Author's note:

Hello hello! When I started this story I was going to keep it all in Eve's perspective but alas... I realized that this episode needed an outsiders perspective. I hope I did it well! It's a little choppy but I hope you'll overlook that!

I've also actually finished this story, I'm just figuring out chapter lengths and writing it out better so I'll probably start updating faster!

Disclaimer: I own nothing the 100 related blah blah blah except Eve is my original character!

Anyway enjoy guys! xx

Eve's POV

I leaned back on the makeshift table Bellamy had in his tent while his lips moved expertly over mine. Every so often either he or I would pull away a bit to catch our breath between our feverish kisses. My hands were moving from his shoulders up to the back of his head while his hands on my waist pulled me in closer. I could feel him hard against my lower abdomen, dangerously close to where I wanted him the most. But before I let myself get carried away I put a hand on his chest and pushed him back, trying to detach our lips.

"Wait... mmm... wait."

At my words he pulled back. Our breathing was erratic as I felt my feet touch the floor again. I shook the haze out of my head as he looked down at me in worry.

"What? You okay?"

I shook my head at his concern.

"Yeah I just..." I sighed before pulling my hands down from his neck to his hard pectorals, keeping eye contact, "I thought I heard something."

Before he could say anything, his tent flap was pulled back and I felt him instantly move away from me. Clarke looked between us before facing Bellamy.

"The Council's given me coordinates to a supply bunker. I'm going out to find it soon so..."

Bellamy had been avoiding the dropship since Raven had established a video connection with the Ark with parts she'd found from her pod and the dropship.

"Yeah. I'll come with you just... give me a few minutes."

I finally looked up to see Clarke nodding at him and then looking back at me before she left the tent. There was a moment of silence before I spoke.

"You think she knows?"

Bellamy moved to grab his pack before answering.

"Let's hope not."

I frowned at his flippant remark.

"What's that suppose to mean?"

I had tried to keep the anger out of my voice but it didn't work.

"Eve..."

He sighed, running his hand over his face, before looking at me. A weary look crossed over his face before he continued.

"I came down here for Octavia. Not for a relationship. I don't-"

"Bellamy let's go!" Clarke's voice sounded, impatiently.

I looked away from him, the words he didn't say echoed in my mind. You are nothing.

"Go. I should go too, and check on Finn anyway."

I moved to leave the tent but stopped at the exit. Turning around I sighed.

"Hey. Be careful out there okay?"

He looked surprise but relieved that I had dropped the previous conversation and nodded.

"I will."

I looked back outside to where Clarke was filling her bottle with water.

"And take care of Clarke. I don't think I can lose another person I care about."

I said the last part so softly I wasn't sure he'd heard me. I ducked out before he could respond, not catching the guilty look on his face.

Clarke's POV

Bellamy and I had finally made it to the bunker. But while it looked as if it hadn't been touched since the war there didn't seem to be any useful supplies besides some blankets.

"Great. They sent us on a wild goose chase. This place has nothing!" He angrily kicked a barrel of water, making it tip over.

Bellamy had been acting weird the whole way. First he had stopped to take an unnecessarily large amount of rations, saying that we may get lost and that we didn't know how long we'd actually be gone. Then every time I brought up Jaha or the Ark he would tense up, more than usual. I knew that he wasn't excited for the second dropship to land but he had to know he couldn't avoid Jaha forever. And then there was scene with Eve. They had definitely looked comfortable when I had interrupted them earlier...

Suddenly I heard him say "Oh my god."

Walking over to him I looked at what he was surveying. Guns. There were guns hidden in the bottom of the barrels filled with water.

Eve's POV

Back at camp almost everyone was experiencing sign of delusions or paranoia. It almost seemed as if they were high on something. I surveyed the camp again and noticed the empty pouches of nuts and berries we had been preparing for the winter that was coming. The berries! Quickly I took the box that they were being stashed in and brought it back to the dropship to hide it under the table I had littered with medical supplies. I had just tucked it away when the curtain was pushed back and Finn walked in with a confused look on his face.

"What the hell is going on out there? Why did Monty just burst through my tent asking about how to change something about the moon and the tide?"

I sighed and told him about the hallucinogenic berries that everyone had eaten. He shook his head before giving me some good news.

"Raven's out there now, rounding up everyone. We need to keep an eye on them so they don't try to hurt themselves or each other."

I agreed and followed him out of the dropship, not noticing Octavia slipping inside behind us.

Clarke's POV

"You need to practice more Clarke."

