Octavia Monty and I continued to take care of Jasper, by now the acid fog had cleared. I walked outside if the drop ship and dumped the water my hand had been in and got fresh water, I asked anyone if Clarke had been back but got a no in response.

Once back in the drop ship I sighed "Still no sign of Clarke and the medicine" Monty cringed at what I said Octavia nodded sadly "They need to hurry! His fever has gotten worse" I nodded "They will!" I pulled a cloth out from my back pocket and wiped the sweat off Jasper's forehead. "They'll be back soon!" I whispered assuringly and kissed his forehead.

Octavia and I spent all day in the drop ship with Monty and Jasper and helping out. When I looked out the shutter I saw that it was dark out "Hey, Tavia! It's night time." "You guys go I'll stay with Jasper" Monty said looking at his best friend we nodded and headed out.

"Bellamy he should be back by now." Octavia said solemnly "He will Be! He left early and has been gone all day yesterday and today the fog stopped them from returning so I'm sure they found shelter further away from camp then we first thought." I said squeezing her shoulder Octavia went to speak but we saw Clarke come into view us both running to her.

"It's about time! They're gonna kill Jasper. Did you get the medicine?" Octavia rushed out Clarke nodded "Yeah. I...I got it. Come on. Let's talk." I looked up to see Bellamy and then I looked down and saw someone's body covered up.

Out of instinct I moved forward and looked up at Bellamy I heard Clarke try to get Octavia to follow her but she ignored her and Clarke gave up and went into the drop ship, "Octavia, just stay there. Please, stay back." Bellamy pleaded sadly at his sister. It didn't take a genius to figure out why, the body that was covered up had to be Atom. Considering everyone else she got close to was here and alive and Atom was with the hunting group.

And as they all stood in behind Bellamy Atom was no where to be seen. "Why?" Octavia questioned and went to move past Bellamy he grabbed her and she fought against his hold. She pushes Bellamy's arm away and heads for the person under the cloth, Atom.

I was frozen in my spot this was the first death I had witnessed. I mean there were two guys that died on the way down to the ground and I saw them but I hadn't thought about the fact that they were dead. Now standing here and looking down there was someone dead and I was able to process it and it made me sad; sad because we shouldn't be witnessing death, sad because Atom had died, sad for Octavia.

"Stop" she said and went down to the body. Before she lifted the cloth I found myself move to Bellamy as he watched Octavia with sad eyes, feeling a presence by his side he looked down at me sadly I gave him the same expression and without thinking grabbed hold of his hand I don't know if it was to help comfort him or myself. Maybe both of us.

I watched as Octavia went to lift up the cloth from Atom's body, before I could see him I screwed my eyes shut and shoved my face into Bellamy's bicep. I felt him give my hand a squeeze "Atom" I heard Octavia gasp out. I felt Bellamy pull closer to Octavia and taking me with him as I kept my face hidden in his bicep "There's nothing I could do." Bellamy said desperately.

"Don't" Octavia snapped and I heard a few sniffles before I heard her run off Bellamy sighed and squeezed my hand again "It's ok. You can open your eyes now." I slowly opened my eyes and pulled my face from Bellamy's bicep and looked to where Atom laid with the cloth covering his body.

I looked up at the sound of someone approaching "Lose anyone here?" Bellamy asking Murphy who shook his head "No" "Jasper?" Bellamy asked I went to answer but Murphy beat me to it "Still breathing. Barely. I tried to take him out but your psycho little sister and her psycho best-" Bellamy pulled Murphy by the collar of his shirt and yelled "My what? My what?"

"Your little sister." Murphy said lowly "Yeah, that's right. My little sister. Got anything else you want to say about her?" Bellamy said threateningly "Nothing, but I do want to say her psycho best friend may have caused this." Murphy said indicating that in our time in the sky box my "craziness" may have rubbed off on Octavia.

I stood there shocked because of learning about Atom and the fact that Murphy had the nerve to continue. Bellamy nodded at Murphy before turning away and throwing a punch to Murphy's jaw sending him flying to the ground. Bellamy bent down to Murphy and held a finger to his face "You ever talk bad about my sister or about Rachel, you better pray I don't hear about it." And with that Bellamy shot up and grabbed my hand and dragged me off.

We entered Bellamy's tent and he sat down on his cot and put his hands on his face and rubbed them down, I bent in front of him and rested my hands on his knees "How.. How did he..." I trailed off Bellamy looked up at me sadly "Got lost in the fog." I nodded "Did you do everything you could?" I asked Bellamy thought for a moment.

"Yeah, I had to get Charlotte and I in the cave I head him calling for me and I went to turn back. But..." he trailed off I nodded knowing he meant the fog had caught up to him. Bellamy looked at my face "Your eyes!" He gasped and reached to brush his fingers by the side of my face I hissed in pain at the contact he quickly retracted his finger and apologized.

"Yeah, I was in the drop ship and heard some weird commotion and when I looked out the fog burned at my eyes and hands" I explained and showed him my bandaged hand "How bad?" I shook my head "Not bad, just red blistered and angry" he nodded glumly.

"I'm gonna go make sure Octavia is ok" he nodded but before I could leave his tent "Thank you! For protecting her and making sure she is ok." I nodded "You don't have to thank me. It's what we do." And with that I left him alone in his tent and went into the drop ship knowing Octavia would be there.

When I reached the upper level I saw Monty, Octavia, and Finn passing around a bottle of alcohol "Disgusting. Love it." I giggled as Octavia passed it around "Can I uh, get a hit of that?" We all jumped up at the voice and scrambled to an awake and conscious Jasper.

I wasn't paying attention when Clarke entered I just held onto Octavia's hand as we smiled at Jasper who was smiling back. All was well.

For now.
