Jasper and Miller entered the gates dragging in Orla by the arms. She has a large cut on her forehead and a slash wound on her leg.
"Clarke, we've caught another grounder" Miller announced.
Clarke came out of the dropship and rushed to Orla.
"She's hurt! Let go of her" Clarke cried. Miller sighed and let go of her.
"Hey, I'm Clarke. What's your name?" Clarke asked Orla as she kneeled down to examine her.
"Orla"
"That's a nice name. How did you get hurt?"
"I was out on my horse. I-i must have fell... I-i don't remember. I just I heard shouting and I thought they were coming for me and I-i panicked and tried to get away fast" Orla stammered tears slid down her face as she spoke.
"Hey hey don't get upset. It's okay. Why don't you come inside and I'll take a look that head and your leg" Clarke told Orla and she offered her a hand up.
"I-i don't want any trouble... I-i should go" Orla said.
"No way. Listen to me I am gonna take a look at that head and make sure everything is okay with you then when I know your okay you can go home" Clarke insisted and she held out her hand once again.
Orla took Clarke's hand hesitantly and allowed Clarke to pull her up.
"Clarke, your just gonna let her in?" Jasper questioned.
"She's hurt, Jasper. She needs to be checked over" Clarke replied then she put Orla's arm over her shoulders and helped her into the dropship.
Octavia is sat alone making a necklace with small beads. Luna walked over and sat with her.
Octavia looked up at her then went back to making the necklace.
"Hey Octavia, I see you've taken a liking to our craft area" Luna said with a smile.
"Yeah. It's beautiful" Octavia replied.
"Lincoln tells me you're not planning on staying" Luna told Octavia.
"No. I'm not but he had no right to tell you that" Octavia retorted as she placed the necklace down.
"You have a brother? So did I. I killed my own brother in a conclave then I fled and decided I was done with the killing" Luna informed Octavia.
"I could never kill my brother" Octavia said firmly.
"I thought the same but life changes us" Luna responded.
"So what you're saying my brothers better off without me?" Octavia questioned.
"No. Not exactly. Lincoln has told me your story, your brother has spent his whole life protecting you. If you're here alive and well. He can concentrate on surviving without the burden of a younger sister" Luna explained
"He needs me and I need him" Octavia argued.
"I understand, Octavia but think of Lincoln he gave up everything for you his people won't take him back. You are all he has now. If you go back to your people you'll have to leave him behind"
"My people will take him in. I know they will" Octavia stated.
"Perhaps but is that what he would want?" Luna asked.
"I don't know but I know I have to get back to my brother and my friends and make sure they're all okay"
"Think about Lincoln and his feelings" Luna told Octavia before leaving her alone.
"Think about floating yourself" Octavia muttered
Finn and Bellamy were stood under a small tunnel waiting for Zak.
"If this is a set up. We're screwed" Finn stated.
"When he gets us out of here we kill him" Bellamy said.
"So we kill the only person that helped us?" Finn questioned with a judgmental tone.
"Helped us because we caught him" Bellamy reminded Finn.
"Okay. Whatever. I just wanna get back to Clarke and Raven" Finn told Bellamy.
"You choose which one you wanna be with yet?" Bellamy asked with a smirk.
Finn chuckled lightly. "Being here has made me realise I love both of them but maybe I'm better of just friends with both of them. Raven's my family and I do love Clarke but I screwed up and she deserves better"
"I was kinda rooting for you and the princess, Spacewalker. No we're being honest guess I should tell you I screwed Raven" Bellamy admitted.
"When?" Finn asked.
"Before she got shot. When you and Clarke went missing"
Zak appeared. "You two ready?"
"Just hurry up and get us out of here" Bellamy told Zak.
Zak nodded. "This way"
Orla was sat up in the dropship. Clarke was sat in front of her talking with her.
"So your banished and you have no family" Clarke said.
"Yes. I have nobody" Orla told Clarke.
"Your Queen sounds cruel" Clarke stated. "She is" Orla agreed.
"I can't just send you back out there especially not if people are trying to kill you" Clarke announced.
"I can't stay here, Clarke. Your people hate me" Orla reminded Clarke.
"Let me deal with my people. Your staying here until tomorrow at least" Clarke insisted.
Raven limped into the dropship. "Let me guess she's staying?"
"For a little while" Clarke answered. Raven sighed then sat down.
