We began to walk away from the camp; into the world unknown. Risking our lives to make sure the others, who were to far up Bellamy's ass to think about what's really going on, survive. How dangerous could this world really be? I look around to see how beautiful all the flowers and trees are. The light illuminated the forest makes everything seems so unreal. I've been walking next to the two boys, I now know as Monty and Jasper, watching as spacewalker, aka Finn, takes a pretty purple flower from a fallen tree and turns to place it into Octavia's hair.

"Now that ,my friend, is game." Jasper says while leaning back to us.

"That, my friend, is Poison Sumac." Monty retaliates causing Octavia to swat the flower out of her hair as quickly as it was put in. "The flowers aren't poisonous. They're medicinal, calming, actually." He says while holding a flower in his hand. Everyone looking back curious as to how he would know that.

"His family grows all the pharmaceuticals on the Ark."Jasper says clearing the confusion. Clarke, the princess, turns around annoyed with all of the small talk that is going on. Her main mission just wanting to get to Mount Weather.

"Hey, guys, would you try to keep up?" Clarke's expressions raised and irritated brow at how distracted we were getting. I understood how much pressure she must feel to try to get the food back to the camp as soon as possible.

"Come on, Clarke. How do you block all this out?" Finn chimes. His hands point to all around him where the beautiful forest lays.

"Well, it's simple. I wonder, "Why haven't we seen any animals?'" Her point clear. Not a single animal has crossed our path since we've been here. "Maybe, it's because there are none. Maybe we've already been exposed to enough radiation to kill us. Sure is pretty, though. Come on." Her back turn towards us and trudges ahead. Once out of ear shot Octavia leans over to the remaining four.

"Someone should slip her some Poison Sumac. " Making all of us laugh. The conversation continues as Finn begins the confession stage. Learning what Monty and Jasper got locked up for was quite the moment. Getting in trouble for getting high, what a way to go. Once their little dispute over how many times one needed to apologies was over it was my turn.

"So, Grace, what did you do to get thrown in jail?" Monty asks.

"I was," Hesitant to tell them afraid they might see me differently." Accused for attacking and almost killing a guard." I look up, everyone a bit shocked that I could do such a thing. "I promise that I didn't actually do it. I wasn't even the one who attacked him." Their eyes softened a bit realizing that I didn't actually do it. Sent down on a 'might be' suicide mission just to see if Earth was survivable.

"Well... how about you, Octavia? What's they get you for?" Jasper says trying to breaking the tension. Octavia's expressions harden as she quickens her pace to where Clarke is bent down.

"Being born." She says over her shoulder.

"That is not game." Monty teases Jasper. Turning and lightly slapping Monty, Jasper started a small smacking game. I swear these two act like little kids. They stop once they see that everyone else is gathering around Clarke. I look to where Clarke points and see a deer just sitting there eating. So in awe I barely see Finn move forward. Not paying attention Finn's foot stepped on a twig snapping it. The noise echoed through out the small opening causing the Creature to look up frightened. It wasn't the fact that the deer looked up that shocked me it was the fact that it had two faces. A bloody streak separating them. The longer I looked at it the more I felt the need to gag. The sight didn't last long as it darted back into the radiation soaked forest.
