"I worry there is something broken in our generation; there are so many sad eyes on happy faces"

chapter three: saudade

I SKIDDED TO A HALT AT THE EDGE OF THE CLEARING, Finn and Clarke carried a limping Octavia.

"What the hell happened? I told you guys not to let anything happen to her." Bellamy spat, he marched towards Octavia to check her wound.

"Bell I'm okay, Evie saved me." Octavia said, Bellamy looked over at me with a blank face.

"We're not alone. We were attacked by someone, they speared Jasper in the chest." Clarke revealed, several gasps were heard in reply.

"What do you mean somebody attacked you?" Murphy questioned.

"Someone threw a spear at Jasper just as we had found Mount Weather, it's not exactly rocket science." I pointed out.

Murphy rolled his eyes while Bellamy ordered Octavia to sit down as he bandaged her leg.

"You okay?" Judah asked as he appeared next to me, I nodded but he soon saw my leg and became unconvinced.

"Your leg, what happened out there?" I watched as he grabbed some bandages from the pile beside Bellamy and started to roll the leg of my jeans up.

Blood oozed from a deep bite mark above my ankle, I hissed as he cleaned it with a cloth. He wrapped the bandage securely around my leg making sure to put the leftover bandages away.

"There, good as new." Judah grinned.

"Thanks," I replied.

"We need to go back out there for Jasper, he's alive." Clarke stated.

She stepped towards Bellamy while everyone watched, a serious expression on her face.

"You're coming with us," Clarke demanded.

"Why would I do that?" Bellamy shot back.

"You have a gun. Besides, you want them to think that only one of us is scared." Clarke said, a smirk fell across my lips.

"Fine, Murphy you're with me." Bellamy grumbled.

"I'm coming too." Octavia suggested as she tried to stand.

"No, you're staying here. Atom watch her and don't let anything happen to her." Bellamy warned, I watched Atom's tall frame as he took a seat beside Octavia.

I walked beside Judah, his hands were stuffed into the pockets of his black jacket. Wells moped at the back of the group behind Bellamy and Murphy. Clarke was at the head of the group, she was trying to find our way back to the river to see if there was any trace of Jasper.

"What's the rush, nobody survives a spear to the chest." Bellamy called, I turned to face Bellamy and Murphy with a scowl.

"Jasper's alive, we heard him scream." I deadpanned, Bellamy reached forward and grabbed my wrist.

"Well, we can get moving once you take this off." Bellamy said a smirk on his face.

"Go to hell," I snarled as I yanked my wrist from his grasp.

"Brave buttercup." Bellamy commented which caused me to roll my eyes.

"What about you princess, feel like giving up your wristband yet?" Murphy shouted to Clarke.

Clarke stamped up to Bellamy and Murphy with a glare.

"The only way the Ark is going to think I'm dead is if I'm actually dead, got that?" Clarke sneered.
