The Griffin sisters found themselves jogging through the woods in search for a certain leader as Raven and Finn trail behind them, also keeping a look out for Bellamy. After a few minutes, Y/n's e/c eyes land on Bellamy's figure and she jogs over.

"Hey!" Y/n calls out. "Where is it?"

"Hey, princess. You taking a walk in the woods?" Bellamy asks, ignoring her question.

"They're getting ready to kill three hundred people up there to save oxygen." Y/n informs, remembering what Raven told them. "And I can guarantee you it won't be council members. It'll be working people. Your people."

"Bellamy." Finn begins as he stomps over, shoving the older boy. "Where's the radio?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Bellamy replies, shoving him back.

"Bellamy Blake?" Raven cuts in. "They're looking everywhere for you."

"Shut up." Bellamy snaps.

"Looking for him why?" Clarke questions.

"He shot Chancellor Jaha." Raven tells them.

"That's why you took the wristbands." Y/n concludes.

"Needed everyone to think we're dead." Clarke adds.

"And all that "Whatever the hell we want"? You just care about saving your own skin." Finn states.

The Blake boy ignores the three of them as he purses his lips, beginning to walk away from the four of them.

"Hey! Shooter! Where's my radio?" Raven asks, stepping in front of him.

"Get out of my way." Bellamy orders.

"Where is it?" Raven repeats.

Bellamy glares at her. "I should've killed you when I had the chance."

"Really? Well, I'm right here." Raven replies.

All of a sudden, he grips the collar of her jacket, pinning her to a tree, causing Clarke, Y/n and Finn to run over just as Raven brings out her knife, aiming it at Bellamy.

"Where's my radio?" Raven questions again.

"Okay, stop it." Clarke demands, but they ignore her.

Bellamy let's go off Raven, starting to walk away again. "Jaha deserved to die. You all know that."

"Yeah, he's not my favorite person, either. But he isn't dead." Raven informs.

"What?" Bellamy murmurs.

"You're a lousy shot." Raven comments.

"Bellamy, don't you see what this means?" Y/n asks, walking over to him. "You're not a murderer. You always did what you had to do to protect your sister. That's who you are. And you can do it again, by protecting three hundred of your people. Where's the radio?"

"It's too late." Bellamy quietly replies.

After his reply, they all headed back to camp, gathering some more people to help them find the radio at the river, which is where Bellamy told them that's where he threw it at. Y/n stood with her feet in the river, glancing down as Finn walked up to her.

"Hey, we should talk." Finn speaks up, giving a suggestion.

Y/n glances at him with furrowed brows. "About what?"

The boy only looks away from her and down at his feet before placing his gaze back into her eyes, giving her a knowing look, making her sigh as she thought of the night before in the bunker.

Y/n shakes her head. "Let's just forget about it. We're just gonna be friends, not a couple."

"Yeah, but may--" Finn begins.

"Hey. I found it." A boy calls out, interrupting him.

Y/n walks away from Finn, meeting Clarke half way as they watch Raven grab the radio from him, jogging back near shore. They watch as the girl examines the radio in her hands while the others crowd around her.

"Can you fix it?" Clarke questions.

Raven shrugs a shoulder. "Maybe. But it'll take half a day just to dry out the components to see what's broken."

"Like I said, it's too late." Bellamy reminds.

"Do you have any idea what you did?" Clarke asks as she steps forward, glaring at him. "Do you even care?"

"You asked me to help. I helped." Bellamy replies.

"Three hundred people are gonna die today because of you!" Clarke exclaims.

"Hold up." Raven intervenes. "We don't have to talk to the Ark. We just have to let them know we're down here, right?"

"Yeah, but how do we do that with no radio?" Finn questions.

The girl smiles in response, starting to explain her idea on using flares to reveal to the Ark that the one hundred were alive and well. Y/n and Clarke had shared a small smile at her idea, liking how it sounded. The e/c eyed girl soon found herself working on something as Raven ordered people around.

"Y/n, can I have a hand?" Raven asks, then handing the Griffin girl a tool. "Work these bolts here gently. Rocket fuel likes to go boom." Y/n obeys as Raven stands beside her. "We're gonna need power to fire."

Y/n nods a little. "They're tying in the batteries on the dropship. Should be ready when we get there."

"Great. So, what's the problem?" Raven questions.

"Nothing. I just..." Y/n starts, trailing off as Raven gives her a look. "Well, if we get the rockets to launch, will they see them from the Ark?"

"Like the good book says, it's all about burn time and cloud cover." Raven states, getting a nod. "But I know your mom will be watching. I've never seen anyone love someone the way she loves you and Clarke. You know that, right?"

"I did." Y/n replies, then seeing the confused look on the girl's face. "It's complicated."



Night had soon came to them as they quickly hurried and finished off the flares as they were all back at camp. When they did, everyone gathered in a crowd in the campsite, watching as the flares went up into the sky, all of them hoping that the Ark could see them at the moment, or soon hopefully.

In the middle of the crowd, Y/n stood beside her sister, the blonde's arm wrapped around her sister's shoulder as Bellamy walked to the other side of Y/n, the three of them all watching the flares go up like everyone else was.

"You two think they can see it from up there?" Bellamy asks the sisters.

"I don't know. I hope so." Clarke replies.

"Can you wish on this kind of shooting star?" Y/n suddenly questions, making the two of them look at her curiously. "Forget it."

"I wouldn't even know what to wish for." Bellamy states.

Clarke nods in agreement. "Me, too. What about you?"

The two look back up at the sky as Y/n slowly looks to her right, gaze landing on Finn and Raven, both best friends standing beside each other as they watched the flares. Sensing her eyes, Finn looks over, the two meeting eyes.

The whole time, they stare at one another, no one else seeming to notice.
