Fallen tree branch.
Amber and Octavia are sat together talking.
"So Bellamy caught you two kissing?" Amber questioned. Octavia nodded.
"Are we sure this guy is still alive?" Amber asked. "Amber!" Octavia scolded.
"What? Come on O, your brother made himself pretty clear when he said nobody touches you" Amber stated.
"You took off your wristband" Octavia noticed. "Yeah. I want my dad to know that he sent me to die" Amber said.
"Except your not dead" Octavia pointed out. "He doesn't know that" Amber replied.
"He could die up there. You okay with that?" Octavia asked.
"He let my mom die. He sent me to jail and he sent me here. I hate him" Amber said.
"That's as good an answer as any I suppose" Octavia responded.
"I'm gonna go check on Jasper. You coming?" Amber asked.
"I think I'll go find Atom" Octavia said. "Your digging his grave, O" Amber warned her friend.
Octavia smiled then walked off to find him. Amber headed into the dropship.
"The Grounders cauterized the wound. Saved his life" Clarke announced.
"Saved his life so they could string him up for live bait. Garden of Eden this ain't" Finn replied.
"Hey Amber" Monty said with a small smile.
"Hey" Amber said then she glanced down at Jasper "That's infected"
"He could be septic" Clarke sighed. Any progress on using the wristbands to contact the Ark? Monty?"
"That would be a firm no" Monty answered.
"My mother would know what to do" Clarke stated. "We need to cut the infected flesh off" Amber said.
"How's he doing?" Wells asked entering the dropship.
"How does it look like he's doing, Wells?" Clarke retorted
"Hey, I'm just trying to help" Wells replied.
Jasper began moaning even louder.
"Amber's right. You want to help? Hold him down" Clarke told Wells.
"I'm not gonna like this, am I?" Monty asked.
"You might wanna leave" Amber told Monty. Wells placed his hands on Jasper's shoulders holding him down as Amber used a knife to mark round the infected flesh.
Amber nodded at Clarke who took the knife and began cutting into the inflected flesh.
Jasper moaned louder than he ever had before and his body kept jerking. Monty shut his eyes unable to look.
Amber and Wells did their best to keep him steady as Clarke cut off the last of the infected flesh.
"Is that it?" Monty asked half opening his eyes. "Yeah. It's over" Amber confirmed.
"I could never be a doctor" Monty said. "It's not always pretty but if you can save someone it's worth it" Amber stated.
"Amber! There's another bit just below his heart" Clarke told Amber.
"I'll get it" Amber said before swapping places with Clarke.
Wells and Clarke began holding Jasper down as Amber started precisely cutting of Jasper's infected flesh.
Amber was terrified, she knew that just one slip of her knife could hit his heart and kill him.
Just as Amber was almost finished Octavia came barging in "Stop. You're killing him!"
"She's trying to save his life" Finn said. Bellamy comes in after Octavia "She can't"
Amber quickly finishes. Wells stands up and walks towards Bellamy "Back off"
"We didn't drag him through miles of woods just to let him die" Clarke stated.
"Kid's a goner. If you can't see that, you're deluded. He's making people crazy" Bellamy argued.
"Sorry if Jasper's an inconvenience to you, but this isn't the Ark. Down here, every life matters" Clarke responded.
"Take a look at him. He's a lost cause" Bellamy said.
"O, trust me. I was trained in medicine for a while, Jasper is saveable" Amber told Octavia.
"What if he isn't?" Octavia replied glancing at Jasper sadly.
"Octavia, I've spent my whole life watching my mother heal people. If I say there's hope, there's hope" Clarke stated.
"This isn't about hope, it's about guts. You don't have the guts to make the hard choices. I do. If he's not better by tomorrow, I'll kill him myself" Bellamy announced then he turned to leave "Octavia, let's go"
"I'm staying here" Octavia told her brother firmly. Bellamy left.
"Power-hungry, self-serving jackass. He doesn't care about anyone but himself" Monty snapped. Octavia looked at him surprised. "No offence"
"Yeah. Bellamy is all that. But he also happens to be right" Finn said.
