Chapter 2 'Two together'
'This will hurt a lot Jasper, are you ready?' Abbie asked.
'Just do it, we don't have time to spare' Jasper said.
'Think of something nice, because will hurt a lot' Abby said.
'I am sorry Jasper' Maya said as she held my hand.
The next moment Abbie began.
She made a small opening with a surgical knife on Jaspers left thigh.
Jasper grunted, and said:
'That wasn't so bad, if this is all, than I' He was cut short when Abbie began drilling into his bone.
Jasper began screaming, this pain was unbearable.
The drilling continued for several seconds, before it finally stopped.
'Extracting bone marrow now' Abbie said, as she put the biggest needle Jasper had ever seen into his thigh.
The pain the sucking caused was even worse than the drilling, it felt like he was being burned alive.
'Please Abbie, please stop' Maya said, almost crying.
'Just a few more moments' Abbie said, as she completely filled the syringe.
Jasper continued to scream the lungs out of his body.
'Extraction complete' Abbie said, as she removed the completely filled syringe.
'Don't ever do that again' Maya said as she caressed Jaspers hand.
'Please Abbie, give him some painkillers' Maya said.
'I will' Abbie said, as she emptied one syringe of morphine into Jasper.
'Is this enough?' Jasper asked, still in great pain.
'More than enough' Abbie said.
'Now lie for a few days, you've done more than enough' Abbie said.
'When will you use it?' Jasper said, sweating.
'In a couple of hours, I first have to make sure that you are completely healthy' Abie said.
Abie left the room.
'Why Jasper, why did you do it?' Maya asked, as she started to cry.
'Everybody deserves to live' Jasper said.
'And you deserve it most' He said.
'I will never forget this' Maya said, and she kissed Jasper.
A few hours later
'We are extremely lucky' Abby said, as she entered the room.
'You both have the same blood type, both rare' she said.
'So what are you waiting for?' Jasper asked.
'Have some patience' Abby said and she smiled.
Abby took the syringe filled with Jasper's bone marrow, and cleaned the tip with alcohol.
'Lie still Maya' Abby said, as she pushed aside Maya's shirt.
'Never do this again Jasper' Maya said, and Abby pushed the needle in.
Maya grabbed Jaspers hand as Abby began to push.
Abby slowly emptied the needle into Maya's arm, and watched at her face for any sign of complications.
'What in god's name is the meaning of this?' Bellamy shouted as he entered the room.
'Bellamy, what are you doing here?' Abby asked.
'Seeing what you're doing here' he responded.
'You perform the same barbarian practices as the people in mount weather?' he asked.
'Maya needed saving, and this is none of your freaking business' Jasper angrily said.
'It IS my business!' Bellamy shouted.
'Leave this room Bellamy' Jasper said, furious.
'Where did you get this?' Bellamy asked, as he grabbed the empty syringe from Abby's hands.
'NONE OF YOUR FREAKING BUSINESS' Jasper shouted.
'It comes from you right?' Bellamy asked, staring at Jasper.
'You don't have any idea what you did' he said.
'I HAVE' Jasper said, his blood boiling.
'You bastard killed everyone in mount weather!' Jasper said.
'That's because we needed to save our friends!' Bellamy said.
'If you just could have waited for five more minutes, she wouldn't be the only one left!' Jasper yelled.
'Only one?' Maya asked.
Bellamy left the room, and slammed the door.
'Maya I…' Jasper said, as he looked at her.
'Am I the only one left?' Maya asked.
Jasper sighed and closed his eyes for a second.
'Yes, I couldn't save anymore people' Jasper said.
'Anyone I ever knew, all the kids, everyone is dead?' Maya asked, as tears began to roll from her eyes.
'I am sorry, I tried the best I could' Jasper said.
'It was Bellamy's and Clarke's fault' He said.
'The only one left..' Maya stuttered, crying.
'I wanted to tell you' Jasper said.
'I need to visit mount weather one more time' Maya said.
