The camp didn't have a pleasant sleep the past three days. Jasper kept moaning in pain, making everyone annoyed or scared. Vince and Skylar kept checking on him every now and then, asking Clarke for any updates, if there's anyway they could help. So far no. So they've spent the past few days just throwing knives at trees and made a game of it called Target Practice, which they're playing right now.
Skylar smirked as her knife landed in the middle of the shirt they painted a red dot on. "Boom! Right in the center."
Vince crossed his arms. "I think you cheated."
"How? It's not like I ran at the tree and stabbed the knife in it. Face it, Vince. You suck."
"And you swallow."
Skylar's mouth opened before she pushed Vince's shoulders, making the boy laugh. "You jerk."
Vince was about to say something, but stopped when they heard Jasper screaming. Skylar and Vince looked towards the drop ship before they bolted towards it. They climbed up the ladder and made it in time to see Clarke with a knife while Wells held Jasper down. Octavia looked at the duo with wide eyes as Finn held her back. Monty looked like he was going to throw up.
"What's going on?" Vince asked.
"She's trying to save his life," Finn answered.
Bellamy came up the ladder. "She can't." The room grew annoyed with Bellamy's negativity.
Wells slowly stood up. "Back off."
"We didn't drag him through miles of woods just to let him die," Clarke said.
"Kid's a goner," Bellamy said, making Skylar mad. "If you can't see that, you're deluded. He's making people crazy."
"Sorry if Jasper's an inconvenience to you, but this isn't the Ark. Down here, every life matters."
Skylar and Vince knew that if it was Octavia with the hole in her chest and yelling, Bellamy would do everything he can to save her. He would tell the whole camp to shut the hell up or else they're gonna face the consequences.
Bellamy pointed at the injured boy. "Take a look at him. He's a lost cause."
Skylar had enough of Bellamy. "He's only a lost cause you said he is." She glared up at him. "If Clarke knows a way to fix him, let her fix him. There's still hope that Jasper could make it."
Bellamy glared down at her. "This isn't about hope, it's about guts. You don't have the guts to make the hard choices. I do. He's been like this for three days. If he's not better by tomorrow, I'll kill him myself."
What shocked everyone, except Vince, the next second was Skylar grabbing Bellamy and pinning him to the wall. She pulled out her knife and placed it across his neck. Her hand gripping the collar of his shirt.
"If you kill him, I'll kill you," Skylar threatened. Bellamy was about to move, but Skylar pushed the blade closer. "Blood for blood."
Bellamy looked down at her. Her face was mere inches away from his. All he had to do was lean down and their lips would be connected. But Skylar was beyond pissed. He knows not to piss her off even more. Past experience proven otherwise.
Vince got up and grabbed Skylar's shoulder. "Come on, Sky."
Skylar glared at Bellamy one last time before she lets go of him. Vince pulled her out of the drop ship to blow off some steam, knowing that she needs it.
"Power-hungry, self-serving jackass," Skylar mumbled as they left.
Vince wrapped his arm around her shoulders. "Don't worry about him. Let's get back to the game."
