Survival

Chapter 3: A Twisted Society

I woke to someone touching my shoulder. It had been three days since we had found Jasper. His condition had hardly changed. I had hardly left that floor. I was keeping away from Bellamy because I couldn't bare to look at him. Finn had come up at some point during the next and took over from me, allowing me to get some sleep in the corner. I jumped awake, thinking it might've been Bellamy but saw Clarke looking down at me. "You alright?" She asked me, noticing how jumpy I seemed. I sat up and stretched my arms out.

"Yeah, I'm good." I told her. She smiled at me but it quickly disappeared when she looked down at my wrist.

"What happened to your wristband?" She questioned me, from behind I saw Finn walk over to see what was going on. I looked down at my wrist and groaned.

"Bellamy...he and the others they held me down."I started, remember the events of the night. A wave of realisation seemed to hit her.

"That's what all that was about a couple nights ago. Bellamy and Mbege, that was you?" She asked me. I nodded, knowing no doubt she didn't approve. She nodded and her head and shrugged.

"They deserved it." She remarked. A smile formed on my face.

"Yeah." I agreed. There was a loud moan from behind Clarke and I shot to my feet. "He made it through another night?" I asked in shock. Monty looked up from Jasper and smiled over at me.

"Yup. He may not look like it, but he's a fighter." Monty explained to me.

"Yeah but he's still no where near through the woods." Clarke brought as all back to Earth. Suddenly the latch door opened and Bellamy's head appeared. I had such an urge to just kick the door shut, decapitating him, but I thought that was a bit extreme.

"Hey you guys, have-" Bellamy paused when he saw me, then looked away to the rest of the group. "Have you guys seen either Trina and Pascal recently?" He asked us. I looked around and everyone shook their heads. "Great." Bellamy said, more to himself than anymore else. "Anyway, we're going on a hunting trip, I need one of you guys."

"I'll go." Clarke offered but sighed.

"No, no, you guys stay here in case your friend wakes up." I cut in before Finn was about to offer, I turned to Bellamy. "I'll go." My voice had gone bitter. He nodded slightly and retreated down the ladder. I took a deep breath and followed him. When I surfaced from the dropship he was waiting for me. I could tell he was on edge, as he should be. I glared at him but didn't say anything. He had gathered a small group together me being the only girl unsurprisingly.

"Right, well lets get going." Bellamy said to us, walking passed me and into the woods. I waited for most of the group to go and followed behind. They all had different forms of weapons, mainly different lengths of knives they had made. Bellamy had somehow found himself an axe, making him the winner of most impressive weapon. I felt my face scowl and it stayed that way for a while.

We were out for hours before we actually even saw anything. There were hardly any animals about and I was beginning to doubt we'd ever find anything. Suddenly I heard something in the distance, so did the rest. We split up slightly, ready to surround it. We crept closer and closer until I managed to spot it. It was a bore. I moved towards it slightly but Bellamy stopped me. "This one's mine." He whispered. I rolled my eyes but stopped moving. He stepped towards it, raising his axe. Suddenly a twig snapped behind us and he spun around, throwing the axe at the sound. I heard a small yelp and saw a girl duck behind a tree as the axe smashed into it. The bore started to run but some of the boys managed to followed it. I turned to the girl who looked around thirteen.

"Who the hell are you?" I asked her. She looked up at me, obviously terrified.

"Charlotte." She answered me. I walked towards her and Bellamy followed.
