On the Ground

We are Grounders Pt.1

It was the middle of the night still. Murphy and I were both woken suddenly. Jasper ran into the tent, freaking out. "Y/N! Wake up!" He yelled. I blinked a few times, trying to figure out what was going on. Jasper was pacing now. "What? Whats going on?" I asked. Murphy was clutching my arm tightly. "Bellamy and Raven and Octavia are back, they found Myles. He said grounders took Clarke and Finn. But now Monty is gone too. He just stopped responding. They looked and looked but hes just not there." Jasper explained quickly. I got up, yanking on my boots and grabbing my jacket and gun. Murphy grabbed his shirt and yanked it on. "Go ahead." Murphy said. I followed Jasper from my tent. He went straight to Bellamy who was standing by the fire. "Myles is inside. Arrow to the leg." He told a girl, who had a bucket of water. He saw me and sighed. "Raven and Octavia will take care of Myles." He told me. Jasper put his hands in his hair and walked off. "I want to go out there." I told Bellamy. He shook his head. "Bellamy! That's our friends out there!" I said, getting louder. Bellamy glared at the sky. "You can't go alone." He said. I smirked. "Drew!" I yelled. He shot up from his seat by the drop ship. "Get Miller and your gun." I told him. He nodded and ran off.

I stood by the gate with my gun. Bellamy hadn't gone into full panic mode yet, but he was close. "Y/N?!" I heard. I turned and Murphy was running towards me. He looked panicky. "Where are you going?" He asked. I smiled. "I have to go look for them. Monty went out there unarmed, he could be hurt." I said, putting my hand on his cheek. He smiled and kissed me. He understood. Miller and Drew were on their way towards me. I hugged Murphy. "If you see Grounders, run like hell. Please, please be careful." He warned me. Miller looked over at the gate and then to me. "Go back to the tents. Don't get in trouble." I ordered Murphy. He winked and backed up. I grabbed my pack and gun and moved to Miller's side. My gun was at the ready. I looked behind me and saw a worried Bellamy glance at me. Miller nudged me and I followed him quietly, Drew walking behind me. We headed straight for now. We walked for maybe twenty minutes before Miller stopped. It was dark and completely quiet. Everywhere. I took a drink of water and we continued. Another 20 minutes of walking. I looked down at the ground, looking for any tracks. Anything at all. In a muddy patch I found boot prints. It looked to be about Monty's size. "Miller!" I whispered. He looked back and ran to my side. Drew backed up, looking around. I showed him the print. "Looks like Monty's." He agreed. This was insane. He had to be here. "Be ready for anything." I warned them. Drew and Miller looked at each other with wide eyes. "Monty?! Monty!!!" I yelled. Miller jumped at me. His hand flying over my mouth and bringing me to the ground. He reached back and yanked Drew down. I scanned the trees, the bushes, I listened for anything. Nothing. I felt a tear roll down my cheek. Monty was just gone. I didn't know where he could be. Miller wiped it away. "You are going to get us killed." He said. I frowned at him. "I'm sorry but its true, come on. We should go back. Its chilly anyways." Miller joked. He pulled me to my feet. I scanned the area again. "Come on." He said again, pulling my hand. We walked until we could see the camp. Harper was waiting at the wall for us. As soon as we entered, Jasper was there. He looked out behind us. I pulled him from the gate. "I'm sorry Jasper. They are out there and we will find them." I promised. Miller stood with us. "Yeah, she almost got us killed screaming Monty's name." He told Jasper. Jasper looked shocked but hugged me. "Ill tell Bellamy you guys are back." Jasper said, looking sad. I nodded and when he left I saw Murphy by the tents, waiting for me. Miller shouldered me and walked back towards the wall. Murphy pulled me into a hug. "Is what Miller said true?" He asked. I pulled back. "Yes. They are out there! They have to be. We found footprints." I told him. Murphy kissed my forehead. "That was a stupid thing to do babe." Murphy admitted. "I don't care." I said. Murphy smirked. "Thats why I love you." He said, leaning down to kiss me. We hadn't slept long before so I pulled Murphy to our tent. He looked exhausted still. As I was laying down, Murphy stopped me. "I love you. I just want you to know." He whispered. Confusion ran through my head. "John, I love you too. You know that." I said, smiling. Murphy wrapped his arms around me as I fell asleep.
