after the flares had been sent up everyone was now in their tents sleeping. arabella was sleeping before bellamy burst into her shared tent with octavia. he looked in the tent to only see arabella, who he thought looked pretty cute half asleep.

"hey, you seen, o?" he asked quietly.

"no, i thought she might be in that butterfly field again." arabella told him. "but now that i think about it i've not seen her since raven's pod dropped." she realised.

"i've checked the camp, she's not here." he told her.

"shit." arabella muttered. "i'll help you find her, uh let's check again. you go to the drop ship, i'll check the rest of the tents." she announced.

"thank you." he smiled at the girl.

"it's alright, i'd do anything for octavia." arabella smiled.

the girl checked the rest of the tents but, there was no sign of octavia, which sent arabella into a slight panic.

she found herself stood next to bellamy as he gathered the camp to search for his sister.

"hey everybody, gather around and grab a weapon." he told the delinquents.

arabella looked at the weapons, a spear caught the girls eye she picked it up so nobody else would go for it.

"my sister's been out there alone for twelve hours. arm up. we're not coming back without her." bellamy informed.

when arabella was anxious or stressed she wasn't able to keep still, she had to be doing something otherwise she'd think she would go crazy. she was currently playing with her hands, cracking her fingers. arabella felt hands on top of her, when she looked up from her hands, the girls eyes met with bellamy's.

"it's alright we'll find her." he calmly told her.

"shouldn't i be saying that to you?" she let out a quiet laugh.

bellamy smiled down at the girl, his hands still on top of hers. he took arabella's hand taking her over to clarke and jasper.

"clarke, i need to do this." arabella heard jasper tell clarke.

"we need all the people we can get." bellamy told the blonde girl.

arabella gave jasper a smile, pulling him into a hug, she had barely spoken to the boy and she felt really bad about it.

"i'm glad you're doing better, jasper." she smiled.

"thank you, arabella." jasper smiled back to the girl, before sighing quietly and walking somewhere else.

"we need a tracker." bellamy said to clarke.

"finn. get your ass out here." arabella shouted, she waited a minute or so before shouting again. "finn, hur-"

"alright, alright, i'm here." finn huffed, jokingly knocking arabella's shoulder as he walked past her.

"i'll see you later." arabella told clarke, giving her a small smile. she walked back to her tent to grab her jacket but heard voices outside.

"guys, guys. come here!" a boy shouted.

"what is that?" another boy asked.

arabella furrowed her brows and left her tent. there was gasps and murmurs.

"did you see that?"

she walked over to bellamy, who also had a confused look on his face.

"look up there." the boy said.

arabella looked up and saw specks in the sky coming through the atmosphere.

"they didn't work." raven sighed. "they didn't see the flares."

"a meteor shower tells you that?" bellamy asked from beside arabella.

"it's not a meteor shower." clarke spoke. "it's a funeral." she told them. "hundreds of bodies being returned to the earth from the ark. this is what it looks like from the other side."

arabella ran her hand over her face. "they didn't get our message." she sighed.

raven stormed over to Bellamy. "this is all because of you." she seethed, trying to shove him but finn held her back.

"i helped you find the radio." bellamy snapped at the girl.

"yeah, after you jacked it from my pod and trashed it!" raven shouted, finn and clarke still holding her back.

"yeah, he knows." arabella sighed, before looking up at bellamy. "now he has to live with it."

bellamy looked back up at the body's falling from the ark. "all i know is that my sister is out there and i'm gonna find her." he told arabella, who rolled her eyes at the way bellamy spoke to her "you coming or what?" he asked finn.

finn let out a quiet "yeah."

"then what are you waiting for?" bellamy shouted slightly. "move out."

"we have to talk to them, three hundred won't be enough. the oxygen level will keep dropping, and if we don't tell them that they can survive down here, they'll kill more people." clarke informed. "they have to."

"guys..." jasper nervously gained their attention. "they're leaving we gotta go."

arabella sighed, glancing at clarke before standing next to jasper, with a spear in her hand. finn followed, but turned back to raven.

