As Raven's body dropped to the floor my eyes passively stared at her wide unbelieving eyes, the pain and hurt in them.
And all I could think about was how this came to be.
A fleeing Finn almost out of sight, Clarke rushed towards the body, she put her hand on top of the wound trying to stop the bleeding.
Before I could think though I was already walking forward, an arrow cocked on my bow as I aimed at the receding form of Finn.
And just as I let the arrow go a hand slightly pushed me off target.
" No!" Shouted out Clarke, her hand on mine having caused me to shoot off target.
I felt a pit forming just as she did, heat and bitter taste forming in my mouth and a frown that I didn't bother to hide.
I didn't look at her and simply looked on at the distance.
With my sense stat I could see that yes, I had hit him.
But not exactly where I had been aiming but at his shoulder instead of the head I was aiming for.
And just before I could pull another arrow Clarke's hand grabbed me again, a frown on her face with glitters of tears.
" Please don't do this Zek, you're better than this." She said with her eyes gazing at mine which only seemed to make me even angrier.
" He killed Raven." I stated trying by all means to give myself a reason to screw the feelings I had for the woman in front of me and simply kill Finn as I should have a long time ago.
" No he hasn't, not yet!" She muttered before staring behind her where 3 other campers, the medical practitioners were aiding and trying to help out Raven as much as their abilities could seeing them I could see that they had skill at least, but the wound was too deep, they wouldn't be able to do anything with this type of wound.
" She won't survive that." I told her.
" Not unless you help her, we both know you can help her Zek...." She said pushingly.
To her words, I looked at Raven slowly drowning in her blood staring into the sky with fearful acceptance.
" Sir." Spoke up, Miller." We can still catch him if we chase him right now." He said causing me to look at him and then at Clarke and then Raven whose life was dwindling fast.
" And why would I save her Clarke?." I asked her, my voice low staring at her eyes, I did not miss the flinch and her hand softening though." She pointed a gun at me and was fully willing to shoot me."
" You'll save her for the same reason you allowed Finn to walk away when he held her at knifepoint." She said and I paused.
She had a point.
I could let her die here and now and hunt down Finn right now, heck I could even kill him where I stood by simply controlling the flora in my range.
He still wasn't out of my range so that was doable but that wouldn't be satisfying enough, I wanted him to suffer that much was apparent but I wouldn't put my camp in danger to fulfill that, not anymore at least.
So now that I stare at Raven choking on her blood on the doorstep to death I feel my stomach twisting, my emotions which most of the time were tamed were doing summersaults.
No matter what after all, she was my friend.
But then again I should ask myself, am I gonna save her even after she pointed a gun at me?
" Get her into the dropship." I muttered lowly with my eyes closed, my feelings and logical thought processes at war with each other.
Immediately the medic trainees grabbed Raven and quickly ran to the ship.
" Sir, what about Finn?" Asked Bellamy with a frown.
To that, I stared at the distance and direction the boy was running towards.
" Send Charllote out to hunt him, I want him alive." I told him, his eyes immediately widened before he nodded and walked away.
I simply breathed in and looked at Clarke. The crowd was already dispersing and walking close to the dropship so not many would hear.
" This is the last time." I told her, my expression mute hiding the mess of thoughts in my head.
" What?" She asked unsure of what I was talking about.
" This is the last time I let my feelings for you and Raven dictate my actions, this is the last time I go lenient on you two because you are my friends and this is the last time I help either of you." I said and with each word, I saw something break inside her.
" But most of all, this is the last time I consider you my friend." After saying that I quickly walked off towards the dropship.
A second later I was over Raven, still alive which should have been impossible but since she took the fruits I could understand.
" Clear the room." I told everyone in the room.
The medics stood and nodded before being escorted by the guards outside leaving only myself in there.
So I opened my inventory, tapped into a section and brought out one plastic bottle filled with clear liquid.
Using [Appraisal] on it just to be sure of its details before I applied it.

Nodding at the effects I then stared at Raven who at this point had already passed out and sighed.
" Please don't make me regret this...." I thought as my heart prepared to do the last act of affection I had towards the girl.
So quickly I poured some of the liquid into Raven's wound, and then I opened her mouth and poured the remainder in.
I did not have to wait as immediately her wound started twitching as muscles grew and attached themselves, her wound closed within 10 seconds.
Now staring at her all that was left was for her to recover, I had a vitality potion/stamina potion that would do the thing but I didn't give it to her and instead walked out not looking back at her.
But just as I walked out I saw Bellamy and two other guards running towards me alongside Charlotte.
" What's going on?" I immediately asked as they got into range.
" It's...it's the grounders." One of the guards said causing me to frown.
My eyes snapped towards Charllote as I gave an inquisitive eye.
" The grounders.....they are marching an army towards us." Charlotte told me.
And immediately my blood ran cold, a frown adorned my face and my brain ran faster than normal in a muddled and cloudy mess.
" Fuck..." Was all I muttered.
