as they carried another unfortunate soul out of the drop ship dropping the now dead girl to the side of the drop ship next to Derek.

"All right, show's over" Bellamy shouted, "back to your post" Anastasia stared at Bellamy, she could feel herself slowly losing control of her body as the virus took over, "got enough food in there? Water?" He asked her

"Yeah" she said adding with a nod, "some medicine might be nice" she added, causing a smile to float onto Bellamy's face

"I'll see what i can do" he responded lightheartedly, "Octavia! You okay?" He shouted at the drop ship, when he didn't receive a response he looked at Anastasia suspiciously, as he began walking towards the drop ship.

"Bellamy, wait" she called stopping him, "she's not in there" she said as she could see Bellamy getting more angry, "I sent her to see Lincoln" she added, "Look, if there's a cure, he has it" she tried to explain, "I didn't tell you because I knew you wouldn't let her go"

"Anything happens to her" he uttered with rage filling his face, "you and me are going to have problems" he said turning away towards the gate

"Bellamy! Bellamy!" She called after him but her voice was weak, before she knew it the camp was drove into a hysteria, as people started drawing guns on people as they started to show qualities of being sick. She rushed back into the drop ship picking up one of the guards,that came in, guns, running back out, pressing the trigger multiple times as the bullets shot into the air quieting the camp, "This is exactly what the grounders want, don't you see that?" She said walking off the ramp into the camp, "The don't have to kill us if we kill each other first" she said, as kid popped out of the crowd pointing the gun scaredy at Anastasia

"They won't have to kill us if we all catch the virus" he said the gun aimed at her, "Get back in the damn drop ship!" He screamed, as she placed her hands up in surrender before watching Bellamy come up on him grabbing the gun twisting it to knock him in the nose sending him backwards as Bellamy held onto the gun.

"Not to state the obvious, but your quarantine isn't working" Bellamy said, as the world became fuzzy to Anastasia her knees buckled and her feet became wobbly, she expected her hit the ground but instead she felt arms holding her as she looked to see Bellamy holding her,

"Bellamy" she pleaded, "you shouldn't have done that" she added her face sadden at the realization that Bellamy can contract this virus too, "I'm okay" she said for reassurance.

"No, you're not" he said shaking his head

"Octavia will come back with the cure" She answered him

"There is no cure" she heard Octavia voice thunder through the camp, "but the grounders don't use the sickness to kill"

"Really?" Bellamy questioned, "Tell that to them" he said nodding his head over to the bodies with Anastasia still in his arms.

"Bellamy, let me go, go to your sister" she pleaded,

"I warned you about seeing that grounder again" he reprimanded Octavia not acknowledging Anastasia pleas.

"Yeah?" Octavia opposed, "Well i have a warning for you, too" she said turning to the entire camp, "the grounders are coming" she said causing the camp to worry, "and they're attacking at first light" she added walking towards Bellamy, taking Anastasia away from him

"Come on" she said helping Anastasia walk, "I'll help you get to the drop ship"

"Your brothers an idiot" Anastasia cursed as Octavia helped her inside

"I know" she replied back.

"Here" Murphy said hopping out of his hammock, "she can take mine" Anastasia would've objected under any other circumstance but she was in no room to object as she slid into the hammock

"What else did Lincoln tell you?" She asked Octavia as Clarke rushed to Anastasia

"The virus doesn't last long" Octavia answered

"It's true" Murphy spoke up again, "I feel better"

"They need to stay hydrated" Anastasia turned to Clarke to tell her

"You need to stay hydrated" Clarke replied back to her, giving her a cup, Anastasia took a little sip, before pushing it away, "okay, them too, please?"

"It's okay, i'll do it" Clarke said taking the cup, "just rest"

"I'll help" Murphy said getting up to follow Clarke.

"You need to save yourselves" Anastasia told Octavia, "Take anyone healthy enough with you"

"If you think that's even a possibility, you don't know me at all" Octavia replied back to Anastasia as Finn came through the fabric looking for Clarke

"Look, at this rate, when the grounders get here, there won't be anyone left to fight back" Murphy said walking up to Finn,

"That's the point" Octavia retorted

"Then we slow them down" Finn said before walking out of the drop ship. Anastasia passed out soon after that.

