A day had passed since the crash of the exodus ship. Clarke, Raven, Finn, Bellamy and a few others went to check out the crash sight. Stella decided against going.

Stella stayed back at camp with Octavia and the others. 

"Hey. No sign of your brother or the others yet." Monty tells the two girls as they walk past.

"Hey. I don't care." Octavia rolls her eyes. She was still upset with her brother and Jasper. Stella wasn't in the group of people she disliked thankfully. 

"Jasper, tell us again, how'd you stay so calm? I would've been terrified." Harper asks. 

Stella raised her eyebrows at Harper's sudden interest in Jasper.

"Fear is only a problem if you let it stop you, right?" Jasper chuckles. A group of delinquents stood huddled around him wanting to praise the camp 'hero'.

Octavia scoffed and tapped Stella's arm. "That's not even his line. Finn said that." Stella chuckled and shook her head.

"I saw the Grounders in the trees. It was like nothing I ever felt. You know, pure animal instinct took over. One pull of the trigger, two Grounders dead." 

Stella couldn't help but cringe at the boy. She shared a look with Octavia as they watched.

"'Pure animal instinct'? More like pure pant's-wetting panic." She giggled. Stella covered her mouth to hide her snicker.

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

"This is getting hard to watch." The blonde shook her head. Monty stepped up beside the two.

"Come on. Let us have this!" Monty groans. Octavia looks to him in confusion.

"Us?" Stella questions. "Look at him. The boy is a folk hero. They even gave us a bigger tent." Monty points to the large tent he had. 

To be fair it was bigger than the one Octavia and Stella shared.

"Somebody hit the trip wire!"

Stella and Octavia shot around to Connor who stood on a post.  

"Which wire?"

"Was it a Grounder?"

"I don't see anything."

"Are you sure it was the trip wire?"

Stella and Octavia grabbed guns and scurried over to the wall. 

"I got nothing. Connor?" Derek asks as he scans the area with his eyes.

"Nothing." Connor replies.

A delinquent pointed at something behind a tree. "Something moved."

Connor wasted no time firing several bullets. Stella's eyes widened as she jumped. "Hey! Stop! We don't have the bullets to waste!" She shouted. Connor stopped firing. Stella grabbed a gun and walked over to the entrance of camp.

Octavia followed. "Lincoln." She shared a horrified look with Stella. The two girls inched out of the camp. Stella held her gun tightly as she walked around.

"Hey, slow down. Be careful." Connor shouts from beside them. 

Stella grabbed Octavia's arm and pointed to a foot sticking out from behind a tree. Stella pushed Octavia behind her as she slowly stepped around the tree.

A shocked breath left her lips as she looked down at a beaten and dirty Murphy. "Oh my god. It's Murphy." She gasped.
