"We're here, and then we're gone, and it's not about the time we're here. But what we do with the time."

"Hey, is that it?" Finn says running ahead of me and Clarke. It's daylight now and my feet are killing me.
"We found it!" Finn shouts enough for us to hear but not too loud for anyone further to hear. Me and Clarke walk up to him while he scans the area to make sure there's no grounders lurking. We open the handle of the door and see a dark haired girl either passed out or dead. I recognize her once I get a clear view of her face, her name is Raven. Me and her shared a mechanics class. Although I only stayed in that class for a month I still learned some things and I knew her. From the blood I want to say she's dead but I put my fingers to her neck and there's a pulse. I also take notice that she's breathing slightly.
"Raven. Raven, wake up." I shake her a little and she starts to move. Me and Clarke share a look and she opens her eyes.
"I made it?" She gets up a little slowly and me and Clarke move out of her way so she can get out. She steps out of the pod and looks around and takes it all in.
"I imagined it would smell like this." She smiles and I smile at her. I was her two weeks ago, taking it all in for the first time. Everything seemed so simple two weeks ago. We were just kids stepping foot on the ground and breathing it all in, and now. Now we have grounders to worry about and poisonous fog.
"There's no one around." Finn says walking up and his eyes widen at the girl.
"Raven?" He questions and Raven turns to him and smiles and runs and jumps on him.
"Finn." She says and kisses him. Oh god. I look over to Clarke and she looks hurt. I know they had something going, it was so obvious. The little touches they shared and sometimes at night I would see him go into her tent.
"Are you okay?" I ask her and she nods. Raven and Finn both walk up to us.
"She needs to put pressure on her wound." Clarke tells them and gets out a rag and hands it to her.
"Thanks." Raven says and takes it from her. Finn introduces me, and Raven even says she recognizes me from our class we had together. Then he introduced Clarke and Raven's eyes widen.
"Clarke? This was all because of your mom." She tells her and Clarke looks confused.
"My mom? This was all her plan?" She questions Raven.
"We were trying to come down here together. If we waited oh, my God..." She pushes past us and starts looking in the pod for something. The radio.
"The radio is gone. It must have gotten loose during reentry." She explains to us groaning.
Finn shakes his head, "Someone got here before us."
"We need to find him." I say. Bellamy has taken this thing too far.
"Three-hundred people are going to die to save air if we don't get in contact with the ark." She explains and my heart drops. I couldn't hate Bellamy more if I tried to right now. Three-hundred innocent people are going to die because he swiped the radio.
We go in the direction we came from and soon up ahead we see Bellamy. We get closer to him and he turned around surprised to see us all here.
"Where is it?" I step up to talk to him. He looks into my eyes and I almost want to look away but I don't.
"Hi, princess." He speaks. I don't change my expression.
"You taking a walk in the woods?" He asks me. He knows we know, he's just playing stupid. My fists clench and it takes everything I have in me not to punch him. I don't know how I have more self control over punching him than I did with Murphy. I guess it was because I didn't have a big ass crush on Murphy like I do Bellamy. But right now it seems impossible to even think about liking him.
