject or make her seem weird for having black blood.

But now, clarke and Finn were on the hunt for Bellamy blake. Whilst lovella stayed with her friends.

Lovella drew random shapes into the mud with a stick. "What do you think is in that pod?" Harper asked as they all sat around in a little circle.

"Food, maybe?" Monty shrugged his shoulders, turning to jasper, who was looking at the floor. Lovella was wondering where Octavia was, and so was jasper.

"Did you hear one of the girls last night? 'I hope they have shampoo'. Like we need that stuff." Harper mocked the girl from last night.

"Maybe they sent someone down." Lovella suggested as the three looked up at her, making her shrug. "Maybe a radio?" She smiled.

"What do you think, jasper?" Monty spoke up as jasper looked up, clearing his throat.

"Food, probably." Jasper shrugged his shoulders as the three all shared looks, nodding their heads.

But then Clarke and finn walked into camp, saying they need help. Bellamy had thrown the radio from the pod that had raven Reyes in. So the ark couldn't come down.

Because he shot chancellor jaha. 

So lovella as looking through the water, moving rocks as raven panted beside her, standing up and turning to lovella.

"What's up with the cut on your neck?" Raven asked, out of the blue, making lovella turn to her, a sigh leaving her lips.

"Someone held a knife to my throat, cutting a bit deep. But it's fine, I'm fine." She shrugged her shoulders with a smile, as ravens eyes widened.

"Jeez," raven mumbled as lovella nodded her head. "Gonna have a epic scar, though." Raven grinned as lovella nodded her head.

"Yeah, that's what Bellamy said." Lovella kept a grin on her face as raven looked over her shoulder, glaring at the older blake. "My dad's definitely going to want questions when he sees it." Lovella chuckled.

"Who's your dad?" Raven asked, wanting to get to know lovella, seeing how nice and innocent the girl was.

"Marcus Kane. Well, he's not my biological father, but, he raised me." Lovella shrugged her shoulders as ravens eyes widened. The Marcus Kane? That arrested abby twice? Lovella seemed so different from Kane, and raven wasn't one to judge people, for other peoples actions. "Is he okay, if you've seen him on the ark?"

"Yeah, he's fine. He was checking on you a lot." Raven decided not to speak up on the fact how he was on the ark, making lovella smile.

"Hey! I found it." A kid said, making everyone turn to him as he pulled the radio out of the water, giving it to raven as they walked to land.

Raven stared at the radio in her hands, seeing if it still worked, lovella watching with hope. "Can you fix it?" Clarke asked, hopefully.

"Maybe. But it'll take half a day just to dry up the components to see what's broken." Raven sighed as she kept her eyes on the radio.

"Like I said, it's too late." Bellamy added as everyone looked up at him, Clarke walking towards him.

"Do you have any idea what you did?" She hissed as she got in his face. "Do you even care?"

"You asked me to help. I helped." Bellamy titled his head as lovella stared down at the radio.

"Three hundred people are gonna die today because of you!" Clarke yelled in frustration as lovella lowered her eyes, saddened by clarkes words.

"Maybe monty could help raven? They both have more brains than anyone in the camp." Lovella suggested as raven grinned slightly, grateful for the comment.

"I don't know, maybe." Raven shrugged, taking her words into concentration. "Wait." She realised something. "We don't have to talk to the ark. We just have to let them know we're down here, right?" Raven realised with a grin.

"Yeah, but how do we do that with no radio?" Finn frowned as he asked raven, his supposed girlfriend. Raven just smirked as she looked around at the group.

Raven had the idea to make flares to send them up to the ark, and everyone helped her, including lovella. She wanted to save them 300 people on the ark.

So raven gave her stuff to do, and she did exactly what raven told her to do, even if she wasn't good at mechanical things. Lovella helped either way.

It was night now and everyone was running around camp, following ravens orders. Lovella ran around, helping people and putting things were they were supposed to be, tying things together and holding parts for people.

After everyone had set up, they all sat back and watched anxiously, lovella finding her place beside monty and jasper, not knowing where Octavia was.

Then, raven sent the flares up, the purple and white lights illuminating the sky as they flew up. Lovella watched with a hopeful smile, turning to see Bellamy behind her, also giving him a smile, which he sent back.

Lovella then looked back up at the sky, more flares going up. She just hoped they made it in time. That they didn't kill the 300 people.

"Do you think they'll see?" Lovella asked the friends beside her. Making monty and jasper turn to her.

