God, if this ends up getting destroyed by him being a pompous git, I am gonna be so pissed.

This has some sexy stuff 👀

Extremely late after note due to comments. Yes, I wish I could go back and make her slap the shit out of him. However there have been so many readers I cannot without making it make less sense due to comments.

Otherwise, I'd make her slap the shit out of him.  :)

The next day, Clarke and Bellamy, along with a crew, set off to explore the remains of the fallen exodus ship. I elected to stay behind, as I have very little interest in going. I know it's just Diana's group who died, not those parents everyone thinks did. Also, with my excuse of having no parents on the Ark, I'm able to wiggle out of going.

My brother almost forces me along, with me being a guard, but I slyly remind him camp still had to be watched, so I was left with a gun, a single magazine, and only Myles - of all people - as a replacement for my post. There are others, but I work the same place as Myles usually does in the rotations.

Raven would find the hydrazine today, giving her the chance to build the bomb that would destroy the bridge.

They haven't managed to return, and I'm let off my post, Jones offering to take over. I'm thankful for that, I trust him with guarding a hell of a lot more than I do Myles, and that's just a personal comfort. No hate to the kid, but he's kind of incompetent.

I walk over to the smokehouse and food storage, stretching out my arms, which were stiff after sitting with a gun all day long. When I make it to the fire, I immediately roll my eyes as I hear Harper fawn over Jasper. My boyfriend, for the last few days, has been this big hotshot, which I knew was coming, and as I had worried, it kind of distanced us.

"Jasper, tell us again, how did you stay so calm? I would've been terrified." Yeah. Calm, if that's what you want to call firing like mad and wasting a whole clip.

A flare of jealousy sparks in my chest as his voice takes on a flirtatious tone. "Fear is only a problem if you let it stop you, right?"

His 'fans' aww over that, and I roll my eyes, joining Monty and Octavia, who are sitting at the edge of camp. I hear my sister mutter, "That's not even his line, Finn said that." We all watch him yet again retell the story, me eating my piece of rabbit.

"I saw the grounders in the trees, it was like nothing I'd ever felt. You know, pure animal instinct took over." A part of me wants to run over and bitch slap Harper for the way she looks under her lashes at Jasper, but I merely scoff, shaking my head. "One pull of the trigger, two grounders dead."

"Pure animal instinct? More like pure pants-wetting panic," Octavia quips under her breath. I sigh as I continue to watch the boy who's paid me little mind for the past two days continue with his tale.

"You don't really know what you're made of until a moment like that, y'know?" Despite my annoyance with him right now, a fraction of me is glad he's getting some kind of recognition, and the smile he has brings a wave of warmth to my heart. It instanteously vanishes when he looks over at the bitch Harper, a smirk growing on his face. "When it's kill or be killed, and there's just nothing between you and the tip of the spear."
