Hey everyone, here is another update! It's a bit of a filler-up chapter, but the next chapter will be more exciting, I promise!


Clarke was running as fast as she could, but no matter how much she wanted to survive, she wasn't sure how much longer she could keep going. But she had no choice, she had to keep running if she ever wanted to see Bellamy again. So she just thought about him while running, pushing the thoughts about how tired she was out of her head.

She was so caught up in her own thoughts that she missed what Lincoln had said. But she did hear Finn say: "What is?" Clarke didn't know what Finn was asking but when she heard Lincoln say: "Some place they won't follow" she nearly smiled. Did that mean they would be save for a while? Could she rest for a moment? That would be great.

She got confused however when Lincoln stopped in front of what seemed to be a tunnel. Why wouldn't the grounders go in there? So she asked Lincoln: "Where does it lead?". "Everywhere," he said. Well that was not really a satisfying answer, Clarke thought. But then Lincoln continued and said something about a tunnel leading to their camp. That was all she wanted to hear. So when Lincoln said "GO!" she went in.

A few arrows seemed to be flying around their heads at first, but Lincoln had been right. They weren't following. As soon as she thought it was save she lowered her pace and eventually just stopped running. She needed to stop for a moment, she had to catch a breath.


Bellamy was standing in front of the drop ship when Octavia came running towards him. "I just heard Murphy has Jasper" she said. He didn't really want her to worry so he just said "Yeah" and then asked about if the work she was doing was done.

"WHAT? Bellamy my friend is in there with a killer! Of course O took it the wrong way and she got mad, he thought. He tried to explain that if no one was working they wouldn't be prepared for when the grounders came, but of course his little sister wasn't listening.

Instead, she started to yell at the closed door of the drop ship, in the hopes that Murphy would hear her. "MURPHY! If you ever touch Jasper, I swear to God you're dead!". She yelled. He tried to calm her down but it wasn't really working. He said: "Octavia, I've got this!" But she didn't believe him and was still really angry when she said: "Really? Because it doesn't look like you're doing anything about it!"

Well that had hurt a little. Did she really think he would just leave Jasper in there? As if on cue Raven came to update him about the situation. "Bellamy. You we're right. There is a loose panel in the back, if I can pop it we can get under the floor." That was great news. "Good. Do it." He told her.

He nearly laughed when he saw the look on O's face when she was apologizing to him as she realized he really was doing something about it. But then he realized O was also right. He should be doing more about it, he had to get it under control.

He tried talking some sense into Murphy one last time. "Murphy, I know you can hear me. All our food and ammo is in de drop ship, you're leaving us vulnerable for the grounders and I can't let that happen." He had no idea what he was going to do about it, but he just hoped that if he said that Murphy would understand that no one would survive like this.

But then Murphy replied. "Well in case you haven't noticed, you're not exactly in control right now." He hated it that Murphy was right, but he had to do something. So he said: "Come on Murphy, you don't want to hurt Jasper, you wanna hurt me. " It was true. Jasper would not be in there if it wasn't for him.

So he did the only thing he could think of to save Jasper. He proposed a trade. Jasper for himself. He heard Octavia say "No", but he had to do this. "Bellamy if you do this, he'll kill you" Octavia said. It was probably true, but it was the only thing he could do. "If I don't, he'll kill Jasper."

Besides, he thought, this is what Clarke would do. She would sacrifice herself for her people. But Clarke was not here, so it came down to him. And he was ready to be the better person. He couldn't let Jasper die for his mistakes. So he told Murphy to open the door so he could walk in, and Jasper could be free.

And then the drop ship was no longer closed. "We'll find a way to get you out" Octavia said. "I can handle Murphy" he replied. But that was a lie. He had no idea what he was doing and what he was walking into. But he had to do it anyway. Not just for Jasper, but for Clarke. He had to do the right thing for once, because of her.

So he gave one last order to Octavia. "Get everyone back to work, the grounders are still coming, we need to be prepared." And then he walked into the drop ship. For a moment he was worried it'd all been for nothing because Murphy just stood there with Jasper, but then Murphy threw Jasper out and closed the door. He was almost relieved, whatever was gonna happen, it wouldn't be for nothing.


So that was chapter 4 already! Please review, let me know what you think!
