Three days later Rory and a few other delinquents stand on the edge of camp throwing their makeshift weapons at the trees, Rory giving them all pointers as she's a natural. She's an expert at landing the knives dead centre in the tree trunk and hasn't missed one shot that she has taken, Murphy couldn't exactly say the same. A loud moan of pain and discomfort echoes through camp just as Murphy tries again to get his knife to stick in the tree.
"That damn kid, always messing with my head." Murphy mutters in frustration, pointing at the dropship where Jasper is still being held. It has been three days since they had all rescued him from being live bait and his condition hadn't improved at all.
"He's not gonna last much longer. Better think of a new excuse." Bellamy replies getting ready to throw his axe at the tree.
"Screw you Bellamy." Rory hisses out, folding her arms and glaring at him for saying that because Bellamy knows that she thinks there is a serious chance Jasper could still die from his injuries.
Ever since the two of them had had their talk the night Jasper got back to camp they had started to stay up talking each night, catching up on the time they lost on the Ark and discussing their situation on Earth. They watched over the camp until most people had fallen asleep and then did one last check of the camp before parting ways. Rory had confessed to Bellamy her worries about Jasper and how she hated lying to Monty.
Bellamy ignores Rory's comment and aims his axe, releasing it once his is ready and watching it soar through the air. The axe sinks deeply into the bark of the tree, the metal of it clanging as it does so. "That's how it's done." Bellamy says, a smirk forming on his face which only widens as he looks over at Rory who has an impressed look on her face.
Atom and another of the delinquents walk back into camp and head straight for the rest of their group. Two of the delinquents had been missing for a day or so now and so Bellamy and Rory had ordered a small search party to go out and find them.
"We searched a half-mile all directions. No sign of Trina or Pascal." Atom says as he reaches Rory and Bellamy. Rory shakes her head in disappointment, if they are out alone there is no telling what the grounders would do to them if they saw them.
Murphy walks over to collect his knife from the base of the tree and as he passes Atom he gets up in his face. "Visit your special tree when you were out there?"
"Screw you Murphy." Rory says, glaring at Murphy's back as he bends down to grab the knife off the floor.
"Atom took his punishment. Let it go." Bellamy calls out, making Murphy roll his eyes.
"Could be Grounders." Atom says quietly, looking between Rory and Bellamy. The two leaders glance at each other, having a silent conversation.
