After Clarke had cut the infected flesh away I stayed and helped make sure Jasper was ok, when I noticed the pain had subsided from him I decided to put myself to work.
I couldn't do a whole lot because of my arms, Clarke had told me she stitched the gashes from the panthers claws up but the bit mark was too jagged to stitch but that it wasn't bleeding too bad so she just cleaned and left it alone, in a day or so she said she would look at it and decide it if needed cauterizing or not.
Bellamy had taken a group of guys out hunting, and though I probably could go hunting I decided against it as I probably sucked at it and would scare the game away, I started to collect scrap metal I found laying around the outskirts of camp from the landing. I went to the fire that was in the middle of camp and sat by it.
The camp was mostly empty some being in the drop ship, some wandering the woods to get away from camp and Jaspers pained moans. I put a piece of the scrap metal into the fire or rather into a flame of the fire. I was always drawn to fire. I don't know why it just mesmerized me and I always found it hard to pull my eyes away.
Fire was the whole reason I was arrested, well really it was just a piece to why I was arrested. I shook my head of the thought and focused on what I was doing, once the metal was red hot almost glowing white I pulled it out and started to use a rock to shape the metal into what I had in mind.
Once I was satisfied with the shape I grabbed a screw I found loose in the drop ship wall and carved out stuff on the cool metal. After about an hour that was done and I raised it up to my eyes as I inspected my handiwork and felt my face break out into a smile, I had made a knife and not the dinky one Murphy carried around a real and badass knife.
I continued making more weapons with the scrap metal and sat it down with the other 3 I had made. I went to work on the 4th but heard a weird whooshing sound and a slight rumbling instead of standing around I decided to run in the drop ship soon after I heard others doing the same, I went to a shutter on the upper level and peaked out the window to see a weird yellow gaseous fog bellowing to camp.
I watched as the rest of the camp ran for the drop ship, suddenly I felt in awful burning sensation and shut my eyes in pain and scrambled to find the shutter to pull it shut, hissing in pain my hand landed on the shutter and I didn't hesitate to slam it shut.
I fell back in pain feeling the area around my eyes and my hands burned something awful as a few kids climbed to the top level of the drop ship disrupting Monty "What's going on?" "Air got thick, everybody's skin started burning." Someone answered his question I opened my eyes nodding "Yeah and it hurts." I groaned looking down at my hands as they shook in pain.
Octavia came to my side and put my hands in a water basin we had on the top level for Jasper "No Tavia, this is for Jasper" I whined but sighed in relief at the cold water immediately soothing the burning "Its's ok, we will dump this out and get fresh water." I nodded my head Octavia grabbed a towel and dunked it into the cold water and put it over my eyes.
"Why?" I asked "They were burned too" after she said that that's when I felt it and then soon after felt the pain slowly dwindle much like my hands. "Guys! My brothers out there." I heard Octavia say scared after she looked at my wounds from the fog and that happened while I was in the drop ship.
"He'll be fine. We'll all be fine." Monty stated trying to reassure all of us, once my hand and eyes felt better I removed my hands from the water and the towel draped over my eyes, "Hey, can you help me wrap my hands up?" Octavia nodded and grabbed some lose supplies and started to take care of my hand. Clarke had turned the 3rd level into a operating room.
Once Octavia was done we both slid to where Monty was trying to manipulate a wristband. He wanted to send a message to the ark. We all wanted too. Everyone but Bellamy that is.
Octavia and I assisted Monty by handing him tools he made, Octavia and I took turns every 30 mins checking on Jasper to make sure he was still stable until Clarke, Finn, and Wells came back with medicine. "You two should get some sleep." Monty sighed looking at us then going back to work "But you need help. And Jasper" I said motioning to Jasper who was moaning and groaning in pain.
Sadly there was nothing we could to help with his pain, "Yeah, we can't just leave you." Octavia said Monty sighed again. "Ok let's get back to work team."
.............................
I had awoken to someone yelling how Jasper was driving them crazy, We helped Jasper for a few more hours before Octavia and I fell asleep. I slept by Jasper incase something happened and Octavia slept by Monty incase he needed her help.
I noticed Monty wasn't where he last was I was about to get up and look for him when he rushed into the top level "Murphy's going to kill Jasper!" He shouted fast. Octavia and I immediately sprang into action Monty tried to close the hatch but Murphy was already there holding it open.
Octavia started to kick Murphy in the face but he wouldn't budge I saw his hands or more so his fingers. I rammed my heel into his fingers and kicked his hand away with Octavia and I kicking Murphy he let go and fell down a bit allowing Monty to close the hatch.
But Murphy was relentless and banged on the hatch causing Monty who was sitting on the hatch to bounce up and down. Monty looked at us wide eyed "The lock's on the other side." Which meant we couldn't lock the door that way.
I looked around the drop ship for anything that could help the situation at hand "Don't let him in!" Octavia told Monty and ran for a pipe in the drop ship and pulled at it but it wouldn't budge. "I'm gonna kill him, okay? Let me in! Let me in, Monty! Uhh!" Murphy screamed while pounding on the hatch door.
I ran up to help Octavia as we pulled and fought with a pipe "No rush. I'm fine here." Monty said impatiently I rolled my eyes "Not helping Monty." Suddenly an idea struck me "Octavia get out of the way!" She did what I told her and I pulled my leg back and kicked the pipe hard.
The pipe sprang lose and flew across the drop ship with a clatter, Octavia didn't hesitate to run and pick the pipe up "I got it! Move it!" She yelled at Monty rushing over to the hatch "The three of you better open up this hatch right now!" Murphy yelled Octavia slid the pip in the handle of the hatch so Murphy couldn't open it.
We all caught our breath "Monty, it's your turn to sleep."