'I don't want to be here' she said afterwards.
'Come with me' She said, looking at Jasper.
A couple of days later.
'The new bone marrow should be working now' Abby said, while doing some tests on Maya.
'You can try some steps outside' Abby said.
Jasper threw himself of the bed, and walked to Maya.
He lifted her with both arms.
For the first time in probably a week, they smiled both.
They kissed, both forgetting what situation they were in.
'I think I will leave you two alone' Abby said, and she left the room.
One hour later they both stepped outside.
'Breath it in, this is freedom' Jasper.
'Never thought the ground would smell so different from the bunker' Maya said, and she laughed.
'And now for the best part' Jasper said, and he pulled Maya with him.
'Listen to this' he said pointing at trees right in front of them.
'Are those, birds?' Maya asked as she listened to the sound.
'Yes' Jasper said and smiled.
'Listen to them' he said.
Maya laughed.
'Not even in my deepest dreams did I expected for the outside world to be like this.' She said.
'Come with me for a walk through the forest' Jasper asked.
'Gladly' Maya said, and she took Jasper by the hand.
Together they walked through the forest.
'So beautiful' Maya said, as she bended over to smell a flower.
'Like it so far?' Jasper asked.
'Very much' Maya said as she turned around to see everything around her.
'I always learned about the ground, but seeing it, it's something else entirely' she said.
They approached a small pool of water, and Jasper took of his clothing.
'What are you doing?' Maya asked.
'Join me' Jasper said, and he jumped.
'I can't swim' Maya said.
'Let me teach you' Jasper said.
'Okay then' Maya said, and she pulled down her clothes.
'Now jump' Jasper said, while looking at her body.
Maya stood still for a couple of seconds, looking at the water.
'I don't think I can' She said scared.
'I'll catch you' Jasper said, and he extended his arms.
Maya smiled and jumped.
She landed right in front of Jasper, and rested on him.
'Now the first step is easy, stay afloat' he said, and both laughed.
Time seemed to stand still.
This happiness was something both had never experienced in their lives.
'I wish this would last forever' Maya said.
Jasper smiled and looked around him.
'It's already almost dark' he said, as he saw the sunlight fading.
'We need to get back to camp' Jasper said.
'Such a shame' Maya said, and she lifted herself out of the water, and Jasper followed.
Maya looked at Jasper and smiled.
'Come here' She said, and they kissed.
Half an hour later.
'Jasper? Where are you' Jasper heard Bellamy screaming.
'Oh shit' Jasper said, but before he could do anything, Bellamy stood right before them.
'Looks like you two are having fun' Bellamy said, as he saw Jasper lying on top of Maya.
'Oh god' Maya said, and both rolled off each other.
'Put your clothes on, it's getting dark' Bellamy said.
'Why are you here?' Jasper asked while putting on his clothes.
'I was looking for you two' Bellamy said.
'Well, you could just have left us here, we don't need your help' Jasper said.
'Just get back to camp and eat' Bellamy said.
'I don't want anything to do with you, especially after what you did in mount weather' Jasper said angrily while helping Maya.
Bellamy sighed and walked away.
'We will go to mount weather tomorrow, I promise you' Jasper said while holding Maya in his arms.
Two hours later
'Alright, it's time to sleep everyone' Clarke said, as the last people finished their meals.
Clarke stood up and looked around.
'Maya?' She said as she saw Maya sitting beside Jasper, staring into a campfire.
Maya looked at her and said:
'I now you, you killed all of my people' she said, fury burning in her eyes.
'I had no choice' Clarke said, and she swallowed.
'THERE IS always a choice!' Maya said, her eyes fuming with anger.
'Let's go Maya' Jasper said, and he took Maya by the arm.
The two walked until they were behind a building, then they stopped.
'I just can't be here anymore Jasper, every time I look at Clarke or Bellamy, I see them.' She said, still full of anger.
'Come here, we will leave I promise' he said.
'Tomorrow, when we leave for mount Weather, we will not come back' Jasper.
