She was jolted awake by a gentle hand on her shoulder giving her a little shake. Looking up she saw Jasper giving her a small smile and holding a hand out to help her up. Her lids were still heavy with sleep but she gratefully accepted his hand and let him pull her up. After muttering a quick 'Thank you' and sending him a slight smile she took a look around to see if the rest of the group was doing okay. Clarke and Finn weren't there but before she could question it they came out from behind a large bush.

"Alright, let's get going. We have another 20 minutes until we have to cross a river that is at the base of the mountain." Clarke informed us, but Rhea could sense a hint of a command. No one else seemed to notice, but her tone instantly put Rhea into a foul mood, honestly who did this kid think she is?

Her scowl towards Clarke instantly turned into a look of surprise when Jasper appeared out of nowhere beside her,

"Ladies first." He offered, extending his hand to direct her. Smiling softly she gave a swift nod and followed after the self appointed leaders of the group.

Every so often Rhea could hear slight movement that didn't match the groups steps and could see flickers of something out of the corner of her eye, that made her uneasy. She would look in the direction the movements seemed to be coming from but nothing would be there. After it continuing for majority of their walk, she felt the need to do a sweep of the forest so with a quick 'I'll be right back' to Jasper she walked towards the last spot she saw the movement.

She looked from tree to tree as she walked through the woods, and even up in the branches, but nothing really stood out to her. That is until she got to one tree, as she looked up into the branches she could have sworn that she saw a face looking back. Before she had the chance to react she heard Jasper shout with excitement. Taking one last look at the branches, she turned and jogged towards the sound not wanting to risk another mess up like the last one.

Rhea arrived at the river just in time to witness him yell,

"We are Apogee!", which sent a smile to her face and everyone else's.

The group was so excited that they made it this far, their shouts could have been heard throughout the entire forest, which made Rhea nervous but she didn't stop them from having their fun she just kept her eyes on the woods. Clarke was the next in line to swing across the river, but before she had the chance, Jasper grabbed their attention again.

"We did it!" He shouted, "Mount Weather!" In his hands was a sign from before the war, it was fairly worn but the words were clear as day, they had made it to their destination. Their excitement didn't last long though, before they could even blink a spear flew through the air, hitting Jasper square in the chest, sending him flying backwards into a tree. The sign falling helplessly to the ground. At first they were all stunned not quite understanding what just happened. Rhea was shell shocked, how was that possible? She had seen no one in the trees. Yet the fact that spears don't throw themselves shook her out of it, she knew that they were sitting ducks, whoever had hit Jasper at that distance was more than capable of getting them too if they just kept standing there.

"Get down, Get down!" Rhea shouted while the others tried to call for Jasper, hoping their friend was alive. Finn grabbed Clarke, while Monty had Octavia, all of them hiding behind the rocks they had been standing on. Rhea looked through the trees trying to see where the spear had come from. A spot in the woods stood out too her, narrowing her eyes she looked harder. What she saw made her choke on air, her eyes not leaving that spot. The worst part was, she wasn't just looking at a random spot in the woods anymore, she was looking at a human being.

"We are not alone." Clarke breathed out, panic dripping off of every word. Even as Clarke said this, something stopped Rhea from telling them, maybe it was fear she honestly couldn't tell, all she knew is that they needed to get out of there, and fast.

"Run." She ordered, not taking her eyes of the man in the woods, "Run!"

It didn't take long for basic human instincts of fight or flight to set in, causing them to take off to get away from whatever had killed Jasper. Rhea on the other hand, was running not only because she was terrified out of her mind, but because everything she had ever learned about Earth was completely incorrect. The person she saw was just as human as she was, but they had landed a spear in the middle of a kid's chest from 100 or more yards. She had never been trained to be prepared for that. Even so she made sure to stay at the back and keep her eyes on the trees around them to make sure no one was following, though based on how hard it was to notice the beings in the trees, she probably wouldn't even know they were there, no matter how hard she did try.

