“ What is it?” I asked with an impassive stare.

“ Please....” She muttered, her voice low and her eyes glossy as if only need the slightest flutter for her to start bawling her eyes out.

“ What?” I asked with just a bit of curiousity.

“ Please find Finn.....you are the best tracker in the camp and you can take care of yourself out there so please I'm begging you!” She said in rapid succession as a tear actually fell from her cheek.

I frowned and actually looked contemplative, I could see that Clarke was also worried as much as she tried acting as if she had been over Finn, to some extent she had been moving on from him but I could still see that some feelings still lingered in her mind.

“ Wait, you can't actually be thinking of going out there...” Said Bellamy looking at me as if I was insane and just as he said that rain started pouring from the sky in troves before lighting claps followed.

Octavia hearing Bellamy turned and looked at me with frown.“ No, you can't!” She said probably already knowing I was gonna do it.

“ I don't have a choice here...” I muttered, yes I did but I was playing at the drama of this entire thing.

“ Yes you do! You can't go out there Zek, it's dangerous and what if grounders attack you or worse attacks us. We need you here especially now.” Octavia said making her valid points heard.

But seemingly as if that wasn't enough reason for me to stay Raven walked even close to me and grabbed me by my shoulder, tears drowning her cheeks as she pleaded.

Seeing this Octavia frowned, not at me but at the girl. Not at the contact but what she was begging me to do.

“ Fuck.” I muttered faking exasperation as I walked to my equipment laid on the table besides me and started gearing up.

“ Ezekiel!” Shouted Octavia frowning.

“ I can't just sit here while my men are out there probably dying or worse, if I'm lucky then I'll find find with them but if not....then I'm sorry.” I said saying the last part to raven who gained a semblance of hope if the smile she had wasn't an indicator.

Walking towards the entrance of the dropship I looked at the distance and saw a fucking tornado wrecking havoc a couple hundred miles away.

The others also saw this and frowned.

“ If I'm not back before that thing hits....close the doors and wait for the storm to pass.” I told them and just before I walked out Clarke grabbed me by the arm and kissed me in the cheek.

“ Huh?” I exclaimed actually surprised for a moment.

“ Be careful and please....don't die.” Was her reply.

Smiling at her I gave the others a brief nod and walked sprinting out of the walls sprinting towards the direction my ‘Fauna Perception’ pinged them being.

They weren't that far but due to their injuries they were slow.

So as I sprinyed through the forest my mind went back to why did I even agree to this.

Well the first reason was so I could gain Ravens trust and affection, I mean who wouldn't appreciate the person that saved ones most loved one?.

This would also come to play for when Finn inevitably fucked up just like in canon causing raven to dumb him. And so with all that she'd have no one to rely and pour all that affection she had of Finn to me, in some form.

Plus I wanted to hit that, by Octavia's passive reactions to girls throwing themselves at me I figured I could probably bring in some extras into our relationship with little problems involved.

I managed to get to the guys in under 20 minutes with my enhanced physical speed and my [Survival] skill granting me a boost in wilderness traversal speed.

They were limping through the muddy soil from the intensifying storm hitting us right now, I ran up to them and immediately as they heard me running towards them they raised their spears and surrounded the unconscious and downed Finn.

They held their spears while making as little sound as possible which wasn't needed at the fact that it was raining intensely but I happy at the fact that my training was working.

They even when bleeding and limping from arrows sticking out of their bodies and bandaged wounds but even through this they still held their weapons up ready to fight.

Immediately breaking out of the foliage they seemingly breathed in a sigh of relief and I saw a sudden mental weight leave them as they smiled looked a bit more relaxed.

“ Munroe! Report!” I said ordering a report from the girl who held at her abdomen in pain.

“ Grounders sir, we passed through clear grounder territory while chasing after Finn who even when we told him not to did it anyways, we were met with a dozen grounders and sustained wounds from arrows but we managed to kill 3 of them together but after a series of events Finn tried hiding into some underground cave not knowing that a grounder lay waiting there.” She said rapidly and then wheezed, al the while i was looking over Finn was was unconscious with a fucking knife on his chest.

“ The grounder stabbed him and was about to kill him but Kate and George were able to hold him back and knock him out, seeing Finn stabbed we grabbed him and tried running back to camp but our wounds slowed us down sir.” She finished as she leaned on a tree letting the rain drench her frame.

“ I see, can you walk?” I asked, framing my question to all of them and they all gave me an affirmative.

So I grabbed Finn carefully and held him in a princess carry before leading the hunters back to camp as quick as I could while keeping them close by me in case one of them suddenly succumbs to his wounds.
