Prisoner 83 | the 100

chapter four

Monty looked to Hazel who was trying her best not to have a panic attack. The boy placed a hand on her uninjured arm, "Hey, you okay?" The average height male immediately suspected something was wrong when he noticed the amount of perspiration conspiring on the dirty blonde's forehead and the paling of her skin. Monty was quick to recognize her sudden symptoms because he remembered feeling and looking the same way after a bad batch of herb.

She closed her eyes briefly and gave him a small nod. "Two dead. Two wounded. Jasper might be dead. And everyone else is having a free-for-all, fighting over dumb things and acting like children. So, yeah. I'm fine, everything's fine." Hazel obviously was far from being fine.

He nodded slowly, using the "teenage girl" excuse for her weird behavior, before making his way to the dropship. Everyone else had scattered and Hazel had no choice but to join Monty and Clarke in the metal contraption. As she reached it, so did Finn. She gave him a small smile as they both entered to hear Clarke giving Monty a short speech.

"You're too important. You were raised on Farm Station and recruited by engineering."

Monty did not look pleased. "So?" He wanted to be a part of the rescue crew to find Jasper, but Hazel understood Monty's value and why he could not go with them.

Clarke continued softly, "So food and communication. What's up here," she pointed to his brain, "it's gonna save us all. You figure out how to talk to the Ark and I'll bring Jasper back." She turned to notice the half siblings had entered. "Hey. You two ready?"

"We're not going anywhere," Finn gestured to Hazel and himself, ignoring the dangerous look he was receiving from his older sister, "and neither should any of you. That spear was thrown with pinpoint accuracy from 300 feet."

Clarke was surprised by Finn's reaction, "So what, we let Jasper die? That's not gonna happen. Spacewalker? What a joke. You think you're such an adventurer. You're really just a coward."

Hazel looked away awkwardly and made eye contact with Monty who pulled a face that she believed was supposed to be making fun of Clarke's and Finn's stare off. "It's not an adventure, Clarke, it's a suicide mission." The blonde did not appreciate his negativity so she pushed passed him and walked out of the dropship.

"I cannot believe you," Hazel growled as she took a page out of the blonde's book and shoved passed her half brother to go outside. Even though she was injured, Hazel was not going to let one of their own die out there. As soon as she left the dropship, she noticed Clarke marching over to the Blake siblings.

"What the hell was it?" Hazel heard Bellamy ask his sister. If only they knew. . .

Octavia shrugged as she winced in pain, "I don't know. The others said it looked like a giant snake." The siblings were examining the three cuts on her thigh, grimacing at the raw skin around them that looked to be swelling more and more by the minute.

Bellamy scowled at his younger sister, "You could have been killed." He obviously was frustrated with himself for letting Octavia go in the first place.

"Both her and Hazel would have been if Jasper didn't jump in to pull them out," Clarke interrupted the siblings as she walked up to them with Hazel only being a couple of paces behind her.

Octavia went to stand as she deemed the determined looks on their faces meant they were going after Jasper, "You guys leaving? I'm coming, too."

At the same time, Bellamy and Hazel protested. They looked at each other weirdly before turning back to the situation at hand. Hazel knew that the male Blake only cared for his sister's safety and she agreed. It would not do anyone well to have Octavia coming with them. They did not want her injure herself any further, whether it was her fault or not. Bellamy continued on to argue, "No, no. No way. Not again."