The sound of an agonizing scream echoed through the woods, making her come to a complete halt. Her heart sunk to the pit of her stomach as she realized where the scream was coming from. Jasper wasn't dead and they had left him behind. Without thinking she bolted back the way they came, hoping she could get to him in time. Hearing the others behind her made her push herself a little harder, she had to make sure it was safe before the others got there.

She halted at the edge of the forest making sure to stay out of sight, but no one was there. Dumb founded she looked from left to right trying to see where they might have gone but she was pulled from her search by the others coming up beside her.

"Stay in the trees" Rhea warned.

"He was right there" Finn stated, Monty followed with,

"Where is he?" Rhea could feel rage boiling inside of her after that question, making the fear that had been threatening to drive her crazy completely dissipate. They should have been prepared for this, and because they weren't Jasper was gone.

"They took him." Clarke stated, her eyes frantically looking along the river.

"We have to get back to camp, we need more people if we stand even the least bit of a chance against whatever or whoever took Jasper." Rhea informed them, knowing that the longer they took just standing there, the less likely there were going to see Jasper alive again. Clarke looked hesitant but nodded in agreement when she noticed that she didn't have anyone else on her side.

Rhea quickly set off towards camp not even sparing a glance at the rest of them. She didn't take the time to talk to the others or enjoy the beauty around her, nothing. It wasn't until they had been walking for around twenty minutes that she took a moment to see how they others were fairing. That's when she noticed Octavia walking at the back, clearly having some difficulty due to her injury. Rhea let the others pass and waited for Octavia to catch up too her, without even so much as a blink, she put her arm underneath of Octavia's and became her crutch again.

They continued like this until they weren't very far from camp, after having walked so far in silence Rhea hadn't expected the younger girl to say something.

"You know, he mentioned you before everything happened, you meant a lot too him." Octavia said while continuing to looking ahead. "He was a different person after he met you, happier." This time she braved a look at the Auburn haired woman that was acting as her crutch. She seemed to be looking for some sort of reaction, when she noticed that there was still a mask on Rhea's features she sighed and let the conversation drop, which Rhea was thankful for. The comments that Octavia said didn't fall on deaf ears though, Rhea had just chosen not to react in fear that it might give her feelings away. With everything else going on she didn't need that kind of drama on top of it.

The rest of the walk to Camp was done in complete silence, everyone still trying to process what they had just witnessed. Not feeling like going into camp just yet, Rhea decided to scout around the area some more so she shouted for Monty to take over crutch duty. He complied but Rhea could tell his mind was elsewhere and who could blame him, he did just watch his best friend get speared. Her mind started to wander as well as she watch Octavia and Monty walkaway towards the gate. One question, made her stop dead in her tracks, how were the going to live through this?

Shaking off the negative feelings she started to walk the perimeter of the camp, making sure to check for any good vantage points along the way. It also gave her time to breathe. Earth had seemed so peaceful from the ARK, but then again to the people of the ARK, no one had survived on Earth and the most dangerous thing was radiation. Not people throwing spears from 100 metres..

Taking a moment she stopped and listened to her surroundings, not far away was the sound of water but it was instantly forgotten when she remembered that Shumway had jammed her backpack with a bunch of items. Placing her bag down, she unzipped it. Sitting on top of everything inside was a gun case. She pulled the case out of the bag and placed it on the ground, making sure her pack was zipped up before she continued. The gun inside made the dark day slightly brighter, it made her feel more secure than before, like they had a fighting chance. She quickly checked the amount of ammo she had in the clip and then put it in the waist band of her pants, hiding it underneath of her shirt and jacket. She didn't want any of the 100 to get any bright ideas.

Perimeter duty would have lasted longer if she hadn't noticed Clarke and Wells leave the camp. Her breath caught when she noticed Bellamy and another boy not far behind them. Now wasn't the right time to open up that can of worms so she decided to head back into camp to see if there was anything that needed to be done. Upon entering she noticed that the rest of the 100 was working on a wall to protect the camp. Must have been Wells or Clarke's idea because there was no one else in Camp that would have thought of it.