"How can you say that, Spacewalker? Your always so quick to give up" Amber snapped.
"Take a look at him" Finn retorted. "I am looking at him! That's how I know we can save him" Amber argued.
"Finn why don't you go somewhere else?" Clarke said.
"I'll leave. I'm going a walk" Amber told them before she left the dropship.
"Why is that stupid kid not dead yet?" Murphy asked Amber.
"Piss off Murphy" Amber replied. "Okay. Don't want you going crazy on me" Murphy taunted.
Amber turned around and punched Murphy just below the eye.
"I've had enough of your shit Murphy! He's gonna be fine. You just better keep your mouth shut and stop causing trouble" Amber yelled.
A few delinquents nearby looked at Amber shocked.
Bellamy walked over. "What's going on here?"
"Crazy bitch just hit me" Murphy told Bellamy as Amber walked away.
"Amber" Bellamy called going after her. "Amber, get back here!" She continued to ignore him. "Daddy's girl"
Amber turned round and gave Bellamy a death stare.
"Easy. What the hell just happened?" Bellamy asked.
"He's an asshole" Amber told Bellamy. "I agree. You can't just go around throwing your fists at every asshole though" Bellamy replied.
"If I did I'd be punching you" Amber retorted.
"Look I'm just saying it how I see it, the kid is badly injured. We have nothing down here to treat him. The right thing to do is put him out of his misery" Bellamy said.
Amber frowned at Bellamy then walked away. Bellamy grabbed her arm.
"What is it Bellamy?" Amber snapped. "It's not safe out there. You should stay in camp" Bellamy told her.
"Since when do you care?" Amber asked. "I don't. My sister does, I don't want her to lose anybody else she cares about" Bellamy replied.
Amber considered this then headed back into camp.
"Those rumours... I'm starting to think they might be true" Bellamy said.
Amber turned to face him "Your sister already knows, okay? I've never done anything like that before and I never will again. I don't know what happened, I couldn't control it"
"I won't hold it against you. Just be aware that some people may. You should proabbly keep the outbursts to a minimum" Bellamy warned her.
Amber looked at him one last time before walking away. "Hey, you're a doctor right?" Harper Mcintyre said approaching Amber.
"I guess you could say that. What's up?" Amber replied.
"My friend cut her hand. It's pretty deep and we don't know how to wrap it properly" Harper explained.
"Okay. Take me to her" Amber said. Harper began walking over to a crowded tent and Amber followed her.
"Fox. I got a doctor. Come out" Harper called. Fox came out her hand dripping of blood.
"What did you cut it on?" Amber asked Fox. "Miller's knife" Fox said.
Amber knew Miller. She'd grew up on the same station as him.
Miller emerged from the tent. "Miller? I hear your knife was the doing of this" Amber said.
"Yeah that's right" Miller replied walking over to them.
Amber reached up and ripped off a piece of Miller's shirt.
"Why did it have to be mine?" Miller asked. "Your knife, your responsibility" Amber retorted before wrapping the piece of shirt tightly around Fox's hand.
"The pressure should stop the bleeding. I'll come by later and clean it up for you" Amber told Fox.
"Thank you" Fox said with a smile before going back in the tent.
"I'm Harper" Harper introduced herself.
"I'm Amber" Amber said. "Thanks for helping her" Harper thanked Amber.
"No problem" Amber told her. Harper went back in the tent.
"No wristband huh?" Miller questioned glancing at Amber's bare wrists.
"Nope. Why'd you take yours off?" Amber asked. "Your dads great"
"I needed to eat. My dad would understand" Miller explained.
"You could've stood up to them" Amber said.
"I don't wanna make no enemies just yet. Down here it's all about survival" Miller stated before going back in the tent.
Amber decided to go back to the dropship. On her way in she saw Clarke, Wells and Finn on their way out.
"Amber! Great, we're going to get seaweed for Jasper. You have to stay here in case he gets any worse" Clarke told Amber.
