I ran. Monty and Octavia ran in front of me and I can hear Clarke and Finn behind me. We ran for a good ten minutes when suddenly Monty trips and falls in front of us. Finn and Octavia help him up and I notice what he tripped over... It was a freaking human bone!!!

"Oh this just keeps getting worse" I gasp, trying to catch my breath.

"Who are they?" Finn asks.

Clarke picks up the skull but it doesn't completely look like a human skull. "What are they?"

"We are so screwed" Octavia says as she holds onto Monty's arm. Clarke looks back down at the skull and a scream rips through the forest, coming from the way we come from. "Jasper" I say quietly.
"He's alive" Clarke says as she takes of running the way we came. We all take off behind her, only stopping when we reach the edge of the trees. Clarke goes to go out of the trees so Finn grabs hold of her and says ""Clarke, wait. Wait! Wait. Stay under the trees."

Right across the river where we last saw Jasper is completely empty. His body is gone. "He was right there." Finn says."

"No. Where is he?" Monty asks with a complete look of devastation on his face.

"They took him" Clarke states.

"Come on. We should head back to camp." I say as I turn around and start heading back. I can hear the others following behind me.

As we get back to camp I can hear a lot of yelling coming from camp. When the camp finally comes in to view, Wells has Murphy in a choke hold, holding a knife to his throat. What the hell is going on?

"Wells! Let him go!" Clarke yells as she walks over to them. Wells drops Murphy to the ground and takes a couple of steps away from him. Murphy jumps back up and tries to attack Wells but Bellamy gets in the way, pushing Murphy back. "Enough, Murphy."

I help Octavia over a fallen tree. She has her arm wrapped around Monty and he lifts her up a bit to help her as well. Bellamy must have noticed us then because he comes running over to us. "Octavia. Are you all right?" He says as he takes her from us and sets her down on the other side of the log. She replies with a quick "Yeah."

Bellamy turns to us and asks "Where's the food?"

"We didn't make it to Mount Weather." I say as I take a seat next to Finn.

"What the hell happened out there?" Bellamy demands to know as he looks at me. I'm not the one who answers him though, Clarke is, "We were attacked."

"Attacked? By what?" Wells asks.

Finn decides to speak up from next to me, "Not what. Who. It turns out, when the last man from the ground died on the Ark, he wasn't the last Grounder."

Bellamy glances in my direction as he places his hand on Octavia's arm. He has a worried look on his face.

"It's true. Everything we thought we knew about the ground is wrong. There are people here, survivors." Clarke tells everyone. The group of teenagers around us all start to murmur and whisper. Clarke ignores them and continues to speak "The good news is, that means we can survive. Radiation won't kill us."

"Yeah, the bad news is the Grounders will." Finn finishes for her.

"Where's the kid with the goggles?" Wells asks as he takes a look around and notices that Jasper isn't with us.

"Jasper was hit. They took him." I say solemnly. Clarke suddenly grabs onto Wells wrist and asks "Where is your wristband?"

Wells shrugs her off and says "ask him" as he turns towards Bellamy. Oh god, they can't honestly think taking their wristbands off is a good idea. How else will the ark know that we're alive?
