I had began to follow Octavia only to remember, we had to get somewhere safe. Somewhere where there was food. We needed to get to Mount Weather. Looking back towards the ship I saw Clarke had stepped off of the ship. Walking towards her seeing she had a map in her hand, I then snatched it out of her hand. Walking away from the drop ship. Clarke on my heels, trying to get it back.
"We need a view" I informed her walking away from the large group of delinquents. Finding a place, away, with no trees in the way, I proceeded to unroll the map. Looking down at it then back up and back down. Clarke then took the map, realizing the same thing I had. We were on the wrong mountain. Mount Weather was past the forest below us.
"Crap" I whispered, aloud. She then took map, observing it and the view, coming to the conclusion I had. We were on the wrong mountain.
"Why so serious Princesses?" The moronic space walker, Finn questioned, walking closer, "Or princess and the maid of the Ark?" Earning dirty looks.
I let out a huff, "Moron", then walked away, letting Clarke deal with him. Walking back past the group, I got onto the ship, to see Wells still standing in the doorway. I shook my head as I walked up to him.
"It's really, really stupid that you got yourself arrested, Jaha"I stated, standing in front of him, referring to him by his last name. As my father referred to his.
He looked to me, "I had to. I couldn't live with myself otherwise." he stated simply.
"You're going to get yourself killed. You're not going to live much longer anyways." I replied, walking past him into the ship.
"I have the same chances as you do" He retorted following me into the ship.
I just shook my head, "No, no you don't, your father pretty much locked everyone of us up. And he risked the lives of us all. Probably floated a lot of their parents also. " I paused going on, "I know mine did also, but he's just following rules, rules your dad didn't have to enforce." I chuckled, "Plus, I stand a better chance of fighting everyone then you do, now get to the roof, see if we can get communications up, check under the panels" I ordered.
"Our main focus should be getting to Mount Weather" Clarke stated, once she was next to me, I nodded in agreement. Jumping onto the door, sitting on it, while she had set map down next to me. I looked up observing the rest of the group, all still wild.
I was doubtful anyone would follow us, or be smart enough to realize we needed to get to the right mountain, I made sure Clarke was aware, "We aren't going to get any of these people to follow us, even if they were smart enough to realize we wouldn't last long, they would rather take the time to hang us, for our status's on the Ark" I paused going on, "You they might spare however, unlike my parents and Well's father, your parents didn't have a hand in floating people, or locking anyone up. People will likely want to hurt Jaha, by killing Wells. The idiot didn't think before coming down here."
She nodded, "Agreed, he didn't think. He's not really good at thinking before he acts either though" she whispered, referring to her past, when she told Wells that the Ark was dying, and he had told Jaha about her father going public. Resulting in her father being floated, as well as causing both Clarke and I to be locked up.
I let out a sigh shutting my eyes, "I'll do what my father would do, I'll watch out for both you and him." Reopening my eyes I saw Wells walking over, I didn't like the look on his face. "I'll protect both of you, from the rest of the group, as it's my duty."
Before Clarke could respond Wells interjected, "We got problems. The communications system is dead" He then looked at me, "A dozen panels are missing, heat fried the wires"
I looked away, whispering a line of curses. What did Jaha think, stuffing us onto a hundred year old ship? Did he even think to get it looked over, to be assured that this bucket wouldn't fall apart upon landing?
"Well, all that matters right now is getting to Mount Weather." Clarke stated, She then proceeded to show Wells, where we were on the map, and where we needed to go.
"Yeah, should be easy, getting through the, radiation soaked forest, that stands between us and our next meal" I muttered, with sarcasm and dread in my tone.
I looked to, Wells whom nodded, taking in the information Clarke and I were giving him, "Where'd you learn to do that." he asked Clarke, Idiot... Clarke then went quiet, I rested a hand on her shoulder, gripping it comfortably. As Wells realized quickly who taught her, "Your father" He almost whispered.
