Violet stood to the side as she watch Bellamy and Murphy target practicing. Murphy's knife fell to the ground after he failed to get it to stick in the tree.
"It's that damn kid always messing with my head," the dark haired boy said making the Violet roll her eyes and mutter a small "Sure" under her breath.
"He's not gonna last much longer, better start thinking of a new excuse," Bellamy slightly mocked before winding his arm back and throwing his axe hard enough for it to instill into the tree. Violet shamelessly admired how sexy the man looked. "That's how it's done" he said, voice full of arrogance.
Atom and another kid walked towards the three, "We searched a half-mile all directions. No sign of Trina or Pascal."
"Visit your special tree when you were out there?" Murphy teased making Violet tilt her head in confusion.
"Atom took his punishment. Let it go," Bellamy ordered.
"Bell what punishment? What did he do?" Violet asked, completely confused about what the hell was going on.
"Its nothing Vi, we'll talk about it later," the boy replied making her huff in annoyance. Noticing this, Bellamy walked over to her and wrapped his arm around her waist pulling her into him. "I promise baby," he whispered in her ear sending a shiver down her spine and making her skin flush. He smirked and kissed her cheek, turning his attention back to Atom who started talking again.
"Could be grounders," he suggested.
Murphy of course took a chance to continue his teasing, "Yeah, or they could be in pound town. Lot of that going on recently," he smirked.
Ignoring Murphy, Atom continued "Look, Bellamy people are scared," he gestured to the loud moaning of the boy in the drop ship, "And that dying kid he's not helping the morale around here."
"Morale will go up when I find them more food," Bellamy reassured.
The other boy spoke up, "And what do we say when they ask about Trina and Pascal?"
"For now? Nothing. Its possible they're just lost. We'll keep an eye out for them when we go hunting later."
Murphy had his eyes on the drop ship, "Lets go kill something."
Stopping him from walking any further Bellamy responded, "You're not going. I need you to stay here. If the grounders are circling we can't leave this place unprotected.
Murphy nodded, "Fine. Somebody better tell goggle boy to keep it shut." Violet watched him fail again at getting his knife in the tree before making her way to the drop ship.

Violet followed Wells up the ladder hearing Monty say, "That would be a firm no." Immediately going to Jasper's side she looked down at the poor boy.
Clarke sighed, "My mother would know what to do."
"How's he doing?" Wells asked making the blonde immediately snap at him.
"How does it look like he's doing Wells?" she glared up at him.
"I'm just trying to help," he defended himself.
Violet and Finn glanced at each other noting the awkward tension between the two.
Clarke spoke up, "You wanna help? Hold him down." she motioned to Jasper.
Violet, Finn and Wells all did as told. Monty looked at Clarke worriedly, "I'm not gonna like this am I?"
✶✶✶
Violet, Monty, Finn, and Wells, were all holding a screaming Jasper down as Clarke tried to heal his wound.
"Hold him still! I need to cut away the infected flesh," Clarke yelled.
The door opened revealing an exasperated Octavia yelling "Stop it!" "You're killing him!" the tan girl said kneeling next to the boy.
"She's trying to save his life," Finn reassured the girl.
Unfortunately Bellamy had followed his sister to the room, "She can't"
Wells stood up and faced Bellamy, "Back off"
Clarke huffed, "We didn't drag him through miles of woods just to let him die."
"Kid's a goner. If you can't see that you're deluded." Bellamy so sweetly pointed out. "He's making people crazy."
"Sorry if Jasper's an inconvenience to you, but this isn't the ark. Down here every life matters."
"Take a look at him. He's a lost cause," the curly haired boy replied making his girlfriend scoff.
The room was silent for a moment before Clarke turned to Octavia. "Octavia, I've spent my whole life watching my mother heal people, if I say there's hope there's hope." Clarke tried to reassure the girl but was interrupted by the hot headed boy once more.
"This isn't about hope. Its about guts. You don't have the guts to make the hard choices. I do. He's been like this for three days, if he's not better by tomorrow, I'll kill him myself." He went towards the latter before turning back again, "Octavia, Vi, let's go."
His sister didn't even turn to look at him, "I'm staying here." The boy turned to his girlfriend with a raised brow. All she did was give him a disgusted look before turning back to the group, refusing to acknowledge him any more than that. Bellamy's face softened for a moment before nodding in understanding and distending down the ladder.
Monty interrupted the silence, "Power hungry, self serving, jackass. He doesn't care about anyone but himself." He glanced at Octavia and Violet, "No offence" Octavia just shook her head while Violet mumbled a "You're not wrong."
Finn agreed, "Yeah Bellamy is all that, but he also happens to be right."
✶✶✶
Violet caught up to Bellamy right before he left. "You're not killing him."
"Sweetheart-"
"Kill him and you lose me," with that she turned her back and walked away from him.
Bellamy's heart felt like it stopped when she spoke those words. The last thing he ever wanted was to lose his sister or his girl.
✶✶✶
The remaining criminals including Violet all made their way to the drop ship in a hurry.
"What's going on?" Monty asked a random girl.
"The air got thick everybody's skin started burning."
Octavia looked at the boy worriedly, "Monty my brothers out there."
"He'll be fine. We'll all be fine," he reassured her.
Violet came and sat down next to Octavia. "He's right O. Bellamy will be fine. He'll find shelter," the girl also tried to reassure her friend while putting her arms around her for a brief moment. Octavia nodded gratefully and hugged her back, happy that while the safety of her brother is unknown, she does know that her best friend is safe right next to her.

Bellamy had been asleep in a cave taking shelter from the fog when a scream woke him up. "No!" the 12 year old Charlotte screamed in her sleep.
"Charlotte, wake up." Bellamy shook the girl.
"I'm sorry," she whined.
He ignored the apology instead asking, "Does it happen often?" The girl sighed in reply. "What are you scared of?" Getting no response he continues, "You know what? It doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is what you do about it."
"But...I'm asleep," Charlotte says confused.
Bellamy explained, "Fears are fears. Slay your demons when you're awake, they won't be there to get you when you sleep."
Still confused she asks, "Yeah, but...how?
"You can't afford to be weak. Down here, weakness is death, fear is death." He continued, "Let me see that knife I gave you." Doing as told she held up the knife she was given.
Bellamy took it from her and held it up, "Now when you feel afraid you hold tight to that knife and say, 'Screw you. I'm not afraid.'" He handed the knife back to her.
Taking his advice, Charlotte help up the knife and quietly said, "Screw you. I'm not afraid." Bellamy gave her a look that said, you can do better than that. She said once more, this time with much more confidence, "Screw you. I'm not afraid." Bellamy smiled approvingly. "Slay your demons kid. Then you'll be able to sleep."
He had sat back against the cave wall when the girl spoke up again. "Can you tell me a story to help me fall asleep?"
He thought for a moment before replying, "Like what?"
"Tell me how you met Violet."
