Clarke had a very hard time sleeping. As she tossed and turned in her make shift bed, all she could think about was Bellamy. Six days ago, he left for a hunting trip alone in the woods and hadn't come back. What happened to him? She sent search parties after him, but weren't successful in finding him. Octavia had been worried sick and still was. She even asked Lincoln for help, but he wasn't able to help them with any info.
Since Lincoln's people found out that he had saved Octavia's life and had been helping her, they declared him a traitor. So… he made sure to stay away from his own people.
Six days… six long days. Bellamy's disappearance had made everyone in camp on edge- especially Clarke. She argued with Bellamy about anything and everything, but still she wasn't ashamed to admit that she needed him back… now- right now. Where in heaven's name is her co-leader?
"Aaargh!" Clarke shouted and jumped out of bed. She couldn't take it anymore. She had to go look for him again.
Before walking out of her tent, Clarke grabbed her coat and checked the time- It was 2 AM. Late, but she couldn't just do nothing while Bellamy was out there- probably in danger or hurt badly.
"Where are you off to, Clarke?" she heard from behind her. It was Octavia.
"Octavia… I uhumm… I have to go pee. Bye now." Clarke replied, and turned around to walk away.
"Why do you have a back pack with you? And why the warm coat? Are you planning to go look for Bellamy?" Octavia asked, as she gripped at Clarke's arm.
Clarke cleared her throat and huffed." Look, I am planning to go search for your brother again. I want to form a small group, three or four people including me. And…" she began, but Octavia cut her off.
"Please, take me with you. I can't sit here and do nothing! I'm going crazy here! Please, Clarke!"
"No, I cannot do that." Clarke said, while shaking her head.
"Why not?!" Octavia shouted.
"Shhhh…. You're gonna wake up the whole camp."
"Hey, what's going on here?" Miller asked, as he made his way to the two girls.
"Miller. We are going to search for Bellamy again, OK? What do you think?" Clarke asked.
"OK, let's do this. I'm going to gather the guys. How many do you wanna bring?" he answered without hesitating.
"Four, including me." Clarke replied.
Miller was barely gone, when Octavia said." Boy, for someone who dislikes my brother and always argues with him, you sure are beginning to act like him! I'm not a child! Don't treat me like one! I am not gonna stay here and do nothing, Clarke!"
At that, Clarke shook her head."Hey! I am not gonna let you tag along with us. What if something happens to you? Huh? You think Bellamy is going to forgive me, if you get hurt or worse?! No, you will stay here and wait." She ordered, and walked away from Octavia.
"Clarke!" she called out, but not once did their blonde leader look back at her.

"Clarke? Where do you think you're going?" someone shouted from a distance.
As she turned around, Clarke saw Finn walking hastily towards her. He looked not amused- no, not at all.
She let out a deep breath and put a hand on Jasper's shoulder. "I don't need this now. Get rid of him for me, will you? He's going to try to stop me."
After making sure that they were armed, Clarke, Raven and two other guys from camp walked out the gate.

After searching for 2 days, the others wanted to go back to camp.
"I am not giving up! We will search until we find him, do you hear me!" Clarke said, the tone of her voice very threatening.
"Clarke, look at us. We are exhausted and we don't have any more food or water! We've searched for 2 whole days! None of us have had a good night's sleep! We all need some rest, including you. Look at you, you look like you're gonna fall over of exhaustion any minute now! We have to go back!" Raven pleaded.
Instead of turning back, Clarke threw deadly glares at Raven and the two boys." You wanna go back? Go back then! I will find Bellamy! " she shouted and walked deeper into the woods.
"Aaaargh! Stubborn! Stubborn! Just like her co-leader!" Raven muttered and walked angrily behind Clarke after a few minutes, followed by the two boys of course.
From a distance, Raven saw Clarke stop in her tracks abruptly.
"Clarke? Clarke? What is it?" Raven shouted and took bigger steps towards her. From afar, Raven saw something in front of Clarke. Was it a body? Was it… Bellamy?
In her young life, Clarke had seen a lot of things. And when she had to live on Earth with the others, she had seen lots of horrible, horrible stuff: From Jasper being speared to Finn being stabbed and she'd even seen a girl killed by an arrow by one of the grounders… But nothing could have ever prepared her for what she was seeing at that very moment.
