"Today, Finn, you volunteered to go first. Quit stalling, Mount Weather awaits." Clarke rushed him.
"Just hold on till the apogee and you'll be fine." Jasper reassured him.
"The apogee like the Indians right?"
"Apogee, not Apache." Jasper shook his head.
"He knows! Today Finn." Clarke told him impatiently.
"Aye, aye, captain. See you in the other side." He smiled, putting two fingers to his forehead as he saluted her.
He grabbed the vine, functioning as a makeshift swing to get everybody over to the other side of the river.
He pulled back the rope a little, being interrupted.
"Wait!" Jasper stopped him. , "What?"
"Let me. I can do it." Jasper looked at Octavia, smiling at her.

"I knew there was a badass in there somewhere." Finn smiled, punching his arm.
Jasper held the rope, taking a deep breath, studying how far of a jump it would have to be.
"Hey, it's okay to be afraid, Jasper. The trick is not fighting it." Finn told him.
"You got this Jasper." Monty reassured his friend.
"See you on the other side."
Jasper took a deep breath, running backwards as he kicked his feet off the ground, and made it into the air.
"WOOOOO!! WHOOOO!! YEAH!" He shouted, swinging through the air.
"GO JASPER!" Violet shouted.
He let go of the vine rope, miscalculating when to let go as he tripped, skidding on his back for a second before standing up.
The others ran to where they could see him, as he stood up dusting himself off.
"WE ARE APOGEE!" He yelled, pumping his fist in the air, and drumming his chest.
"YEAH!" Clarke yelled.
"WE MADE IT! WOOOO!" He yelled, jumping up and down.
Violet smiled, yelling for him.
"YOU DID IT JASPER!"

"Let's go, tiny." Finn tapped Violets shoulder, as she nodded, taking hold of the rope.  "You're up."
She took a deep breath.
"COME ON VIOLET! YOU GOT THIS!" Jasper yelled, dancing around.
"WHOOOO! APOGEE!"
"I'm right behind you." Finn reassured her.
She nodded, pulling the rope back.

"WE DID IT!" Jasper yelled, suddenly holding up a tin sign, worn from years of abandonment, reading Mount Weather.
"MOUNT WEATHER! WOOOO!" He shouted, holding the sign in the air.
"Yes!" Octavia laughed.
"Yeah, Jasper!" Finn yelled. "Alright, Violet."
Violet took a deep breath, pushing herself backwards, as she ran and pulled her feet up, the rope swinging her towards the edge of the small cliff.

"JASPER!" Clarke screamed.
Violet looked down in time to see a spear, hit him in the chest, not seeing where it had came from.

"VIOLET, NO!" Finn lunged, grabbing the rope before she went too far, as she lost her grip, falling into the rocks below, slamming the side of her head into the cliff side as she screamed.
Finn scrambled down the rocks, grabbing her and pulling her over to where Clarke and the others were huddled, staying low.

"Come on, come on! Come on!" Finn
"Get down, get down!" Clarke whispered.
Violet pressed her hand against her forehead, looking at the blood on her palm as she began to panic. 

"We're not alone." Clarke said anxiously.
"We need to get back to camp." Finn whispered.
Violet nodded, looking at the others who agreed.
"Okay, we run on the count of three."

"One."

"Two."

"Three!" 

Finn stood up, lifting Violet over the rocks onto her knees, the others climbing back up on their own.
"Go!" Finn waved his hand at her, as she ran off, Monty just ahead of her.

Violets arms moved besides her torso, her legs moving as she breathed heavily.
Clarke stopped, facing where Jasper had been left.

"Clarke! Come on!" Finn grabbed her hand, running as he pulled her hand. 
They ran through the forest, jumping over thick grass, and roots sticking out of the ground.

"H-holy shit!"
Monty tripped, Violet running into him as she tripped herself, landing besides him.

"Monty!" She groaned.
"Come on! Monty get up!" Finn grabbed his hand, trying to help him get back up, as Monty pointed to the  ribcage sitting in front of him.

Violet gasped, standing up as she backed away from the dead.
"Oh my god."

"Who are they?" Finn asked, looking at the bones.
"More like what are they?" Clarke picked up a severely deformed skull, brown in color and missing a good portion of its upper jaw.

"Oh my god." Violet whispered, grabbing Finn's hand.
"We are so screwed!" Octavia exclaimed.
Violet turned around, hearing Jasper scream.
"He's alive!" Clarke shoved past them, starting to run back to Jasper.
"Clarke, wait! Wait!"
The others ran after her, as she made it back to the cliff site.
"Wait! Stay out of the trees!" Finn grabbed her, pulling her down as Violet and Monty came running, Octavia closely behind.
"He was right there!" Finn shook his head, pointing to where Jasper had been, just seconds before.
"No! Where is he?" Monty crouched down by Violet.
"They took him."

"Who the hell is they!"