"i gotta do this." he told her. "and you should stay and fix the radio, ok?"

"fix it?" raven asked in shock. "the transmitter's smashed." she told him. "unless there's a parts depot down here, we're not talking to the ark."

clarke was deep in thought when an idea popped into her head. "art supply store." she told finn.

clarke, raven and finn all exchanged glances and confused looks.

"this is so awkward." arabella whispered very quietly to jasper, who let out a quiet breathy laugh.

"i know a place you might be able to get a transmitter." clarke told raven.

"great." raven nodded, slightly suspicious but not showing it. "it looks like you're coming with me instead."

"double awkward." arabella whispered to jasper again, making him nudge her with a smile.

"finn?" jasper asked. "we're not gonna find her without you." he told him.

"be careful." finn told clarke and raven, before walking to arabella and jasper.

"hey." raven grabbed him, pulling the boy towards her and kissing him. "i love you." she told him.

"i love you, too." finn said with hesitation.

arabella couldn't even imagine how raven would feel if she found out about Ccarke and finn. she wasn't going to say anything to her because she knew it wasn't her place and she didn't really want to get involved in a love triangle.

finn joined arabella and jasper, they set off after bellamy hoping they would come back to camp with octavia.

the search group looking for octavia had been walking around for about an hour or so, until john mbege found something.

"look! over here!" he shouted.

arabella, bellamy and the other rushed over to where john was.

"what? what is it?" arabella asked.

"right there." he shined his light to a small branch that had a small piece of fabric hanging off it. "you see it?"

"is it octavia's?" arabella asked.

"rope." bellamy said, someone passed him some rope he then tied it around a tree.

"what are you doing?" finn asked, coming up behind arabella.

"we need the rope to get back up." bellamy told him throwing the other end of the rope down the hill.

"flashlight." bellamy turned to jones, who handed him it. bellamy ascended halfway down the hill. arabella rolled her eyes, simply walking down the hill instead, which was actually sort of a bad idea because she stumbled almost falling over but quickly stoping herself.

"it's hers." bellamy confirmed picking up the fabric. "i'm going all the way down."

arabella was already at the bottom of the hill due to her stumbling all over the place and having nothing to grab onto. she tried looking around but it was very dark and she had no flashlight, eventually bellamy joined her at the bottom. he used the flashlight to look around, arabella noticed some blood on a rock.

"bellamy, look." she pointed to the bloody rock.

he knelt down touching the blood with his fingers, arabella jumped slightly when she saw jasper who had just come down the hill, he then knelt next to bellamy.

"she's hurt. we need to find her, now." arabella told bellamy and jasper.

finn also came down the hill, not bothering to be quiet.

"someone else was here." bellamy informed the small group.

"yeah, no shit." arabella muttered.

"the prints are deeper going that way." finn pointed out, then realisation hit the boy. "he was carrying her."

"if they took her she's alive." jasper told them. "like when they took me."

arabella sighed, she stood up and began to follow the tracks from the grounder, bellamy, jasper, finn and the everyone else behind.

she stopped in her tracks when she saw human skeletons hanging from the trees.

"i don't speak grounder.. but i'm pretty sure this means keep out." finn spoke, turning to bellamy.

"let's get out of here, it's crazy." someone spoke from the small crowd.

"i'm outta here." another boy spoke.

"yeah, me too."

"go back it you want. my sister, my responsibility." bellamy told them as he walked towards the bones.

"i mean, it's only some human skeletons, what's the worst that could happen?" arabella asked with a nervous smile on her face, following after bellamy.

arabella noticed how bellamy was anxious about not being able to find octavia, she looked up at him as they were walking and spoke up. "bell, we'll find her i promise you. octavia's strong she'll be okay." she sent him a smile, not that he could see it in the dark.

"i can't loose her, bella." he sighed "i thought i lost her once before i can't do that again."

"i know, i know." arabella smiled sadly, despite being slightly mad at him she still softly grabbed his hand and gave it a slight squeeze.

