Warrior|The hundred

Chapter 2 - Hero Complex

I sneaked out again to the lake, it was beautiful, unethical and it helped me think, heal. when I arrived back to camp people were acting like the animals from that one old movie I remember watching with mom and Brook, I saw Wells discussing with Bellamy. Hot. So hot. His hair wasn't flicked back with gel, it was curly and his abs were perfect, I hadn't really chosen a side yet so I decided to stay out of whatever they were discussing, I knew Bellamy wanted the Ark to stay up there and didn't care that everyone there was gonna die and Wells and Clarke wanted to keep the wristbands on so the Ark could come down and make Earth just as infernal as they did and still do on the Ark. Before I could go find Harper I heard a scream and out of instinct my hand went for my gun but I stopped myself. No one knows I have it, I need to keep it that way. I ran towards the scream hearing steps behind me but I didn't care, Murphy was putting a girls arm so close to the fire to nearly burn her.
"Bellamy. Check it out. We want the Ark to think that the ground is killing us, right? Figure it'll look better if we suffer a little bit first" Murphy said and I wasn't gonna let an innocent girl get hurt for their stupid decisions so I shoved Murphy off of the girl and caught her just before she could get burned
"Harper take care of her" I ordered before turning to them just in time to hear the delinquents chanting
"Fight!" Murphy looked possessed but I didn't care I did the right thing, I know I have no choice but to fight him, but I can't kill him either. He threw his fist stoopat my face but I ducked and swiped his feet under him making him fall on his ass and I turned to Wells and Bellamy
" Don't you see you can't control this?" Wells yelled at Bellamy
"You're dead" Murphy said dragging the attention right at him as he took out a small pocket knife so I took out mine, it was much more sharp and I was trained to use it, to kill with it, hell I had done it before, while Murphy was just a really brave and stupid asshole for even trying to fight me, Murphy tried to slash me but I slashed him on the arm and put him on a headlock with my knife against his throat
"Drop it" I ordered in a dangerously low tone. He either drops it or I kill him, it's his choice.
"Nat! Let him go!" Finn yelled as he and the others emerged from the forest running towards us. I let him go pushing him to the ground, Murphy got up and tried to come at me but this time Bellamy stopped him
"Enough, Murphy" Bellamy ordered
"Octavia. Are you all right?" Bellamy asked running up to her and helping her stand
"Yeah" Octavia said
"Where's the food?" Wells asked
"We didn't make it to Mount Weather" Finn informed. Duh.
"What the hell happened out there?" I asked
"We were attacked" Clarke said. Attacked?
"Attacked? By what?" Well asked
"Not what. Who. It turns out, when the last man from the ground died on the Ark, he wasn't the last Grounder" Finn said
"It's true. Everything we thought we knew about the ground is wrong. There are people here, survivors. The good news is, that means we can survive. Radiation won't kill us" Clarke added
"Yeah, the bad news is the Grounders will" Finn said. We're so screwed
"Where's the kid with the goggles?" I asked. I did head count twice, they left as five but just four came back.
"Jasper was hit. They took him. Where is your wristband?" Clarke asked Wells. He took it off? No, he wouldn't let his father die like that. Not after what he said yesterday
"Ask him" Wells said signaling to Bellamy and Murphy. This idiots
"How many?" Clarke asked with very noticeable anger rising in her eyes
"Twenty-four and counting" Murphy said smirking
"You idiots. Life support on the Ark is failing. That's why they brought us down here. They need to know the ground is survivable again, and we need their help against whoever is out there. If you take off your wristbands, you're not just killing them. You're killing us!" Clarke said to the crowd.
"We're stronger than you think. Don't listen to her. She's one of the privileged. If they come down, she'll have it good. How many of you can say the same? We can take care of ourselves. That wristband on your arm? It makes you a prisoner. We are not prisoners anymore! They say they'll forgive your crimes. I say you're not criminals! You're fighters, survivors! The Grounders should worry about us!" Bellamy said. They both have a point kind of. The delinquents cheered at Bellamy's speech and Finn and I walked away
"I left for one day and you nearly killed someone. Really?" Finn scolded
"I stayed one day and you nearly get yourself killed. Really?" I said back and he rolled his eyes, we hanged out for a couple hours before I went into my tent, I placed my gun, daggers, and sword on the bag and placed it next to my makeshift bed then I finally got in the bed and hopped to sleep soundly. Next day I hanged out with Harper and Nate all morning, I had placed my gun back on its holder and my daggers back on their place.
"Why are the privileged and the boss coming towards us?" Nate asked
"Since your little show, they're probably looking for you Nat" Harper said
"Let's hope not" I said right before they stopped walking in front of us and Harper and Nate looked at me as if saying 'told you so' and I rolled my eyes
"We need your help" Clarke said and I looked at Nate and Harper as if saying 'get out of here' and they nodded and left as I got up from the trunk we were all sat on and looked at Clarke as if saying 'continue'
"You know how to fight. If any grounders find us-" Clarke started
"Why would I help you?"
"Saving Jasper's life it's not enough?" Clarke asked. Yes.
"Not really"
"You seem to want the Ark to come down, if her wristband dies, we all know the council won't risk the people to come down here" Wells said and I looked at him unamused before turning to Clarke. The kid is smart I'll give him that
"Lead the way Blondie" I ordered and she nodded and we all started walking, I was walking next to Clarke and Wells and Murphy and Bellamy were behind us. After about twenty minutes we were still walking, I started getting bored but I didn't say anything
