The cold river water bit into Clarke's skin as she waded through the current, slowly making her way towards the clumps of disinfectant seaweed. She had been extra careful while going through these waters ever since Octavia was attacked by the water snake thing. Today was no exception. However her mindfulness did not stop Finn from pacing nervously along the shore, waiting for her safe return. Clarke huffed under her breath.

"Finn, if you don't stop pacing I will pull you into the water with me!" She warned.

"I'm sorry," Finn began.

"I just keep remembering Octavia being dragged under the water and I couldn't bare it if I lost you that way…"

Clarke turned her back to the boy, a gentle blush staining her cheeks at his tender worry.

"Well, I'm fine - do you see any massive man eating water-lizards around here?" She asked.

Finn was silent.

"You guys have been overreacting lately about the river monster. I think we scared it away, you know." Clarke assured, reaching for the buoyant plants.

"So stop fretting before I- AH!" Clarke was cut short as her head disappeared under the water.

"CLARKE!" Finn screamed pulling his makeshift blade from his belt.

"Shit!" He cursed, running into the water, knife held protectively in front of himself, eyes darting from side to side to look for whatever dangers had pulled Clarke under.

But there was nothing, no bubbles, no thrashing, nothing. Just the gentle sound of the water softly falling over small rocks and twigs.

Finn pushed through more and more water, making his way to the middle of the stream so that half of his body was submersed in the chilly water. Flailing his arms through the water, Finn grabbed a hold of something. Lifting his hand, his eyes widened as he held Clarke's watch, waterlogged and broken.

She would never give that watch up without a fight.

"CLARKE!" He yelled again, only to be met with silence.

He moved around in the water more, looking for a flash of blonde hair or the twinkle of blue eyes in the water, but found none.

Clarke's existence seemed to have been wiped off of earth. It was almost as if she had never even been at the river just minutes ago. Guilt and fear began to eat away at Finn's senses and within seconds, the teen had bolted out of the water - making his way back to the camp in record time.

Stopping in front of the makeshift gate to catch his breath, Finn's blood ran cold at the idea of what he had to say to Bellamy.

Clarke was gone.

"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN 'SHE'S GONE'?" Bellamy screamed at the boy.

"I don't know! One minute, she was knee deep in water, telling me to calm down, and the next - she was gone!" Finn explained, running a hand nervously across his jaw.

"You have got to be fucking kidding me…" Bellamy muttered, beginning to pace.

"I thought that when I said 'protect her', you would actually PROTECT HER."

"I TRIED. I ran into the water to look for her-" Finn was cut off.

"AND THEN YOU WENT INTO THE WATER AFTER HER? After something literally ATTACKED HER AND PULLED HER UNDER, you thought it would be a good idea to go into the same water where she was TAKEN? IS EVERYONE HERE A FUCKING MORON" Bellamy yelled incredulously.

"I tried to SAVE HER! YOU were too busy with your HAREM to even go with her to the river when she asked you!" Finn screamed back.

Bellamy's eyes turned murderous.

"Do NOT turn this back around on ME!" Bellamy warned.

"BUT YOU CAN'T YELL AT ME FOR SOMETHING THAT I DIDN'T DO!"

Raven appeared between the two men, pushing them away from each other.

"Exactly." Raven hissed at her ex-boyfriend.

"It's what you didn't do."

Finn looked like he'd been shot. "But I tried. The minute I saw her go under, I went into the water to look for her - but she was gone."

Bellamy's jaw clenched.

"Alright, fine. Let's say that you did everything you could - but that doesn't help us find Clarke." Octavia pointed out from behind Raven.

Finn nodded in agreement, and sat down on a log, defeated.

"There was no blood in the water, or at least that I could see." Finn supplied.

Bellamy nodded.

"That's good. That might mean she's still alive."

Finn turned to Bellamy, his eyes set.

"She has to be alive. This camp will go to hell if she's gone."

Bellamy decided he really hated Finn.
