"Whoa what's that" I hear someone say from outside the tent

"Octavia wake up" I say shaking her awake

She groans.

I get up and dress myself.

"Wait for me" She says hopping up and dressing as well.

"What's happening?" I ask Miller when we walk outside the tent to see a dark sky full of stars and everyone crowding around.

"Something fell from the sky, we think it's from the ark" he tells me excitedly

"Bellamy get out here" Octavia calls to her brother

He walks out of his tent shirtless with a big smirk on his face.

I roll my eyes.

"Something fell from the sky" Octavia tells him

"It's probably from the ark" Someone else tells him

His face drops

"We should get some people ready to go check it out" Sterling suggests

"No we'll go in the morning Bellamy says while grabbing a shirt and putting it on

"Every grounder for miles would have seen it, we need to get there before them" Miller tells him

"We're going in the morning and that's the last I want to hear of it" Bellamy says before walking off

"What's wrong with him?" I ask her

She shrugs

Clarke and Finn walk over to us; Clarke looks hesitant to even be near me.

"Don't worry I'm not going to hit you again" I assure her

She gives me a half smile.

"I heard about the pod falling from the ark. Why isn't anyone going to find it" She asks

"Bellamy won't let us" I tell her annoyed

"Where is Bellamy?" She asks

I scan around to see if I can find him but I realize he's missing and Octavia has disappeared from my side as well. She must have gone after him.

I shrug not knowing where they are.

"He's going to find the pod, we need to get there before him" Clarke says panicked

"Calm down, we'll go right now "Finn says

"Coming?" Clarke asks me

"Why not" I sigh following them into the forest

~

We've been searching for hours and the sun has started to rise.

"I see something" Finn says

We run over to the shiny looking thing in the distance.

Clarke and I get there first and we open the pod to see a girl just waking up inside.

"Did I make it?" the girl croaks out

Clarke nods

The girl steps out and twirls around.

"Raven?" I hear Finn call

The girl runs towards him and kisses him passionately; Clarke has a scowl on her face.

"Do you have a radio?" Clarke asks Raven

"yes..oh my god the radio I need to tell the ark you guys are alive or they're going to cull 300 people" Raven says running to her pod.

She searches for a minute coming out empty handed.

"It must have fell out during my landing" she says upset

"No.. it didn't, someone just got here first" Clarke says

"Bellamy?" I ask her

"We've got to find him" Clarke answers with a nod

Clarke and Finn take off running but I just walk behind them with Raven since she's not quite up to running yet.

"So you and Finn?" I ask

"Yep, ever since we were kids" she answers

"Bellamy" I hear Clarke yell, interrupting the awkward chit chat Raven and I we're making

"I think she found him "I tell Raven

We jog over to see Clarke and Finn standing with Bellamy

"Where's my Radio?" Raven yells at him

"What are you talking about?" he says with a smirk

"Bellamy this isn't funny" Clarke tells him

"Wait? Bellamy Blake?" Raven asks

He nods

"Everyone on the ark is looking for you" she says

"What, why?" I ask confused

"He shot the chancellor" Raven tells us

"What?" I yell

"Jaha deserved to die. You all know that." Bellamy says

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

"What?" Bellamy exclaims

"You're a lousy shot." She says with a laugh "where's the radio?" Raven asks again

He ignores her

"Bellamy there going to kill 300 people if we don't radio them" I plead with him

The colour drains from Bellamys face

"It's too late" he mutters leading us to where he put it.

He leads us to a river and points.

"You threw it in there?" Clarke asks

He nods

"Fuck" Raven Mutters

~
Before I knew it Finn had recruited half the camp to look in the river for the radio.

I was knee deep in cold, running water while Bellamy stood on the river bank watching us.

"You it would be nice if you would help" I tell him

"I told you guys where it was that's as much as I'm helping" he says

"Found it" Jones calls holding up the radio

We all rush back to camp and see if Raven can fix the radio.

"It's fried" she says annoyed

"We need to get a signal to the ark" Clarke tells everyone

"What about flares?" I ask

"Could we make them go high enough?" Clarke asks Raven

"I can get some parts from my pod and we can try" Raven says leaving with a few kids to go strip the pod with her

~

Raven had managed to build three rocket flares and lit them lighting up the sky.

"Do you think they'll see them?" I ask

"Let's hope so" Clarke sighs