"Maybe." Monty gave her a confident smile as lovella nodded her head.

"I hope they're okay." Lovella sighed as she squeezed their hands. "I hope everyone is." She added as she stared up, the flares shining off of her skin.

Lovella was confused as to where Octavia was, but she thought her friend was safe, probably with Bellamy.

It felt strange being in their tent alone. But, she pushed her thoughts to the side as she fit comfy, only to have someone walk into her tent.

Lovella was quick to sit up, hoping it was Octavia, but it was Bellamy. "Where is Octavia?" Bellamy asked with a frown as he looked around.

"I haven't seen her since last night." Lovella frowned as she looked up at him. "I thought she was with you." Lovella added as Bellamy sighed, running a hand over his face.

"She didn't come back." He realised as lovella frowned, hugging the blanket around her.

"What do you mean 'she didn't come back'?" Lovella tilted her head, so confused. "She came to find you and she didn't come back." She realised. "Oh my god." She quickly got up, grabbing her t shirt and her jacket, putting them both on on, which made Bellamy turn away, since she was just in a makeshift sports bra. "We need to go find her." She turned to him as he cleared his throat, nodding his head.

Both of them left the tent as Bellamy looked around, asking people about Octavia as lovella followed, equally as anxious. They had checked the whole camp, not seeing her at all.

"She'll be okay. She probably got lost on the way back." Lovella tried to stay hopeful, but Bellamy shook his head.

"It's my fault. I pushed her away." Bellamy sighed as they walked through the camp.

"Don't blame yourself, bell. It's not your fault. We'll find her." Lovella confidently said as Bellamy turned to her, the Kane girl sending her a hopeful smile.

Bellamy had made a search group, jasper offering to come with, but before they could leave, something in the sky caught their eyes, making them look up.

Lovella frowned, but her heart dropped. "It didn't work." Raven muttered as she stepped towards Finn and Clarke.

"They didn't see the flares." Clarke mumbled as lovella squeezed her eyes shut.

"A meteor shower tells you that?" Bellamy asked from beside lovella, looking in the direction of the three.

"It's not a meteor shower, it's a funeral." Clarke told Bellamy as his face paled. "Hundreds of bodies being returned to the earth from the ark. This is what it looks like from the other side." She turned to raven. "They didn't get our message."

Lovella bit down on her tongue as she turned to jasper, who also had a sad expression on his face. "This is all because of you!" Raven went to walk towards Bellamy, but Finn grabbed her.

"I helped you find the radio." Bellamy told her as he pointed to her, Finn and Clarke pulling raven back.

"Yeah! After you jacked it from my pod and trashed it!" Raven hissed ad she glared at Bellamy.

"Yeah, he knows. Now he has to live with it." Clarke said, coldly, staring at Bellamy, who clenched his jaw, looking back up at the sky.

"All I know is that my sister is out there and I'm gonna find her." Bellamy then said as he looked between the three in front of him. "You coming or what?" He asked Finn.

"Yeah." Finn muttered, nodding his head as he let go of his girlfriend.

"What are we waiting for?" Bellamy asked everyone as lovella looked up from the floor and at him.

"Come on, Jasp." Lovella said softly as they followed the group, side by side as they trekked through the woods. She wanted to find Octavia, her best friend. As did everyone else.

Lovella held a torch in her hand as she walked through the woods. The only noise was their feet standing on leaves.

"Look! Over here!" Someone yelled as Bellamy ran towards him, making her follow, jasper right beside her.

"What is it?" Bellamy asked as they came out of the clearing.

"Right there. You see it? Is that Octavias?" The boy asked as he pointed his light towards the bushes.

Lovella narrowed her eyes, but she couldn't tell what it was. "Rope." Bellamy said as a kid passed him the rope.

"What are you doing?" Finn asked as he walked towards Bellamy.

"We need the rope to get back up." Bellamy said as he threw the rope down the small, grassy, hill. "Flashlight." Bellamy walked down as he walked towards the bush, picking up the item. "It's hers!" He yelled. "I'm going all the way down." Bellamy called over to them as lovella sighed, stepping over to the small hill.

"Bellamy, wait up." Lovella spoke down to him, carefully walking down the steep hill. Jasper followed her, the two holding onto the rope.

Lovella huffed as her shoes made contact with the floor, noticing Bellamy as he crouched down.

"What is it?" Lovella asked quietly as she crouched down beside him, looking at the blood on the rock. Jasper crouched down beside lovella as Finn joined them.

