Somebody That We Used To Know

THE HELL WE WANT

Bellamy, Octavia, Clarke, Murphy and . . . Finn, just stepped inside of Camp Jaha. They were greeted by displeased Arkers, Abby among them. Clarke went to speak to her about what had happened, Finn going along with them and that was probably for the best. Bellamy would leave them to it. Murphy veered off and now it was just Bellamy and Octavia standing there. Bellamy's mind replayed the recent events, of what Finn had done. Of the people he had killed and the repercussions that would come of it.

He was pulled out of his thoughts when he felt one of the Guardsman take the gun from him, disallowing him any firearms. It was then that another figure approached them, evidently looking for Finn and to ensure that they had all returned. Raven was going to find out soon enough and Bellamy preferred she hear it from them, rather than a stranger. Besides, it would spare Clarke the conversation and well, he wasn't sure what sort of version Murphy would give.

"He's alive," Bellamy confirmed. Was Finn alright? No. Was he fine? Nope. But he was alive. "We need to talk," he told Raven. Bellamy glanced at Octavia. She had been enraged by what Finn had done -- even punched him in the face -- but if she wanted in on this conversation,, then they needed to be calm about it, and that was what Bellamy held in his gaze as he looked at his sister, before turning back to Raven.

Octavia knew what was to come--you didn't kill children and innocents without repercussions. She might not know the details, but she knew retaliation would be swift, and in the blood for blood way. It made her angry! SO bone deep angry! Both at Finn, and for Finn. Apart of her was afraid for him, because she knew what was coming--the other part of her couldn't forgive what happened enough to show signs that she was afraid. Which was why she just looked angry. Livid. Pissed.

He's killed innocents! Nyko's son! A peaceful village without warriors in it! Finn had gone in and just killed them! Murphy she had expected it from! Finn was a peace maker! . . . . now he was a war maker.

O stayed by her brother's side, even though she wanted to seek out Lincoln or Nyko and try to find out what was happening. How she could help. She knew Bellamy would need her now, and Raven would ask questions that he could not answer. She had to remember not to take this out on Raven--it was in no way her fault. It was Finn's. Only his--but they would all pay the price.

Raven tried to keep herself busy using Wick’s help to find another way of contacting any other ark survivors. But her heart wasn’t in it and she was finding Wick even more irritating that usual. Her mind was consumed by thoughts of Finn and the others, and her worry for them was preventing her from being useful in any way.

She heard the commotion outside knowing it meant the others were back with Finn. Raven went outside only seeing Bellamy and Octavia. Her heart sank. Something was wrong. She could feel it. The entire atmosphere was tense and everyone had a look of silent anger and sadness on their faces. Raven was missing something and she hated it. Every awful thought that Raven had while she waited for them to return flashed in her mind.

She couldn’t see Finn anywhere. What if they’d captured him, or worse? Not wanting to remain in the dark any longer she made a beeline for the pair, panic in each of her steps. "He's alive," Raven finally let out a breath she didn’t know she’d been holding. “Where is he? I don’t see him.” She said, looking around them. “What’s going on?” Raven asked, noticing the somber looks on both their faces too. Something happened out there; something bad and she felt almost reluctant to find out what.

Both of Raven's questions were completely valid ones. Yet not ones that could be given answers without the proper explanation. "Come with me," he told her, assuming Octavia would follow the same instructions. As she was still standing in their company, she was inevitably going to be a part of the conversation. He only hoped she could separate her emotions from it when talking about Finn. Bellamy wasn't at all condoning the guy's actions, but Raven was close to him. He knew how he would feel if anyone spoke badly about someone he cared about. Hell, he had shown how he reacted to such a thing.

He led the women to his tent, something he had still wanted set up at the side of camp -- unused to situating himself inside the actual ark. He stepped inside first, waiting for them to follow as he tried to figure out where to start. "He's in interrogation. There's gonna be an inquisition." Rightfully so after what happened. He didn't know how Raven was going to see all this, but Bellamy had witnessed Clarke's own reaction. So either way, it wasn't going to be good. "First thing you need to realize Raven, is that Finn is not the same person. This place, it changed us, all of us. And in this case, after the battle, Finn snapped." He needed Raven to be braced for it. While Bellamy wasn't justfying Finn's actions, there was no denying that he was not the same wannabe peace maker that he had initially been. He was different. Far more dark and disturbed.

