"Is he?" Monty scrambled towards the group as the walked through the gates. Wells and Finn were carrying Jasper, while Murphy and Bellamy had the panther wrapped up and trailing behind the rest. Brigid looked over at Jasper. He hasn't woken up yet, but he was still breathing and honestly, that's all she cared about. Brigid exhaled with a smile creeping up on her lips, "He's alive."

Monty let his head fall back in relief, "Oh thank god." Brigid rubbed his shoulder lightly but a scowl formed on his face, "I should have been there... With you guys."

Brigid shook her head, her red hair falling into her eyes. The darkness enveloped their entire camp, only a fire pit illuminated the sky. "Jasper will understand why you stayed, we needed you here, Monty."

"Callie?" She turned around to find Miller making his way towards her, with three guys following him. She recognized John Mbege, he was Murphy's little lap dog and followed him around everywhere. But she couldn't remember the other two. They both were about the same height, towering over the short redhead. The one beside Mbege had dark brown hair that was cut short, styled upwards in the front with matching dark eyes. He gave her a wide smile, his lips curving and white teeth on full display. While the other boy had light brown hair that was cut short, but with small curls. His bright blue eyes stood out against his pale complexion, and he had a strong jawline.

Nate pulled Brigid into a hug, which she embraced wholeheartedly. Closing her eyes for a second and wrapping both of her arms around his neck. "Nate," She whispered against his skin, a relieved tone lacing her voice. Once they pulled away, she glanced over his shoulder at his three friends. "Well? You gonna introduce me or what?"

John Mbege stepped forward, and taking the first initiative. "I'm Mbege. And this is Jace and that's Shanks." He pointed at the dark haired boy and then the blued eyed brunette, introducing them, respectively. She gave a small nod towards both of the guys, who returned the notion.

Miller reached out and grabbed her hand and she looked over towards him, "Did everything go okay? We didn't have the chance to talk when you came back earlier? What happened to the kid?"

Brigid shook her head, "Don't worry about that. I'm back, and I'm fine." She let out a deep breath, trying to erase the images of her shooting that animal out of her mind.

"Who's hungry?" Bellamy's strong voice boomed across the camp and everyone erupted into a fit of cheers. Mbege started clapping, talking about how brave Bellamy was. Brigid rolled her eyes but Nate caught on and arched an eyebrow at the redhead, "He's acting like he killed the damn thing."

Jace sidled up beside her with arms crossed, "Well didn't he?"

The redhead turned towards him and shook her head, "I guess we'll never know." She turned around on her heel and headed towards the Dropship. She needed to check on Jasper. As she was walking up the ramp, she noticed that Clarke was still standing there and staring out at the crowd. The blonde caught her friend's eyes, "Is he going to be okay?"

Clarke offered a small but not encouraging smile, "I'll try my best." They both walked into the Dropshop and climbed up the ladder to where Wells and Finn had taken him on the top floor. Monty was sitting beside him.

Brigid rushed forward, sitting on the ledge of the table and picking up a wet rag and started wiping the dirt off of his face. There was dirt and blood stained onto his pale skin, and he looked a bit feverish. But once he felt her touch he let out a low hum and a smile presented itself on his face. Monty muffled a laugh, "He isn't even awake and he's still in love with you."

Brigid ran her fingers through his fluffy hair, leaning down and whispering softly to him, "You're gonna be alright. You hear me? Clarke is gonna fix ya right on up."