"No, " I put down the gun and tried to be practical, "We need to talk about this Bellamy. Guns. Where are we going to keep them, who's going to have access to them?"

"I'm sure you'll figure that out."

I frowned, "Me? What are you..." I finally pieced together the clues. Why he had agreed to come on this trip with me, taking the large amount of rations and his skittish attitude.

"You're gonna run. To escape Jaha and the others from the Ark. Bellamy-"

"I don't have a choice Clarke. The Ark will be here soon."

"So you're just gonna leave Octavia?!"

"Octavia hates me, she'll be fine."

"You don't know what-"

"I shot the Chancellor! They're gonna kill me Clarke. Best case scenario they lock me up and I'll be grounded for the rest of my life and there's no way in hell I'm giving Jaha the satisfaction."

I paused before thinking about Eve.

"Then what about Eve?"

His eyes snapped to mine immediately at the mention of her, "What about Eve?"

"Oh come on Bellamy, I'm not blind. I know you two... have a thing or-"

He shook his head at me and stepped away, "Just keep practicing your shot. I need to get some air." With that, he practically ran past me in his hurry to leave.

A few minutes later I moved to follow him but instead I felt something hard hit me in the back of my head and I crumpled to the ground.

When I woke up, it was quiet. I got up quickly and winced. Bringing my hand to the back of my neck I noticed a small amount of blood on my fingers. Who had attacked me? I gripped the gun closer to me and ran outside to find Bellamy. When I did, I stopped at the scene in front of me. He was sitting against a tree, looking winded, while another kid from camp had a gun pointed at him.

"Dax put the gun down." I pointed mine at him as he whirled around.

"You should have stayed down there Clarke. I tried not to kill you. But here you are and Shumway said no witnesses."

I looked to Bellamy confused, "What the hell is he talking about?"

Bellamy sighed before responding, "Shumway set it up. He was the guard who gave me the gun to shoot the Chancellor in exchange for getting onto the dropship."

Dax lifted up his weapon again, "Walk away now Clarke, and I won't kill you."

I shook my head, "Put it down Dax."

"Your choice."

I pulled the trigger when it was clear he was not going to back down. However all that happened is a loud click as the gun was a dud. The water must have ruined it. Quickly I turned to dodge Dax's bullets behind a tree.

After a brief moment of hearing gunfire, I heard a grunt before turning to see Bellamy fighting Dax on the ground. They were punching each other before Dax gained an advantage and got on top of Bellamy, raining punches on his already bloody face. I hurriedly discharged a few bullets in the attempt to find dry ones but they all fell out.

"Shit!"

Looking back, Dax was now trying to suffocate Bellamy by pressing the gun against his throat. Bellamy was gagging, losing oxygen fast. I jumped out and moved to hit Dax with my gun, shouting.

"Get the hell off him!"

Unfortunately he easily deflected my shot and instead pushed the gun into my chest making me fall back and lose my breath. I expected him to pick up his gun and shoot me but instead I heard a choking noise. Dax stumbled backwards, while Bellamy crawled away from him. Dax was clutching his neck where blood was oozing out around an object that Bellamy had pushed into his neck. We were both breathing heavily as we watched Dax choke on his blood and die in front of us.

I looked away and sighed in relief as Bellamy made his way over to me, physically intact.

"You're okay."

Even though I didn't like Bellamy, I couldn't argue that we needed him. I thought he knew that which is why I was so surprised by his next words.

"No I'm not... My mother. If she knew what I'd done- who I am... She raised me to be better. To be good. But all I do is hurt people. I'm a monster."

I was shocked but quickly found my voice.

"Hey. You saved my life today and it's not the first time you've done that. You may be a total ass half the time but we need you. Octavia's alive today because you looked out for her, just like you've been doing here. Octavia needs you. I saw you pull Eve together after she found out her friend from the pod ship was dead. Eve needs you. We all need you Bellamy. None of us would have survived this long if it hadn't been for you."

I paused before continuing, "You can't run Bellamy. You have to come back. You have to face it."

"Like you faced your mom?"

I scowled and then I sighed, "You're right I don't want to face my mom. She killed my dad and let me hate Wells for thinking he did it. I don't wanna face any of it. All I think about everyday is how we're going to keep everyone alive."

I stilled, Bellamy and I were more alike than I had originally thought. There was a pause before Bellamy spoke again.

"Jaha is going to kill me when he comes down."

I shook my head. We wouldn't let that happen.

"We'll figure it out. You're not alone."

Eve's POV

Almost everyone was feeling the after affects of the hallucinogenic berries. I had just finished checking out the last person with symptoms and cleared them before we heard someone yell.

