- I wish I could have been there- Avery said laughing along with Miller. The latter had just told her about how Atom had been hanging from a tree all night because Bellamy had caught him kissing Octavia.
Avery thought Bellamy had exaggerated, but she was amused by the story. She and Nathan passed by the ship, and she noticed a writing engraved on one of the outside parts "The first son, the first to die".
- Who wrote it?- She asked while she ran her fingers over the engraving.
- You think? Murphy- She answered with a slightly ironic tone.
- He could at least write die well- The girl said rolling her eyes.
She had known John for many years and she knew that he didn't have a great character, but since they were on Earth he had become even more impulsive. - Speaking of John, I'm going to look for him.- She said greeting Miller with a kiss on the cheek.After a while she found Murphy with Bellamy practicing throwing knives at a tree, but the younger boy was pathetic.
- Is that the right boy? He's drilling into my brain.-
John said referring to poor Jasper who had been screaming in pain since the night before.
- It won't last much longer, find another excuse.- Bellamy replied throwing an axe, which stuck in the tree unlike John's knife.
- That's how it's done.-Suddenly Atom came from the woods with another boy.
- We've searched in every direction, there's no sign of Trina or Pasqual.- Atom reported to Bellamy.
He was talking about the two boys who had been missing for a day, most of the hundred thought they had been killed by grounders.- Did you go to your special tree?- Murphy asked him to tease him.
- Atom has been punished, leave him alone.- Bellamy scolded him.
- Bellamy everyone is scared and that dying boy is not helping with morale.- Avery understood the veiled advice Atom was giving Bellamy and threw his knife which stuck perfectly in the tree, passing right by Atom's ear. The boys turned around in fear as they had not noticed Avery until that moment.- You spent the night hanging from a tree, he was hanging by a thread between life and death after taking a spear to the chest. So I think you should shut up.-
Avery said sourly glaring at Atom.- Morale will rise when I find more food, and maybe Trina and Pasqual are just lost.-
Bellamy said to Atom ignoring the girl's intrusion.
- We'll keep an eye out when we go hunting. Do you want to come too?- He asked Avery this time.
- Of course I'm coming, I'm the one with the best aim.- She replied, going to get the knife stuck in the tree. John rolled his eyes amused.
- Modesty is one of your best qualities if they ask.-
- Absolutely.- She said smiling at him.Then Bellamy told Murphy that he couldn't come with them hunting because they needed someone to protect the camp from the grounders.
- Okay, but someone tell the corpse to shut up.-
The younger boy replied.
- John, don't do anything stupid.- Avery said worried that Murphy might kill Jasper.
- Relax.- He replied, but his tone of voice didn't reassure Avery at all.She had known him for many years and she knew when he listened to her advice, and that the words he said went in one ear and out the other. At that moment a scream louder than Jasper was heard and Bellamy and Avery went towards the ship.
Clarke was removing the infected skin with a burning knife while Wells and Finn held him still.
- Stop! You're killing him.- Octavia said scared.
- I'm saving his life.- The blonde replied.
- He can't.- Bellamy said who had just gone up to the upper floor of the ship with Avery next to him.
- He's done for, if you don't understand he's delusional, he's driving us all crazy.- I'm really sorry if Jasper is a problem for you, but this isn't the Ark, here every life matters.- Clarke replied.
- Why don't you take a good look at him? He's a lost cause.- Clarke passed a wet cloth over his forehead dripping with sweat. - Octavia, I've spent my life watching my mother heal people, if I say there is hope, there is hope.-
- It's not about hope, it's about courage, you don't have the strength to make difficult choices, I do.- Bellamy continued. - Clarke is right.- Avery said surprising everyone, including herself.
She didn't think she would ever say those words in her entire life.
- I simply agree with her that Jasper could do it.- Avery said explaining to everyone why she said these words.
- If he doesn't get better by tomorrow, I'll kill him myself.- Bellamy said giving an ultimatum.
