CHAPTER SIXTEEN:

"I CAN'T LOSE YOU, TOO, OKAY?"

The buzzes of the bugs flying through the air could be heard, the chirps of crickets and birds adding to the sounds and the footsteps that crunched against the sand and dirt that laid on the ground beneath everyone's feet. Along a pathway in-between the woods, a group of grounders and the sky people could be seen walking together, but separately staying away from one another. At the moment, they found themselves headed to Tondc, the same village the two teenagers had killed eighteen grounders in, to give the body of Finn Collins to the people of the village so they would burn him in the fire.

That was when the truce between the grounders and the sky people could start. As they walked, the grounders made sure to keep alert in case of any threat that could possibly come and attack them, knowing this world like the back of their hands, considering they grew up on the ground. Earlier, the sky people had learned some of the grounders names, including the commander's, which happened to be Lexa.

A wagon-like ride could be seen in-between the groups as it was being led by a horse, a grounder sitting on the rear. On the wagon, the body of Finn Collins had been wrapped up in a large cloth, his face, hair, brown eyes and everything else not being able to be seen. Beside the wrapped up body, Raven was sadly staring down at the body of her best friend, wishing things could've been different for his fate.

Trailing behind the wagon, Y/n found herself being helped by Bellamy as they walked. The Griffin girl had refused for them to go without her, so that's how she found herself here. However, the grounders had forced her to walk, considering they still had a hatred for her.

So that's how Bellamy found himself helping her walk, her arm over his shoulders while his was around her waist, making sure to keep clear of her back. Clarke was on the other side of her sister, hand on her waist a bit. The night before, the e/c eyed girl had been given some stitches along her back.

The large cut the grounder, Indra, had given her on her face had stopped bleeding and luckily, it didn't need stitches but it'd leave a scar. As they walked, Y/n's gaze casts to the woods, eyes widening upon seeing Finn standing there, staring blankly at her. Bellamy soon noticed her gaze on the woods and followed, but furrowed his brows when he saw nothing.

"Hey, you doing alright?" Bellamy questions.

Y/n nods slowly, glancing back at Finn, only to see he wasn't there. "Yeah."

"You did the right thing." Bellamy tells her.

"Now I get to live with it." Y/n replies.

"You still think this truce is a bad idea, don't you?" Clarke asks, glancing at Bellamy.

"I think we're wasting time with politics while our friends are in trouble." Bellamy admits.

Clarke sighs. "We need their army to get to Mount Weather, Bellamy, and you know it."