"He's gone! The Grounder is gone!"

Everyone began reeling from this unsettling news.

"How did he escape?"

"What if brings other Grounders back?"

"They'll kill us all!"

"Or worse!"

Everyone began panicking before we heard a familiar, deep voice over the crowd.

"Let the Grounders come."

I couldn't see him because of the lack of light but I was relieved to hear Bellamy's voice and to see Clarke standing next to him. It had been almost an entire day since they'd left.

"We've been afraid of them for far too long. And why? Because of their knives and spears? I don't know about you but I'm tired of being afraid."

He dropped a bag in front of the fire and it opened to reveal guns. Guess that supply bunker wasn't a total waste.

Clarke spoke up. "These are weapons. Okay? Not toys. And we have to be prepared to give them up to The Guard when the dropship comes. But until then, they'll help keep us safe."

Her tone was firm as we all took in this new development. I was more curious about the injuries on Bellamy's face and knuckles as well as the light bruise on Clarke's face. However despite the bloody cuts and bruises decorating his face and neck, Bellamy's stance screamed authority as he addressed the camp a final time.

"Tomorrow we start training. If the Grounders come, we're gonna be ready to fight."

After I had briefly looked over Clarke and Bellamy, I was satisfied that they didn't have a concussion or any lingering head trauma. They briefly explained what had happened to me; Dax had followed them to the bunker and attacked them per the orders of someone on the Ark. I didn't know why but I had a strong feeling it was related to how Bellamy got on the dropship. I didn't want to push him for answers at the moment. For now Clarke had gone to check on Finn and left Bellamy and I in the dropship since I needed ot clean up his more severe wounds.

I instructed him to take off his jacket before I started gathering up some clean rags. Then I picked up a small cup of water and mixed in some medicinal herbs that helped fight infection. Turning to where Bellamy sat quietly with his eyes closed on the makeshift cot I frowned as I took in his bloody and bruised face littered with different size cuts before pulling up a small stool to sit in front of him.

"This might sting a little."

I dipped the edge of the rag into the medicinal water and started on cleaning him up, beginning with the deep cut on the bridge of his nose. He jerked away, wincing, as the herbs began working.

"I told you."

I smiled softly, but it fell as he finally opening his eyes. I hadn't realized how close we were to each other, until now. My breath came out slightly shaky as my knees bumped into his and I continued to wipe away the blood and dirt from his face. There was an air of tension building as my hand and the cloth worked lower and lower; over his lips, to his chin, down to jaw. Slowly wiping away the dirt and grime to show his naturally tanned skin underneath.

"So... guns?"

I felt his throat rumble with his response, "Yeah."

"You really think that's a good idea?"

He glanced down at me quickly while I just pushed his head back to continue wiping the underside of his jaw, heading for his neck.

"We need to protect ourselves. Bullets are faster than spears."

I looked over to the rifle that was sitting a few feet away and nodded.

"They travel approximately 340 meters per second."

He looked down at me in amusement as I threw the now dirty cloth into the bucket that held the rags I needed to clean.

I picked up another clean one and moved back to survey my work. Realizing I missed a speck of blood near his ear, I leaned in to clean it before speaking again.

"These kids don't know how to handle a gun."

"We're not going to just give them guns. We're going to make sure they know how to use them. I'm going to train them." He paused before continuing, "Why? ... Did you have someone else in mind?"

"Of course not."

There was no hesitation or wavering in my response. I pulled back from his neck and my breath hitched. Our faces were close, only a few centimeters apart. But what really caught my attention was the look in Bellamy's eyes at my reply. His eyes looked at me in almost disbelief at my determined response.

Before either one of us could say something, Clarke walked into the dropship.

"Bellamy, Jaha wants to talk to you. You ready?"

Bellamy nodded as I got up to put away the supplies. I could hear Bellamy putting on his jacket as Clarke spoke to me.

"Eve, can you grab Monty and Jasper? I think they're next to have their parents talk to them."

I nodded and turned around to feel a hand on my waist and a brief brush of lips on mine as Bellamy pulled back to step towards the door.

"Thanks Doc."

I could only nod again, feeling like one of those old school bobble head dolls. I caught the raised eyebrow glance on Clarke's face at Bellamy's action before she turned to follow Bellamy's exit from the dropship. I looked at the curtain as it swung back into place after they left, still somewhat frozen Bellamy's quick peck on my lips, in front of Clarke no less. Slightly confused I cleared my throat and turned around to finish clearing up my work station.