The next few hours was spent cutting trees and dragging them into position, there was little progress, but Rhea hadn't expected much from some of the 100. They were pig headed and stubborn, and they acted as if the world owed them something. They had tough lives, so maybe they did earn a little bit of a breather, but they wouldn't be getting much of one if they were dead by the hands of people like the one that had speared Jasper. They were battled hardened and fearsome. This made Rhea push herself harder, she knew if she said anything to the kids that were slacking she would get back lash, especially because of the jacket she was wearing. The hate was just radiating off some of the kids in camp, they blamed her for their misfortune, but she didn't blame them. The rules on the ARK had taken a lot from everyone, but it had to be that way or the population would have gotten out of control and the air would have run out years ago.

Rhea continued to work until dark, that's when she heard them. The search party had returned with Clarke leading the charge directing Finn and Wells, the two of them carrying a broken looking Jasper. Not far behind them was Bellamy and the boy that went with him, carrying something in what looked like remnants of the parachute.

"Whose hungry?" Bellamy shouted with a smirk on his face, the 100 responded with shouts of excitement. This reaction made Bellamy look genuinely pleased with himself, a smirk evident on his face. Octavia looked at her brother with pride as he pulled her towards him, looking at the kids around him. That's when he saw her, the smirk leaving his face almost instantly.

Rhea's mind was reeling, she didn't finish thinking about what she would do when she came face to face with Bellamy. Now here she was, looking him straight in the eyes, a look of pure shock on his handsome features. Neither of them knew what to say or do, but both of them were aware of the weary looks that some of the 100 were giving them. Bellamy made a move to walk towards her but Rhea shook her head. She wasn't ready for the conversation that was bound to follow after this unexpected reunion. Giving him one last look she walked away.

She didn't know where she was going, but anywhere was better than being under the watchful eye of Bellamy Blake. She needed to get her thoughts in order. If Bellamy had come anywhere near her in the state she was in, she would have broken down right before his eyes. Which was something she couldn't do, especially considering her current orders were to kill him. She needed to be strong and unapproachable, a ghost. Which was going to be hard considering Bellamy knew her better than she would like to admit.

Trying to avoid anyone that might ask her questions she decided to climb onto the roof of the drop ship. She could have gone for a walk in the forest, but with the current situation at hand, she was sure that someone would notice her leave and potentially follow her. Besides, the view from the drop ship was to die for. After sneaking around camp she arrived at the ladder and swiftly climbed to the roof. Standing up at the top, she took a look around and breathed in the fresh air.

Looking around at the beauty of the Earth made her relax a bit, it almost made her forget about how dangerous it was. Laying down on the metal panels, she felt the breeze graze her skin. Thoughts of Bellamy plaguing her mind.

Rhea could feel Bellamy drawing shapes across her back as they laid together on her cot. Her head nuzzled against his chest.

"Rhea?" Bellamy questioned, hoping that Rhea was still awake. She grumbled in response causing him to let out an airy chuckle. "Where do you see yourself in 10 years?"

This question made Rhea lift her head to look at him, she noticed that his brows were furrowed, almost as if he was afraid of her answer, smiling gently she answered his question.

"Within the next 10 years, uhm," While thinking about her answer Earth came into view through the small window in her quarters.

"I want to be there." She said as she pointed her finger towards the window and Earth. Rhea breathed out as she returned to her original position and began drawing shapes on his chest, her eyes still resting on Earth. She concluded her answer with,

" Most of all, I want to do all of that with you." She knew her answer was corny but it was the truth.

Rhea could hear his heartbeat quicken as he let her answer really set in, his arm gently pulled her closer too him, giving her a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"What about you Bell? Where do you see yourself in 10 years?" Rhea questioned her eyes now focused on the current shape she was drawing.

Before he answered, Bellamy lifted her head so she would be looking at him.

"Wherever you are" He stated, his chocolate orbs filled with so much love and honesty that Rhea could feel her insides turn to mush.