Orla stood up. "I can just go-"
"No. Sit down. Raven, if we form this truce chances are we will become friends with some of the grounders better starting early than late" Clarke said.
"I guess so" Raven mumbled. Orla sat down.
Ontari is sat on the bed staring at Murphy who is sat in the corner with a bleeding nose.
"I lost my temper but you should never speak if Queen Nia in that way again"
"She stole you from your parents what do you care?" Murphy asked.
"She is my master. I will obey her" Ontari told Murphy.
"So what you're just gonna spend your life being her bitch? You tell me I'm weak I think you're the weak one" Murphy retorted and he got to his feet.
"Your not afraid of me" Ontari realised.
"No. I'm not" Murphy confirmed.
"Your brave. Very brave" Ontari whispered as she stepped closer to Murphy.
"I'm not brave. Just selfish" Murphy corrected Ontari.
"Either way. I like it" Ontari said and she placed a hand on Murphy's chest.
Murphy glanced down at her hand then back up to her face.
Ontari reached up and wiped the blood from his nose.
Murphy opened his mouth to speak but was cut off by Ontari's lips on his. He tried to pull back but she moved her hands to his back and dug her nails in.
"Ontari... I" Murphy began but he was cut off by Ontari ripping his shirt off.
"Look I don't wanna-"
Ontari threw her top off and pinned Murphy to the bed.
Murphy tried to sit up but Ontari pushed him back down and climbed on top of him.
"Stop" Murphy said and he tried to push her off. Ontari grabbed his wrists and pinned them to the bed and began kissing him again.
Murphy sat up abruptly and Ontari hit the floor.
"I said no damn it!" Murphy snapped.
"You bastard" Ontari hissed then she pinned Murphy down once again.
Ontari dragged her nails down Murphy's chest cutting him.
"Your gonna regret that" Ontari told Murphy then she moved her hands down and undid the zip.
Murphy dug his nails into his palms and kept his eyes shut as Ontari pulled off his jeans.
Zak, Bellamy and Finn were stood just outside of Polis.
"Okay. Now we go our separate ways" Bellamy announced and he and Finn both glanced at Zak.
"I wish that were true" Zak mumbled before pulling his sword out.
"Put the knife down" Finn snapped.
"Bellamy if you come willingly i'll let Finn go" Zak told Bellamy.
"There's two of us and one of you" Bellamy stated.
"That's right" Zak said then he swung his sword at Bellamy and stabbed him in the leg. Bellamy fell to the ground in pain just as Zak pulled the sword out.
"Bellamy" Finn yelled and he ran forward.
Zak smacked Finn over the head with the handle of his sword knocking him out.
"Why?" Bellamy groaned.
"I'm just surviving, Bellamy. I'll let him live, he'll wake up with a sore head and find his way back home" Zak replied then he pulled rope out of his pocket and tied Bellamy's hands together.
"Why are you taking me?" Bellamy asked as he bit his lip.
"It's my orders. Murphy told her about you and Finn. Queen Nia decided you would prove useful in Azgeda. She told me to kill Finn" Zak explained as he began dragging Bellamy through the woods leaving Finn behind unconscious.
"Your disobeying her by not killing, Finn. Shows you don't agree why don't you just let me go and run away?" Bellamy questioned.
"My mother begged me not to. She died saving queen Nia from a warrior seeking revenge from an execution. As my mother died she made me promise to obey the Queen. I'm honouring her wish" Zak responded.
Bellamy yelled out in pain and held his leg.
"I'll help you walk. Come on. The Queen won't kill you she'll keep you alive" Zak informed Bellamy and he pulled Bellamy to his feet and put an arm around him.
"If you untied me it might actually help" Bellamy grunted.
"I can't. You might run away" Zak stated.
"And I might die" Bellamy retorted.
"You won't. Just fight through the pain we'll be there soon enough" Zak said and he continued pulling Bellamy through the woods.
Murphy is sat on Ontari's bed alone. His shirt is still off and he has some burn marks as well as scratches on his torso. His lip has a large cut on it and his hair is matted. He has bite marks on his collarbone and shoulder blades.
There's a soft knock on the door. Murphy looked up at the door then back to the bed.
Echo entered the room and glanced at Murphy. Her eyes widened in shock.
"What did she do to you?" Echo asked then she sat on the bed next to Murphy.