Looking back up I saw the kid from the Ark, the on with goggles walk close. I raised an eyebrow as he spoke, "Ah, cool, a map." He said with pure sarcasm, I rolled my eyes as he went on, "They got a bar in town? I'll buy you a beer?" He questioned, with a sarcastic humor.
Wells, then turned to the kid, "You mind?" he asked as he pushed the kid back.
"Wells, stop it. Now" I said, with a commanding tone, not liking the attention Wells was causing. The rest of the camp was starting to look over at us.
That's when another came in, with a beak of a nose, and oddly spaced out eyes. Came into the scene from behind "Hey, hey, hey", Wells then looked to the kid followed by a large group of other kids. On instinct I got up, pushing both Clarke and Wells behind me. Putting myself behind this kid, I recognized, John Murphy, a pyro, he set fire in an officers quarters/
He looked down at me, with amusement, "wow, luck you got a cute little body guard, not that she can do much, being surrounded by, what 96 people?" He walked closer, so I could feel his hot breath hitting my face. while more of the group of delinquents surrounded us.
"Back off " I ordered, calmly, "Fighting here would do no one any good"
Wells then spoke up, like a moron, "We're just trying to figure out where we are."
That's when Bellamy spoke up, "We're on the ground. That's not good enough for you?" I rolled my eyes looking over at him, seeing Octavia next to him. She seemed to share the mindset as her brother.
More people crowded, Wells spoke in a loud tone so they all could hear him. Moron. "We need to find Mount Weather" He walked a way from Clarke and I. He went on, "You heard my fathers message, that has to be our first priority" Moron. Mentioning his father.
"Screw your father." Octavia responded, going on as she didn't get a reply, "What, you think you're in charge here? You and your little princess." She then looked to me, "I bet without Jonah, you'd be pretty much on your own"
I I didn't like her condescending tone. It seemed Clarke wasn't a fan either as she spoke up, before I could.
"Do you think we care who's in charge? We need to get to Mount Weather, not because the chancellor said so, but because the longer we wait, the hungrier we'll get and the harder this'll be." She stated loudly.
"How long are any of us going to live without those supplies?" I questioned, as I stuck close behind Clarke, keep myself in the way of John Murphy and his group, Murphy had in his hand what looked like a make shift knife. Seeing it caused me to slowly reach a hand behind me, resting my palm on the handle of the gun, still tucked away, I didn't want to use it, but if it came down to it, I would.
Clarke then went on, "We're looking at a 20 mile trek. Okay? So, if we want to get there before dark we need to leave now." Clarke ordered. I let out a sigh, already knowing what would happen next
"I got a better idea you go, find it for us, let the privilege do the hard work for a change" Bellamy responded, many of the group agreed in unison.
"We already were going to. Why the hell would we stay here, when we know where there's, shelter and food?" I replied, whipping around, walking in front of both Clarke and Wells "you really would rather stay here, without either of those things, while we go where it's at?" I let out a huff of a laugh, "When we find it what makes you think, we would come back with any of it? Why would either of them, with you lot being as hostile as you currently are" I took a breathe and went on, "Would you go back to help the people that were coming off as threats?"
He then walked up closer to me, Octavia in tow, "If you don't we'd hunt you down" He replied, in a bitter and threatening tone.
I chuckled, "That's cute, now tell me real quick, without looking at anyone else for help, or the map, tell me which way is Mount Weather?" I knew already, he, nor the rest of the group, didn't know where to go. They were all busy partying here.
Then Wells spoke up, "You're not listening. We all need to go." He then let out a huff, turning around I saw Murphy had gotten in the middle.
"Look at this, everybody, chancellor of earth" He stated, getting laughs from the majority of the group.
Well's rolled his eyes, responding, "You think that's funny?"
In that moment he was knocked down. Clarke was being held back, while Wells only got back up, his leg was obviously injured. But the fool had put his hands up. While I got in the way, holding a better fighting stance, with my pointed knuckles showing, with my pointer knuckles pointed outwards a bit, so if i needed to, I could cause this man more pain, and knock him down, with enough pressure to the right spot.