Anastasia eyes fluttered open, as she looked to find herself in the drop ship stuck in the hammock she was put in by Octavia. She reached out to touch her lips overwhelmed by a tingling sensation, she could barely understand what time it was.

That didn't matter anymore when two guy brought in Bellamy. Anastasia wasn't sure at first, but just like that she knew, she no longer cared about herself jumping out of her hammock to reach her feet to the ground feeling uneasy and dropping next to Bellamy on her knees which was good enough for her to help him.

"Hey big brother" Octavia uttered wiping his mouth, "Anastasia, you shouldn't"

"I'm scared" Bellamy cut her off

"I won't let anything happen to you, i promise" Octavia replied,

"That's what I said to you the day you were born" Bellamy harshly let out, as his breathing became slow.

"I know" Octavia replied with a smile, "You told me a thousand times"

"I'm glad you're here" Bellamy said as Octavia gripped his hand

"Just get some rest now, ok?" Octavia said as Bellamy shed a tear before closing his eyes, Octavia turns towards Anastasia who just stared at her brother, hurt, "you should get rest too, Ana" she added

"This is because of me" Anastasia let out looking at him in despair, "If he didn't touch me, he would've been fine" she said as the guilt washed over her, noticing his sickly appearance.

"We both know that Bellamy wouldn't have let you fall" Octavia replied lending a hand on Anastasia shoulder, "plus, he was in contact with a lot of sick kids, he could have gotten it before you"

"I know, i know" Anastasia said frantically, "I know" she replied one more time slowly

"You should really lay down" Octavia told Anastasia, "he'll be fine, but you need to worry about yourself first"

"I'm fine" Anastasia retorted, "I feel better" she stated, "and you need a extra hand since Clarke is out"

"Fine" Octavia let up, "but if you feel sick or dizzy"

"I'll sit down" Anastasia added comforting her. Octavia let out a sigh before nodding to her, "can you get me water and a cloth?" She asked as Anastasia directed her eyes back to the passed out Bellamy, which had blood around his mouth from coughing it up a few minutes before he passed out. She soon received what she had asked for but the hand was rougher and covered in blood, she looked up to find Murphy holding it out.

"Here" he said pushing the water and a folded cloth towards her, "I don't bite" he added as Anastasia reluctantly took the water setting it down before reaching for the cloth before Murphy walked away from her.

She watched him scared he would snap back at her. Anastasia waited till Murphy was far away and near another kid on the other side, helping him, before she turned back to Bellamy.

She dipped the cloth into the water as she lightly gripped his head, brushing back his hair wiping the cloth on his mouth, just like she did a few nights before. She felt a smile crept onto her face as this was the first time in awhile she saw a peacefulness in Bellamy, he seemed content laying there as he was sleeping off the virus.

After she was done wiping off the blood, Anastasia found it hard to leave him, but the healer in her knew that there were others that needed her help. She kept telling herself that Bellamy would be okay, and she couldn't do anything, but she wish she could. Anastasia brushed her fingers through his hair one more time, feeling his forehead for his temperament before find the strength to stand up, heading over to give water to the conscious kids in the drop ship, giving glances to Bellamy, checking up on him every once and awhile.

"He'll be fine" she heard Murphy's voice said as she was checking up on Bellamy after giving a cup of water to a girl seated near the ladder, "He's strong"

"Yeah, well him making it will probably disappoint you" she scoffed out turning away from Bellamy, "He kicked the box from your feet, banished you" she stated pushing past him as she walked back to get another cup of water, she could hear Murphy's footsteps following her, "I mean if he dies, you will live, Clarke will make sure"

"Yeah" Murphy replied sympathetically, "but I mean nothing would ever be the same" He added breaking the cold silence he create when he agreed to his statement, "the camp needs Bellamy"

"We finally agree on something" Anastasia replied grabbing the newly filled cup walking over to another kid on the drop ship floor, "so you understand, that when i say if you even touch him I will kill you myself" she bit out meeting his face.

