Chapter 3

I slowly sit up as voices fill my senses. I open my eyes and let out a low yawn. "Morning." Clarke looks down at me and smiles a warm smile. "Good morning." I return a smile before standing up. The cool air fills my lungs as I breath in. "We ready to leave?" I ask them while rolling my shoulders back. They nod. "We were waiting for everyone to get some rest. You looked like you needed it." Finn zips up his jacket. I nod and step forward before stepping towards the red ember in the dim campfire. I step on the ember and gently slide my boot, putting it out.  "Lets move then." I say waiting for them to start moving. The group heads towards the direction of the drop ship after a bit of waking up.

I skip towards Monty and Octavia. I gently grab Octavia's left arm and lift it over my shoulder to help her balance with Monty. "How are you two holding up?" I look at the two with a tight smile. "Well I feel like shit. I just wish we could have done something." Octavia says while Monty stays silent and stares ahead. I nod. "We CAN do something Octavia. We will find him. Stay strong for him." I say as I look at her. Octavia looks at me and smiles slightly. "It's hard to stay strong for someone when that someone is in pain.." She says before turning away from me. A low breath escapes my parted lips. "I understand. I'm going to go ahead and scout ahead. Monty you got it?" I step forward. Monty nods without saying a word. I nod back before gently lifting O's arm away from my neck and setting it down. I walk past Finn and Clarke and take a deep breath as the camp comes into view. "We're here." I say shrugging, surprised that the walk was actually pretty quick. The others catch up to me quickly as I walk past the trees and into the open. I hear roars from the delinquents and roll my eyes before running to  investigate. I get there in time to see Murphy getting his ass beat by Wells. About time. I shake my head until I notice a knife being held at Murphys neck. "OH..shit." I begin to jog towards the two. "HEY! WELLS!" I call to Wells hoping he'd drop the blade. Clarke runs with Finn behind her. "Wells drop it." Clarke steps forward. Wells pushes Murphy back and growls. As Murphy turns to attack Wells again, Bellamy jumps in getting between the two. "Murphy. Enough." He barks at him before turning to his injured Sister. "Octavia!" He lets go of Murphy and runs to help his sister.   Clarke runs to Wells and  examines him.  I Turn to Octavia and her brother and furrow my eyebrows. "Where's the food?" Bellamy looks up at us. "We didn't make it in time." Finn says. "We were attacked." I add. "By what?" Bellamy looks up at me.  "Not what. Who. We also don't know, but whoever they are, they took Jasper. We need to get him back." I say while looking at his worried expression. "What happened to O?" He hovers his hand over the bite wound on her thigh. "She was attacked in the water by some giant mutant like creature." I shrug. He stands up and growls. "She saved me from the creature. They all did. Haven jumped into the water to pull me back. I wouldn't be here if she hadn't jumped in the water." Octavia stands up with her limp. Bellamy looks down at her before turning back to face me. "So you're telling me there are others out there?"  Finn stands up. "Yeah. Turns out, when the last man from the ground died on the Ark, he wasn't the last Grounder." Finn says calmly. Clarke nods. "It's true. Everything we thought we knew about the ground is wrong. There are people here, survivors. The good new is, that means we can survive. Radiation won't kill us." "Yeh, the bad news is the Grounders will." Finn adds. "The boy with the goggles was taken?" Wells looks to me then to Clarke. Clarke lets out a low breath before turning her attention to Wells. "Yes..Hey. Where's your wrist band?" She quickly grabs his arm and examines it. Wells pulls his arm from her and turns to Bellamy. "Ask him." He growls. I gasp and turn to Bellamy. "How many?" I glare at him. "Twenty-four and counting." Murphy speaks behind me. I  look at him and roll my eyes. "Ugh you uneducated sack of potatoes. Life support on the Ark is failing...That's why they brought us down here. They need to know the ground is survivable again,  and we need their help against whoever is out there. If you take your wristbands off, you're not just killing them, You're killing us!" I finally say clearly upset.  I turn to Bellamy and glare at him looking at his smug grin.
