It's been around ten minutes since Phoenix and Clarke decided for everyone to leave camp.

Phoenix still is wondering if this is the right choice.

In one hand, of course it's the right choice. Even an idiot knows not to fight a war that they can't win.

But on the other hand, this is the cowards way out. At least they would all die a warriors death.

'Never stop fighting.'

But that's exactly the opposite of what Phoenix was doing. She stoppped fighting, she took the easy way out.

The camp was chaos.

Gunners and every corner of the camp walls.

The other delinquents running all over camp getting their things together.

As well as Ravens screams echoing throughout camp.

In the dropship Clarke has Raven on a table cauterizing her wound with a heated up blade.

Raven screams in pain while Phoenixs as well as everyone else's nose fills up with the smell of burning flesh.

Finn, Clarke, Bellamy as well as Phoenix were in the room with Raven.

"Couldn't you of tried to take out the bullet first?" Phoenix asks Clarke.

"We don't have time nor the tools to." Clarke says as she continues to put pressure on Ravens  wound.

Phoenix then hesitates to take Ravens other hand that Finn wasn't holding but eventually she pushes her feeling aside and takes Ravens hand.

Raven looks at her in confusion why Phoenix would take her hand after eveything she's done, but then relaxes through the pain.

Clarke then takes the blade off of Ravens wound.

"That should stop the external bleeding." Clarke says as she puts the blade down.

"I don't understand. How did Murphy get a gun?" Finn asks.

"Long story." Bellamy answers.

"We got lucky. If Murphy hit the fuel tank instead of me, we'd all be dead." Raven says through the pain.

"Wait, there's rocket fuel down there?" Phoenix asks as Raven looks her way.

"Enough to build a bomb?" Clarke asks with wide eyes.

"Enough to build 100 bombs... if we had any gunpowder left." Raven responds as everyone sighs.

"Let's get back to the reapers. Maybe they'll help us. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, right?" Bellamy asks while holding Lincolns journal as everyone looks his way.

"Not this enemy. We saw them. Trust me, it's not an option." Clarke responds as Phoenix raises an eyebrow.

"There's no time for this," Finn says releasing his hand from Ravens as Phoenix holds Ravens even tighter. "Can she walk or not?" Finn asks as Raven takes her hand out of Phoenixs and tries to get up.

"I'm good to go." Raven says while Phoenix then pushes Raven down as she tries to get up.

"Hey, listen to me. That bullet is still inside you. If by some miracle, there's no internal bleeding, it might hold until we get somewhere safe. But you are not walking there. Is that clear?" Clarke snaps.

Raven then says "yeah." under her breath

"I'll get the stretcher." Finn says as he runs off.

"Can't run away fast enough, huh? Real brave." Bellamy says before Finn leaves the dropship.
