I picked at my fingers, waiting on Bellamy and the others to come back. It was dark now and they weren't back yet.

Monty sat beside me. "You need to calm down, they will be fine." I nod, with a small smile.

"Thanks monty."

"Hey." I turn to see Octavia sitting beside me. "No sign of your brother or the others yet."

She was looking beyond. "Hey. I don't care." Octavia was being mean. She didn't care about anything anymore and she barley hung out with us anymore.

I move away from her and she looks hurt by the action but I didn't care. In the background, I heard Harper,

"Jasper, tell us again, how's you stay so calm? I would've been terrified." Octavia was watching but I stayed the other way.

"Fear is only a problem if you let it stop you, right?" Octavia looks back over at us. "That's not even his line. Finn said that."

Monty smiles. And we both looked over at him. "I saw those grounders in the trees. It was like nothing I ever felt. Pure animal instinct took over. One pull of the trigger, two grounders dead."

I cringe slightly, shaking my head. "Pure animal instinct'? More like pure pants — wetting panic."

I look at monty and he's not smiling. I look back again as Jasper continues to talk.

"You don't really know what you're made of until a moment like that when it's kill or be killed and there's just nothing between you and the tip of the spear."

"Okay. This has to stop." I look at Octavia and it was like I didn't even recognize her.

Octavia is about to go over and stop Jasper but Monty stops her. "Come on. Let us have this."

She furrows her eyebrows. "Us?" She questions and Monty nods his head towards Jasper.

"Look at him. The boy is a folk hero." Jasper was handshaking others. "They even gave us a bigger tent."

"I want a bigger tent." I say and Monty glares at me. "You have the biggest tent of all of us."

I shrug. "I also have a small one with Dylan." Monty chuckles softly. "So you have two tents, you're the lucky one Riles."

Clattering noises come from outside and my eyes widen. "Somebody hit the trip wire!" Connor yells.

"Which wire! Was it a grounder?" Somebody yells. I grab Monty's arm and he looks confused.

"I don't see anything."

The guards were holding up guns, and I was scared. Bellamy and the others were still out there.

"Something moved!"

"There, there, there!"

I gasp, my eyes wide as I lean forward, trying to see who it is. Derek and Connor start shooting at the person.

Everybody was freaking out now. Octavia chased after the guards and I stayed with Monty.

I noticed Dylan standing at the gate. "Who do you think it was?" I ask Monty who was watching out.

"I'm thinking grounder, but that would be to easy..." Dylan then runs out there. "Dylan, help me!" I heard Derek yell.

After a few minutes, Octavia comes up with Connor behind her. I run up to Octavia. "What is it?" I ask with wide eyes.