"I love you Bellamy Blake" Rhea confessed. Her confession made her heart feel like it was going to pound out of her chest, they had never voiced those words to each other before, but she felt it was time. The expression on his face seemed to be one of a man in deep thought as he looked into her eyes. Rhea started to feel extremely nervous as he just looked at her, but it was soon gone when he uttered the words she had been waiting to hear her whole life.

"I love you, Rhea Ramone."

Rhea was brought from her memories by the sound of a commotion below. Quickly she wiped the tears on her face away and scooted closer to the edge of the roof to get a better view. The 100 had created a fire to cook the meat that Bellamy had brought. Realizing what he was making them do made her scowl with disappointment. They were removing their wrist bands for food. Bellamy and the kid from earlier were giving them no choice. Looking around she noticed other kids refusing to take their wrist bands off, risking starvation for the slight chance that they might see their family again. The scowl deepened as she continued to watch, then as if a light bulb went off, she remembered that Shumway had packed more than just a gun in her bag. Without one swift movement she had swung her pack onto her back and had moved towards the ladder. She was fairly certain that he would have given her some rations, in a way to make sure that she didn't die of starvation before she finished her mission.

After her feet hit the ground she drifted into the shadows, pulling her bag off she unzipped the zipper and rooted through it. She was happy to see six packs of rations sitting underneath of the gun case. Pulling them out she headed towards the kids sitting away from the fire, there weren't very many so she knew that she could give each of them a bag. Going to the smallest first she gave them a small smile and motioned for each of them to take a pack. Not wanting to make a big scene out of it, she put a finger to her lips to inform them to keep what she was doing between them. Some of them almost refused to take them from her just strictly based on the fact that she was a guard, but she insisted and their hungry bellies wouldn't let them keep fighting.

While she was handing on the last bag of rations a flicker of light dashed across her peripherals. Looking in it's direction she noticed torches in the woods, going away from camp. Curiosity took over Rhea, with one last smile at the kids she followed the lights, making sure she wasn't seen by whoever was up ahead. Staying in the trees she caught sight of who was holding the torches it was Bellamy's henchmen, with Bellamy in between the two and Atom directly beside him. Keeping quiet she focused on where they were going. They weren't very far from camp when they stopped but it was still far enough away to be dangerous.

Rhea watched as Bellamy took a torch from the boy to his left. Without any warning the pale boy launched himself at Atom catching him off guard. He started to wrap rope around Atom's wrists, when he finished the last knot began to hoist Atom up into the tree. She felt sick to her stomach, nothing about what was happening before her was right. She couldn't watch anymore, but Atom's voice made her stand her ground.

"Guys, you're not just gonna leave me here" Atom scoffed, with a hint of fear in his voice.

"No, Atom." Bellamy stated with a stern look on his face, "I won't be disobeyed" With that Bellamy walked away leaving Atom in the dark the two boys following close behind him. Rhea was quick to run to Atom's aid, throwing a knife where the ropes were tied, making him drop to the ground with a grunt. He seemed startled by her sudden appearance but muttered a 'thank you' anyway.

"Why did he string you up Atom?" Rhea questioned as she untied the rope from his wrists, she needed to know why Bellamy would do such a thing.

"I disobeyed him," Was the simple answer he gave, but Rhea raised her brow, clearly wanting more of a reason.

"He said no one was to touch Octavia. I couldn't resist." Atom said looking almost ashamed. Rhea put her hand on his shoulder and helped him get up.

"You might want to stay out of his way for tonight, but don't worry about him stringing you back up, I've got that handled." With a quick smile and a wink she followed the path Bellamy and his goons had gone, managing to catch up as dumb and dumber had left his side. She waited a minute, just watching him, before making her presence known. It appeared like Bellamy was looking for someone around camp, his eyes looking from face to face. Disappointment becoming more and more clear on his features the longer he didn't find whoever he was looking for.

He went to turn away towards his tent but Rhea was not about to let him get away with what he had done unscathed.

"Bellamy Blake, were you looking for me?" She questioned, still hiding in the shadows.

He turned quickly, obviously startled by her sudden appearance.

"Where are you?" He questioned, looking from left to right his eyes skimming past her each time. Taking a deep breath she stepped out from her hiding place with a scowl on her face.