"Hey, hold up. Whiat's the rush? You don't survive a spear through the heart" Bellamy said holding up his gun like a toy. So childish.
"Put the gun away, Bellamy" Wells ordered
"Well, why don't you do something about it, huh?" Murphy said shoving him
"Jasper screamed when they moved him. If the spear struck his heart, he'd have died instantly. It doesn't mean we have time to waste" Clarke said before trying to walk away but Bellamy grabbed her arm. If her wristband dies I won't be able to seed f my sister again
"As soon as you take this wristband off, we can go" Bellamy said and I pulled Clarke's hand out of his grip and stepped in front of Clarke
"The only w y the Ark is gonna think she's dead is if I'm dead. Got it?"
"Brave queen" Bellamy said with a smirk. So hot, but so dumb.
"Hey. You call this a rescue party? Got to split up, cover more ground. Clarke, Nat come with me" Finn said coming out of the trees.
"We can leave those three alone Finn " Clarke said
"Good luck Nat" Finn said winking at me before walking away dragging Clarke with him.
"Great" I muttered before I started walking alone. I am not dealing with this idiots.
"How old are you?" Bellamy asked catching up to me. All kids here are seventeen or younger what am I supposed to say without him knowing I sneaked in? I stayed quiet not really knowing what to say.
"You act different than the other delinquents, you walk different, and your fighting style it's perfect, you fought Murphy and didn't get a single scratch. You are definitely older than seventeen. So how old are you Natalia?" Bellamy asked again. How did he just-? He just read me like a book. What the hell?
"Nineteen" I said finally answering him and looking at him, he smirked
"How did you end up here?" Bellamy pushed
"None of your business"
"You sneaked in didn't you?" Bellamy asked amused
"Something like that" I said
"Guys we found something" Clarke yelled and we ran towards her.
"What is it?"  I asked and Clarke showed us the googles.
"Finn found a track of blood we have to follow it" Clarke said and I nodded and we started walking.
"Hey, how do we know this is the right way?" Murphy asked for the hundred time in an hour
"We don't. Spacewalker thinks he's a tracker" Bellamy piped up
"It's called cutting sign. Fourth-year earth skills. He's good" Wells defended
"You want to keep it down or should I paint a target on your backs?" Finn snapped and I smirked
"See? You're invisible" I heard Bellamy say to Wells right before we heard a moan.
"What the hell was that?" Murphy asked with fear on his voice
"Let's find out" I said before rushing towards the moans
"Natalia no" Finn warned but I didn't listen, Clarke was running next to me and we both stopped when we saw Jasper, he looked awful. He was in unimaginable pain I wanted to help him.
"Jasper. Oh, my God" Clarke gasped and ran towards him, I was walking behind her in case any trap or grounder were hidden around here. In a flash Clarke was falling into a bunch of tall spikes but I caught her just in time, a small spike made a cut on my hand but I didn't care about that right now. If she dies I won't see my sister again. I pulled her up as fast as I could
"You okay?" I asked scanning for injuries as instinct
" Yeah. We need to get him down" Clarke said panting
"I'll climb up there and cut the vines" I offered
"No Nat. Stay with them, Murphy let's go" Finn ordered and I sighed and waited next to Clarke while they untied Jasper
" There's a poultice on his wound" Clarke commented bringing my attention back to Jasper's chest. That looks gross.
" Medicine? Why would they save his life just to string him up as live bait?" Wells asked. We need to get the hell out of here soon.
"Maybe what they're trying to catch likes its dinner to be breathing" Bellamy said
"Maybe what they're trying to catch is us." Finn said and  I felt how everyone tensed
"Maybe we should stop saying maybe"
"Hurry up, Murphy" I said. I know I could probably take on a grounder but I really don't wanna find out
"Be careful" Clarke called right before we heard distant growling
" What the hell was that?" Murphy asked his voice panicked as tried to locate whatever just growled
" Grounders?" Bellamy asked to no one in specific, then I saw it. Panther. We heard snarling, my eyes never left the panther, it was surrounding Bellamy and he didn't have his gun. How can someone be so idiotic to lose a gun? Out of nowhere Wells started shooting at the panther. God he is the worst shooter I've ever seen. Then the gun clicked, he wasted all the bullets. This idiot. I know either I take my gun out or Bellamy dies, so immediately I took it out and with one bullet to the head the panther fells to the floor dead. Damn I really am awesome. I walked over to Bellamy and held out my hand which he took immediately.
"Thanks" Bellamy said and I just nodded and we turned to the rest, they all had shocked expressions on their faces
"How did you get a gun?" Wells asked
"How do you know how to shoot a gun?" Clarke asked. The less you know, the better.
"That's none of your business"
"Why didn't you at least tell us you had it?" Clarke asked
"Why would I?" I asked and Clarke rolled her eyes
"We got food and Jasper. We should head back to camp" Finn said to which we all agreed to, the walk wasn't too long, I walked with Finn as he invaded me with questions I don't want to answer.
"Are you gonna answer any of my questions?" Finn asked
"Nah"
"Seriously?" Finn asked
"I will just not today okay?"
"Fine, but I will keep asking" Finn said
"Alright Flynn I got it" I said as we neared camp
"They're back!" A delinquent yelled
"Is he-" Monty started
"He's alive. I need boiled water and strips of cloth for bandage" Clarke interrupted as Bellamy and Murphy walked away with the dead panther
"Who's hungry?!" Bellamy exclaimed and the delinquents cheered, I just walked into my tent to rest not wanting to deal with what I knew he was about to do.

I feel like I'm writing horrible ending for most chapters on my books, I'm sorry I'm working on it though. Hope you liked the chapter ;)
