I'm sorry it has took so long for me to update this story! I hope you enjoy. Please like and review and I'm sorry if it sucks!

Clarke's legs had started to ache after a while, but that didn't slow her down. She kept walking forward, while the others were walking at a slower pace, laughing and taking in their surroundings. It was beautiful, so different from the Arkes boring metal walls and floors. Bellamy was walking on his own, his arms drawn over his chest. The others were talking about how they got into lockup, apparently Jasper and Monty got sent to lockup, because they were talking things from the herb garden. Everyone knew how Finn got locked up, he went on an illegal spacewalk. When they asked Octavia, she said bitterly it was because she was born.

Finn jogged up to Clarke and asked. "Why did they put you in solitary?"

She thought about not answering the question, but what would it matter if she told them? Its not like she would get in trouble.

She turned toward them, stopping. "I got locked in solitary because, the Arke is dying. There is only a few months of air left. My Father was the one to find the fault, and he wanted the people to know. The Chancellor didn't want that," she swallowed, and then continued. "They shut me in solitary so I couldn't tell anyone. This is why they sent us to the ground, so they could see if the earth is survivable. And even if it's not, we still bought them some time."

They all looked shocked at this, nobody said anything for a while.

Bellamy broke the silence first, saying. "That must of been lonely, being all by yourself."

Clarke looked to him quickly, a little bit shocked. She paused for a moment and then said. "Yeah, it was"

He nodded, with something like understanding in his eyes.

Finn was by her side in a flash, he was starring at her with sympathy in his dark eyes. "That's why they floated your old man?" He asked.

She just nodded, and started walking forward again.

"I for one am glad the Ark is dying," Octavia said. "they deserve it, for what they did to me."

Everyone looked at her shocked, even Bellamy looked surprised at that.

"You can't mean that." Monty said.

"Oh I do." She said, as she bounced forward.

Jasper looked to Clarke, with realisation flashing in his eyes. "They are going to start reducing the population aren't they?"

"Yeah," She told them. "They are."

They walked for a little while longer, but then Octavia stopped... Again.

"These flowers are beautiful." She said, as she poked the small purple flower.

"Come on we need to keep moving." Clarke told them, impatiently.

"Come on, we landed on the ground only a few hours ago. And you don't care at all about taking it all in?" Finn asked, cocking an eyebrow at her.

"I only care about finding Mount Weather, and don't you think it's weird that there are no animals around?"

Finn just shrugged.

"It could mean that the radiation killed them all, that means we will die." She said, fear tightening her chest.

"Wouldn't we have died already?" Octavia asked, her blue eyes flickering with fear.

"We don't know enough about the radiation, to know how it will effect us," She told her, crossing her arms across her chest. "It sure is pretty though." She added, gesturing to the forest around them.

They started walking again, but in silence this time. Clarke could tell everyone was on edge, after what she had said. Bellamy didn't look concerned though, he was just walking with his hands in his pockets, watching her. She quickly averted her eyes away from him, and slowed her pace, so that everyone else passed her and she was walking beside Bellamy.

"Why do you keep staring at me." She hissed at him.

He shrugged, and then said. "I'm just curious."

"Curious about what?" She asked.

He stopped suddenly, grabbing hold of her right wrist. "About how you know so much about these bracelets." He said, holding her arm up, his grip was tight.

She tried to pull her arm back, but he was too strong. "It is pretty obvious, the Ark wants to know if the ground is survivable. So they can come down here." She said, feeling anger boil up inside her.

"How do you get them off?" He asked, his grip tightening, making the bracelet pinch her skin.

"Why would you want to take them off?" She asked. "Why don't you want them to come down?"

He clenched his teeth together, but didn't say anything.

"You must of done something pretty b- she was cut off by Bellamy, who grabbed her by the arms and pushed her against a tree, hard.

"Just keep your mouth shut!" He spat at her, his face inches from hers. His eyes were so dark brown they looked almost black.

Against her will, a gasp of pain escaped her lips and she cursed herself silently for it.

