“ Zek, what's going on?” Cried out raven as she stared at Finn being holstered into the guards shoulder and up into the upper floors of the dropship.

“ What are they doing with Finn?” She ranged looking panicky“ Make them sto–” “ Shut up.” I muttered before she could finish as I stared at her with as much anger as I could muster towards her.

She paused surprised at my tone and apparent anger.

I felt Bellamy walk inside followed by Clarke and Octavia.

“ Ezekiel, what's going on?” Asked Bellamy watching as Finn disappeared into the upper floors with a curious look.

“ Finn was captured by grounders while outside the walls, of which I had told everyone over and over again to not leave without express permission from me or the guard captain.” I muttered monotonous causing him to frown.

Clarke walked over next to Octavia looking unsure what to do at this.

“ That doesn't explain you dragging him as if he was a prisoner!” exclaimed raven angered at my words.

“ Yeah that's the thing, he is a prisoner starting from today until his punishment is settled.” I told her as I took off my jacket and weapons attached to it.

“ What?! Why?!” Shouted out raven before she tried walking up towards me, she was stopped by a blade to the neck by Octavia immediately though.

“ Cool it.” Octavia muttered looking menacingly at the girl.

“ Okay let's all just calm down...” Muttered Clarke as she walked between O and Raven.

Ignoring that altercation I responded to her question.

“ For a plethora of reasons raven, the one being the most prevalent being that I'm tired of overlooking his wrongdoings and endangerment of the 100.” I softly said taking a sit in one of the boxes containing food rations.

“ Endangerment? You're just mad that unlike everyone else in this place he isn't one of your lackeys!” Raven shouted back heat in her words.

To that I went quiet as I stared at the woman, I had known that something like this would happen. Raven was logical and understanding most of the time but when it concerned that boy Finn she lost her mind.

I had thought that I'd be able to slowly chip at their relationship, let her see how much of a loose cannon the boy was and hopefully she'd break up with him.

But even then I knew that she'd care for the boy so I had thought that maybe if I pushed Finn into the deep end enough he'd push Raven and even Clarke away by himself.

But now, I didn't have the energy or the care for that, Finn was a loose end that needed to be cut off.

“ Do you really believe that?” I asked her with an unnerving chuckle followed as I shook my head.

“ You've had it for Finn since you've taken command, everyone can see that Zek...” She muttered.

“ Yes I have!” I said my voice bordering shouting.“ When everyone else is doing their part in ensuring that we aren't killed by grounders in our sleep he is going about either flirting with Clarke, pining for her or trying to get her attention!”

“ That wouldn't be a problem really if he actually took up a weapon and trained like everyone else so that when needed he can defend not only himself but others too but noooo!, he has to be the rebel going around preaching peace and other convulated bullshit while his actions bring about the opposite!” I shouted ranting my own voice containing pent up emotions.

“ Raven, I care for you, but I'm done overlooking Finn's transgressions just because you're someone I consider my fucking friend.” I told her calmly this time, my emotions settling down.

I could see tears threatening to fall from her cheeks as she stared at me.

“ One of these days you'll have to realise that Finn isn't inlove with you anymore, just accept that and move on for your sake.” I added breathing in a excess of air before breathing out.

Everyone had their eyes on me quiet, even the guards on the door and I could also see that there were people listening in outside.

Not minding the audience I looked at the others, Bellamy stayed quiet, Octavia stood ready with her sword unsheathed, Clarke looked down on the ground guiltily and Raven stared at me with a complex mic of emotions.

“ Finn will face judgement tommorow evening, I will put into account all his transgressions and make a verdict.” I told them.

“ H-he hasn't done anything wrong....” Raven said, the strength in her voice weakened.

“ *Sigh* Finn has disobeyed my orders countless times, invaded grounder territory when explicitly told not to, endangered the lives of 5 of our people, again disobeyed my orders not to leave the walls which caused his capture.” I told raven and everyone else that might have been listening, I would again tell the others outside this tommorow when it was time for Finn's trial and punishment.

“ Now those aren't enough for me to put him through any harsh punishment except imprisonment.” I told her, this caused her to pause, a glimmer of hope on h r eyes as she stared at me with tears staining her cheeks.

“ But sadly for him that is not all his transgressions...” I told her causing her to look at me betrayed.“ Finn was captured by grounders and not only did he give out information partaining to the security and safety of our people which by itself is enough for me to put his head on the line but he also traded something of great importance to the grounders in exchange for them to let him live.”

And immediately as I said that ravens eyes bulged in understanding and guilt.

‘.....so it really was you.’

Now I'll admit that a part of me still wanted to believe that raven wasn't the one to give the fruit to Finn or tell him about it.

“ He stole from us, his own people and gave valuable Intel and resources to the enemy and for that he'll pay price.” And with that I stood, grabbed my gear and made way to get out of the dropship.

“ Before I forget, I call on a meeting after training, understood?” I asked turning my head towards the four.

“ Yes sir.” Spoke up Bellamy making me pause for a moment, he had never called me sir before.

Turning my head I made my way out.
