"So, you slept with Finn, huh? That was pretty quick" Kacey stated, as she and Clarke looked in the river for the radio.
"Are you really going to slut shame me?" Clarke inquired.
"What? No, I'm not judging. Lots of people like intimate relations, I get it. It's all good and fun, until feelings get involved of course" Kacey went on.
"It's over between us" Clarke insisted.
"Just like that? You can turn your emotions of with a flip of a switch" Kacey said, raising an eyebrow.
"Do you really want to talk to me about feelings?" Clarke asked.
"What does that mean?" Kacey retorted.
"It's so obvious you have a crush on Bellamy. It's been clear from day one. You should stay away from him, he's bad news" Clarke advised her.
"Um, Earth to Clarke. I'm a murderer, I'm pretty bad news myself" Kacey explained, as Clarke was about to say something.
"Hey, I found it!" A voice announced from behind them, as they rushed over to them.
"Can you fix it?" Clarke asked, as Raven looked at the radio.
"Maybe. But it'll take half a day just to dry out the components to see what's broken" Raven admitted.
"Like I said, it's too late" Bellamy stated.
"Do you have any idea what you did? Do you even care?" Clarke asked, rushing over to him.
"You asked me to help. I helped" Bellamy replied, guilt clear on his face.
"Three hundred people are going to die today because of you" Clarke accused him.
"Hey, stop it. They're not going to die because of him, okay? It was their choice to kill their own people" Kacey reminded her, getting in between the two.
"Hold up. We don't have to talk to The Ark. We just have to let them know we're down here, right?" Raven queried.
"Yeah, but how do we do that with no radio?" Finn inquired, as Raven smirked at them.
Cheers went up, as they sent rockets up into the sky, hoping that the Ark would see, and take it as a sign they were alive.
"Do you think they can see them from up there?" Bellamy asked, standing beside her.
"I hope so…You know, if you had told me what you did, I wouldn't have told anyone" Kacey informed him.
"Why not?" He asked.
"We're friends, right? And friends keep each other's secrets" Kacey smiled at him.
"Yeah" Bellamy grinned back.
That's all it was, these feelings he had been having for her. It was just because he hadn't had a real friend in so long, not because he had feelings for someone six years younger than him, he thought to himself. Meanwhile, Kacey was thinking, that even though she did want more with Bellamy, she couldn't. Who would want someone who had killed three people, been locked up in solitary for four years, and couldn't even bare human contact, she sighed.
Later the night, Kacey heard someone approaching her while she was sleeping.
"Kacey?" She heard Bellamy exclaim.
"You know one of these days I'll get 8 hours sleep" Kacey sighed, turning to look at him.
"Is this where you've been sleeping?" Bellamy frowned.
"People don't exactly want to share a tent with a murderer" She explained.
Bellamy couldn't help but feel like an idiot. He had been sleeping in his large, warm tent while Kacey had been out there, probably half frozen to death. He shook his head, deciding they could talk about it later.
"Octavia's missing" Bellamy announced.
"What?! Since when?" Kacey cried, standing up, now alert.
"I don't know. She followed me earlier from camp, but I don't think she ever came back" Bellamy went on, clearly worried.
"Okay, well let's check again. We should tell Clarke, she might know" Kacey suggested, as they ran off.
"Guys, guys. Come here!" A voice shouted, as they were preparing to look for Octavia.
"What is that?" Kacey questioned, seeing something shimmering falling from the sky.
"They didn't work. They didn't see the flares" Raven realised.
"A meteor shower tells you that?" Bellamy inquired.
"It's not a meteor shower, it's a funeral. Hundreds of bodies being returned to the Earth from The Ark. This is what it looks like from the other side. They didn't get our message" Clarke explained, as Kacey felt sad.
She had no love for most people on the Ark, but they weren't all bad. It was a horrible way to go, anyway.
"This is all because of you!" Raven cried, lunging at him, as Finn held her back.
"I helped you find the radio" Bellamy retorted.
"Yeah, after you jacked it from my pod and trashed it!" Raven spat out, as Kacey went to Bellamy's side, feeling protective.
"Yeah, he knows. Now has to live with it" Clarke glared at him.
"Guys, come on! Octavia is still missing out there, anything could be happening to her right now" Kacey warned them all.
"All I know is that my sister is out there and I'm gonna find her. You coming or what? Let's move out" Bellamy insisted, as Kacey followed him.
They hadn't gone that far before one of the men shouted out to them.
"Look! Over here! Right there. You see it?" He told them, pointing to what look like a belt in a bush down a hill.
Without thinking, Kacey started to descend downhill, desperate to see if Octavia was okay. She was her closet friend, and had never rejected her after what she had done. However, she hadn't realised how slippery the grass was, and slipped. She was about to fall down the steep cliff, when she felt a strong arm wrap around her waist. A moment later, she was being pulled back up the hill. She turned to see it was Bellamy who was holding her.
"Thanks, guess I wasn't thinking" Kacey mumbled, flashing him a grateful smile.
Bellamy returned this, as Kacey looked down to where his arm was still wrapped around his waist. He quickly pulled away, a small blush on his cheeks. Finn and Jasper had noticed this interaction, giving each other a look.
"Rope" Bellamy announced, as someone handed him a thin rope.
"What are you doing?" Finn asked.
"We need the rope to get back up. Flashlight…It's hers!" Bellamy exclaimed, as he got to the bush, picking up the belt.
"I'm going all the way down" Bellamy announced, as Kacey quickly followed.
They jumped down into what looked like some sort of trench. Kacey was surprised that it was Jasper who followed them down first.
"You know I'm starting to see why Octavia likes you" Kacey smirked, nudging him.
"Someone else was here" Bellamy stated, leaning down and finding blood and footprints.
"The prints are deeper going that way. He was carrying her" Finn informed them.
"If they took her, she's alive. Like when they took me" Jasper clarified.
"We'll find her" Kacey promised Bellamy, who looked absolutely terrified.
After a little while, they came to a clearing, their eyes widening when they saw numerous skeletons lined up on trees.
"I don't speak Grounder. But I'm pretty sure this means keep out" Finn gasped.
"Who knew you were such a coward, Finn? Oh wait, I did" Kacey glared at him.
Lots of the boys started to back away, saying how crazy it was to keep going on.
"Go back if you want. My sister, my responsibility" Bellamy stated, as he bravely walked through.
"I'd walk into hell to find her" Jasper exclaimed, as Kacey looked at him proudly.
He was pretty brave, she had to admit. He seemed to have changed a lot since coming to the ground.
"I think we just did" Finn retorted, as she rolled her eyes.
"Why don't you head on back then to Raven…or wait, is it Clarke? Which one this week?" Kacey asked him, giving him a smirk.
