I woke with a start, lurching into a sitting position. The sun was just starting to rise and it was still dark. The cool breeze cut right through my long sleeves, sending a shiver up my spine and goose bumps down my arms. I let out a breath and opened my palm. I stared at my necklace for a minute before clasping it behind my neck. I slipped the gem under my shirt and stood. I stretched my back. Today was the big day. The day that Yachara referred to as 'B-Day' in her letter. I grabbed my pack off the floor and glanced over at Bellamy.

He'd rolled over in the opposite direction of me some time during the night, and he used his arm for a pillow. His over arm was draped over his head like it was meant to cover his ears. I nudged him with my foot. "I'm awake," he grumbled, his voice slightly muffled.

"Then let's go. We need to get ready to leave for Mount Weather," I said. He sighed, sounding annoyed, as he pulled himself up to stand. He looked at me with an expression that said he got little to no sleep last night, and I was being ridiculous for waking him up. "It's not even officially sunrise yet," he said.

"What's wrong with starting early?" I asked, crossing my arms. As he looked away, I noticed he rolled his eyes. I inhaled. "Bellamy," I said. "We have a lot to do to prepare for tonight." He ignored me and slid off his shirt. He took off his shoes and jumped into the water, splashing water my way. "Bellamy! What are you doing?" Only his head was above water. He smirked. "What does it look like?" he asked.

"It looks like you're wasting time," I said, crouching beside the pool as he swam to the edge. "We need to get moving." He looked up at me and something flashed in his eyes. He stared at me a second. Then he grabbed my wrist and tugged, sending me splashing into the water, fully clothed. I surfaced to find him laughing while anger boiled inside me. "Really? That's how it's gonna be?" I half-shouted to hear over his laughter. His face suddenly went serious as he realized I was going to get revenge. I lunged forward and pushed down on his shoulders, shoving him under the water.

From underneath, he wrapped his arms around my waist and lifted me over his shoulder. I surfaced and he was laughing still. I splashed water at him and he splashed back. After a few minutes of trying to fight with him, I found myself laughing as well. We stopped splashing and he stared at me with an unreadable expression. I shook my head. "What?" I asked.

"You're laughing," he said.

"Yeah? So?" I said. He smiled. "Forget about it," he said. He dunked me and I retaliated doing the same. Am I really fooling around in the water while work needs to be done? What's happened to me? I called a truce and swam to the edge. He followed and leaned against the edge, next to me. "That was-"

"Fun," he said.

"A waste of time," I said.

"Was it? Because you looked to be enjoying yourself." I turned to face him, only to find him smirking at me. "Admit it. You like spending time with me." I was tempted to agree but I shook my head. "No. I only like pushing your head underwater so I don't have to look at you," I lied. I couldn't fight the tingling, nauseous feeling in my stomach as he chuckled. He inched closer and closer until he was right in front of me. "What-" I was interrupted by the most unexpected thing: Bellamy's lips on mine. It was an odd sensation that I couldn't describe even if I was given a million years to find the words. "Whoa…" I startled at the sound of another voice, a female voice I knew all too well.

I lurched backward and quickly found the owner of the voice. Octavia stood a few feet from the pool. "Lincoln wants to get started with prep for Mount Weather," she said, jabbing her thumb in a direction over her shoulder. "If you two are done." I quickly climbed from the pool, feeling my cheeks getting warmer by the second. I dug into my pack and pulled out my extra clothes. While I did so, Bellamy pulled himself out of the water and Octavia pulled him to the side for a private conversation. With their backs turned, I took the opportunity to change clothes. So now instead of leather pants, a black long-sleeve shirt, and a vest, I wore black jeans, a brown long-sleeved shirt, and a dark jacket. I slung my pack on my shoulder and started walking.

The sun was starting to shine through the trees, lighting the forest. I made my way to Lincoln's cave, where everyone stood outside while Finn showed everyone else how to use a gun. "Good, you're here," Finn said. "We were just starting." I glanced at Lincoln and noticed he was staring at me. No, not me. He was looking at Bellamy who was standing behind me and to the left. Once all of us got a quick tutorial on what's-what on guns, Finn set up medium sized targets for us to shoot. Octavia went first, followed by Abby. Next was my turn, but, honestly, I didn't want to even touch one. I feel more secure with weapons that I can control with my own strength. Weapons I could count on to work quickly and efficiently. But I stepped up anyway.

Finn handed me the gun and I took it. Was a little heavier than I expected, but nothing I couldn't handle. "Use the sight," Finn said, positioning my hands where they needed to go. "And don't put your finger on the trigger unless you're ready to use it." I nodded and he stepped back behind me a ways. The first shot wasn't that hard. The kickback hardly affected me at all. I handed Finn the gun. "I think I'll just stick with knives," I said. After everyone got it down, we armored up, using Yachara's letter as a guide for what we'll need. "What's a rocket launcher?" I asked no one in particular.

"This," Octavia said, showing me the enormous weapon in her hands. I shook my head at the size and Lincoln walked up to me. He held up what's called a 'hand gun'. "Keep this with you," he said. I almost said 'no' or 'why should i?' but instead, I took it and, as instructed, shoved it in my belt at my lower back. Once we were armored and ready to go, we started toward Mount Weather. The sun was full and up above the trees now, brightening up the forest to it's full light. Octavia walked beside me, carrying the rocket launcher, half way through the trek. She fell into step with me and I could tell she was about to ask a question right before she asked, "What's going on between you and Bellamy?"

