"Jasper, tell us again, how did you stay so calm? I would've been terrified." A girl, Harper, asks Jasper. I was sitting with Monty and Octavia, sorting out the food other delinquents brought in.

"Fear is only a problem if you let it stop you, right?" Jasper replies. I snorted.

"That's not even his line, Finn said that." I laughed.

"I saw the grounders in the trees. Pure animal instinct took over. One pull of the trigger, two grounders dead." Jasper continues.

"Pure animal instinct? More like pure pants wetting instinct." I joked and both Monty and Octavia laughed.

"You don't really know what you're made of until a moment like that, you know when it's kill or be killed and there's just nothing between you and the top of the spear." Jasper says.

"Okay this has to stop." Octavia says standing up.

"Come on. Let us have this." Monty stops her.

"Us?" Octavia and I ask confused.

"Look at him." Monty points at Jasper, "The boy's a folk hero. They even gave us a bigger tent." He continues. I smile at him. I hear clattering in the distance.

"Somebody hit the trip wire." Connor yells out.

"Which wire? Was it a grounder?" Someone shouts back.

"I don't see anything." Another yells.

"Are you sure it was the trip wire?" I shout, rolling my eyes.

"I got nothing." Derek says, "Connor?" He asks.

"Nothing." Connor confirmed.

"Something moved! There! There!" Someone yelled and gunshots could be heard. I bolted up, along with Octavia and ran over.

"Lincoln." Octavia mutters, running the same speed as me.

"Octavia. Reina. Be careful." Connor tells us. I stopped at the body and gasped.

"Oh my god. No way." Derek says. I quickly bent down and picked the figure up, Octavia, Derek, and Connor helped me. We helped the figure back to the drop ship and laid him down. I got some rags and began wiping the blood from his face. Although he basically killed Charlotte, I still had a heart.

"Murphy? Where is he?" Bellamy shouts running in, Clarke behinds him, "Everyone but Connor and Derek out. Now!" Everyone scrambles to get out. I backed up from Murphy and stood back.

"He claims he was with the grounders." Derek tells him, "We caught him trying to sneak back into camp."

"I wasn't sneaking." Murphy speaks up, "I was running from the grounders."

"Anyone see grounders?" Bellamy asks, looking around. Everyone shook their heads, "Well in that case.." Bellamy trails off leaning down to pick up Murphy.

"Hey, what the hell is wrong with you?" Clarke asks pushing Bellamy back.

"We were clear on what would happen if he came back." Bellamy tells her.

"No. But if he was with the grounders, then he knows things that could help us." Clarke says.

"Help us? We hanged him." I spoke up, looking at Clarke.

"We banished him, and now we're gonna kill him." Bellamy tells her, going up to Murphy. Clarke stops him, "Get the hell out of my way." He looks at her.

"No." She shakes her head.

"Clarke. Think about Charlotte." I say.

"I'm thinking about her, but what happened to Charlotte was as much our fault as his." She says, "He's not lying. His fingernails were torn off. They tortured him." She notes.
