Sleep was a luxury only the fool could afford at a time like this. Other than the I-screen going off to alarm me about my brother's and Jisung's vital signs, I couldn't sleep because each time I tried closing my eyes, I saw that dead body with its head detached, the bodies of the dead grounders and Marty's on the ground. Blood staining the grass and agonizing screams; I'm a doctor blood never bothered me but here...here things were different. This whole thing was about to become a massacre, a blood bath.

I got up and decided it was best to clear my head. I went outside the ship for some fresh air. I made sure to stay close to the camp because I knew how dangerous it was. I wouldn't dare get far not at night at least.

When I was about to get back inside after about 10 minutes, I heard something move in the darkness. To say I wasn't scared shitless would be a lie. I froze in place and panicking reached for my flashlight.
"Who's there," I said, acting as if I wasn't seconds away from pissing my pants.

I walked towards the noise and looked around, but I found nothing. I let out a sigh of relief and only then I glanced at the ground and saw my notebook. I was perplexed. How did it get here? I crouched down and got it.

"What the," I said but I decided whatever the fuck was going on I needed to figure it out tomorrow because at that hour I couldn't make any sense of anything.
I went inside quickly and looked through my drawings, only to find one that I didn't recognize. It wasn't one of mine...

"What is this"

It was a very simple drawing of a tree but done beautifully, it reminded me of the grounder at the cave for some reason, maybe because there were similar trees drawn on the walls.

Or I just thought of him because the day I last saw him was the day I had last seen the notebook as well, maybe. But again, this could not be just a coincidence.

I moved to the next page and this time there was a horn drawn.
For a moment I thought that maybe this had some type of meaning, but what? This can't just be a random drawing... I think... no I know that it was done by the grounder. It had to be him.

The thing is the more I thought about it the more anxious I got so I decided it was time to sleep and turn off my brain. It had been a long day I would figure it out tomorrow in a saner state of mind, as sane as I could be down here anyways.

The young doctor spent the whole day trying to understand the meaning of the two drawings and when he finally formed an applaudable theory he knew he had to find the grounder as risky as it might be.
He went outside to make sure the work on the wall was going as planned and that there were no additional problems. Luckily everything was going well, the wall was almost done. Ryujin was the one in charge.

He then spotted Jisung helping one of the guards with carrying a piece of wood.

"Jisung when you're done there we have to talk," said Felix and he nodded.

Then 5 minutes later Jisung went to speak with him.

"Tell me"

"Ok first of all I want you to be careful around everyone...after our last conversation about the engine we need to figure out who...you know destroyed the engine," he said keeping his tone low and quiet and
Jisung whispered, "yeah sure".

"Second can you come with me in the woods I need to look for the grounder that saved me," said Felix, and Jisung's eyes widened.

"Huh? You can't be seriously asking me to come with you in the woods to look for a grounder" said Jisung looking at the blonde like he was crazy.