"Okay. Sure" Amber said. "You were right, Amber. I was being a dick" Finn admitted.
Amber smiled at him then went into the dropship. She climbed up the ladder and joined Octavia and Monty who were with Jasper.
"Hey" Octavia greeted her friend. "How was your walk?" Monty asked.
"Fantastic" Amber muttered. "You here to watch Jasper?" Monty questioned.
"Well Clarke asked me to but I was coming here anyway" Amber explained.
"What's the deal with her and Wells?" Octavia asked.
"I think Wells is into her" Amber told them. "He has to be" Monty agreed.
"Does she know?" Octavia questioned. "I don't think so" Amber replied.
"It'd be impossible not to notice" Octavia stated.
"Clarke is oblivious to things like that" Amber informed them.
"You seem to know her pretty well" Monty said to Amber.
"Yeah I grew up with her" Amber explained. "She's pretty intense" Monty stated.
"She can be. Clarke's never really been a fun person. It's always serious with her" Amber said.
"Bell told Atom not to talk to me anymore" Octavia whispered to Amber.
"I knew Bellamy wouldn't like it" Amber said. "He doesn't have to be so damn controlling" Octavia snapped.
"He's not controlling O, just protective. Your lucky to have somebody that loves you as much as Bellamy does" Amber told Octavia.
"I don't feel particularly lucky right now" Octavia sighed.
Loads of delinquents began piling into the dropship.
"What's going on?" Amber asked climbing down the ladder. "Air got thick. Everyone's skin started to burn" Miller told Amber.
"Shut the door" Harper yelled all the delinquents began sealing all entrances.
Monty and Octavia climbed down the ladder too. Jasper began moaning again.
"What's going on?" Monty asked.
"Apparently the air got thick and their skins started to burn" Amber told them.
"My brother is out there!" Octavia exclaimed. "He'll be fine. We'll all be okay" Monty said.
Amber was worried too, Clarke, Wells and Finn were out there as well as Bellamy and the people hunting with him.
"Miller, when you say the air got thick what do you actually mean?" Amber asked.
"All yellow" Miller said. "What would cause a yellow fog?" Monty asked.
"My thoughts exactly" Amber said. "If something happens to Bell out there the last thing he said to me was let's go Octavia and I choose to stay here" Octavia stated worrying.
"He will be fine O, I know it" Amber assured Octavia. Jasper continued moaning.
"Will somebody shut that damn kid up" A delinquent muttered.
"Just end him already" Another delinquent said. "He's better dead"
"That's it. I'm ending this" Murphy announced standing up
"I heard Bellamy gave him till tomorrow" A delinquent said.
"Yeah, well, Bellamy isn't here, is he? The kid's dying anyway. I'm just getting it over with" Murphy said then he got up.
Monty and Octavia quickly ran to the ladder and climbed up. Amber wasn't as quick.
"Murphy! Step away from the ladder" Amber snapped. "Or what Kane?" Murphy asled placing a foot on the ladder.
Octavia kicked Murphy's head sending him to the floor.
"She doesn't like that name" Octavia told Murphy who was lying on the floor shocked.
Amber climbed up the ladder quickly. Murphy got up and began climbing the ladder then he started pushing at the hatch.
"The lock's on the other side" Monty yelled. Amber and Monty both sat on the hatch trying to keep Murphy from killing Jasper.
"Don't let him in!" Octavia exclaimed. "We weren't intending on it" Amber stated.
"I'm gonna kill him, okay? Let me in! Let me in, Monty!" Murphy roared, smashing his fists off the hatch as he did.
Octavia grabbed one of the pipes on the wall and began pulling at it.
"No rush. We're fine here" Monty blurted sarcastically.
Octavia finally got the pipe lose. "I got it! Move it" Octavia said.
Monty and Amber quickly moved and Octavia placed the pole on top of the hatch preventing Murphy from getting in.
"The three of you better open up this hatch right now!" Murphy yelled.