"Someone else was here." Bellamy looked at the three as jaspers eyes widened, looking down at the tracks.

"The prints are deeper going that way." Finn pointed to the direction of the foot prints.

"He was carrying her." Bellamy realised.

"If they took her, she's alive." Jasper voiced as he looked over at Bellamy. "Like when they took me."

The small group continued to walk through the woods. Lovella noticed Bellamy stop, making her look up to see skeletons tied to trees. "Oh my god." She muttered to herself, her brows furrowing.

"I don't speak grounder...but I'm pretty sure this means keep out." Finn breathed out as he looked at the skeletons.

"Let's get out of here. It's crazy." A kid said as lovella turned around.

"It's just a few skeletons." Lovella mumbled to the people who left. She was also anxious, but, she had a grounder friend, two, if she counted Lincoln.

"Go back if you want." Bellamy spoke as he continued to face forward. "My sister, my responsibility." He then walked forward, leaving the group behind.

Lovella confidently followed the way Bellamy went. Jasper, Finn and two others followed them, the jordan boy not leaving lovellas side.

It was now morning and they still hadn't found Octavia. "I got nothing. We lost the trail." Finn sighed as he looked around.

"Keep looking." Bellamy told him as Finn spun around, his eyes on the floor.

"Wandering around aimlessly isn't the way to find your sister." Finn said to Bellamy. "We should backtrack.

"I'm not going back." Bellamy shook his head, standing in front of Finn.

"Yeah, there's no time to backtrack. Octavia been gone long enough." Lovella told Finn as he walked past the two boys. "We just need to keep looking. We need to find her, make sure she's safe."

"Hey, where's john?" A girl asked as lovella turned around.

"I just saw him a second ago." Jasper breathed out heavily as they looked around.

"He couldn't of disappeared." Lovella frowned as she saw no sight of him.

"Spread out. He couldn't have gotten far." Bellamy told them as lovella heard a thud behind her.

She jumped back as she looked down at John, his eyes wide as blood seeped through the cut on his neck. She covered her mouth with her hands, stepping back.

"They use the trees." Finn looked up as lovella did also.

"Keep your eyes pealed." Bellamy told the others as she stayed beside jasper.

"We shouldn't have crossed the boundary." A boy spoke up, fear evident in his eyes.

"Now can we go back?" The girl asked Bellamy.

"There, right there." Jasper whispered as he pointed to the figure in between the trees.

"Another one." The boy breathed in as the grounders surrounded them.

"We should run." Finn looked over at Bellamy as lovella anxiously looked around, her back against jaspers.

Bellamy nodded his head, a signal for the others to start running. Lovella was weaponless, she didn't have any weapon, which was foolish.

Lovella made sure to keep close to jasper, knowing he wasn't in good shape and she couldn't do anything. "I can run much longer!" He yelled to the others as in front.

"I'm not stopping for him!" The boy said as lovella sighed, stopping beside jasper as she grabbed his arm, slinging it around her neck.

"I'm sick of running anyway." Bellamy said as he stopped in his tracks.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Finn stopped him as lovella kept a tight grip on jasper.

"They know here she is!" Bellamy breathed out as he looked around.

"Diggs, where are you!" Roman shouted as she ran the other way.

"Will everyone stop running away!" Lovella breathed out as she turned to the grounder that was running towards them.

"Oh, god." Jasper muttered as the two started to run with the others.

The heard Roma scream as they ran in that direction. They stopped as they saw saw the dead diggs.

"They we're leading us here. It's the only direction we could run in." Jasper panted.

"Hey. Where'd they go?" Finn looked around, not seeing any of the grounders.

"After Roma." Bellamy realised as he ran the direction Roma went, making the rest follow.

They continued to carefully walk through the woods. Lovella was cautious as she looked around. "There she is. Roma." The girl whispered, making lovella look up to see a figure behind the tree.

Bellamy and Finn walked towards her, noticing the spear sticking out of her. "They're playing with us." Finn breathed out heavily. "They can kill us whenever they want."

"Then they should get it over with!" Jasper yelled from beside audrey. "Come on!" He continued to yell as Finn grabbed him. "We know you're out there!"

"Calm down." Lovella grabbed jaspers arms as he continued to yell.

"They're coming!" The girl yelled as she looked at the figure running towards them.

But then a horn was set off, making the grounders run away. "They're leaving?" Finn frowned.

"The horn. What does it mean?" Jasper asked with wide eyes.

"Acid fog." Finn realised as he pulled something out of his bag.

