"Look at you. Raven Reyes the zero-G mechanic strikes again" I joke and she laughs in amusement.

"Thanks" She tells Finn who hands her a cloth and she puts it to her head.

"This is Clarke. She was on the drop ship too" Finn says.

"Clarke?" Raven questions, standing up and I stand up too, backing off as Clarke nods to Raven's questioning tone.

"This was all because of your mom" Raven tells the blonde.

"My mom?" Clarke asks.

"This was all her plan. We were trying to come down here together but if we waited- oh, my God! We couldn't wait because the council was voting whether to kill three hundred people to save air" Raven rants and my eyes go wide in shock.

"When?" Clarke asks.

"Today" Raven replies.

"We have to tell them you're alive!" She adds, running to get a radio that isn't there.

All three of them run over but I stay still, knowing it's not in there.

"The radio's gone!" Raven announces and I close my eyes in frustration.

"It must've gotten loose during reentry" She adds.

"I should've strapped it to the a-strut. Stupid!" She snaps, hitting the pod.

"No, no, this is my fault. Someone got here before us" Clarke says.

"Actually, It's my fault" I admit and they all look at me.

"What do you mean?" Raven asks in confusion.

"You let him take it, didn't you?" Finn demands in disbelief.

"Of course she did!" Clarke snaps and I look down at my feet.

"I'm sorry" I apologise.

"What have you done?!" Finn groans.

"We have to find him" Clarke snaps taking the couple's heated gaze off me.

They all start running but I take a shortcut, knowing exactly which way he went. As I'm sprinting through the woods I spot him and run faster.

"Bellamy!" I shout and he turns around.

"What's wrong?" He asks, grabbing my shoulders to steady me.

"Clarke, Raven, Finn. They know you took the radio, they're right behind me" I pant, out of breath and he snaps his head back before grabbing my hand and pulling me forward at walking pace.

"They know that I let you take it, Bell" I mumble and he shakes his head at me.

"You shouldn't have said anything" He breathes out.

"I know. I'm sorry" I frown guiltily.

"Don't worry about it" He assures me.

"Hey!" I hear Clarke yell.

"Act natural" Bellamy whispers and I nod.

"Where is it?" Clarke snaps as she catches up with us.

"Hey, princess. You taking a walk in the woods?" Bellamy asks nonchalantly.

"They're getting ready to kill three hundred people up there to save oxygen. And I can guarantee you it won't be council members. It'll be working people. Your people" Clarke lays into him.

"Bellamy. Where's the radio?" Finn snaps, pushing Bellamy so hard I stumble too due to my hand still being in Bellamy's.

"I have no idea what you're talking about" Bellamy retorts, pushing Finn back.

"Bellamy Blake? They're looking everywhere for you" Raven states.

"Shut up" He snaps at her and I begin to worry.

"Looking for him why?" Clarke asks.

"Back off, blondie" I warn her and she looks at me suspiciously.

"He shot Chancellor Jaha" Raven tells them and they look at Bellamy in realisation.

"That's why you took the wristbands. Needed everyone to think we're dead" Clarke shouts.

"And you knew!" She accuses me and I step forward to hit her but Bellamy holds me back.

"Leave her out of this" He snaps at the blonde.

"All that 'whatever the hell we want'? You just care about saving your own skin" Finn scoffs.

Bellamy turns to walk away and Raven follows right behind him.

"Hey, shooter! Where's my radio?!" She shouts at him.

"Get out of my way" He replies.

"Where is it?!" She shouts.

"I should've killed you when I had the chance" Bellamy threatens but I know that his threat is empty.

"Really? Well, I'm right here" Raven taunts him.

Bellamy grabs her and pushes her against a tree. We all rush towards them and Raven flicks out her knife, pointing it at Bellamy's face.

"Where's my radio?" She growls.

"Stop it!" I shout.

The two of them let go of each other and Bellamy starts walking away.

"Jaha deserved to die. You all know that" He calls out.

"Yeah, he's not my favourite person either. But he isn't dead" Raven yells and my eyes widen as I look at Bellamy who is staring at me.

"What?" He asks Raven.

"You're a lousy shot" Raven scoffs.

"Bell! This is great news" I tell him and he looks straight at me as I walk up to him.

"Don't you see what this means? You didn't kill anyone! You're not a murderer. You've always done everything to protect Octavia and that's who you are" I smile and he lets out a deep breath.

"You can save those three hundred people, Bellamy. Three hundred of our people. Where did you put the radio?" I question him and he looks down at his feet.

"It's too late" He argues, looking back up at me.

"It can't be too late. Show us where you put it" I reason with him.

"I threw it in the river" He admits.

"You have got to be kidding me!" Raven shouts.

"Finn, Clarke! You need to go back to camp and get a team to search for the radio! Bellamy will take Raven and I to the river!" I yell.

Clarke reluctantly agrees and heads off with Finn. Bellamy starts walking and Raven catches up with me.

"So, I see you have a type" Raven mutters and I roll my eyes.

"Bellamy is nothing like Murphy, who -by the way- is a raging dick that threatened to kill me" I grumble and she gasps.

"I always knew I was right about that guy" She snaps.

"Did he do that?" She asks pointing to the scar forming on my neck.

"Yup" I say, popping the 'p'.

She looks at me with a familiar look that makes me groan.

"Go on. Say it" I huff.

"I told you so" She chirps and I roll my eyes.

"Yeah, you did" I sigh.
