"How's he doing?" I ask as I climb up the ladder and into the second level of the drop ship.

Clarke glances over at me as she says "his pulse is 380."

I make my way over and take a seat next to Monty. Jasper start moaning again. Someone yells up from the first level, telling us to shut him up.

Clarke pushes the hair off of his face. "Don't listen to them. You're gonna make it through this, ok? Promise."

Someone else decides to yell from the bottom level "Can he just die already?" Clarke completely ignores them and says "I'm gonna get clean water. Grace? Can you come sit with him and keep an eye on him."

"Yea, no problem." I get up and go sit by his head where Clarke was moments before. Clarke makes her way down the ladder. Monty looks up as Jasper starts moaning even louder than before. "He'll be alright. He's made it this long. He's past the worst of it." I try to reassure Monty but the look on his face tells me that my words bring no comfort to him what so ever.

"I'll feel better when he wakes up" He says as he go backs to working on the wrist band he has in front of him. He's still trying to figure out a way for us to get in communication with the ark but no such luck yet. If anyone can figure it out, it's going to be Monty.

The following morning I make my way towards Murphy as he fails yet again to land his knife in the tree. He's been trying for the last 20 minutes and has gotten it yet. Bellamy is leaning against the tree watching Murphy fail. Jasper lets out a moan as he throw again and fails. "That damn kid, always messing with my head."

"That's a pretty poor excuse" I tell him as I pick up the knife he had just thrown. I make my way over to them and pass the knife back to Murphy.

"Baby" Bellamy greets me as he stands up straight with an axe in his hand. I have to admit, I am still not use to the nickname. It takes me a moment to realise he is talking to me. Murphy give me a side glance when Bellamy calls me that.

"He's not gonna last much longer. Better think of a new excuse." Bellamy informs Murphy as he pulls his arm back, throwing the axe at the tree. It hits the target and sticks, "That's how it's done."

Atom and one of the other guys walk over to us. "We searched a half-mile all directions. No sign of Trina or Pascal" Atom says.

"Visit your special tree when you were out there?" Murphy says just to be an asshole. I elbow him in the ribs to get him to shut up. He looks down at me with a 'what' look on his face, meeting my eye. I just sigh and look away from him.

Bellamy notices the little exchange between me and murphy but he doesn't comment on it. Which I'm glad about. I really don't want to have to deal with that.

"Atom took his punishment. Let it go." Bellamy says, glancing between me and Murphy. Atom just continues on like nothing is happening, "Could be Grounders."

"Yeah, or they could be in pound town. Lot of that going around recently." Murphy says, looking back at me, probably trying to get a reaction. I ignore him, hoping no one else takes any notice of his comment. Bellamy shakes his head and goes and pulls his axe out of the tree. Atom turns to face him and takes a couple of steps towards him "Look, Bellamy, people are scared, and that dying kid, he's not helping the morale around here."

"Morale will go up when I find them more food."

"And what do we say when they ask about Trina and Pascal?" says the guy who I have no idea who he is. I should really start paying attention to people's names.