"We have to run." The girl told them.

"There's no time." Finn shook his head.

They followed the alone grounder, realising they acid fog was fake. It was risky, but they needed to get Octavia back.

They followed him into a cave, quietly entering it as lovella silently looked around. Bellamy was at the front as he stooped. "Bellamy?" Lovella sighed as she heard Octavia voice.

"Octavia." Bellamy breathed out as he ran towards her, making lovella step forward to see a grounder on the floor. Her heart dropped. It was Lincoln.

"Monroe, watch the entrance." Bellamy called to the girl. He set Octavia free as she hugged him. "It's okay. You're okay."

"Els!" Octavia turned to lovellA as she walked towards her, throwing her hands around her. "How did you find me?"

"We followed him." Jasper pointed to the grounder on the floor as lovella hugged the younger girl back, her eyes still on Lincoln.

"We should go. Now. Before he wakes up." Octavia turned to Bellamy.

"I agree." Lovella quickly nodded, wanting to make sure Lincoln was okay and they didn't hurt him.

"He's not gonna wake up." Bellamy shook his head as lovella frowned.

"Bellamy, stop." Octavia grabbed his hand. "He didn't hurt me. Let's just go." She told Bellamy as he grabbed a wooden sword.

"Bellany, no." Lovella knew what he was going to do.

"They started this. Finn. Move." Bellamy said as Finn crouched beside the grounder.

Meanwhile, on the outside, Paisley groaned as she turned to Murphy. "Can you walk any slower?" She tilted her head as he looked up.

"Sorry, I'm not use to being all friendly with grounders, excuse me." Murphy sarcastically said as Paisley sighed.

"Be lucky lovella has a friend like me, or the other grounders would of killed you." Paisley grinned. "Now, hurry up."

Murphy sighed as he followed along, but paused stopped, pulling murphy behind a tree. "Who are they? Are those your people?" Paisley whispered as she looked at the two guarding Lincoln's cave.

"Yeah. What are they doing here?" Murphy frowned as Paisley narrowed her eyes.

"Go. You said, I'd they'd find you, they'd kill you. Go back to my cave, you'll be safe." Paisley told him as he frowned, but listened to her nevertheless, running in the opposite direction.

"Foghorn." Finn spoke as he held a horn in his hands, making lovella crouch down and look at the horn. He saved them. Lovella smiled as she turned back to the grounder, but, Suddenly, the grounder jumped up, a knife in his hand. It was too late for anyone to realise what happened as he threw his arm around, making the knife cut into lovellas arm as she let out a yelp, moving back.

She held onto her arm as she looked at the cut, her blood already dripping from the wound, which made the grounder holt slightly, recognising her.

But her people acted quick, making Lincoln stab Finn in the chest with the same knife. Lovella panted heavily as she looked up with wide eyes as Bellamy and Lincoln continued to fight.

So jasper took the opportunity to bash a bit of wood against Lincoln's head with force. Making the Lincoln fall to the ground. "Jasper!"

They all panted heavily as they stared down at the grounder. "We need to get Finn back, now. Clarke will know what to do." Jasper suggested as lovella looked down at the grounder.

But Bellamy grabbed lovellas non-wounded arm, making her frown. "You're injured." He pointed to the cut in her arm.

"It's a little cut, I'll live." She shrugged slightly, clearing her throat as she pointed to her neck. "Battle scars." She smiled slightly.

But they all turned to the entrance of the cave, hearing struggling. They all looked around cautiously. Lovella bit her tongue as she backed up, but her eyes widened.

Paisley walked in with her sword, the two girls eyes meeting, which everyone saw. Lovella have Paisley a 'run' look, but she didn't, her eyes lowering to Lincoln.

But Bellamy acted quick, moving lovella behind him and grabbing something to attack, but lovella pulled his arm, shaking her head. "Let her go."

Bellamy frowned as he looked back up to paisley, who held her sword. She took notice of lovellas words and went to turn around, but jasper did the exact same thing that he did to Lincoln. Knocked her out with the same wooden piece. "Jasper! She wasn't a threat!" Lovella moved towards paisley.

"She was holding a sword lovella, she was going to kill us." Bellamy said as he looked down at Finn and Octavia, then over to lovella.

"She might of been his friend, I don't know." Lovella sighed. "Let's just leave them here and get Finn back to camp." She sighed, standing up and sending a sympathetic glance to paisley.

Hopefully Paisley didn't hate her after what just happened.
