After finding Jaspers blood splayed on the rocks, fresh, the group immediately went into panic mode and were on alert to everything and anything around them.

Finn had took lead and was directing everyone in the way he thought was the way to Jasper, Genesis trusted him mostly because he aced his Earth Skills class more so than anyone else.

"Hey, how do we know this is the right way?" Murphy called out amongst the silence. Only footsteps on the stones beneath them could be heard.

"We don't." Bellamy told him as the two trailed behind. "Spacewalker thinks he's a tracker."

"It's called 'cutting signs'. Fourth year Earth skills. He's good." Wells commented.

"You want to keep it down or should I paint a target on your backs?" Finn glared at the group for being so loud when they knew that there was a threat near to them.

Finn stopped in his tracks as he stared at a small twig attached to a tree, Genesis looked over his shoulder to see he was staring at droplets of blood that were splattering down onto a rock beneath it.

"Something tells me we're getting closer." Genesis shuddered at the thought they could be in serious danger.

"See? You're invisible." Bellamy told Wells as he watched Clarke and Finn look at each other in such a way.

"Bellamy-" Genesis was ready to tell him to shut up but her sentence was cut off when she and everyone heard moaning in the distance. "Is that Jasper?"

"Now would be a good time to take out that gun." Clarke told Bellamy without glancing at him.

Clarke and Finn led the way, everyone was trailing behind them in a crouched jog, desperate to stay hidden within the green shrubbery so they wouldn't be seen by the grounders and end up having the same fate as Jasper.

It was obvious they grew closer to where Jasper was as his groans became louder with each second. They emerged out of the trees and stopped bewildered at what was in front of them, they walked into an opening that had a moss filled tree in the centre, there was spears and sharp sticks impaled into the ground, they were clearly put there by someone, or something.

And attached to that tree, was Jasper, blood coated his whole body while rope prevented him from moving, he was high up, it was clear one of them would need to climb up there to get him down.

"Jasper." Genesis called out. She was shocked at the sight in front of her, tears started to blind her vision. She didn't hesitate to start walking forward towards Jasper at a pace. The group started to call out behind her, yelling for her to stop.

"Genesis, stop!" Clarke yelled out, reaching out to grab the girl before she set off but Genesis was adamant.

The group began to walk forward, trying to get Genesis to stop but when she called out once again, her words swallowed themselves as she screamed painfully as she fell into a trap that had been covered up purposefully.

Before she fell to the daggers and spears beneath her, Bellamy gripped onto her hand, preventing her from falling to her death.
