Every person in camp was now outside the walls searching and scanning for clues of the grounders arrival. So far, nothing. Athena was with and Miller on watch. "It's been two days."

"I'm aware, Nate. All we can do is wait." Athena responded to her anxious friend. Of course she was scared and worried of the grounders attacking but the waiting is the worst part. You're alone with your thoughts and you think of every possible possibility. The anxiety crippling you from the inside.

"On another note, I saw that kiss between you and Blake." Miller said as his eyebrows raised up and down. The girl scoffed, smiling slightly at his teasing tone.

"Yes Nate, although I don't know what it means to him. We haven't talked about it since and I don't blame him for that. We're on high alert, and frankly I don't know if I even want to know his thoughts about it." Athena admitted to her best friend. She missed these talks with him, Nathan Miller was a romantic at heart but of course when you look at his rough exterior the word 'romantic' doesn't come to mind.

"Thena, I get you're scared but that guy has been in love with you for three years. Everyone on this damn camp can see how protective y'all are for each other. Hell, even on the Ark, I knew you were made for him and he was made for you. Don't let this war stop you from being happy. You deserve everything life has to offer and that includes Bellamy's hot ass. So just talk to him." Miller stated his advice to the older girl.

Athena laughed a bit and gave a small smile to her friend, "Okay Nate, I see your relationship advice improved over the years. Thank you, I needed that."

"Anytime Kane." He said with a small wink making the girl laugh loudly. "You need to work on those winking skills if you're gonna get a boyfriend."

Athena ran over to Clarke, Bellamy, and Octavia as they all watched as the 'meat house' burned down in flames.

"Bell, now what the hell are we gonna do? That was all the food." Octavia stated in a raspy voice due to the fire. Her hands were on her knees as she tried to catch her breath and Athena steadied her by grabbing the younger girls right arm with a tighter grip.

"Well...hunting it is." Athena stated to the small group with a shrug, "There's not much more we can do. Get small groups of three to four together, nobody goes out there alone." Athena finished as she left to her tent to retrieve her bow and arrow.

Artemis had given her the set as a gift the day before, she said that Athena would need it for what's to come. Of course Athena knew the woman meant war was coming, she just didn't know exactly when. Artemis was loyal to her people just as Athena was to hers. The bow was made of dark brown wood with a white wrapping in the middle of the bow to keep it stable. Along the side of the bow it said 'Goddess of War' in the grounder language. The green eyed girl ran her fingers lightly over the engraving, admiring the beautiful work.
