When I find Finn, he is standing next to a blonde, Octavia, a boy with goggles, Jaha's son, and a boy with black hair. I walk over. "Oh! Roxzie, this is Clarke, Monty, Jasper and Wells." He points to each person.
I hide behind Finn slightly, I nod. "Hi." I'm still not used to people I guess.
The one named Jasper walks closer to me, I take a step back. "Jesus, you look scared."
"What are you doing Clarke?" I ask her, trying to get Jasper to stop looking at me.
She points to the map "we are going to mount weather." I nod "Oh, cool, can I come?" I ask. "No," Finn says. "Yes, of course!" Clarke says.
I frown "Okay Clarke, let's move out." I say quietly, grabbing Octavia's hand.
She looked angry, I looked at Bellamy who was standing behind us. I guess they had a fight... I frown and gently pull her along with me.
"Where are we going, Clarke?" I ask she speeds up to the front of the group and points forward. "If this map is correct, we go this way pretty much the whole way." I nod and look to Octavia, she seems to be deep in thought until she pulls her hand away from mine and waits for Finn to catch up before walking beside him. Finn bent down and picked up a flower, placing it into her hair. She blushed, I looked away and pressed on.
Monty then said something about poison sumac, I grinned when Octavia swatted it out of her hair. "Relax, it's mediational." They then tease each other over the fact that Monty stole some type of herb and forgetting to replace it. I smiled as I listened to their stories. "Hey, your name is Roxzie right?" Monty asked, I nodded slowly.
You won't get into trouble for talking to someone anymoreSally's voice rang through my head. Sally always calmed me down, I guess that's why I made her, other than being lonely of course.
I looked at Monty and realized I hadn't replied "Yeah, I-I am... You're Monty?" I tried to control my breathing. If I were on the Ark right now I would have gotten at least ten lashes for breaking the rules. "It's nice to meet you. I have never seen you before. Not even in lock-up." He spoke gently, I could tell he was trying to be careful of my feelings. I smiled at him and nodded "Uh, yeah, as punishment I was never allowed to talk to anyone... Except for Bellamy, Murphy and Bryne." I laughed, tossing my head back.
"One time, I got into so much trouble because I hid under my bed and Bellamy was trying to feed me, when I got out from under the bed, I ran to each corner of the room until he gave up and laid on my bed." I could barely contain my laughter at this point, I wanted to holler with it. I grabbed onto my stomach "From then on we played cat and mouse every once and awhile. Next time we are in camp I will show you. He gets so angry." I had stopped laughing and I was just smiling brightly.
I peeked back at Finn, he looked like he was going to cry. I stopped walking. "What's wrong?" He shakes his head and looks at Octavia. "So, what did you get locked up for?" Octavia frowns and looks at her feet. "For being born," she ran ahead of all of us, catching up with Clarke who kept pressing forward.
I frowned and watched her run ahead. Jasper said some smart-ass comment to Monty, who laughed.
Soon we were all crouched in a small group, watching a deer eat some grass. Finn stepped forward and snapped a twig that was under his foot. The deer looked toward us, we all jumped back slightly. The right side of its face was mutated. When it ran off we pushed forward, we reached a lake.
"This isn't supposed to be here." Clarke stated as she looked at the map. I stood behind her, examining the map.
"Man, I love earth." Jasper said loud enough to catch everyone's attention, we all looked in the direction he was.
I tilted my head why would she do that? I ask, glancing at Sally who was leaning against a nearby tree. "Because she wants to go for a swim, or she is showing her body off to our brother." She replied, looking bored.
I nodded and watched as everyone yelled her to get out of the water. Before she could something grabbed her and dragged her underwater. When she came back up Finn pushed a large rock into the water, and Jasper dragged her out of the water onto shore. I quickly made my way down to them, I ripped half of my shirt off and handed it to Clarke. She wrapped it around Octavia's wound. We gave the option to give up and go back to camp or to go on. Octavia said she was fine, so we pressed on. I stayed silent as I changed the songs until I found one that I liked, I stuffed it into my pocket, putting a headphone into my right ear.
Monty looked at me weirdly, trying to see what I was doing, what was hanging out of my ear. He stepped closer to me, I stiffened until he reached for my other headphone. His eyes widened when he figured out what it was "We can listen to it when we get back okay?" I said quietly.
Before we're able to move anywhere we had to figure out a way to get across the river without being eaten by that serpent thing. Finn then came out with a large vine. He was about to get on when Jasper told him that he wanted to go first. Jasper went and searched the area, he bent down and held up a sign that said "Mount weather" on it.
We cheered along him, soon the cheering stopped as a spear went into his chest, pinning him to the tree. Finn made me duck down with the others. I stared at Jasper, looking at his wound.
"It isn't on the side where his heart is. He is still breathing; the spear went through him in order to stick to the tree. Only slow bleeding. Didn't hit anything major. I would say he has about an hour before he goes into shock. We need to get him." I said to Sally, by the looks on everyone's face I said it all out loud.
Oops.
We stood and watched as someone dragged him away. "Jasper!" Monty called.
Finn made us turn around and head back to camp. Monty and I tried to fight him. "We need more power if we plan on getting him back," Finn yelled at us, making it the final word.
I rolled my eyes but stayed quiet, running back to camp. When we were almost there Octavia couldn't walk anymore, Finn picked her up and carried her towards camp.
We stopped, however, when we saw all of the teens in a circle. Wells had Murphy in a headlock.
I frowned, rolling my eyes I walked into the camp, towards the dropship.
