"We're going to Sector 7!" Bellamy smiled at me, "You coming or what?"
"Hell yeah I am!" I replied, jumping onto Monty's back, "Come on Monty, are you ready?"
"I am... he's not." He scoffed, pointing behind him.
Jasper laid there, drunk... again. Ever since Mount Weather, more specifically Maya's death, he had begun drinking every single night and not stopping. We all made contact with one another and decided to force him to tag along. We slammed his body onto the new rover we had, but I got yelled at for it.
"Hey! Take it easy!" Raven smiled, emerging from underneath.
"Where's Octavia?" Monty asked.
I laughed and shook my head, "We're going outside of camp, do you really think she would miss this?"
I hopped into the driver seat as the door opened. There she was, beautiful as ever.
"Try to keep up!" Octavia winked.

Being as it was a long ride, we let Jasper hook up some music. Within minutes, we all were jamming and singing at the top of our lungs. Our party was ruined when one of our radars started to beep.
"A beacon from the ark!" Monty leaped in excitement. "What station?"
"Farm station..." I sighed, looking at him and Miller.
"Protocol says we go home and let the Chancellor decide." Raven advised.
"Farm station is Monty's family... Miller's boyfriend is there too." I sighed.
"Screw protocol!" Bellamy ordered.
"Alright, so why are we still sitting here?" I smiled, looking to Octavia, "Try to keep up!"
We drove until we made it to a woodland border that we assumed to be the Azgeda border. I was the only one to notice that Raven was slow on her leg. I aimed a gun as Monty said they were getting closer.
"What are you doing? They're our people?" Monty stated.
"No, we HOPE they are our people." I snapped, aiming again.
We all prepared for something to pop up, and eventually 3 grounders rode up on horseback. White face paint... meaning Ice Nation. Not long into the interaction, Jasper was being held with a knife to his neck. The only difference was, I think he enjoyed it as the smile on his face grew larger. The grounder mumbled something in their language and slowly began to cut Jasper's neck. On instinct, I pulled the trigger and sent a bullet into the grounder's arm in order to get Jasper free. I had no intention of killing him. Not a moment later, the other two were dead on the ground and the one I had shot was up on his feet.
"Jasper, get down!" Octavia shouted, throwing her sword.
The blade landed perfectly in the grounder's chest and the rest of us ran to Jasper's aid.
"We need to get him back to Abby." I stated, wrapping something to apply pressure.
"Get him home!" Bellamy shouted, "Monty, you're with me."

We made it back and I hopped off the horse to assist Jasper.
"Jasper's hurt, what took you so long!" Octavia shouted as Abby and Jackson made their way over.
"What happened?" Abby questioned, looking at me.
"Ice Nation..." I sighed.
"Clarke?" She asked, hope filling her eyes.
I shook my head and watched her walk away, turning to Raven still on the horse.
"You can't get down, can you?" I asked.
She shook her head as a replied and I outstretched my arms as a signal to come down.
"Thanks." She stated.
"Raven..."
"I'm good." She snapped, walking off.
I took a deep breath and turned to see Octavia brushing off her horse. I whistled at her as I approached her.
"You continue to blow me away! You're probably the first sky grounder ever!" I teased.
"It isn't an act, Aiden. I'm not a 'sky grounder'." She snapped, "I am one of them, and this isn't my home."
"I mean home is wherever we are, right? As long as we're together?"
"This isn't home." She replied.
