**Clarke**
God, I was so stupid! Why was I such an idiot? My head was right, Bellamy's a womanizer, instead I followed my heart and it lead my to heartbreak- again. Crying is all I have left to do, exiting camp was one of the worst ideas I've ever had. They're grounders here. This is just like a death wish. I'm such a mess! Kicking the biggest rock I can find doesn't help at all. All it gives me is a swollen toe and more screams of pain and hurt. Not looking back I know how far I am from camp, the sun has set pretty quickly. Blackness is everywhere, I hold my hand in front of my face to guide me but I can't even see it. Cracks and snaps of twigs makes me jump. I'm turning around as I walk to see if anyone is following me. Freezing on the spot the sound of more twigs snapping makes my heart stop. Efficiently, I grip my hand to my mouth to make my little breathing as silent as possible. Erupts of cries try to escape my mouth but I try to hold them in. Who could be out here? A grounder? Someone from camp? Murphy? The hairs on the back of my neck tingle as I hear the breathing off someone else. Closing my eyes, I fall onto a tree. Slowly, my back slides down it and just like that I give up. Useless. Powerless. Tears and moans are set free for everyone to hear. I'm so lost and confused with everything. Then I feel the presence of someone else sitting next to
me.

"The brave princess is scared, what a sight." The voice in the darkness chuckles.

Instantly, I'm paralyzed, Instantly, I feel dead. I think to myself. 'I have become of death.' Because I know who this person is. Someone so dangerous, someone who has tried to kill me before and has many reasons to still do it. We're in a dark forest and I don't think Bellamy's coming to save me now. Maybe not ever. My throat clenches as I try to say the name. The name that has so many troublesome links to it. I can't help it but I'm terrified. "Murphy."

**Bellamy**
"We are not shutting those gates until Clarke is here safe and sound!" I shout at some boy tying to close the gates while the sun has set.

"What if she never comes back. She might even be dead already." He replies.

And I feel like I've lost it. When I stride right over to him and take him down face on. After the clash my clenched knuckles sting. That's when I realize - I've lost it. "These gates stay open until Clarke's back got it?"

The dreaded silence tells me that they've got it. I know I've really screwed up with Clarke. If only she would of let me speak we wouldn't be in this position. No, I shouldn't blame Clarke it's my fault. She wanted me and I thought differently. I thought she didn't want everyone to think of her as a weakling. They would of if I said we were an item. Protecting her was what I was trying to do.

I stomp past everyone, including the horrendous stares. Guilt is a pain.

"You know you really hurt her." Finn snarks from behind me.

I turn around and I stop myself from emptying his gums of teeth. I cock my head to the side and try to laugh. "That's funny because I didn't sleep with her. Then sleep with another girl the next night." I exclaimed.

"You would of." Finn takes more steps towards me. I try to hide my guilt and worry for Clarke with my bravery. "If anything happens to her out there. We all know who's fault it is. And if something does you didn't just screw stuff up with Clarke. You screwed up with everyone else!"

My voice rages. "I know I screwed up with Clarke!" I rub my eyes to get rid of the tears. My voice lowers. "And god almighty I am an idiot to do so."

"We can't just let her be there alone." Finn tells me.

"Obviously, we won't."

"What are we gonna do?" He asks stupidly.

A hint of triumph fills me body. "I'm gonna save her."