...

the small group had been walking for a while now, it was early morning. arabella was pretty tired but she wasn't going to rest until they found octavia.

finn let out a sigh. "i got nothing. we lost the trail." he told them.

"keep looking." bellamy urged

arabella let out a sigh as she slightly ducked under another tree branch.

"wandering around aimlessly isnt the way to find your sister." finn told bellamy. "we should backtrack." he added

"i'm not going back." bellamy snapped at finn.

"hey, where's John?" roma asked, panic washing over her face.

arabella, bellamy and finn turned around with confused looks noticing that john was missing.

"well, shit." arabella muttered to herself.

"i just saw him a second ago." jasper spoke up nervously.

"spread out. he couldn't have gotten that far." bellamy told the group.

arabella began looking around when a body dropped from the trees, landing at her feet, the girl let out a scream stumbling back into a tree.

"arabella?!" bellamy shouted running over to the girl, pulling her close to him. "you okay?" he asked her softly, but he quickly noticed john's body a meter away from them. "shit." the man muttered.

the rest of the group found bellamy, arabella and john's dead body. finn looked up at the trees.

"they use the trees" he told them.

arabella frantically began looking around at the trees to see if there was any grounders waiting to kill them, usually arabella wouldn't be this scared but the grounders we brutal and would kill anyone without showing any mercy.

"we shouldn't have crossed the boundary." diggs spoke up.

"now can we go back?" roma asked.

"there." jasper muttered, looking in the direction of a grounder.

"another one." diggs added.

arabella stood close to bellamy and finn, the two protecting the girl as they circled around her looking out for anymore grounders.

"you know, i'm thinking we should run." she spoke up.

"let's go." bellamy shouted to the group, grabbing arabella's hand and began running away from the grounders.

arabella held tightly onto bellamy's hand, slightly struggling to keep up with him, she had been locked in a cell since she was fifteen so the girl couldn't really keep up her stamina.

"let's go! let's go!" finn shouted, as the grounders chased them.

"what are we gonna do they keep cutting us off?" diggs shouted.

"just keep running!" finn shouted back.

"I can't run much longer!" jasper spoke.

"me neither, my fucking leg." arabella winced, letting go of bellamy's hand.

"i'm not stopping for him!" diggs told them, running ahead.

"screw you." arabella muttered loudly

bellamy stopped running. "i'm sick of running anyway."

"hey, what are you doing?" finn asked, reaching at bellamy.

"they know where she is." bellamy told him.

arabella looked around there was a grounder coming at the side of her, jasper and roma.

"diggs!" roma screamed as she ran after him. "where are you!"

"roma!" diggs yelled back to her.

arabella, bellamy, finn and jasper ran after roma, who had just let out a loud scream. they saw roma run away, arabella almost ran into a large tree branch which had diggs' body attached to it by some sort of axe.

"oh my god." she muttered.

"they were leading us here." jasper panted. "it's the only direction we could run in."

"hey, where'd they go?" finn asked, looking around for the grounders.

"after roma." bellamy answered, taking off looking for the girl.

finn and arabella followed behind him, jasper and monroe behind them.

they all heard roma let out another scream.

"how are we meant to find her if she keeps on running." arabella shouted, slightly panting from all the running she had done.

they had eventually found roma after all the running.

"there she is." monroe said to finn. "roma." She whispered.

arabella stood beside finn. "at least she stopped running."

bellamy ran towards the tree roma was at, he abruptly stopped noticing something wasn't right. he moved further to the tree and saw that there was a spear sticking out of the girls chest.

arabella noticed this too. "oh." she whispered awkwardly.

"they're playing with us." finn looked around for grounders.

"no, they're killing us." arabella told him.

"she only came because of me." arabella heard bellamy mutter.

"they can kill us whenever they want." finn whispered to bellamy.

"then they should get it over with!" jasper shouted. "come on!"

"jasper, shut up." arabella whisper-shouted at the boy, grabbing his jacket.

finn walked up to jasper grabbing him and telling him to stop.