"I don't wanna be here anymore" Murphy mumbled.
Echo reached up to stroke his cheek. "Tell me what she did"
"I can't. I don't want to talk about it, okay? I just need to get the hell out of here" Murphy snapped.
"Did she torture you?" Echo asked.
Murphy nodded. Echo glanced at the claw marks and bite marks and realised what Ontari had done.
Echo reached up and pulled Murphy into a hug. Murphy struggled at first but after a couple of seconds buried his face into Echo's shoulder.
"She's vile. Disgusting" Echo muttered as she hugged Murphy.
Murphy pulled away and looked at Echo. "I'm never gonna escape"
"You will. I will tell Ontari I need you to train through the night. You can come with me and sleep in my room. I have a small sofa and a spare blanket. If you'd like?"
"Please" Murphy said.
"I'll get you clean clothes too. Just stay here" Echo told Murphy.
"Stay here?" Murphy questioned with a hint of panic.
"She'll be gone for the next few hours. Your safe" Echo said and she patted his cheek before leaving the room.
Raven and Orla were sat in the dropship at opposite ends.
Raven stood up and walked to get water. Her leg gave way and she fell to the floor.
Orla got up and rushed to Raven. "Hey, are you okay?"
"Fine" Raven groaned and she tried to get to her feet by herself but failed.
Orla pulled Raven to her feet and sat her on a bunch of cushions then got a cup of water and passed it to her.
"Thank you" Raven mustered.
"Of course. Would you like me to get Clarke?" Orla asked.
"No. I don't want her to fuss over me" Raven said.
"Maybe you need some fussing. Your clearly in pain, Raven" Orla replied.
"I'm used to it" Raven told Orla.
"How did it happen?" Orla questioned.
"This guy Murphy shot me" Raven explained.
"Is he still among you?" Orla asked with a worried tone.
"No. He got banished then returned got us all sick. Tried to hang our friend and shot me then ran away. He's probably dead" Raven informed Orla.
"I'm so sorry. Why would he shoot you? I mean you seem so kind"
"Thanks. He didn't actually know it was me but he knew it was someone and still shot. He got hung when he was falsely accused of murder he blamed Bellamy for it because he kicked the stool from underneath him. He was trying to get Bellamy to hang himself but I got under and opened the door from there. Got shot in the process"
"That's horrible" Orla mumbled.
"Nothing like a little pain to remind you your alive" Raven said with a small smile.
Orla smiled back at her.
"So what's your story?" Raven asked Orla.
"I'm banished from my clan. All my family are dead" Orla told Raven.
"Why are you banished?"
"I stood up for my mother when my Queen insulted her. She beat me to an inch of my life and left me outside the gates. I've been on the run ever since. I got into a conflict with some Trikru who attempted to steal my belongings and they've been coming after me since"
"My god. That sounds awful" Raven stated.
"Yes it was. I assumed everyone was evil but meeting Clarke and you it's showed me that there are good people"
"Maybe you should stay here a while" Raven laughed.
Monty and River walked through the woods just as the sun went down. They approached a familiar part of the woods and saw a body.
"This is just outside polis" River whispered.
"Where?" Monty questioned.
"Nevermind. We must hurry" River insisted.
"Wait..." Monty approached the body and turned it over to see a familiar face.
Finn's eyes flickered open and he looked up at Monty staring down at him.
"Monty. Thank god" Finn mumbled then he hugged Monty. Monty grinned and hugged him back.
"Sorry to interrupt this reunion but this is Polis and it is surrounded with Trikru. We have to be fast" River stated.
Monty pulled Finn to his feet. "This is my friend, River. She saved my life we can trust her"
"I'm Finn"
River shook his hand. "You seen Bellamy?" Finn asked.
"Isn't he at home with the others?" Monty retorted.
"We had a battle. Clarke, Jasper and Raven found a way to burn the grounders. Bellamy and I were outside when they shut the dropship doors. We got caught and brought to the grounders. An azgeda spy, Zak helped us escape then he stabbed Bellamy in the leg and knocked me out" Finn informed Monty.
"You've been with the grounders?" Monty questioned.
"We met the commander" Finn told Monty.
"You met Heda?" River said shocked. Finn nodded.
They heard a rustle nearby. "Let's go now" Monty said.
The three nodded in agreement and began running through the woods.
