Earth's Echo (The 100)

Understanding

A girl started spazzing on the floor. This was the fourth one in the last four hours. I flipped her over on her back when she stopped and started giving CPR. Finally she started breathing again, and I quickly sent one of the healthier patients to tend to her.

I stumbled back to Clarke who was still sleeping. The rag on her forehead was hot again, so I grabbed it rewetting it, and placed it on her head. "Tell me if she awakes." I said looking to Murphy who was near her. He nodded and threw up some blood.

I walked out to go see if anymore of the camp had gotten sick. The cool air felt so nice on my hot skin. But I couldn't enjoy it because Bellamy came up staying his distance. "You got enough food in there, water?" He asked.

"No one's really eating anything, they are just throwing it up anyway, but we need water, a lot of water, they need to stay hydrated." I said. "Some medicine would also be nice." I sighed blinking away the dots.

Bellamy smirked. That was the first time he showed me any kind of human affection since the bridge. "I'll see what I can do." Bellamy said. He looked to the drop ship. "Octavia are you okay?"

I pressed my lips together. Bellamy looked to me and started walking towards the drop ship. "Bellamy, wait, she's not here." I said. "I sent her to see Lincoln." I flinched seeing Bellamy's death gaze. "Look, if there's a cure, he has it. I didn't tell you because I knew you wouldn't let her go."

"If anything happens to her," Bellamy growled. "You and me are gonna have problems." He walked away.

Just then I saw a kid with blood flowing from his eyes. I was about to run forward, but when I took a step, I tripped. "Dude, your eyes." Said someone.

Soon everyone was shouting. Anarchy was coming, people were soon going to start turning on each other. I crawled into the drop ship and grabbed one of guns one of the sick gunners had dropped.

I walked out and saw the non sick people were pointing their guns at the sick ones. They were screaming. This had to stop. I raised the gun in the air and shot three bullets off. Everyone turned to me and went silent.

"This is exactly what the grounders want." I said glaring at them. "Don't you see that? They don't have to kill us if we kill each other first." I said trying to speak loud enough for everyone to hear, but I was so out of breath.

One of the kids closest to me lifted his gun and pointed at me. "They won't have to kill us if we all catch the virus. Get back in the damn drip ship."

Instead of going back into the drop ship, I took a step forward, and he pulled the trigger. Pain seared through my left arm. This kid had just shot me! I walked forward and punched the kid across the face, but since I was so weak he just stumbled back, and he raised his gun again, but before he could shoot again Bellamy came out and took the gun and hit the kid in the face.

"You okay?" He asked. I grasped my arm to stop the bleeding. I nodded ripping a part of my shirt and tying it around my wound. I then looked up to Bellamy. "Not to state the obvious, but your quarantine isn't working."

"I..." But exhaustion and dizziness took over, and I fell to the ground. I heard footsteps running up to me, but I raised my hand. "No one touch me!" I shook my head and saw that it was Bellamy and Finn both who went to grab me.

I pressed myself off the ground and dragged myself into the drop ship. Once inside I turned to my side and puked up blood sending it everywhere. I whipped my face and felt better.

I stood up and ran to Clarke's bedside. She was gagging, and I quickly turned her on her side, and blood streamed from her mouth. Murphy was by my side, "If you see anyone gagging or chocking turn them on their side so the blood and come out and not chock them." I said. He nodded and I ran off to help another kid.
