"You find her?" I ask, jogging up to Bellamy

"You find her?" I ask, jogging up to Bellamy.

"No." He answers and runs a hand through his hair. "I'm gonna gather a search party, we'll go looking outside of camp."

I nod in response I run to my tent and grab my bow and arrow.

After we found the radio that Bellamy threw in the water, Raven said it was pretty much unusable from the water damage.

When we arrived back at camp, we set off flares in the sky to let the Ark know we were alive, hoping somehow they would see it.

But in the time of doing that, it came to our attention that none of us had seen Octavia in a while. After searching around camp for some time, we still couldn't find her.

"Okay, let's head out." I say as I reach Bellamy who had recruited a search party.

"You don't have to do this, you know." Bellamy tells me as we exit the camp.

"I know but I want too." I say as I turn my head to look at him briefly. "Octavia's my friend."

He nods to me as all of us walk further into the woods.

"Over here!" I turn my head and raise my torch to see it was Miller who called. I walk over as he shines his torch down a steep hill.

"What is it?" Bellamy asks as we look down the hill.

"Down there. Isn't that Octavia's?" He asks as he shines his light on something dangling from a small branch.

Bellamy grabs a rope and throws it down the hill.

"What are you doing?" Finn asks, appearing beside me.

"We're gonna need the rope to get back up." Bellamy answers as he grabs the rope and slides himself down.

I clip the torch onto the loop of my belt and grab the rope, copying Bellamy's actions.

Once I reach the bottom I notice Bellamy crouched down not far from me.

"What is it?" I ask as I shine my torch on a rock he had just touched. Red substance on it which could only be blood.

"Could be Octavia's, it's still wet which means she could be close." He tells me as we are slowly joined by everyone else coming down the hill.

"Could also mean someone else is here if they've took her." I say as he nods.

"Prints are deeper going that way." Finn points out as I look to the footprints which lead in a path in front of us. "They were carrying her."

"If they took her, she's alive. Just like when they took me." Jasper tells us.

Bellamy looks at us before rising to his feet as we follow suit and begin to follow the footprints.
