Hey all! Here is chapter 2! I told you it would be longer! :)

Willow wove her way through the other excited delinquents and back to the drop ship. She had taken some time to walk off into the forest to see what she could find. She picked up a bunch of stones that were really nothing special, but she couldn't help but marvel at them. As she was headed towards the spacecraft she ran her fingers over a particular large red stone. It had caught her eye since it stood out so much against the ever-prominent green of the woods. It was smooth and almost a perfect oval. She smiled as she zipped it into her jacket pocket. Her first memento of Earth.

"Willow!" Called a familiar voice and she turned to see Jasper jogging over to her with Monty following closely behind. "This is freaking amazing right?!" Jasper exclaimed with a grin to match hers and Monty's.

"It really is." She said as she released a happy sigh and spun around slowly to take in her surroundings. There were multiple groups of delinquents huddled around the drop ship, laughing, running, and playfully pushing each other around. Everyone was so happy and excited to be on Earth. Well, almost everyone. Her eyes landed on Clarke and a tall dark skinned boy. Wells Jaha. She remembered him from the drop ship. He and Clarke hadn't looked like they were on the best of terms then. They both had serious looks plastered to their faces as they stared down at a tan cloth.

"Man they seem like a load of fun." Jasper joked as he strode over to them with a cocky movement that flowed through his hips and shoulders. "Cool, a map." He grinned. "They got a bar in this town? I'll buy you a beer." He said with a laugh but the young Jaha turned and grabbed him by his jacket and pushed him back. "Do you mind?" He spoke flowing with irritation.

"Hey hey hey!" A voice called from a few feet in the trees. "Hands off of him, he's with us." A boy with a flat face, large eyes, and slicked back hair emerged in front of them with a posse of other guys. Willow and Monty looked at each other, eyebrows knotted in confusion and stepped forward to the rest of the group.

Wells took his hands off of Jasper and raised them to show he didn't want trouble. "Relax. We're just trying to figure out where we are."

"We're on the ground!" Called another from behind them. Willow turned to see the same guy from the spacecraft, Bellamy, and his sister. "Is that not good enough for you?" He continued. The two of them looked at Wells as if he were the most annoying, disgusting bug on the face of the planet. Willow knew people were angry at the Ark's law enforcement and all of its rules, hell she was angry, but she could tell people were taking it out on Wells even though he didn't deserve it. Wells rolled his eyes and looked back at Bellamy. "We need to find Mount Weather. You heard my father's message, that has to be our first priority."

"Screw your father." Octavia retorted. "What? You think you're in charge here? You and your little princess?" Willows heart beat began to pick up and her hands turned sweaty as she sensed the tension in the air.

"Do you really think we care who's in charge?" began Clarke. "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 will be. How long do you think we'll last without those supplies?" Just like it was cued, Willow's stomach growled. She was already hungry and was pretty worried about that fact that they were no where near the food supply they were promised. She was brought out of her thoughts as Clarke continued her speech. "We're looking at a twenty mile trek, okay? So if we want to get there before dark, we need to leave. Now." It sounded like a pretty good plan to Willow. Get to Mount Weather, get to the food.

"I have a better idea." Bellamy said looking at Clarke and Wells. "You two go. Find it for us. Let the privileged do the hard work for a change." The group that had seemed to gather all around them cheered in Bellamy's favor.

"You're not listening. We all need to go." Wells said, trying to convince the camp to head to safety. Just then, the flat faced boy camp up from behind the young Jaha and pushed him. "Would you look at that everybody? The Chancellor of Earth." He mused as the crowed around them snickered.

"You think that's funny?" Wells said, taking a step forward. Flat face took that opportunity to step one foot behind Wells and push him back, causing him to trip and fall to the floor with a hard thud. Willow audibly gasped as she heard what sounded like a crack come from his ankle.

"No but that was." The boy said with a crooked grin. Wells quickly got up but his ankle was definitely hurt, causing him to falter slightly. Regardless he put his hands up to prepare to fight. The other boy did a few fake out punches and advances, clearly soaking up the fact that Wells was unfit to fight. Willow felt a small lump form in her throat. They had been down on Earth for less than an hour and people were already trying to kill each other. She took a small step forward and was about to say something when the boy who had been floating during their decent jumped from the drop ship, in between the two boys. He turned to Flat Face in a cool, collected demeanor.

"The kids got one leg. How about you wait until it's a fair fight?" The two delinquents had a stare down and Willow couldn't help but smile as the once cocky boy finally had nothing to say. The Blake girl walked forward in determination. "Hey Spacewalker, rescue me next." The crowed laughed and Flat Face walked away and the mood instantly became lighter. The crowed dissipated and everyone resumed what they had previously been up to.

Willow turned to Monty and Jasper and let out a relieved laugh. "First day and we are already handing out death threats and fighting. You'd think we were a bunch of criminals." She joked and the two boys replied with a small laugh. Jasper and Monty had began talking to a few others who were left around them, but Willow was in her own head. Nothing had really been resolved. There was talk about Mount Weather and going to get supplies, but even after Clarke's speech, everyone sort of just walked away after the fight. Were people really okay with not eating, or even sleeping outside for days when they had no idea what was out there? She was snapped out of her thoughts when a strong arm wrapped around her left shoulder and she was being turned and smushed into the side of Jasper.

"Five of us." Said the one they call Spacewalker who held Willow, Jasper, and Monty in front of him while he spoke to Clarke.

