"There you are. I've been looking for you." Bellamy's body blocks the sun just enough for me to open my eyes without being blinded. "Hi. I left a note." He laughs holding up the sheet of paper with my note on it. "Yeah that just says going out." I let out a small laugh "yeah I guess I should've put more in there."

He laughs stuffing the note back in his pocket. "but this spot has the best sunrise and I didn't want to miss it...or wake you up.'' I flip my sketch book up at him "see." He moves to sit next to me taking the sketch book "Wow. Where did you get orange paint?"

"Lincoln taught me how to make paints from certain plants and berries." I reach for the bowl next to me showing him. "See, pretty cool huh." He smiles staring down at the bowl "You're pretty amazing you know that." He looks down at the painting in his hands "and I think I know what we can decorate our walls with."

I reach over brushing one of his curls to one side of his forehead. "I love you Bell." He moves his glance from the painting to me smiling. "I love you too." We stare at one another for a good while before he breaks the silence. "Oh yeah I almost forgot why I came over here in the first place." He gets up from his spot then reaches down to help me up. Once I'm standing he leads me out towards the lake that's in front of us.

He has us both stand at the edge of the water then moves down to where he's on one knee. I give him a confused look but he holds up his hand explaining "So I know I didn't exactly give you the type of proposal you deserved, but I'm going to make it up to you."

"but Bell...we're already married." I say laughing

"which means I know you're going to say yes." he gives me his ever so famous smirk

"Clarke Griffin. We've been through so much together, you've been by my side since day one. I can't tell you how thankful I am for that. Even when I acted like an obnoxious ass you still stood by me. Granted the first day we met I kinda hated you and found you annoying...and just wow I truly wanted to strangle you like you just got on my nerves so much it was crazy."

"This is you're romantic speech to get me to marry you?" I give him an amused look making him laugh

"Uh yeah right...back on track. Despite all that...I thought you were the most beautiful girl i'd ever seen. I never thought that you'd be my best friend but here you are. You make me a better person Clarke and we've both come a long way together...So with this ring. I promise to love you, protect you, fight beside you and cherish you forever. So Clarke, my love. Will you marry me?"

I don't hold back any tears as I smile down at him "Yes. A thousand times yes." His smile gets even bigger as he puts the ring on my finger. "Where did you get this?!" I stare down at the ring in awe. It's so beautiful. It's the perfect size for me and the silver stands out in the sun, but my favorite thing are the tiny three blue crystals perfectly placed inside the metal across the top. I've never seen something so beautiful. "Lincoln helped me a lot. Oh and uh..." He feels around in his pocket pulling out another ring. "I have one too." He hands it to me "wanna do the honers" I nod excitedly putting the ring on his finger. Nothing has felt so right. Both of us stare down at our rings side by side. "I love you Clarke."

"I love you too Bell."

"No forget it." I walk past Roan dodging his hand going for my arm. "I'll find another way in."

"This is the only way in. Clarke if you want to find Ares this is the only way." I grip onto my hand protecting what he wants. "Clarke that ring is the only bargaining chip we have. They won't smuggle us in unless we give them something of worth." There's no way in hell he's taking this ring off my finger. This is all I have left of him. "We'll find something else. There has to be something else or worth that we can find."

"We're running out of time there's nothing. Smuggling in one fugitive is a lot but two...that costs a fortune. We need that ring."

"No! This is all I have left of him okay!" My voice catches in my throat as I let out a sob. "You can have anything just not this. Please Roan." He stares down at the ground then moves over to me. He doesn't look like he'll take it by force so I stay were I am. "This is your mission not mine. I just agreed to help. If want to turn back now and forget this whole thing great I don't care. I'm not going to stop you but whatever choice you make now will determine if we move forward or not."

I stare down at the ring sitting on my finger. Am I really about to give up the one thing I have left? I know I am. I let out a pain sigh looking at Roan. I can't watch myself take the ring off my finger. My hand suddenly feels cold as I hand the ring to Roan. He takes it from me quickly putting it in his pocket. "wait here."

He looks back at me for a brief second then disappears into the woods. I can't believe I did that. I shouldn't have done that. I can't even look down at my now naked finger. It hurts too much. I never had the heart to take Bellamy's ring and keep it for myself. I could't do that.

Roan returns wearing several rags hiding his normal muscular phasic. He looks like a common beggar everyone always passes on the streets.

"Here put these on." He tosses me a folded pair of rags. They smell like death, the last person who wore this probably did die in these. I hold my breath as I quickly put them on. I can sense Roan's eyes on me "I know that was a tough decision." I don't meet his gaze and instead flip up the hood.

"It just better have been worth it."I pull the hood farther down covering my face He looks away pulling his own hood over his head "trust me it will."
