Sage's POV

When we arrive back at camp it's descended into pure chaos as Wells and Murphy are at it again but this time with knives. Apparently being gone for not even a whole day is enough time to turn the area outside the drop ship into a war zone. Half the people here look as though they haven't slept and the angry tension only makes things worse. But surprisingly our arrival makes them stop, especially when Bellamy sees me carrying Octavia. He rushes over to ask me what happened but we wave him off as that's the least of our worries. Too out of breath to speak I point him in Finn's direction so he can listen to him instead. As he spoke I gently set her down so both of us could sit down easier and she pulled me closer so my back rests against her chest. "We didn't make it to Mount Weather," he said as Bellamy looked at us for more, mainly looking at Octavia and I. As if the pure terror on our faces doesn't give him enough he asks us what happened, as he still hasn't noticed that Jasper is missing. Once we said we were attacked we all knew what they were going to ask next. "Before you ask we have no idea who. It turns out when the last man from the ground died on the ark, he wasn't the last grounder," I say. This only makes everyone more nervous and agitated than before and Clarke attempts at making it sound better but fails. Now we know the radiation won't kill us, but now we know we aren't alone and have a highly skilled enemy that could. Finally someone brings up Jasper and it makes us all feel stupid for not saying it earlier. "Jasper was hit. They took him," Clarke says.

Now she notices Wells' wristband is off and goes on another rant about why we need to stop taking them off. As they all look at her with worried expressions now because of our discovery, Bellamy in an attempt to regain control tries to make her look bad. He knows that they'll not like to be reminded of her privilege and he uses that to her advantage. The second he makes the connection between the people of the Arc coming down and her privilege he regained control over the group. Now he has a whole army of teenagers on his side that are ready to fight against the grounders and Clarke has no way to stop them. I look back at Octavia and see that she's torn just as I was as she doesn't want to have people come down, but also saw the grounders skill firsthand. Out of the corner of my eye I see Monty and Clarke storm off to the drop ship as everyone continues to yell after Bellamy's speech. I hear Octavia hiss as she grabs her leg making me quickly turn around. Knowing we had limited supplies I rushed to find some water and bring it back so I could wash it off. I tried to find something to clean it off with but couldn't so I took off my shirt so I could use it i stead of wasting more time looking. As I start cleaning it off the crowd clears out and Bellamy comes over to talk. He doesn't look too happy as he asks us what happened, glaring at me as I was her responsibility. "Well what was it?" Both of us don't know how to answer as she couldn't see it at all and I was too busy rescuing her. All we know is that the rest of the group thought it looked like a giant snake. He raises his voice as his anger boils over at the fact she could've gotten herself killed. Not making the situation any better for us Clarke chimes in as she overheard us as she walked past. Octavia seems distracted for a second and I take it as an opportunity to clean out a really sensitive spot, making her groan as she accidentally kicks me. "Shit! Sorry!"

As we all look over while laughing we see Clarke has a backpack on and is followed by Wells, who also has a pack on. "She would've been if Sage didn't see it and jumped in to pull her out." I see Octavia looking at them closely as she registers that they're going to look for Jasper, making her try to get up and go with them. Before I could stop her Bellamy does for me as he pushes the both of us down, her more roughly than me. He even has the support of Clarke as he leg will only slow them down, "I'm here for you actually," she says as she looks at Bellamy. She points to the gun on his hip and as soon as he shows it to her she asks him to come with them. "If I were you I'd come with. You want them to follow you but they can see that only one of us is scared. And that person is you." Her words to the trick and I give her a thumbs up as he turns to grab Murphy. He asks him to join them and turns to me and asks for me to watch Octavia again, making Clarke laugh quietly. "She doesn't leave this camp, is that clear? And if anybody touches her, they answer to me," he says. It takes everything in my to not laugh as I hear Clarke and Octavia now laughing quietly, for some reason Bellamy not hearing either of them. He walks off and Clarke gives me a knowing look as she gives me a hug. Looking over her shoulder I see Wells glaring at me as his patience wears thin. To set him off I wink at him as she pulls away, making him lunge at me and run into her. She rolls her eyes at him and walks off as I flip him off before he runs away like a wimp.