"Bellamy's really washing off on you" Murphy said jokingly, causing Anastasia to snap at him gripping his coat collar with one hand, as the water that was contained in the cup in her other hand shook falling onto the cup. Fear floated to Murphy's face as he stared at Anastasia's blue eyes, that no longer emulated innocences but coldness, "look, I'm sorry" he pleaded holding his hands up in defeat, "I promise, I won't touch him, I'm sorry" he fumbled out as he was shaking in fear. Anastasia suddenly realized what she was doing as her face lighted, realizing his grip on him.

"I'm sorry" she breathed out as her eye line feel to the floor

"I get it" Murphy replied, "You worried for Bellamy, not to mention you just got better" he said as Anastasia set the cup in her hand down on a counter nearby, "Listen, we got off on the wrong foot, but we're going to need to work together to help these sick kids, bygones?" He questioned holding out his hand, she looked down at his hand the still showed of his recent torture, the memories of the attack against her faded, as she gripped his hand, giving it two shakes, before uttering

"Bygones" as she let go, heading back to the water to fill the cup up again as most of the water sunk to the floor. The rest of the night, Murphy, Anastasia, and Octavia worked to help the sick kids feel the most comfortable as the virus with through them.

It was before dawn, that Clarke awoke from her slumber, getting a welcoming greeting when Anastasia kneeled by her giving her a cup of was as Clarke sat up.

"Are you okay?" She asked her, getting a quick nod while Clarke took a sip from the cup, "About what you said, Murphy, we do need extra fighters, now that most of them are sick, and he hasn't done anything sinister yet" Anastasia remarked causing Clarke to raise an eyebrow removing the cup from her lips.

"Change of heart?" Clarke questioned, looking and Anastasia who looked tired and sickly but other than that seemed fine.

"Something like that" Anastasia replied, "I snapped at him, last night, and he didn't try to do anything" she explained as her head dropped to the floor in embarrassment, "maybe he has changed"

"You snapped at him?" Clarke said in a bewildered tone, shocked.

"I can't explain it, I was stressed and I took my anger out on him" Anastasia replied, as Clarke read the room seeing Bellamy laid out by the drop ship doors. It clicked in her head, as she watched him fuss, sitting up.

"Well, I think your stressor is awake now" Clarke said as Anastasia head floated up watching Bellamy sit up as Murphy walked over to him, "and I think you should go, before he kills Murphy" she added as Anastasia sat up quickly rushing over to Bellamy. The closer she got, Anastasia saw Bellamy angrily reacting to Murphy as he tried to hand Bellamy a cup.

"If you're still here" He cursed out pointing at Murphy as Anastasia arrived laying a hand on Murphy's shoulder, gripping the cup and taking it

"Hey, i got this one" she said as Murphy walked away, Anastasia took a seat next to Bellamy holding out the cup

"Here" she said as he took it, Bellamy looked at her almost in adornment, glad that he survived and so did she. His eyes were wet, and the same bags that marked around Anastasia eyes hung on his. He couldn't bare to look at her sick appearance anymore, keeping his eyes straight.

"You feeling better" he asked her, his rough voice even scratchier than before, his voice also seemed stuck in his throat as the words like it was hard for him to get out.

"Yeah" Anastasia replied softly nodding, as Bellamy caught a quick glance before turning his head back.

"That good" he replied, "You seen Octavia?" He asked suddenly after

"She was up all night helping people" She replied nodding "yes" as a reply that she has seen her, "Murphy gave her a break" she added turning her face towards him

"You trust him now?" Bellamy scoffed at her in denial.

"Trust?" She questioned, "No" she said shaking her head, "but" she spoke up as Bellamy looked at her, "I do believe in second chances, though"

"It almost dawn" Bellamy breathed out looking towards the opening in the drop ship, "better get everyone inside, if we lock the doors, maybe the grounders will think we're not home"

"Not everyone is sick" Anastasia stated knowing that if everyone was to get in the drop ship, the unaffected would most likely get the virus.

