It was nightfall now.

All we did was wait for any sight of the grounders. But there was none.

I hear running behind me as I turn with my bow and arrow ready to shoot.

"Woah." Bellamy raises his hands in surrender.

"What are you doing here, Bell?" I ask as I turn to face the front again and he crouches down beside me.

"Couldn't let you do this alone." He smirks as I laugh slightly.

"You know I can handle myself." I retort as he raises his gun, ready for any grounders.

"Maybe I'll need your help then." He tells me as we glance at each other. We both knew that was probably unlikely.

I turn my attention back to woods, knowing I couldn't get distracted right now.

"Where's my sister?" Bellamy asks to any of us in the fox hole.

"She left five minutes ago, didn't tell us where she was going."

"She didn't tell you?" Bellamy asks as he leans a little closer to me.

Suddenly I felt bad for lying to Bellamy, but I couldn't risk him leaving right now.

"No." I answer.

"She thinks she's a damn samurai." Griffiths speaks and I glare at him.

"You'd be surprised." I warn as I look back to the woods.

"You see anything?" Bellamy asks, quickly changing the subject.

"No, what the hell are they waiting for?" Monroe half yells, agitated that the grounders were keeping us waiting.

"The longer they keep us waiting the better, Raven's setting up a bomb, we need to keep them out as long as possible." Bellamy informs us.

"Hey! I spot one, no, two! Three! Four! There's too many!" I hear a voice through Bellamy's radio and suddenly gun shots are heard around us.

The others with me and Bellamy begin to shoot out of panic and fear.

I squint my eyes to get a better look into the forest and see nothing.

"Stop!" I shout in a hushed tone. They all stop firing their weapons as I grab the radio from Bellamy and push the button so everyone else can hear.

"It's a trap, their making us lose ammo for something that isn't there! Only shoot if you have someone in your aim." I tell them sternly.

I push the radio back to Bellamy as I stand to my feet to walk back to camp.

"Hey, where are you going?" My wrist is grabbed as I'm turned back to face Bellamy.
