Chapter 2: earth skills

Things began to spiral out of control the moment that the small group of teenage delinquents saw Jasper being stabbed in the chest with a spear by an unseen opportune in the trees as Finn tried his best to protect both Clarke and Rowan while Monty did the same with Octavia since none of them really knew what else to do as this was all new to them after living on the ark for so long where the biggest danger was of being floated into space for the smallest of things like trying to save someone's life. The five of them couldn't stop staring at how helpless Jasper and how much pain he looked in as Finn and Monty realised that they had to leave this part of the woods as soon as possible and head back to their camp site as they began drag Octavia and Clarke along with them before they realised that Rowan wasn't with them as well as was reluctant to move away from her hiding spot as she watched Jasper desperate to go and help him. Finn decided to go back to grab Rowan before she did something stupid like going to get Jasper and getting stabbed herself in the process since he knew her all too well

" Rowan! Come on...We got to go! Clarke" Finn said as he grabbed Rowan by the hand to drag her through the woods as he urged both her and Clarke to keep moving as Monty fell

" Monty, get up! Please, come" Octavia said as she helped Monty to his feet knowing that they had to get as far as they could as Monty realised that he had fallen over a pile of rotten bones

" Oh god, this just gets worse doesn't it?" Rowan said trying to catch her breath as she pushed the falling hair of her face as she began to kneel down to check out the bones

" Who are they?" Finn said kneeling beside Rowan who was examining the bones for a cause of death as Clarke noticed something off about the bones themselves especially the head

" I think you mean what are they?" Clarke said showing them the weird shaped skull as Rowan took it due to fascination since it was completely different from a normal human skull

" These bones are really old but I don't know... I don't..." Rowan said panicking slightly as she tried to think about all the possibilities concerning the people who survived the bombings

" We are so screwed" Octavia said joining Rowan in on her panic as she realised that they had no idea what to do right now or how to handle the grounders as they suddenly heard Jasper scream

" Jasper...He's alive" Clarke said as she looked around the face of their small group especially to Monty who was looking paler before and was struggling to breathe after hearing his friend

" we have to go back, we have to save him" Rowan said looking to Clarke as they both had the same thought as they decided to head back to where they were in order get Jasper back

" Clarke, wait. Wait! Rowan! Wait!... Stay out of the trees, both of you" Finn said catching up to them as he pulled both of them down before one of them got hurt by the unknown attacker

" I don't get it, I mean he was right there. How could he not be there?" Rowan said noticing that Jasper was gone as she began to wonder how he could have moved with a spear in his chest

" wait, where is he?" Monty said worried about his best friend as he began to wonder where he was and what was happening to him as they all began to look around for signs of Jasper

" They took him, the grounders took him" Clarke said knowing that was the only real possibility as she realised that they knew nothing about these people or the culture they had created

" we should head back to camp, at least to grab supplies and more people " Rowan said still determined to come back and look for Jasper rather than admitting defeat on finding him