"What is wrong with you? The grounders could kill him out there." Rhea growled whilst motioning in the direction of where she had left Atom.

"He disobeyed a direct order." Bellamy tried to explain, but Rhea was having none of it.

"That's not it Bellamy, so stop lying to yourself." Rhea stepped back into the shadows once more, using them to her advantage. "You've been lying to everyone since we landed on this planet, the question is, why?" She probed, as she stepped out of the shadows directly beside him, making him jolt at her sudden appearance.

"I'm lying? Does anyone down here know that you are the second in command below Shumway on the ARK?" Bellamy spat, his usually calm demeanor slipping away.

"No, they don't, because if they did I would be dead. But if that's what you want, I could go tell them right now." She stated as she started to walk back to camp. Before she got to far away she felt him pull her back.

"Why are you here Rhea?" Bellamy questioned. His eyes searching hers for some kind of answer to the mystery that surrounded her arrival. She didn't know what to tell him because the real reason she was there was not something one would just casually put into a conversation.

"Why I'm here isn't important." She stated intending on leaving this conversation before it went in a direction that she wasn't ready for, but Bellamy was having none of it.

"No, Rhea, don't walk away from me.." Bellamy demanded, which set Rhea off.

"Like you did too me?" She shouted, a painful expression flashed on her face for a split second. This was why she had wanted to avoid this conversation. She wasn't ready.

"You know what Bellamy, forget it. If this is how you want to lead these kids, be my guest, but I'm not staying to watch you fail." Ripping her arm from his grip she walked away, she didn't get very far before she heard his foot steps behind her.

"Rhea, please." Bellamy pleaded, "I need you to hear me out." The tone of his voice making her stop and slowly turn towards him.

"You have two minutes Blake, after that, I'm gone."

Rhea could have sworn she saw a flicker of hope in his eyes, but it was gone in a flash. Bellamy motioned for her to follow him to a log nearby so they could sit, but Rhea just stood there refusing to be close to him, the hurt from years ago like a black hole in her heart.

"I had to do it Rhea, I didn't deserve you." Bellamy stated after many moments of him just holding his head in his hands. "I mean, I was a freaking Janitor for crying out loud!" He roared making her jump slightly. Tears were starting to cloud her vision as she listened.

"The day everything happened I was just so broken, it was all my fault. I just couldn't pull you down with me, so I let you go." He braved looking up at her for the next part. " After walking away from you that day, I was never the same. It's like the warmth I felt was gone, I was just an empty shell, I still am." His face was filled with so much pain, but Rhea couldn't move, she wouldn't give in so easily.

"You told me once that we were in it for the long haul Bellamy, and then you just walked away. How could you walk away from someone you love? How could you knowingly hurt me so bad if you loved me?" Rhea questioned accusingly, her hatred stunning him into silence. She gave him a minute to respond before continuing.

"Don't worry Bellamy, you don't need to tell me, I already know the answer. I was just some piece of ass. You never loved me." Her heart breaking with every word she said, tears started to cover her cheeks, the need to get away started to overwhelm her. Before she made more of a fool out of her self she turned quickly and bolted towards the camp.

She could hear Bellamy yelling after her but she ignored his calls. She hastily wiped the tears off of her cheeks before she stepped into camp, and ran for where she knew Bellamy would not think to look for her, the roof of the drop ship. Swiftly climbing the ladder she managed to make it too the roof before Bellamy stepped into camp. She watched him for a moment, the look on his face almost frantic as he searched around the camp for her. She felt like an idiot, the words she said kept playing over in her head. It wasn't true, he had loved her once and she knew it but she had to convince herself that he hadn't if she was ever going to get over it. This world was not the right place to rekindle a broken romance.

Forcing herself away from the edge of the drop ship, she dropped her backpack onto the roof and sat down beside it. Tugging her jacket closer to her she laid down and used her backpack as a makeshift pillow. Her mind began to drift over the events that had happened over the passed few days. Before long her eyes drooped shut as she drifted into an unpleasant slumber.
