On the Ground

To Mount Weather

Clarke, Finn, Octavia, Jasper and Monty left about an hour ago. Bellamy sent them to go to Mount Weather. Clarke asked me to try and set up around camp here but that wasnt easy. People were in the way and wouldnt move. "Hey guys can you get up?" I asked a group of guys in the way. "Make me sweet heart." The one in the front responded. I rolled my eyes and continued what I was doing. "Hey! I'm talking to you!" He yelled at me. The guy grabbed my arm tight. A knife flew between us and hit the tree behind me. "Let her go, now." Murphy said. He stood a few feet away, glaring. "What are you gonna do? Make me?" The guy mocked back. Murphy jumped foward, knocking the guy to the ground. He pinned him there with a knife against his throat. "When I give you an order, you do it. Got it?" Murphy said. "Y-yes." The guy stuttered after a minute. Murphy got up and stood in front of me. "Take that knife out of the tree." He told me. I reached over and pulled it. I was about to hand it back to him but he shook his head. "You keep it." Murphy said. I smiled at him. The guys finally walked off. I didnt want to run into them again. "Thank you, for all that." I said as Murphy was about to walk away. He turned and looked at me, smirking. "Its fine, really." He said, then turned away. "Everyone get back to work, NOW!" He yelled. I saw Bellamy standing near the dropship. Murphy and Bellamy had become friends recently and Bellamy had put himself in charge. Well, mostly. Clarke seemed to be part leader as well. Murphy stole another glance at me. "WELLS!" Bellamy yelled still looking in my direction. I didn't know Bellamy and I was not really sure if I could trust him yet. The Chancellors son unhappliy limped over to him. Bellamy said something to him and pointed at me. I looked away and tried to act like I was working. A few moments later Wells was standing by me. "Bellamy asked me to help you. You know, if you are okay with that." He explained. Bellamy smirked at me then had walked back into the dropship but Murphy remained standing there with a slight frown on his face. Murphy had an issue with Wells and proved that earlier by trying to fight him. "Sure, we need to build a camp. Use the parachute for tents and Bellamy is putting up some in the dropship." I told him, sighing. "Got it." He said. "So whats with you and Clarke?" I asked. He froze for a second then said, "She hates me. I dont blame her for it either. Long story." Wells went back to collecting anything helpful. "I remember you as a kid." He said after a minute. Honestly I remembered him too. Wells and Clarke were best friends for a long time. Up until when her father was floated. "Yeah, you and Clarke would run around a bunch." I said, laughing. "How do you know Finn?" He asked. "We met in school a few years ago." I said after a minute. "He has always been a good friend to me." "I like him, he isnt like the others here. Like him." Wells said, pointing over at Murphy. "Look, you dont know him. Maybe he is just scared. We all are." I told Wells. He rolled his eyes. "You are only defending him cause you like him. But he is the bad guy." Wells responded. He had stopped working. "Maybe I like bad guys." I mumbled. "HEY! Is there a problem here?" Murphy asked. He marched over to were I was and stood mostly in front of me. "No." Wells said, not breaking eye contact. "Really, Murphy its fine. Wells and me were just talking. Theres no problem." I said, grabbing his arm and pushing him to the side. Murphy hadn't taken his eyes off Wells still. "Murphy? I got this. There is nothing going on." I said again Murphy looked at me for a minute then turned away and walked off. "GET TO WORK!" He yelled out. I barely knew him yet he protected me like he had known me his whole life. "Seems like he likes you too." Wells said stalking off angrily. "Where are you going?" I asked. "To find more supplies!" He shouted. Well fine then. I thought back on what he said about liking Murphy. Maybe I did but, there was a side to him that was different then what others saw.

But right now that didnt matter. I needed to build some tents. Atom had brought over some logs and sticks earlier for me. He was Bellamy's friend but he was nicer. Bellamy was nice to me too, dont get me wrong but not always. "Hey, take a break. I got this one!" Atom said, appearing out of no where. I nodded and went for a walk. "What are you doi-" I turned and saw Murphy in mid- sentence. "Oh sorry Y/N." He said. I didnt think he knew my name. "I-I was just going for a break." I explained. "Uh yeah thats cool." Murphy said, messing with his hair. "Um... hey Mbege, take watch for a bit!" He said. Mbege followed Murphy around and did anything he asked pretty much. He nodded and walked on. "Wanna go on a walk?" He asked shyly. "A walk through the unknown, possibly deadly forest.... Sure, why not." I said. He laughed. Wow, he actually laughed. "So.... Atoms already got like 1 tent built. I can help out... if you want." Murphy suggested. "Yeah, that would be great." This was just awkward now. I turned around and started walking back towards camp. "Ah... so what did they get you for?" He asked jogging to keep up a bit. "Messing with fire and trying to run when they caught me." I said. "Ah." Was all he said. He probably thought I was crazy now. Great. I glanced at him and he just smiled. "I'll get some people together. You should ask Bellamy." Murphy said. The smile disapeared when he looked at the others. I walked over to the dropship, not going in yet. "Bellamy?" I called in. "Come on in." I heard back. I walked in, it was darker in here now that Bellamy had put up some of the parachute in the door way. Bellamy was in the corner trying to pick up anything helpful. "Hey we need help with tents, want to help out?" I asked. He looked over his shoulder at me and laughed. "What?" I asked, very confused. "So, you are the one Murphy keeps talking about." He said laughing again. "I like you, you seem like you know whats going on. You know how to make people do what you want." Bellamy said. "What? Never mind, its just a simple question. Will you help or not?" I asked. I didnt wait for his response, I just walked out. That was weird. I saw that Murphy had gathered a few people. 2 tents were up and ready to go. "So who will get the tents?" One of the girls asked. "Lets just get them built, then we will assign tents." I told her. "Thats Monroe. And next to her is Roma." Bellamy said in my ear. I jumped. I hadnt heard him walk over here. I moved away a bit and nodded. Murphy was glaring at Bellamy a bit. I grabbed a log and pulled it over to the area where a new tent was being built. "OW!" Roma yelled. She had cut her hand with the knife. And now she was waving it around. "Stop moving it." I told her. I pulled free a piece of her jacket and wrapped it around her hand. "When we get some water you need to clean that." I told her. She nodded then went back to work. "You a doctor?" Someone asked. "No. My mom is a nurse on the Ark. I've just grown up with this stuff." I responded.
