Persphyni : I am Darkness

33

I was the first one out of the drop ship. Everyone else still asleep as I heard the storm stop and opened the door to see the sun rising along the eastern horizon.

I spared a glance back in the drop ship to see the three on the first level were still asleep even with the loud grinding as the metal door dropped.

I stepped out into the morning air, the humidity strong, as I took in the damage of the storm. Tents that weren't secured down before the storm were trashed, blown helplessly in different directions. Wooden spikes the same ones Charlotte had been tying together four days ago, were impaled in the side of the drop ship. Random pieces of material and nature debris were scattered around. The few items that were secured had still been blown over just where they stood.

I guess explaining what wasn't blown over and still intact would have been easier. One word, dropship. Our metal castle of sorts held up extremely well against the storm. The only damage was external and the spikes. Easy to remove and cover with metal from inside the ship if necessary.

I did a perimeter run, one inside the wall to check the inside portion then one outside to make sure there wasn't anything that needed to get replaced or fixed. I, luckily, found only a few spots to patch up and few trees fallen trees to move. But the wall held up almost as good as the ship.

I headed back into the drop ship, waking up Clarke so she could check on Finn before I went up to the second floor and woke the 100 up.

"Good morning, fellow Arkies! Time to rise and shine! We have a camp to patch up!" I projected my voice but kept it in a calm and even tone. When only a few people got up, one of those being Monty and Jasper the both of them giving me a sharp glare.

"Last chance, wake up. Let's go!" I spoke again. A few more people got up but there was still many people sleeping still.

"Fine." I turned to Monty and Jasper. "I'll be back in five. Tell everyone who is still asleep that they better get their asses up." I climbed down the ladder, grabbing a bucket from the first floor and exiting the drop ship again.

_______•*•*•*•_______

"Okay, are you guys ready?" I looked at the forty people who were awake. The other's sleeping scattered about, but my sights were set on one person in particular. I got quiet confirmation as I slowly approached my target

I crept in between the few sleeping bodies, finally reaching my target. I could hear small laughter as my audience struggled to contain themselves.

"Shh!" I hissed to them, a small smile on my face as the few who were laughing slammed their hands over their mouths. Their body's rippling in laughter.

I turned back to my target and stepped just beside his head. His eyes shut and face peaceful. No sign of the person who just tortured a grounder. No sign of stress as his entire body was relaxed as he was stomach up looking straight to the ceiling. One hand resting on his stomach the other holding his head up.

"Hey, Dumbass." My voice was louder than when I had addressed the onlookers. The volume had him stirring as I adjusted my grip on the bucket. A smirk on my face as I looked back up to the awake teens and sent them a wink.

"Wake up!" I shouted as I tossed the cold water from the stream a few minutes from camp on Bellamy's face. The cold and my yell made him bolt up right from his position, looking around as he tried to figure out what had happened. Before he could turn to see me I pulled the bucket over his head and sprinted away towards the ladder. The teens clearing the way as I ran through them.

"Oh my gosh! Jasper! I can't believe you just did that!" I shouted as I started to climb down, my eyes meeting Bellamy's as he glared at the crowd.

"Me?" Jasper gulped when Bellamy glared at him. I took the distraction and climbed down the ladder, my head disappearing before I yelled back up.

"Quit delaying! We have a camp to clean up!" I laughed when I saw Jasper was the first one down after me.

"Why did you do that?" Jasper ran a hand through his hair once he got down and walked outside with me.

"Oh you'll be fine."

"You weren't the one getting his death glare." I laughed again putting an arm around his shoulders.

"Just play the "don't kill me I saved your sister and you" card and then run away to me if it doesn't look like it worked." Jasper just gave me an unconvinced look.

"Fine, if he approaches you then you can tell him I did it. If no one else has already snitched on me." Jasper breathed in relief. Before he went serious again.

"What if he doesn't believe me?" I rose a brow.

"Jasper, really?" I stepped away from him and turned to face the teens who have gathered outside of the drop ship waiting for my direction.

"Okay, as you can all see, the camp is a mess. So we are going to split into divisions. Get into four groups. Those who can lift heavier things, those who are good organizers, those who are good gatherers, and those who aren't particularly good at one thing or another." I was almost shocked at how quickly the four groups were made.

"Okay, let's do this." I smirked, the teens smiling as they waited my next orders.
