She ignores him, turning to face Bellamy. "You're going hunting right? Let me help."
Bellamy smirks at that. "You? Help hunt?"
She crosses her arms. "What's so funny? I can handle myself you know."
He rolls his eyes. "Fine. But you'll stay in my sight."
She rolls her eyes right back at him and mumbles. "You'd like that wouldn't you."
"Hmm?" He hums at her.
"Nothing." She says with a smile.
He sighs and tells Murphy to stay at camp. Atom, Bellamy and Skye grab a few others and go into the woods.
They're searching for a while but coming up short.
Skye turns to find Bellamy but he's nowhere to be seen.
"B-"
A hand clamps over her mouth, and she's pulled into darkness. It's a cave.
She wiggles free of her captor and turns around to find Bellamy with a smile on his face in the dim-lit alcove.
She slaps his chest. "Asshole."
"What? I thought you could handle yourself?" He says.
"I can-" He cuts her off by putting his hands on her waist and pushing her back against the cold rock wall.
"Bell-"
"Shhhh."
She stops speaking. He turns his head, and she does the same to see a few members of their hunting party walk past the cave entrance.
Once they're gone, he turns back to her, hands still on her waist. She's pressed against the wall.
"What are you doing?" She asks.
She shivers slightly at the fact that he is holding her. She shakes her head, clearing the thought.
He doesn't say anything. He just looks at her.
She's known this man for a few days and even though he's a complete douche, she can't deny the fact that her heart flutters whenever he looks at her.
"Bellamy, I swear to god."
He removes one of his hands from her waist and puts it under her jaw. Her mind flashes back to the day prior. In the water.
She holds direct eye contact. Her heart is pounding so loud. Why is she reacting this way? Why is he affecting her like this?
He brings his hand up to hold her cheek, thumb moving a strand of hair from her face.
She holds her breath. He moves a little closer. She can feel his breath on her face. He's breathing heavily. He inches closer. He glances at her lips.
Then...
He pulls away.
She stands there partially flustered and totally confused. "What the hell was that for?"
He smirks. "Payback for the waterfall."
With that, he holds out his hand. "Let's go."
She looks at him, her cheeks warm and red. She sighs and takes his hand. He leads her out of the cave.
She lets go of his hand. "I'm just... I'm gonna go back to camp."
He looks at her. "Aw. Come on."
"No. I'll find my way back." She walks back the direction they came from, sparing one last glance at him. His face unreadable.

She arrives back at camp in just enough time to catch Finn, Clarke and Wells. They tell her that they're leaving to go find some kind of red seaweed for Jasper.
She tags along, trying to not think about what happened in the cave.
She can't wrap her head around it. They don't like each other. Why does that keep happening? There is loads of tension between them and she doesn't know why.
She can't lie to herself. He is extremely attractive. If only he wasn't a cocky asshole.
The group make their way to the river with the snake creature. On the way there, Skye doesn't speak. Clarke and Wells get into a heated argument and Finn finds an old car that's half underground.
They get to the river and stand on the shore. No sign of the snake.
"So, what does this seaweed look like?" Clarke asks.
Wells looks around and spots some in the murky water. "Like that. Hey, that thing that bit Octavia, how big was it?"
"Big. We could rig this into some kind of a net. Find something to lower it into the water." Finn says, picking up some trash.
Skye gets tired of all the ideas and strolls into the water to grab a large chunk of the red seaweed.
"Or we could just do that." Finn says.
She walks back to the shore holding the cluster of algae, when a lot of squawking can be heard getting closer. The four look up and see a flock of birds coming in their direction. They duck.
They look back up and hear some kind of battle horn. The sky is turning a mustard yellow color with some kind of smoky fog headed straight for them.
"Run. Run!" Skye screams and the four run into the woods with the fast-moving fog directly behind them.