"No but this is pretty funny, you have a little guard even down here, what going to let this little girl fight for you?" Murphy taunted Wells.
I held my stance, staying in the way, between the pair of them. Just as Murphy was preparing to lunge, I readied myself to lunge, wanting to get his neck, to knock the air out of him. Someone had jumped in the way. The Spacewalker, Finn.
He stood with his back to me and Wells, "Come on Murphy, the guy has only one leg, while the knight, she's probably a better fighter. How about you wait till it's a fair fight? I'll even hold the knight out of the way" he suggested.
Murphy, let out a sort of growl and walked away. While Octavia walked up.
"Hey, Spacewalker" She spoke, gaining Finns attention, "Rescue me next" She was than pulled away by her brother, then the rest of the group walked away.
Clarke walked closer, kneeling down to Wells, examining his leg.
"Sprained or broken?" I asked her, staying on my feet, still ready to fight. If I let down my guard, that would be stupid.
"Badly sprained" Clarke responded, while Wells, grunted as she messed with his ankle, "He should stay off it for a bit" She added
At that moment Finn had walked over, again, "So, Mount Weather? When do we leave?" He questioned, volunteering himself. I'll admit it I was caught a bit off guard, then again he did jump in to stop a fight.
"Right now" Clarke responded, standing up, "We'll be back tomorrow" She informed Wells, then looked over at me.
I put my hand up before she could speak, "I was already planning on standing put." Looking down at Wells, I added, "I don't trust him to be left alone, I presume Murphy, or someone else will try something again." I looked back up at Clarke adding, more, "Looks as if he does have his own guard detail as his father did." I then looked at Finn, with a serious tone adding, "Anything happens to her, you'll have not only me to deal with, but any injury to, she has skills we need." He only smiled and nodded, promising to keep her safe. Good.
Then Wells spoke up, pointing out the obvious, "How are the two of you gonna carry enough food for a hundred people?"
Then Finn grabbed two random people, I recognized the one with goggles, while the other person was smelling a leaf, must've been the accomplice to goggle-boys crime, "Four of us. Can we go now?" Finn asked, getting impatient with Wells. With Finns hands on the Asian boys neck, I saw his wrist band, it was scratched up. I elbowed Clarke, motioning her to look where I was looking.
At that moment Octavia then plugged herself back into the group, "Sounds like a party make it five"
Her brother than walked up, pulling her, "What the hell are you doing?" he demanded.
She gave a sassy response, "Going for a walk"
Before the siblings could bicker some more, it had seem Clarke had noticed what I had, "Hey, were you trying to take this off?"
"Yeah, so?" Finn responded, the moron obviously didn't put much thought into, why we all had the wristband on to begin with.
I then interjected, "Moron, it's probably transmitting your vital signs to the Ark. Currently, that is the only way so that they" I pointed up towards the sky, "know we're still alive, take it off they'll think we're dead"
"Should I care?" Finn questioned, the moron.
Clarke then went on hitting an emotional question, "Well, I don't know. Do you want the people you love to think you're dead? Do you want them to follow you down here in a few months?" She paused, noticing it seemed to hit the Spacewalker.
I then took over, "they won't if they thing we're dying. We're down here to make sure earth is inhabitable."
He seemed to understand us fully, looking down in some shame. Once he looked up Clarke nodded.
"Okay, now let's go." She ordered, Finn led the two kids he grabbed, while Octavia gained approval from her brother. While Clarke walked towards Wells and I. Looking to Wells she sighed, "You shouldn't have come here. Wells. Keep an eye on him Jonah" She whispered the last part looking at me.
"Keep an eye on yourself also" I replied, with a nod she then walked away, to join the other four.
I looked to Bellamy, and narrowed my eyes. Something was off about him, currently. He finally looked to see me glaring, then turned to walk away. Leaving me with Wells.