His eyes flashed with regret and he let go of her quickly. He starred down at her for a few moments, his face expressionless and then he turned abruptly and jogged to catch up with the others. She starred after him for a few seconds, feeling shocked. She rubbed her sore arms, and sucked in a breath, feeling hot anger lick up inside her like a flame.

A little time past and than Finn came slowly up to them, his finger held in front of his lips. He gestured for them to follow him, he kneeled down in front of a fallen tree. Clarke kneeled behind him and looked to where he was pointing. There was a deer stood grazing. "It's so beautiful." Clarke thought, smiling so wide it hurt her cheeks.

Finn looked over at her. "No animals huh?" He said, lifting his eyebrows up.

She ignored him and watched the deer.

Finn moved a little closer and a twig snapped under his boot, the deers head turned towards them. Octavia gasped at Clarke's side, the deer had two heads. Clarke felt a little sick at the sight, it was so disturbing.

"We aren't going to grow a second head too are we?" Jasper asked, his voice shaking.

No one answered that.

Some time later, Clarke was still avoiding looking at Bellamy. She just couldn't figure out why he acted like he did, sure he was a little intimidating but he didn't seem like someone who would be violent for no reason. Clarke was pulled from her train of thought, by Octavia who was running forward. She peered over a cliff it seemed like, and she begin taking off her clothes.

Bellamy stepped forward, looking angry. "Octavia! What are you doing!" He shouted.

She looked back at them, only wearing a top and underwear. Jaspers mouth was hanging open, and Bellamy turned toward him looking deadly. Jasper quickly averted his eyes away from her.

"Octavia, put your clothes back on now!" Bellamy demanded.

"I will be fine, Bell." She said, winking.

And then she just jumped off the cliff.

Bellamy rushed forward, shouting. "Octavia!"

Clarke ran forward, and looked over the edge, holding her breath. Her breath rushed out, and she nearly laughed. Octavia was in a lake, her head was the only thing above water, she had a mischievous look on her face.

She lifted her eyebrows up at them. "Come in guys!" She told them.

"But Octavia, we can't swim." Jasper said, sounding disappointed.

"No, but we can stand." She said, and then rose up from the water, revealing that the water was only up by to her waist.

She laughed then, splashing them. "Come on in. The water feels amazing." She said.

Jasper started taking off his shoes at her side. Clarke quickly took off her boots, jacket and pants. She dipped her toes into the water first, and smiled. The water did feel amazing, it was cool but not too cold. She walked in and bent down so the water lapped around her shoulders. She gave out a long sigh, she couldn't help it. She looked to the shore, and saw that Bellamy was watching her, he quickly looked away once he saw her looking. Jasper was just walking into the water, splashing loudly. She leaned her head back into the water, closing her eyes. She let herself relax for awhile.

"GET OUT OF THE WATER!" Monty shouted.

Clarke's eyes snapped open, Jasper was already running back to the shore, Bellamy was shouting to Octavia to get out. Clarke quickly stood, and started toward the shore. Her heart was pounding in her chest. Octavia was close behind her, splashing through the water. Bellamy was on the shore stripping off his clothes, shouting to Octavia. Fear laced his voice and that made Clarke move faster. Clarke's foot got caught in some red seaweed, she kicked at it but it wouldn't budge. She bent down and untangled it from her foot, and started running through the water again.

Jasper was running through the water, to Octavia who was now in front of Clarke. Bellamy was close behind but Jasper got to her first, grabbing hold of her arms, he helped her out of the water. Bellamy went straight to Octavia, taking her in his arms. Once he was sure she was okay, he started towards Clarke. But suddenly something grabbed hold of her leg. White hot pain raced up her leg, as something dragged her through the water. The water rushed up her nose, as it dragged her underwater. After what felt like a very long time, the creature brought her above the water again. She coughed and sucked in a breath, she could hear the others shouting and throwing things into the water, trying to get it to let go. It dragged Clarke underwater again and she saw three red eyes starring at her, the air left her mouth and bubbles shot up in front of her. She ran her hands along the lakes floor, trying to find a weapon. Her hand found a piece of seaweed but she dropped it. Her vision started to go black around the edges, her hand felt something hard, she grabbed hold of it before it could get out of reach. It was a sharp piece of rock.

