It didn't take long for the excitement to die down. A crowd started to form in the clearing, with Wells Jaha standing in the middle, already attempting to throw out orders.

"You all heard what my father said. Our priority is to get to Mount Weather."

Aurelia scoffed. "And why should we listen to you? Your family destroyed mine, and I'd rather go to hell than take orders from you" the crowd murmured in agreement. "Your father doesn't control us anymore, and don't think for one second that you can either"

"Do you think you're in charge?" Octavia questioned, "You and your little princess."

"Do you think we care who's in charge?" The blonde replied with her brows furrowed. "We need to get to Mount Weather. Not because the Chancellor said so, but because the longer we wait, the hungrier we'll get and the harder this'll be. How long do you think we'll last without those supplies? We need to leave before it gets too dark."

"I got a better idea." Bellamy spoke up. "You two go find it for us. Let the privileged do the hard work for a change." The crowd cheered in agreement at these words.

Aurelia slowly made her way out of the crowd, not really interested in this little debate anymore, and decided to do something productive. She slowly walked around the many trees, attempting to find pieces of dry wood to create a fire. Judging by the whoops and hollers, a fight had already broken out, but Aura simply rolled her eyes and continued with what she was doing.

As she started to assemble the wood, Octavia came running towards her, an excited look on her face. "Clarke is taking a group of us to find supplies, do you want to come with us?"

"I think i'll stay here," the older girl responded. "I have a feeling that half of these meatheads didn't pass earth skills and probably need me to keep them alive until you come back.
Octavia let out a laugh at this. "Can't say I disagree with you there." The younger girl quickly pulled Aura into a hug before starting to walk away. "Don't miss me too much." she called out over her shoulder, causing a small smile to appear on Aura's face.

She turned back towards the pile of wood in front of her. "Okay Aurelia," she mumbled to herself. "Earth skills was your best subject. You got this." After several attempts, a spark ignited the tiny piece of wood, and eventually, the fire began to consume the entire wooden structure. She let out a small yell of triumph, which attracted the attention of the people standing close to her.

Bellamy walked over to the girl, an impressed look on his face. "Not bad McKinley," he praised, moving his hands closer to the fire to warm his hands.
