Waking up the following morning, I saw Wells who seemed off, while we were out of the camp, digging. He wouldn't tell me, something obviously had happened during the night, but I couldn't figure it out. At least, not until, we had brought the two dead kids from the ship, not till Well's removed his jacket. Showing that his right wrist was bare. He didn't have the wristband on. Seeing this I glued together what likely happened. Bellamy, or Murphy, maybe both had forcibly removed the wristband.

"Are you alright?" I asked, wanting it to be clear, I was talking about his well being.

He didn't look up, as he finished stripping the two dead boys. Knowing we'd be able to use their clothes at some point.

I let out a sigh, "Was it both of them?"

"He had a gun" Wells finally replied, going on, "Bellamy had a gun, he threatened to shoot me, I told him to, but he was only distracting me, so Murphy and his thugs could pin me down and remove the wristband.

With a sigh I gave a response, "I'm sorry, I should've stayed up with you, I should've known better then to close my eyes so soon."

He shook his head, placing the first body into a grave, "It's not your fault, you needed to sleep, I'd just watch out, they'll want yous and Clarkes next" I nodded. as I began burying the dead boy. While Wells did the same with the other. We worked in silence. feeling the warm sun burn into us through the trees. Once I had finished I looked to Wells, "I'm going to go find a tree, keep your head and nose down" I ordered, then walked into the woods. Really I didn't need to go to the bathroom, I just wanted to walk, away from the camp. See what I could find, I hadn't seen any animals yet, did they die from the radiation? I only hoped Clarke's group were on their way back with supplies from Mount Weather.

While walking I ended up far enough a way from camp that I couldn't hear the ruckus, I came across prints in the ground, kneeling down I observed the most perfect one I could find, the print looked almost human, but deformed looking. It had four long toes at the top portion of the print, with another tow being farther down the foot, suggesting whatever this print belonged to, the creature had opposable toes. Monkey? Gorilla? Or even deformed human? The print I could tell was old, about a few days old, suggesting whatever it belonged to was alive, at least when it made this print. So, something's alive down here. I stood up quickly hearing the sound of twigs breaking and leafs crumbling. I had a hand on the grip end of my gun, pulling it out as I heard the sound of not one thing, but multiple things running in my direction. I then held my gun up, steady, predicting where I would see whatever was coming. If it were a monkey or gorilla of sorts, I wouldn't stand a chance.

Thankfully, what ran out into view wasn't something alien to me, but it was Clarke, followed by Octavia, Finn and the Asian. They were missing the kid with the goggles. I dropped my hand, sticking the gun back where I had it, running over to them.

"You have a gun?" Clarke panted, out of breath.

I shrugged, "Yea, so does Bellamy, where's the goggle kid, where's Jasper?" I questioned, then saw Octavia wad a rip in her pants and was wrapped, up, "What happened?"

"They got him, we need to get to camp now" Clarke ordered, I nodded running the way I had came, with them on my tail. We made it in time to see Wells had a knife to a Murphys neck. So much for laying low. "Wells! Let him go!" Clarke barked, as she ran ahead of me. Wells did as he was told and pushed Murphy away, and down.

Murphy quickly got up, in that instant I ran in front of Wells, just as Bellamy had grabbed the lunging Murphy, "Enough, Murphy" Only to let him go, when he saw Octavia limping, being helped by the Asian kid, "Octavia, are you all right?" He then walked over, to help her walk, then realizing they had no food, "Where's the food?"

Finn then responded, "We didn't make it to Mount Weather"

"Then, what the hell happened out there?" Bellamy demanded, not happy with the answer Finn gave.

Then it was Clarkes turn, with a fearful tone, "We were attacked"

"Attacked by what?" Wells questioned, I then thought about the foot prints, an ape?

Finn then answered both questions, "Not what. Who. Turns out, when the last man from the ground died on the Ark, he wasn't the last grounder." He stated.

"We're wrong" I whispered, Clarke nodded, looking away from me to Bellamy.

"Everything we thought we knew about the ground is wrong" She then went on, louder, "There are people here, survivors" she then looked to the group of teens behind us, sensing they were about to become senseless, "The good news is, that means we can survive. Radiation won't kill us."

I shook my head, "But the things alive down here can" I said.

Finn a bit after then gave his realization also, "Yeah, bad news is the grounders will."

Wells then noticed that someone was missing, "Where's the kid with the goggles?"

I looked to Clarke, before answering the question, "The grounders got him, how?"

Clarke nodded, looking to Wells and I, "Jasper was hit." She then whispered, "They took him" She then pulled Wells hand, noticing that his wristband was gone, her tone changed form fearful to a motherly annoyed tone, "Where is your wristband?"

I looked to Bellamy as Wells answered, "Ask him" looking at Bellamy.

"Man, I bet you want our people down here now don't you" I hissed, venom dripping from my words, "He, they all started taking them off last night" I informed Clarke. Who looked irked.

She turned and looked to Bellamy, "How many?" she demanded.

Then Murphy responded, speaking up for his leader, "twenty-four and counting" Morons.

Then Clarke went on a speech, loud so everyone could hear, "you idiots, life support on the Ark is failing. That's why they brought us down here. They need to know the ground is survivable again, and we need their help against whoever is out there." she took a breath, before continuing, "If you take off your wristbands, you're not just killing them. You're killing us."

I shook my head, looking to Bellamy, "Go on, about your lies"

As if accepting the invitation, he then countered Clarke, "We're stronger than you think. Don't listen to her. Or the other two, they are the privileged." I crossed my arms over my chest, listening to his predictable speech, "If they come down, they'll have it good. How many of you can say the same?" He paused, for a dramatic effect then went on, "We can take care of ourselves. That wristband on your arm? It makes you a prisoner. We're not prisoners anymore!"

"Except we are, we're stuck down here with nothing. There are less then a hundred of us, two people died day one, and who knows if Jasper is alive, we are stuck here with got knows how many things out there that want to kill us." I looked to the crowd, "Everything we've been taught about the ground is wrong, we need them to come down here. Death doesn't care about your status. Privileged, unprivileged, it doesn't matter when you're dead." I then looked to Bellamy, "why continue with the class bullshit? Down here we're all equal, we'll die. If they come down here, we at least stand a chance to fight, to live!"

Bellamy then went to talk, "We are fighters, we are survivors! The grounders should worry about us!" He earned cheers from the crowd.

"Morons." I turned to Clarke, who stood next to Finn, "Lets get Jasper."

They both nodded in agreement. Octavia and the Asian, known as Monty, joined us both nodding in agreement.

Wells then joined us, "What's the plan?"

I looked at Octavia, observing her leg then looking to Monty, "You're both not going" I declared.

"You can't boss me around" Octavia declared glaring at me.

Then Monty objected as well, "he's my best friend I'm going"

I rolled my eyes, "No. Octavia you're hurt, you'll only slow us down. If we get ambushed out there, we need to be able to get out and run." I stated, then looked at Monty, "If I recall correctly, you were recruited by engineering, right?" He nodded simply, then I went on, "Communication is your job, we need to get a hold of the Ark."

"Who's going then?" Fin asked.

Letting out a sigh looking behind my back, eyes on Bellamy, "we need the extra gun" I whispered, Then looked to Finn, "you too, for tracking. Clarke also, she'll be able to at asset Jaspers condition, I'll be going as well. "

Finn let out a huff of a laugh and walked away. I looked to Clarke, "Work on him, I'm going to see if I can persuade Bellamy and someone else to volunteer" With that I walked away, to do talk.