She felt her hands along the creature looking for its eyes, it felt hard and slimy. Her hand went over one of its eyes and she hit the rock into it as hard as she could.

It let go off her and jerked its head back and forth, making bubbles shoot up all around her. She quickly pushed back and stood, she coughed up water and gasped for air. She tried to run to the shore, but she couldn't get her leg to move fast enough, Bellamy came splashing through the water, and grabbed hold of her. While the others splashed their hands in the water, distracting the creature. Bellamy put her arm over his shoulder and put his arm around her waist, half carrying her out of the water. Clarke's heart was pounding so hard it hurt and she was still gasping for air. Once she was out of the water, Bellamy laid her down on the floor. Everyone came running over to where, she was lied on the ground.

Finn was in her face suddenly. "Clarke! are you okay?" He asked, looking very worried.

She leaned up on her elbows, looking around. Everyone stood around her looking very concerned. "I'm fine." She told them, trying to process what had just happened.

"What was that thing?" She asked.

"I don't know. It looked kind of like a giant snake." Jasper said, terrified.

She thought about that for a moment and then jumped as someone touched her leg. It was Bellamy, he was tending to her leg. Clarke looked at her leg and saw why. Her leg was bleeding badly, she could see the teeth marks in her leg where the creature had bit into it.

"Jasper, can you get a wet piece of cloth for me?" Octavia asked him, stepping towards Clarke.

He nodded eagerly. He and Monty walked down to the lakes edge, playfully pushing at each other.

Octavia kneeled down next to Bellamy, who was now leaning back on his heels. Finn was sat on her other side, looking down at Monty and Jasper. Clarke pushed herself up so that she was sat up.

"How did you get it to let go?" Octavia asked, her eyes sparking with curiosity.

"I stabbed it in the eye, with a rock." She said, looking down at her leg.

Octavia looked surprised, but didn't say anything.

Jasper came back and handed Octavia the cloth, she took it off of him and climbed gracefully to her feet. She leaned up and kissed him on the cheek.

"Thank you, for helping me out of the water." Octavia told him.

Jasper all but drooled, "umm its no problem." He stuttered.

Finn roled his eyes at him and got up, walking over to the lake examining something red on the floor.

"Here," Octavia said to Bellamy, handing him the cloth. "That needs cleaning up." She said, gesturing to Clarke's leg.

"No, it's fine," Clarke protested. "we need to get to Mount Weather."

Bellamy starred at her for a few moments and then said. "You can't go anywhere until, your leg is cleaned up. You should know that, your mother is the head of medical."

She sighed, and held her hand out for the cloth. He hesitated for a moment and then handed it over. Everyone had wondered off, and it was just them. She swallowed and began cleaning her leg. She felt a jolt of pain, as she moved the cloth over the bite.

Bellamy watched her quietly for a few minutes and then. "I'm sorry about earlier," he said, sincerely.

Clarke clenched her teeth together, and carried on cleaning her leg. Once it was clean she dropped the cloth to the floor, she looked over at Bellamy who was still shirtless and that reminded her. She looked around her, looking for her clothes. He saw her looking, and picked up her pile of clothes from somewhere behind him, and handed it to her silently. She slowly stood up and gritted her teeth as a flash of pain rushed up her leg. She pulled her pants on slowly, being carful.

She was on the floor again, tying up her boots when Bellamy came and sat next to her.

"We are leaving now. Are you going to be okay to walk?" He asked.

"Yeah I will be fine," she said. He started to stand but Clarke reached out to stop him. "I just wanted to say thank you, for helping me earlier." She told him.

He stayed there for a moment, starring at her and then nodded, he climbed gracefully to his feet. She rose to her feet slowly, clenching her teeth together, as the pain in her leg intensified. She walked slowly over to where the others were stood.

