They walked in silence together, listening to the conversations around them. Neither spoke since both kept a close eye on the woods around them. Each had their guns out and ready, sweeping the area for threats. It didn't take them long to push through the group and end up in the middle.

"You know the first thing I'm gonna do when I get to the beach?" Miller asked Drew up ahead of them.

"No, what?"

"I am going surfing." Miller replied confidently. Jamie snorted in doubt and grinned at Bellamy when he looked down at her.

"Quiet, keep your eyes open." Jasper reminded the two, directly in front of Jamie, moving his own gun around them.

"No more woods. Hear the ocean. No damn trees, just pale blue water." Drew threw over his shoulder at Jasper.

Jasper rolled his eyes at Jamie and she just shrugged at him with a playful grin. She made sure to keep an eye on Octavia, who was walking at the front. As she watched, Octavia held her hand up, stopping the group. Jamie glanced at Bellamy and both moved closer to the front, to Octavia with Jasper shadowing them.

Jasper, still looking around asked, "what is it?"

They stood silent for a few moments before Jasper added, "I don't see anything." And they all continued to search the woods around them.

Jamie turned to Jasper as he spoke and saw a metal weapon launch through the air and lodge itself in Drew's face. Everyone watched as the boy fell to the ground, lifeless. Jasper staggered back into Jamie with wide, frightened eyes. "Grounders!" He shouted, causing all the delinquents to scatter. Jamie wrapped her arm around the boy and forced him behind her, pushing him towards camp. "Run Jazz!" She shouted, pushing him more forcefully away from danger.

Everyone turned back to retreat to camp in a panic and Jamie held back to make sure everyone made it back safely. Bellamy stood by the gates, ushering people in frantically trying to get everyone inside. "Move, move, move!"

Jasper ran faster than the majority of the group and made his way to the wall as a lookout. "I don't see anyone!"

Octavia replied to him as soon as she ran into the camp, in the thick of the group. "They're right behind us! Go! Go!"

Jamie's eyes searched the area as she ran behind the last few campers, pushing everyone towards the gates. "Hurry!"

"Behind the wall!" Octavia yelled out, turning to usher more frantic people inside.

Finn had ditched the stretcher and was carrying Raven with another boy's help, right in front of Jamie, they were among the last delinquents to go through. "Close the gate! Close the gate!" Finn yelled out, just as they were close enough.

Bellamy's eyes met Jamie's as she ran in and he grabbed her arm and pulled her up on the wall beside him with his gun trained on the woods. "Where are they?" He asked breathlessly, pulling her closer to him.

She pulled her gun up as well, glancing down as Octavia and Finn helped to close the gates. Her eyes returned to the perimeter and she shook her head as Clarke climbed up beside her.