O stayed silent. She was fuming! She was pissed! AND she was a little scared at what this was going to do to everything they had worked toward. Bellamy moved them to someplace that was less public but it only made O want to speak up even more! She knew that Bellamy could break the news better but apart of her didn't think this was something that you could just gentle break to someone! HE'D KILLED PEOPLE! A lot of people! Innocent frightened people! Her friends! Lincoln's friends! Lincoln was dead, and the only way she had to thank him or honor his memory was by letting her friends kill his friends!

Bellamy was explaining that Finn wasn't the same and her head snapped toward him, her face as angry as she felt. O had hit him. She had punched Finn afterwards, but it wasn't enough. She should have . . . . . she wanted to . . . . . IT WASN'T ENOUGH! YOU DIDN'T KILL 18 PEOPLE AND GET TO BLAME ANYONE BUT YOURSELF! Her hands shook, but she looked away from them both while letting Bellamy explain more--though she doubted she'd stay quite for long.

Raven silently followed Bellamy to his tent, confusion and fear lining her face. This was serious then. If he needed to speak to her in private then it must be. All she wanted to do was find Finn and see that he was okay. With her own eyes, just to be sure. But apparently she couldn’t, not until Bellamy and Octavia explained what was happening. She tried to concentrate on her steps, to stop herself from thinking. And panicking. As they walked in Raven was prepared to demand what the hell was going on and why she couldn’t go see Finn, before Bellamy spoke. Every word he said only served to confuse her more. “Inquisition? What the hell are you talking about?” She couldn’t help but notice the obvious rage in Octavia’s face, and radiating from her body. Her panic grew.

Bellamy continued, and it was obvious in the way he spoke that he was trying to brace her for something. But she didn’t want that; she just wanted the truth. She knew as well as anyone what the ground had done to them, how much it changed them. But why was that relevant now? “And in this case, after the battle, Finn snapped." What the hell was that supposed to mean? “Snapped? What the hell happened out there Bellamy?” She needed answers and she didn’t have time to be babied. “Octavia?”

Bellamy wasn't one who often beat around the bush. He was blunt; direct. But in this particular case, he had felt the need to give a very small build up; a warning of sorts. Finn's actions would not go unpunished -- and Bellamy wasn't even thinking about the consequences from the Arkers. He was thinking more about Grounder retaliation. That, was going to be bad. "He came across a Grounder village, believing that Clarke was there." Though she wasn't. Obviously.

Him and Murphy had both been there and well, things had gotten ugly. They had gotten bad real fast. Bellamy could see Octavia from his peripheral vision, as she was practically trembling with anger. She had after all punched Finn after the fact. And it was for understandable reasons. The suspense had lasted enough. Bellamy just needed to blurt it out; come right out and say it. "He gathered up the civilians and . . . opened fire." Bellamy paused right there, letting at least that part sink in though knew he'd best get the rest of it out. Rip the bandage off in one go. "He killed 18 people, Raven. Men, women . . . children." One who had apparently been Lincoln's friends son, according to Octavia. He could see that the boy's death had really affected her. Bellamy stopped there, letting Raven process this, knowing it was alot but that was the story of their lives down here.

She was doing everything in her power to keep from snapping herself. Finn had ruined everything! He had been someone she would have trusted with things, but he had proven himself to be just another Arker trying to settle everything with a gun! When Raven looked to her, and called her name, O looked away feeling anger and rage. Not at Raven, but at Finn. She might not have gotten a long with Raven every step of the way, but they were friends. Which was why she wasn't taking this out of her.

Bellamy explained, and Octavia couldn't hold it back. He was softening the blow! "He rounded the village that Lincoln is form up, locked in the pin they kept animals in, and when they tried to escape he started shooting! Even Murphy was telling him ti was a bad idea! Instead he killed 18 innocents! They weren't warriors! They were farmers! Doctors! CHILDREN! And he killed them! He wasn't even sorry about it!" She knew this wasn't how Bellamy planned to tell her, so she shut off her words with a sudden sound and her fist balled. She knew what would come, but she didn't know what would come. Trikru would demand blood be paid with blood, but they had gotten Finn here. Which meant any chance of a truce was gone!