Surprised, Maya looked up to him, smiled, and said:
'Were do you want to go, there is nowhere to go.' She said.
'I heard of one save haven down south, it's the only place we can go' Jasper answered.
The next morning.
'We go now, I have everything packed' Jasper said as he closed his backpack.
'We need to leave now if we don't want anyone to find out what we're doing.' Jasper said.
'Are you still sure you want to go with me?' Maya asked as she to closed her backpack.
'More than ever' Jasper said, and he smiled.
'I will probably never see my friends again, but that's something I can live with' he said.
Suddenly, they heard someone coming.
'Oh shit, hide' Jasper said, and they dived behind a large shelve.
'Jasper! I Know you're here, don't steal food, leave my storage' Raven said loudly.
'I'm not stealing food' Jasper said as he stood up.
'And what's that then in your back?' Raven said smiling as she pointed to Jaspers backpack.
'Can you hold a secret?' Jasper asked.
'I can' Raven said.
Maya stood up beside Jasper.
'You must be Maya' Raven said as she looked at Maya.
'What are you planning to do Jasper?' Raven asked.
'I will leave with Maya, and I'm not coming back' he said.
'But Jasper you can't leave now, we need you' Raven said, surprised.
'It's to late for that now' Jasper said.
'Did you have anything in this Maya?' Raven asked as she looked at Maya suspiciously.
'None of your business' she said.
'I will leave now' Jasper said, and he offered Raven his hand.
'I really hope we will see again Jasper' Raven said, and she took his hand.
'May the road bring you good fortune, both of you' Raven said.
Maya and Jasper left the storage room and began to walk.
'Save travels' Raven said, and she turned around and walked away.
Four hours later.
'Still far?' Maya asked while heavily breathing.
'Not far, just a few hundred meters to the entrance' Jasper answered.
The two continued to walk through the woods that laid between them and the entrance to mount weather.
Although it was only early in the afternoon, the trees prevented much of the light passing through.
As they neared mount Weather, they could smell something burning.
'What's that?' Maya asked.
'I don't now, I have nothing to do with it.' Jasper said.
Jasper helped Maya cross a large boulder.
'Oh god' Maya said.
'What's wrong?' Jasper said.
'Mount Weather, it's on fire!' Maya cried.
'Calm Maya it's not a very big fire, if it was, the smokecloud would have been larger' Jasper said.
Maya took Jasper's hand, and walked towards the gate.
Jasper was right, the fire was small: only some sort of liquid was burning right in front of the gate.
'Don't inhale the smoke' Jasper said as he pushed at the door.
The door gave away almosr immediately, and they were inside.
It smelled of blood and human excrement.
'We first need to go to section 4' Jasper said as he was holding Maya, who was still crying.
'I never had the oppertunity to say goodbye to my father, it all happened so fast' Maya said while fighting the tears.
Half an hour later
'What used to be my home should be right here' Maya said as she effortless opened the door.
It was almosr completely still , the only sound was from the still clicking clock in the living room.
They began searching the house.
It was just like it was a week ago, almost perfectly clean.
It was like nothing hapoened.
'AAAAHH' Jasper heard Maya screaming.
'What's wrong?' Jasper said, and he immediately went to Maya.
'DAD NO!' Maya screamed.
Jasper discovered Maya in the kitchen.
She was sitting on the floor, with her fathers dead body next to it.
'HOW COULD THEY!' Maya said, both crying and screaming.
Japser looked at the man's body, and saw a bullet hole in the back of the neck.
The typical execution method of the security of mount Weather.
Jasper grabbed Maya, and held her in his arms.
After almost an hour of silently weeping, Maya stood up.
'We need to give him a proper burrial, this is not the way how I will let my father rest after all the good things he has done' she said.
'We will' Jasper said.
Jasper remembered it
Suddenly, Jasper remembered it.
'I will give you some time alone with him, I need to go get something' Jasper said, he planted a kiss on Maya's forehead, and he left the room.