There was a fast running river between them and Mount Weather. Clarke was sat under a tree, feeling frustrated while she waited for the others to come up with an idea, to get them to the other side. She listened to the others as they threw ideas back and forth. Clarke blew out a breath and looked up at the sky, it was light blue with stars showing, the moon was also visible and then she saw the thick green vines hanging from the trees and that gave her an idea.

"Hey!" She shouted, getting there attention. "We could tie the vines," she pointed to the vines hanging from the trees. "Together and use it to swing to the otherside." She finished.

"That is a great idea." Finn said, as he ran up to a tree close to the edge and grabbed a vine.

Clarke got to her feet and went over to help him.

Not long after Clarke made the suggestion, they had enough vines tied together, to safely swing across.

"Who wants to go first?"Finn asked.

Jasper looked at Octavia, Clarke noticed and then he slowly lifted his hand.

Finn held the vine out to him, grinning.

Jasper climbed the small rock and took the vine off of Finn. Finn took a step back, indicating for Jasper to go ahead. Jasper looked down at all of them, fear showing on his face.

"You can do it, Jasper!" Monty shouted, smiling up at his friend.

"Yeah, Jasper!" Octavia shouted.

Jasper swallowed visibly and then he jumped on the vine with a yell. He yelled the whole way to the otherside and then he dropped off of the vine and stumbled a few steps, before he found his balance again. Finn caught the vine as it swung back.

"You did it Jasper!" Monty shouted, throwing his arm up into the air.

Jasper started pounding his fists into the air, and Clarke laughed at him.

He walked over to the tree line and picked up a rusted metal sign, that read Mount Weather. "WE MADE IT! MOUNT WEATHER!" He shouted, holding the sign in the air.

Everyone shouted back at him and Bellamy jumped up, onto the small rock and took hold of the vine. "We made it to Mount Weather," Clarke thought to herself. "We're on the Ground." Feeling relieved. Clarke's relief was short lived though. Out of nowhere something flew past them, with a whooshing sound. Something hit Jasper clear off his feet. Octavia screamed, and Clarke heart sank in her chest and then began beating very fast. Jasper was pushed up against a tree, a long spear was sticking out of his chest. Clarke's hands fisted at her sides, as she quickly looked around them. Bellamy was suddenly next to Octavia holding onto her arms.

"Who threw that!" Bellamy, shouted, looking around frantically.

Finn ran over to a large boulder and crept behind it. "Quickly get behind here!" Finn shouted.

Clarke ran to him and bent down behind it, her pulse was pounding in her ears. They all stayed behind the boulder, waiting for something else to happen. Clarke's breath stalled in her chest as she realised.

"We're not alone." She told them.

"Thats impossible the last grounder, died on the Ark." Finn said, his eyes darting around them.

"He obviously wasn't the last." Octavia said, absently.

"We need to run. Octavia don't let go of me, okay?" Bellamy said, looking intently at Octavia.

She just nodded.

Monty made a sound of protest but Finn just took hold of his arm and ran, out from behind the boulder. Bellamy ran out, next with Octavia close at his side. Clarke ran then, as fast as she could, with her leg screaming in protest. When she caught up with the others she saw Octavia, being dragged to her feet by Bellamy.

Monty pulled his arm free of Finns hold and stepped back. "We can't leave, Jasper." He told them, his voice thick with emotion.

"Monty I'm sor- Finn started to say but Clarke interrupted him.

"He's right, we can't leave him." Clarke said, crossing her arms across her chest.

"There is no way I'm going back." Bellamy said.

Octavia shrugged his arm off and walked toward Monty. "Shes right, Bell," Octavia said. "We need to go back."

He groaned. "Its too dangerous, Octavia." He said slowly.

"Not as dangerous as standing here out in the open." Monty said.

Everyone looked around, the forest was very eerie. The sun was setting and the sky was shot through with bits of red. It was going to get dark soon.

"Lets go." Clarke said. This time no one protested.

Once they got there, Clarke rushed to the edge. She stopped dead in her tracks, her stomach dropped. Monty ran past her and she heard his gasp.

"Hes gone!" Clarke shouted, feeling dizzy. "The Grounders took him!"