"Nothing," I said, shrugging.

"Then why did I catch you two making out?" she asked, and I nearly lost it.

"What? He kissed me, and I would've pulled away if you hadn't said something," I said. "I find your brother extremely repulsive." Not completely true, but I had to say what she wanted to hear. I'm sure Lincoln told her all about me and how I'm a Reaper. She was quiet the rest of the way. We arrived at Mount Weather just after sunset. Lincoln took Finn, Bellamy, and Kane around the mountain to the Calypso entrance, while I took Abby and Octavia to the secret exit. We climbed up the side of the mountain to the flat plain just before the exit. "Stay here and follow the plan," I said. They nodded and I started back down the mountain. "Jade!" I turned and Octavia said, "Watch out for Bellamy, will you?" I nodded and continued down. I hurried to the Calypso entrance and joined the rest of the group.

Lincoln and I then split off to take out the guard posts. Lincoln stopped at the base of his and I kept slinking along the three-story fence until I reached mine. I inhaled and then started climbing the face of the fence. My foot slipped and I gasped. I quickly regained my position on the fence and kept climbing, hoping no one heard that. I made it to the top of the fence and climbed onto the back side of the guard post. It was a small, square booth, with windows in the front and a wall in the back. I climbed up to the roof and dropped to my stomach. From atop the post, I could see all the way outside the fence on the other side. I took a deep breath and looked for a way in.

A window on the right side was propped completely open. I counted to three and then grabbed hold of the edge of the roof and swung into the small building. There was one guard. A man about six feet tall, and wearing a Mount Weather uniform. I dropped to my feet, pulled out my knife, and quietly creeped up behind him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and head. My blade tore through the flesh of his trachea and he dropped to the ground. I quickly opened the door and slid down the ladder to the ground. Calypso was nothing like I imagined. I stared at the rows of houses for a minute and then took off running to the fence, where Caleb was letting in Finn, Bellamy, and Kane. Lincoln slid down from a guard post just as I was running past and he ran with me to the fence.

Kane was the last one through the fence. After he came through Caleb put the panels back into place. He turned and nodded in my direction. "Jade," he said.

"Caleb," I replied. He walked past me, leading us to the entrance into the mountain. It was what they called a 'garage entrance'. We walked along the fence until we got to a small, square, cement building. There was a silver, metal door that was very wide and very tall. Caleb tapped on it in some kind of code and a second later the door started to rise. Behind the door, a tall guy stood with his arms crossed. The guy looked over our group and then settled his eyes on me. "You Jade?" he asked, jutting his chin in my direction. I crossed my arms. "And you would be?" I asked.

"Adonis. Yachara's brother," he said. Caleb walked past him, bumping his shoulder into Adonis and motioned for everyone to follow. "Come on guys. We don't have all night," he said. Adonis sighed and rolled his eyes as everyone started following Caleb. We followed him down a ramp and into a well-lit tunnel. We followed the tunnel for what seemed like forever until it ended at another garage door. Adonis stepped forward and typed something in on the panel beside the door, causing it to rise on command. We all hurried into a very large bay filled with things I'm told are called 'cars'.

"Alright," I said, stepping in front of the group. "Here's where we split up. Finn and Adonis will go to the eighth to help Yachara and Alex. Lincoln, Kane, you two will go up to the ninth floor to search for MHP." As I spoke, the teams broke off and headed to the elevators and/or the stairs. "I guess we're taking the stairs." I bounded for the stairs with Bellamy trailing behind. We walked into the stair well and looked up. "Which floor are we going to?" he asked.

"Eleven," I said. And started up the stairs. We took them two and a time all the way up to the eleventh floor, not stopping once. I led the way through the door, into a long, white hallway with doors on either side. "Find the room where the guards sleep," I whispered. Bellamy nodded and started checking doors. I started checking the doors he didn't. After looking in half the rooms, I found the guards' bunk. I quietly shut the door and tried to think of someway to lock it. I glanced up at the touch-screen panel beside the door. I sighed and tried my best to use it. Bellamy came up beside me and told me he could do it better, so I moved out of the way and let him try. He successfully locked the door within minutes. "It's locked. Now what?" Bellamy asked, turning toward me.

When he turned, I was looking over his shoulder at the screen, so I was extremely close to him. I stepped back and took a second to think. "Eighth floor," I said, walking back to the stairs. I heard a sigh of annoyance as I started down the stairs. We made it down to the eighth floor. All the doors walking down the hallway that would normally be in our way were open. We made it to the quarantine area where Yachara, who I assume is Alex, Lincoln, and Kane were still unlocking doors. A blonde girl was also unlocking doors. She was barefoot with only a white tank top and shorts. "Hey Princess," Bellamy said, walking past her to another locked door.

I didn't waste time eavesdropping on their conversation. I hurried to a locked door and Alex tossed me a key card. I nodded and he nodded back and I unlocked the door. I pulled open the door and stepped inside. A tall, skinny guy with dark hair, also wearing white clothing, stood just inside the door. "What's going on?" he asked. "Who are you?"

"We're breaking everyone out. My name is Jade; I'm one of the good guys. C'mon," I said. I stepped back and ushered him into the hall. "I'm Jasper," he said, as I walked into the hall with him. "I don't think I've ever seen you before."

"I'm a grounder," I said, opening the cell door next to Jasper's cell. I glanced at him and noticed he looked at me warily. I pulled open the door and ushered another kid into the hallway. Everyone continued this process until all of them were out. The next task is getting them all out alive.
