AVERY WAS BEGINNING TO PANIC.

The five of them had been stuck under the tent for about twenty minutes, waiting for the fog to come and go.

But nothing seemed to happen.

"How long are we supposed to wait?" Jasper asked,

"Will this even work?"

"We'll find out." Finn responded,

"No, we won't." 

"Bellamy!" Avery hissed as he stuck his head out from the tent and looked around, 

"There's no fog." 

"Maybe it was a false alarm." Finn stated as they stepped out of the tent

"They're coming back." Bellamy said, spotting another Grounder running parallel to them,

"I think he's alone." Jasper whispered, looking around,

"Now can we run?" Monroe asked,

"He doesn't see us. I'm going after him." Bellamy stated,

"And what? Kill him?"

"No. Catch him. Make him tell me where Octavia is, then kill him." He answered before going after the lone Grounder,

"How do we know he's not leading us to another trap?" Avery asked Finn,

"We don't."

They followed the Grounder back to a cave, where they spotted a figure unconscious on the ground and another one chained to the wall.

"Bellamy?"

"Octavia!"

Avery stood next to Finn as she watched the family reunion. Bellamy unlocked the chains and the two hugged. They may have lost a few on the way, but they found what they came for.

"How did you find me?" Octavia asked as she pulled away and hugged Jasper and moved onto Avery,

"Followed him." Jasper answered, motioning to the Grounder on the floor of the cave. 

"We should go. Now. Before he wakes up." Octavia stated,

"He's not gonna wake up." Bellamy grabbed a spear from the wall before standing above the Grounder,

"Bellamy, stop. He didn't hurt me. Let's just go." Octavia begged,

"They started this. Finn. Move." He ordered,

"Bellamy," Avery stepped forward and wrapped her fingers around the spear, "He's unconscious. If we leave now, we might be back at camp before he wakes up."

"Foghorn." Finn stated.

Avery turned to see what he was talking about before the Grounder grabbed a knife and stabbed Finn in the chest,

Bellamy pushed Avery to the side while the Grounder stood up. The two men fought as Avery crawled over to Finn, "Finn, can you hear me? Finn?" She put pressure on his wound and he groaned, "We're gonna get you back to Clarke."

The Grounder had Bellamy pinned to the ground, the spear pointed at his throat, "Stop! That's my brother!"

Avery stood and grabbed one of the sticks from the wall before smacking the Grounder over the head, knocking him out.

Everyone looked at her as she breathed heavily, "We need to get to Clarke."

"Should we take out the knife?" Jasper asked as Octavia tied a strip of fabric around Finn's waist,

Avery shook her head, "We don't know if the knife hit anything. It might do more harm than good if we move it."

While Bellamy carried Finn, Monroe and Octavia stayed behind them due to Octavia's injuries while Jasper and Avery scouted ahead.

Only a few hours later they made it back to camp. The wind seemed to have picked up and the sky got darker,

"Where's Clarke? Get Clarke now." Jasper ordered as they entered camp,

"Hey. I'm here. What's up?" The blonde asked as she walked over,

"It's Finn." Avery sighed,

"Finn?" Bellamy walked through the gates carrying the nearly unconscious boy, "Oh, my God." She whispered before checking his pulse, "He's alive." 

"Avery wouldn't let me take the knife out." Jasper stated,

"No, that was a good call." Clarke said as two other boys grabbed Finn from Bellamy's arms, "Get him in the dropship now. Go!"

Avery's hands began to shake and Bellamy walked over to her as the crowd dispersed, "Hey, hey, calm down." He grabbed her wrists, "You did good out there. You saved me."

"But what about Finn? What if he dies because we didn't act fast enough?"

"Clarke is going to take care of him, okay?" Avery nodded, "Go get cleaned up."

She stepped away, about to go clean the blood from her hands when she heard Bellamy approach his sister, "Hey, hey. Why were you defending him?"

Avery stopped and turned to watch the confrontation, "Because he saved my life. That spear that hit Roma was actually meant-"

"No, you're wrong." He interrupted her,  "I saved your life. For all you know, he was keeping you alive to use you as bait for one of their traps,"

"No. I don't think so."

"You don't think, O! That's the problem. They killed 3 of our people today. And if you would've let me kill him when I had the chance, Finn wouldn't be in there dying right now." Bellamy hissed,

"Stop blaming me for your mistakes." Octavia yelled, "What happened to Finn is not my fault. I wanted to leave, so if Finn dies in there, that's on you. Everything that's gone wrong is because of you. You got me locked up on The Ark. You wanted me to go to that stupid dance. You got mom killed!"

Avery noticed the way Bellamy tensed and knew that Octavia hit a nerve, and what he was going to say next was going to hurt, "Me?" He sniffed, "Mom was floated for having you. She's dead because you're alive. That was her choice. I didn't have a choice. My life ended the day you were born." Octavia went towards the exit and Bellamy grabbed her, "Where do you think you're going?"

"You can't keep me locked up in here forever." She hissed, pulling her arm away and going back towards the rest of the tents.

Thunder sounded above them and Avery felt drops of water hit her face.

"Bellamy." She approached him but he stopped her,

"Get inside. Go!" He yelled at her and she paused, "Avery, just go. A storm's coming."