Amber and Monty sighed in relief and took a seat next to Jasper. "Good save, O" Amber said as Octavia joined them.
"What an asshole" Octavia snarled. "I wish he got speared instead of Jasper" Monty snapped.
"Me too" Amber agreed. "He is gonna be okay, isn't he?" Octavia questioned.
"Yeah. He's gonna be fine, O" Amber told Octavia. "Let's get some sleep" Monty said.
Amber knew they would hardly get any sleep due to Jasper's consistent moaning but she also knew it couldn't be helped.
The next morning Amber and Octavia left the dropship about to go search for the missing group when they appeared.
"It's about time. They're gonna kill Jasper. Did you get the medicine?" Octavia asked approaching Clarke.
"Yeah. I… I got it. Come on. Let's go talk" Clarke said trying to stall Octavia.
Amber saw a body and stepped forward to check it. She pulled up the blanket and saw Atom's face. She looked up at Bellamy and saw the sadness in his eyes before quickly covering Atom's face.
Clarke tries to pull Octavia into the dropship but she goes towards Bellamy and Amber.
"Octavia, just stay there. Please, stay back" Bellamy pleaded.
"Why?" Octavia asked still attempting to step forward.
The siblings scuffled. "Stop" Octavia snapped.
"O. Just don't" Amber told her friend. Octavia pushed Bellamy's arm away and went forward to look under the jacket.
"Atom" Octavia realised.
"There was nothing I could do" Bellamy explained. Amber saw the heartbreak on her friends face and attempted to hug her.
"Don't. I just wanna be alone" Octavia choked as tears began to spill down her face, she quickly covered Atom with the jacket then stood up to leave.
"O... O... please" Bellamy said looking at his little sister sincerely.
"Don't" Octavia said before leaving. Amber wiped a tear of her own away and stood up.
Murphy approached Bellamy.
"Lose anyone here?" Bellamy asked Murphy. "No" Murphy answered.
"Jasper?" Bellamy questioned.
"Still breathing. Barely. I tried to take him out, but that crazy bitch and your psycho little sister…" Bellamy lunged at Murphy and grabbed him by the collar.
Bellamy shoved him still keeping a grip on his collar.
"Bellamy..." Murphy stammered.
Bellamy pulled Murphy to his face. "My what? My what?" Bellamy yelled in Murphy's face.
Amber had to admit Bellamy was pretty scary.
"Your little sister" Murphy corrected himself then shoved Bellamy off him.
"Yeah, that's right. My little sister. Got anything else you want to say about her?" Bellamy asked still angry.
"Nothing. Sorry" Murphy apologised before walking away.
"You alright?" Bellamy asked Amber. "Yeah. I'm fine. What happened to him?" Amber asked glancing at Octavia.
"Some sort of fog. It burned him" Bellamy explained. "Oh my god" Amber gasped.
"You'll always take care of Octavia won't you?" Bellamy asked Amber.
"Always" Amber replied. "Good. She needs a friend like you" Bellamy said.
"Are you okay?" Amber asked Bellamy, she could see that his face was mixed with anger and sadness.
"Don't worry about me. I'll be fine. It's O you should be worried about" Bellamy told Amber.
"She's stronger than you think" Amber said. "I'm starting to realise that" Bellamy admitted.
"I'm going to go check on her" Amber said. Bellamy nodded.
"Amber. Thanks for being there for her" Bellamy said. Amber gave him a smile before going into the Dropship.
When she climbed up the ladder she was surprised to see Jasper awake surrounded by Clarke, Finn, Monty and Octavia.
"There she is! My other saviour" Jasper slurred. "Jasper! Your awake!" Amber exclaimed taking a seat near him.
"Thanks for helping save my life" Jasper said. "I'd do it again" Amber told Jasper.
"Where's Wells?" Monty asked. "On watch" Clarke said.
"O, are you okay?" Amber asked.
Octavia nodded "I guess we're just gonna have to get used to people dying down here"
Amber hoped that wasn't true.