"Sick is better than dead" Bellamy replied turning his head to Anastasia

"You don't think Finn and Jasper are gonna pull it off?" Clarke questioned coming closer to the duo.

"Do you?" Bellamy questioned

"I'll get everyone inside" Anastasia said standing up before Clarke answered,

"I'll help" Bellamy said as he began to stand up.

"No, you shouldn't rush it" Anastasia said holding out her hand as Clarke had already started to try to the rest of the people inside of the drop ship.

"Please, don't do this, Ana" he begged, "I'm fine"

"Bellamy, you were sick" Anastasia began

"Exactly I was sick" he emphasized, "don't baby me Ana"

"I'm not" she replied offended, "I'm caring for you"

"I'm going to help Clarke" Bellamy said pushing past her as she followed behind trying to stop him, Clarke had started getting the majority of the people inside when Bellamy and Anastasia showed up outside. Anastasia was trying to grip Bellamy's arm as she followed him. Her attention diverted when she heard a bomb across the forest looking as a smoke cloud rose up into the skyline.

"They did it" Clarke breathed

"I am become death, destroyer of words" Anastasia uttered remember reading the quote in one of her books about the nuclear war, she could feel Bellamy's eyes on her, "It's Oppenheimer" she explained, "the man who built the first...."

Bellamy cut her off "I know who Oppenheimer is"

After the smoke cleared, the people who could, started to get the camp back in order. Anastasia stayed with the rest of the sick kids while Bellamy ignored Anastasia commands to stay in the drop ship as he directed the work outside the camp.

Eventually most of camp was back out working, and now Anastasia was just focused on cleaning up and Murphy helped her knowing that he couldn't step out of the drop ship without being hurt.

"Ana!" She heard the desperate calls of Clarke as she turned around to see Finn carrying Raven blood smeared across her face, with Clarke standing in front.

"Here" Anastasia answered quickly pointing to the empty hammock, Finn rushed over setting her down in the hammock as Clarke came over on the other side, "She's going to be fine" Anastasia assured Finn. Anastasia placed her hand over Raven's forehead, as Clarke wiped her face down with a wet cloth, removing the blood, "You know I can't do anything, but Raven's strong this will pass through" Anastasia added removing her hand.

"Anastasia, i got this, you've been here all night and day" Clarke said nodding her head towards the opening of the drop ship, meaning that Anastasia should leave, "get some fresh air"

"Thanks" Anastasia replied with a smile, knowing of the triangle between Clarke, Finn and Raven.

Anastasia pushed past Finn, giving a lighthearted smile to Murphy before walking out of the drop ship. She took in the cool night air, as she felt the chill, watching the camp, as most of them seem had forgotten that not even a day ago they were puking their guts out. She walked past the glowing fire as her determined footsteps took her to the gate.

Anastasia opened the gate, making sure nobody was watching as she unlatched it, walking over to the side , as she looked down at the newly potted graves that the fallen laid in. She took a deep breath, feeling the air lunged out of her when she the saw the number of the graves, she lost 14 people, 14. The pressure was immense for her, as her heart squeezed inside her chest. Light flooded into her sight, as looked to see two guards walk out with Bellamy in front.

"You're outside the wall without a gun" Bellamy condemned her, as the two guards moved past hold torches as they stood on the perimeter.

"14 graves" she stated, keeping her eyes on the grounder.

"We need to talk about Murphy" Bellamy said

"He was right about the bridge" Anastasia added looking over to him for a spilt second

"We'll see" he replied, "Octavia said the mountain men are pissed" he added, "whatever that means" he shook his head

"I say it means we need as many soldiers as we can" she replied, causing Bellamy to scoff.

"So what" he bit back, "we have pardon power now?"

"It's hard running things" Anastasia replied remembering his comment awhile ago, as she walked passed him walking back inside not wanting to see the graves anymore.