"we know you're out there!" jasper continued yelling. "you want to kill us-"

"bellamy!" arabella wearily shouted as she saw a grounder running towards them.

she looked around seeing grounders coming at them in all directions, arabella held tightly onto her spear, preparing to throw it at any grounder that came her way.

there was grounders surrounding them, at this point she knew that she definitely wasn't going to make it back to the camp.

all of a sudden, there was a loud horn blaring throughout the large forest, the grounders quickly stopped and began running away.

"why are they running?" arabella asked, pure confusion washing over her face.

"they're leaving." bellamy said as the horn blew again.

"that horn, what does it mean?" jasper asked.

"acid fog." finn answered.

"oh how brilliant." arabella deadpanned, letting out a sigh.

finn quickly pulled out something to cover everyone with. "we have to run." monroe told him.

"there's no time." he replied, shaking his head.

the remainder of the group were laying under a cover, arabella was squashed in between bellamy and finn. after a while the girl was getting slightly claustrophobic, she put her head in her hands trying to take normal breaths, bellamy noticed how she was slightly panicking so he took her hand in his giving it a reassuring squeeze.

"how long are we supposed to wait?" jasper asked.

"will this even work?" monroe added.

"we'll find out." finn told them.

"i'm getting pretty impatient, at this point i'd rather die." arabella muttered, laying her head in her arms.

"no we won't." bellamy answered to finn, he started taking off the sheet that was covering them.

"wait no i was kidding-" arabella spoke so quickly she wasn't even sure if what she said made and sense.

"there's no fog." he told her, arabella just let out a small 'oh'.

she quickly stood up wanting to breathe actual air. arabella looked around to see that there was no grounders around them.

"maybe it was a false alarm." finn wondered.

"they're coming back." bellamy told them.

"wait no, i think they're alone." arabella said, glancing around seeing no other grounders.

"now can we run?" monroe whispered.

"he doesn't see us, i'm going after him." bellamy mumbled, his eyes dark and set on the grounder.

"and what? kill him?" finn asked from beside bellamy.

"no, catch him."

"right, well good luck with that." arabella muttered, rolling her eyes. "he looks about ten times your size, bellamy."

bellamy ignored arabella and continued "i'll make him tell me where octavia is. then i'll kill him." he finished as he carefully set off to follow the grounder.

"solid plan." arabella sarcastically nodded at the man.

"how do we know he's not leading us to another trap?" jasper whispered to finn and arabella.

"we don't." arabella answered. "but bellamy over here won't let us think of a plan." she slightly raised her voice in a sarcastic manner.

everyone, including arabella, was following bellamy who was following the grounder. they came to a halt when the grounder when underground through some leaves, arabella continued to follow the grounder ignoring bellamy and finn telling her to wait.

she heard a grunt and then a thud so the girl quickly went down the small steps, bellamy and the others behind her. arabella saw a body on the floor and then a girl next to the wall.

"octavia?" she asked, not being able to see the girls face.

"oh my god, arabella? bellamy?" octavia gasped, as soon and arabella heard the girls voice she ran over to her friend, bellamy right behind her.

"get the key." octavia told them, bellamy grabbed the key from the ground and unlocked the lock that was keeping octavia chained up.

"monroe, watch the entrance." bellamy shouted slightly, as he helped octavia out of the chains pulling his sister into a hug.

"it's okay, you're okay." he soothed the girl.

arabella was relived that they found octavia and not dead, she had already lost murphy and she didn't want to loose another person she cared about. she glanced down at the grounder who was laying on the ground before pulling octavia into a hug, trying not to hug her to tight.

arabella pulled away from the hug so octavia could go to jasper. "how did you find me?" she breathed out happily.

"followed him." jasper pointed to the grounder as octavia pulled him into a hug.

the two let out a laugh before octavia spoke. "we should go. now, before he wakes up." she told them.

"he's not gonna wake up." bellamy muttered, grabbing a sharp wooden spear from the floor.

