The First On The Ground

Reapercussions

(BELLAMY POV)

Finn is leading us through the forest with me and the others behind him.

"All right, Murphy. Where to now?" I ask Murphy.

"What say we lose these first, huh?" Murphy asks as he raises his cuffed hands.

"No. Again," I say.

"If we get attacked out here, I have nothing to defend myself with," Murphy says.

"I don't care," I state. Finn walks over and lets Murphy go.

"Thank you," Murphy says as Finn walks away.

"Hey," I say as I go after Finn. "What the hell are you doing?"

"It was your idea to bring him," Finn answers.

"Yeah, because he's the only one who's seen where the Grounders keep their prisoners," I explain.

"Then we probably shouldn't let him be defenseless out here. We can handle Murphy," Finn says.

"Better hope so," I say.

"So, do I get a gun now?" Murphy asks as he comes up beside me. I then shove him forward.

(AUGUST POV)

I'm sitting in the cave, cooking a rabbit that Roan had brought back before he left again. It's been about 30 minutes since he left. I start thinking about Bellamy and whether or not he is alive. If any of my people are alive. I get up and start packing my bag. I had to go to the dropship, no matter what Roan said.

"Where are you going?" Roan asks as I turn to go to the tunnel. I hadn't noticed he came back.

"I have to find my people," I say.

"Let me see your side," Roan says and I do as told. I drop my bag and turn to my side to face him. "It's healing well. Eat first for your strength then you can go later." I decide not argue or he may change his mind.

"Tell me about the bumps," I say as we eat.

"The bumps or scars are the number of lives that I have taken during battle," Roan explains.

"Even the ones on your face?" I ask.

"The ones on my face are the markings of Azgeda," Roan answers.

"So Trigeda, has the tattoos or ink markings?" I ask and he nods. "Do you know how to do that?" He nods again. "Do you have the stuff to do it now?"

"Yes. What's with the interest of the clan markings?" Roan asks.

"I want the ink. I want it as a reminder that I am not only from the sky but a part of the ground as well," I answer. "So will you do it or not?" Roan stands and goes to his bag.

"Where do you want it?" Roan asks.

(BELLAMY POV)

"Everybody down. Down," Murphy says as we arrive at the grounder camp and he shoves me down. "This is it. Told you I'd find it." I look through the scope on the rifle.

"See nothing but Grounders. Our people aren't here," I say as Finn grabs Sterling's rifle.

"Wait a minute. They've got stuff from our dropship," Finn explains and I look through the scope again.

"So, maybe they know where our friends are," I say.

"Or maybe they killed them already," Murphy says.

"Son of a bitch," Finn states.

"What is it?" I ask as I look through the scope again.

"The guy with the one eye," Finn says and I find the guy with one I through the scope. "Around his neck."
