TRIGGER WARNING FOR THIS CHAPTER: Abuse—it is mentioned in one sentence. This is the last chapter that will have a mention of abuse. I'm sorry for the heavy topic, that's just where the story went.

Back at Camp Jaha

Bellamy had followed Octavia's instructions. He went back into camp after he had given them an hour or so to move. A few people asked where he had been and if he had seen Clarke or Octavia, so he lied. If people had noticed that his sister was missing, he knew that they probably thought he was out looking for her. To cover the truth, he said that he found Octavia with Lincoln and that he hadn't seen Clarke. Many people from the Ark were worried about their unofficial leader. Bellamy assured them that she would be ok.

With the whole camp buzzing about Clarke being missing, Bellamy knew it was only a matter of time before Abby would approach him. Though he is a good liar and very tough, Abby still scares the shit out of him. If Clarke's life is in jeopardy, so is everyone else's.

The morning after his return, Bellamy is taking a walk around the camp. It's quiet, as most people are still asleep, so Bellamy is taking the time to just think. That is, until Raven runs up to him and interrupts his internal chatter.

"Where are they?" She is talking low as not to wake the entire camp, but her voice is still determined.

"What? Who?" Bellamy responds in confusion, his mind adjusting to hearing a voice other than that of his own thoughts.

"Octavia and Lincoln. I heard that you found them together and I need you to tell me where they are. Now." Raven is sounding impatient.

Bellamy is alarmed by the urgency in her voice, but then he remembers Raven telling him that Octavia kicked Lincoln out of Camp Jaha. "Is this because of Octavia kicking him out? Maybe they're reconciling."

At this point, Raven is furious. She looks around to make sure none of the other early-risers would be able to hear them, and then looks at her friend. "Do you know why she kicked him out, Bellamy? Listen to me, because last time in the medical bay you cut me off. Octavia didn't just force him to leave with a sword to his throat because of a little argument, she threw him out because he beat the crap out of her."

At this point, Bellamy feels lava pulsing through his veins and he is ready to tear Lincoln to pieces. Before he can get a word out, Raven continues.

"If she is out there staying with Lincoln, then she is potentially in more danger than if she were out there alone. That's why I need you to tell me where she is."

Bellamy looks at her and notices that she is just as angry and certainly more worried than he is. He decides to tell her the truth. "Raven, I lied to everybody. Octavia isn't with Lincoln, she's with Clarke." He tells her about why Clarke left, Octavia going after her, and their decision to stay away from camp for a little while longer. "You can't tell anybody though. Clarke needs time. And now that I know about Lincoln, it's clear that Octavia does too."

Raven is certainly less worried now that she knows the truth. "I won't tell anyone. I'm just glad that Octavia and Clarke have each other out there."

"Where exactly is 'there,' Ms. Reyes?"

Bellamy and Raven turn to face Abby, who is standing behind them with her arms crossed, looking like a mother bear whose cub is in danger. They probably should have talked somewhere else.