"bellamy, stop." octavia told him, grabbing his arm.

"bellamy, we should just go. we found octavia we don't need to kill him." arabella said, from beside octavia.

"he didn't hurt me. let's just go." octavia begged trying to keep her brother away from the grounder.

"they started this. finn move." bellamy told him, holding the spear tightly in his hand. finn was crouched down next to the grounder, holding something in his hand.

"foghorn." finn muttered.

the whole room was quiet then suddenly the grounder reached up and stabbed finn in the side of his rib.

"finn!" arabella shouted.

bellamy went to attack the grounder with the spear but got quickly shoved to the ground with the grounder on top of him aiming the spear at his throat.

"stop! that's my brother!" octavia yelled.

arabella had to think fast, she looked around the room looking for something to hit the grounder with, she found a large rock and hit the back of the grounders head with it as hard as she could. the grounder was quickly knocked unconscious and he fell to the floor.

arabella noticed how jasper was about to pull out the knife that was inside finn. "no!" she shouted. "do not take out that knife, it'll make the bleeding worse." she told them. "we need to get back to camp right now, we need clarke."

bellamy regained his breath and helped finn up, along with the help of arabella and jasper.

...

they arrived back at the camp, slightly out of breath after carrying finn back to camp.

"clarke! where's clarke!" jasper shouted as they ran through the gates. "get clarke now!"

clarke ran towards them. "hey. i'm here, what's up?" she asked.

arabella and bellamy came through the gates with finn's arms around their shoulders.

"finn. finn?" Clarke gasped running towards them. "oh my god. oh, oh my god." she panicked, checking his pulse.

"oh my god." arabella heard raven's voice from behind clarke.

"he's alive." clark informed.

"arabella wouldn't let me take the knife out." jasper stood next to clarke.

"no, that was a really good call." clarke told him. "get him in the drop ship now. go!"

five boys took finn into the drop ship, bellamy following behind. arabella was left in a slight state of panic when she looked down at her hands and saw finn's blood all over them.

arabella stood staring at her bloodied hands, the girl was exhausted after being out all night looking for octavia, then running from grounders, having to carry back finn to the camp, but she knew she couldn't sleep not knowing if finn was going to even make it or not. she had zoned out in her thoughts so she didn't even realise that bellamy and octavia were arguing right in front of her.

her head shot up and she stared at the siblings who were starting to shout at eachother.

"you don't think, o! that's the problem." bellamy started. "they killed three of our people today, and if you would've let me kill him when i had the chance, finn wouldn't be in there dying right now."

octavia shook her head. "stop it! stop blaming me for your mistakes!" she yelled. "what happened to finn is not my fault. k wanted to leave, so if finn dies in there, that's on you!"

arabella silently gasped, she definitely wasn't going to get in the middle of this argument.

"everything that's gone wrong is because of you." octavia snapped at her older brother. "you got me locked up on the ark. you wanted me to go to that stupid dance. you got mom killed!" she ranted.

bellamy took a few moments to answer. "me?" he asked. "mom was floated for having you, she's dead because you're alive. that was here choice. i didn't have a choice, my life ended the day you were born." he yelled, octavia's face dropped at what came out of her brothers mouth.

octavia scoffed and tried to leave the camp but bellamy stopped her. "where do you think you're going?" he asked angrily.

"you can't keep me locked in here forever." she seethed, ripping her arm out of his grip and walking back into the camp.

bellamy turned to see arabella staring at him in shock. "bella?" he walked over to the girl.

"sorry i probably should've just walked away, i didn't mean to listen in on all that." she looked back down at her hands that were still covered in finn's blood.

"you look so tired, gorgeous. you need to sleep." he told her calmly, looking down at her.

"wow thanks for making me feel pretty, bell." she let out a small laugh through her nose, trying to make herself feel a bit better about the whole situation.

bellamy smiled at her. "you always look pretty, let's get you cleaned up." he took her hand and took her to the barrel of water, and began to clean her bloody hands.
