The group had decided to walk back to the rover, and hopefully find a solution. Artemis noticed Jasper's slight distance, but she didn't say anything about it. She just figured he was probably tired, and she understood. Clarke paced beside the rover while Octavia sharpened her swords. Artemis was sitting on top of the rover while Jasper stood by her, in front of the rover. She sat there playing with her fingers as she had no idea what was to come. 

"Rovers almost charged. We need to pack up. We'll be home soon." Bellamy said, breaking the silence. "Then, what? Run away?" Clarke asked, deadpan in her face and voice. "We're not running away, Clarke. We're gonna regroup with the others, and find another way to defeat--" 

"There is no other way! We need to find a nightblood." Clarke cut him off, "We need to unlock the flame. That's the only way to stop ALIE."

"What do you expect us to do, Clarke? Walk into random villages asking for their Nightbloods?" 

"If thats what it takes." 

"No, Clarke. I will not let you destroy another innocent grounder village. Plus, if ALIE can find us on Luna's rig, in the middle of the ocean, she can find us anywhere." Artemis said, stealing Octavia's words right from her mind. 

Clarke took a step closer, "If we dont find a nightblood, there won't be any grounder villages." she turns to Bellamy, "Or a home for us to go back to." 

"Thats all the more reason we go there and make sure our friends are okay." Bellamy sterned. 

Clarke looked between the four of them, realizing that they all agreed on the same thing. She nods in defeat, walking away for a moment. "She'll be okay. Just let her cool off." Jasper said, his breath fogging due to the cold of February. Artemis took a deep breath, jumping off the rover and walking to the side of the rover where Octavia is. She sat down beside her and the two fell into casual conversation. They noticed as Bellamy walked out into the woods, following after Clarke. 

"Octavia, my....death doesn't make sense. I just-- it doesn't make sense. My heart shouldn't have kick started on its own." Artemis  lowered her voice as she spoke, "I should've died." 

"Well, you didn't. That should be enough. Besides, whats that thing mom used to say? This world wasn't made for us, Art. She said that we are an astrological anomaly  that could never be solved." 

"But it just--" 

"Artemis." Octavia cut her off, indicating she should drop the whole thing, probably due to the fact that Jasper had caught onto the conversation. Artemis looked up to see his furried eyebrows as he stared into the ground, boring his eyes into the earth. 

"Look, i didn't mean it like that, but yeah sure astrological anomaly.." Artemis trailed off, hoping he would hear, and he did. 

Bellamy and Clarke had come walking out of the woods a few minutes later, yelling to the three about packing up the rover. As the couple got closer, Artemis and the others noticed that they had another person with them, and it was none other than King Roan of Ice Nation. 

Before anyone could ask any questions, they were being dragged into the rover, and off into they woods they went. Jasper was sitting in the front seat, which seemed odd to Artemis as she sat right behind his chair. As she reached up and tried to play with his buzzed hair, he moved away from her and instead grabbed her hand, holding it. This had also seemed strange to Artemis, usually Jasper was begging her to run her hands through his hair. 

Artemis simply ignored this, pulling her hand away from his and plugging in her headphones. She listened to her playlist through the beat up iPod shuffle that has quite literally been through the deepest depths of hell with her.