Zak dragged Bellamy into Queen Nia's throne room. Queen Nia was sat on the throne with Echo at her side.
"Ah. This must be Bellamy" Queen Nia said. "Yes, Ai reina" Zak replied.
Bellamy looked up at Queen Nia then looked at Echo.
Echo looked Bellamy up and down and noticed his wound.
"Ai Reina, he's hurt. Shall I take him to the healer?" Echo asked.
"Yes. Go. Bring him back in the morning it is late. Zak help Echo" Queen Nia ordered.
Echo untied Bellamy's hands and both Echo and Zak took one of Bellamy's arms and led him out of the throne room.
"Bring him to my room" Echo told Zak. "He needs the healer" Zak protested.
"I'll deal with his wound. The healers are rough and I assume he saw his friend die already"
"I spared the other one" Zak admitted.
"If Nia finds out you will be killed" Echo reminded Zak.
"I know but he was innocent" Zak said before taking Bellamy into Echo's room.
"You can go now" Echo told Zak. Zak nodded then left.
Echo dragged Bellamy to her bed and lay him down.
"Why are you helping me?" Bellamy asked as Echo pulled his boots and jeans off.
"If you go to the healer they will keep you in there till morning. Nia will come for you first thing and you'll have no time to get a story straight" Echo explained as she pulled a small sewing kit out of a drawer.
"What story?" Bellamy grunted as Echo began to stitch his leg.
"Well I assume you won't want to tell Nia that Zak let your friend go. He did help you after all" Echo said.
"He stabbed me and brought me here. I owe him nothing" Bellamy snapped.
"He's good. He has a kind heart" Echo told Bellamy as she continued to stitch.
"If he had a kind heart he would have let me go home" Bellamy argued.
"He had to-"
"Honour his mother? Yeah he told me" Bellamy interjected.
Echo finished stitching Bellamy then she opened a drawer and grabbed a pair of baggy men jeans and a cream coloured t-shirt.
"Why you got guys clothes?" Bellamy asked confused.
"I train men and boys all the time. I keep spares" Echo replied and she threw the clothes to Bellamy.
Bellamy pulled on the baggy jeans then he pulled his top off and replaced it with the shirt.
Murphy walked into the room in just a towel. "That bathtub is legendary. Bellamy! Shit"
"Murphy?!" Bellamy yelled. "Shh" Echo hissed.
"What is he doing here?" Murphy yelped. and he tried to cover himself with Echo's curtains.
Echo threw him a black shirt and some black jeans. Murphy looked at Echo blushing slightly before she threw him a pair of black boxers.
Bellamy stared at the marks burned into Murphy's chest and the claw and bite marks.
"I don't bite. That was Ontari" Echo told Bellamy.
"You two together?" Bellamy asked Echo with a glance at Murphy.
"Jok no" Echo said quickly. Murphy took this as an opportunity to get dressed.
"Murphy is taking the sofa and the spare blanket. The only place left is the bed unless you want the floor with no blanket" Echo informed Bellamy.
"Share the bed with you?" Bellamy questioned.
"Well I am not sleeping on the floor in my own room" Echo said.
Murphy threw his towel to Echo who threw it out the door before shutting it.
"Harsh" Murphy laughed. Echo rolled her eyes at Murphy.
Murphy lay on the sofa and pulled the blanket over himself.
Bellamy glanced at the floor then up to the pillows at the top of the bed. When Echo was stitching him up he already felt how comfortable the bed was. The four poster bed Lexa had given him creaked and had springs sticking out of the mattress. His leg still ached badly and lying on the cold hard floor wouldn't be helpful at all.
"What the hell" Bellamy muttered before going up to the top of the bed.
"I won't touch you" Echo told Bellamy. Bellamy nodded then he lifted the duvet and went under it. He fell asleep almost as soon as his head hit the pillow.
"You know he's probably gonna kill me, right?" Murphy said to Echo.
"I won't let that happen" Echo reassured Murphy.
"Thanks for being there for me" Murphy thanked Echo.
"That's what... friends are for" Echo told Murphy.
"Friends. Wow. I'm friends with a grounder? Never saw that coming" Murphy rambled.
Echo laughed then she blew out the candles and crawled into her bed carefully so she didn't touch Bellamy.
"Night, Echo" Murphy mumbled.
"Night, Murphy" Echo responded.