"Wait what?" Willow chimed in as she looked over at him. He just sent her a quick grin and turned back to Clarke. "Can we go now?" He continued. Go? It took her a second but she had realized they were throwing together a group to head to Mount Weather. What else could they be talking about when Clarke was involved.

"Sounds like a party!" Chimed Octavia and she jogged over to them. "Make it six." Jasper grinned and lightly elbowed Willow and Monty. They both chuckled and shook their heads. Of course he was into her. Octavia had a smile spread across her face, but her brother obviously didn't feel her enthusiasm as he followed after her and gently grabbed her arm. "What the hell are you doing?" He asked. Octavia's face turned into pure annoyance as she pulled her arm away from Bellamy. "Going for a walk." She stated coldly.

Out of no where, Clarke lightly pushed Willow aside and grabbed the Spacewalker's right wrist. "Hey. We're you trying to take this off?" She asked him as she examined the bracelet from the Ark. There was a large black mark across the top of it that made it obvious he had been tampering with it.

"Yeah. So?"

"So, this wristband transmits your vital signs to the Ark." Clarke said, her eyebrows pulled together in worry. "Take it off and they'll think you're dead."

"Should I care?" Spacewalker said coolly.

"Well I don't know," Clark spat back. "do you want the people you love to think you're dead? Do you want them to follow you down here in two months? Because they won't if they think we're dying." Willow noticed the Blake boy stiffen slightly, followed by a look of deep thought. Willow narrowed her eyes at his reaction. He didn't look nervous about that fact that the Ark would think they we're dying, in fact, he almost looked relieved.

Spacewalker looked at Clarke and then to the ground, seeming to understand what she was saying to him. "Okay," Clarke continued, clearly glad that she had gotten her point across. "Now let's go." There was a small pause, but Spacewalker lead the way followed by Jasper, then Willow, Monty, and finally Octavia who had gotten the approval from her brother. Clarke stopped to talk to Wells, so the group paused at the outskirts of the landing sight. Jasper had immediately began flirting… or at least began trying to flirt with the ever-so-lovely Octavia Blake. Monty was crouched down checking out the plants and Spacewalker… Willow made a face. She had no idea what his name was. She'd seen him all over the place. Floating through the drop ship, running around in the woods, stopping fights, and putting together search groups and she had still managed to only catch Spacewalker. She took a few steps closer to him. He looked down at her with a cool smile. "Well hello." He chimed.

Willow cleared her throat at his tone and shook it off. "You know," she began. "if I'm going to let you lead us through the unknown forest, I should probably know your real name. That way if we all die, I can signal to the others who was to blame." She turned her head to look at him and he met her jokes with a simple chuckle and ran a hand through his hair. "Finn. Finn the Spacewalker." He said and she nodded. She felt his gaze on her and she lifted her eyes to him to see him staring at her, his eyebrows extended as if he was waiting for her to say something. "Oh!" she exclaimed, her face turning a shade of pink at her dullness. "Willow, like the tree." He laughed and nodded. "Well it's nice to meet you Willow like the tree." She rolled her eyes at his dumb retort as Clarke finally arrived at the group. They all turned and headed into the forest and headed for Mount Weather.

They had been walking through the woods for a while and Willow had started to regret the trip. She had never really been one for physical exertion and this hike required a lot of stepping over logs and rocks, trekking up hills, and dodging tree and bush branches. She was farther behind the rest of the group by a few feet but she could still see Finn place a small purple flower behind Octavia's ear. Jasper and Monty paused and she caught up to them easily.

"Now that my friend, is game." Jasper pointed out. "Oh please." Willow scoffed and she passed between them with a laugh, continuing on their path. "That, my friend, is poison sumac." Monty chimed in causing Octavia to quickly brush the flower out of her hair.

"What? It is?" She asked sounding mildly freaked out.

"The flowers aren't poisonous, they're medicinal. Calming actually." Monty added shoving the flower into his mouth and began chewing with a grin.

"His family grows all the pharmaceuticals on the Ark." Jasper added to clear up Monty's seemingly random knowledge.

"Hey guys! Would you try to keep up?" Clark called looking slightly annoyed. Everyone seemed to be enjoying this little journey and getting to know each other but Clarke was all focus and no fun.

"Come on Clarke, how do you block all this out?" Finn asked gesturing to the beautiful scenery around them.

"Well it's simple." Clarke said as the group came to a halt. "I wonder, why haven't we seen any animals? Maybe it's because there are none. Maybe we've already been exposed to enough radiation to kill us… sure is pretty though." Willow and Monty shared a glance. "Come on." Clarke added as she quickly turned and continued walking.

"Isn't she the life of the party." Willow stated sarcastically. Octavia let out a light, snort at Willow. "Yeah, maybe someone should slip her some poison sumac." They all shared a laugh and resumed walking after Clarke.

"I've gotta know what you two did to get busted." Finn inquired at Jasper and Monty.

"Sumac isn't the only herb in the garden… if you know what I mean." Monty responded. "Yeah, and someone forgot to replace what we took." Jasper added giving Monty the eye. "Someone has apologized, like, a thousand times!" Finn cut off their mini quarrel and turned to Willow.

"And what about you, Willow like the tree?" Willows heart flew up into her throat and her chest tightened. She swallowed hard and quickly put a playful look on her face. "Oh you know, just trying to be the hero… and stop calling me that."

"How about you Octavia?" Jasper pressed. "What did they get you for?" He had a smooth grin on his face that quickly turned to confusion as Octavia's face went stone cold. "For being born." She replied coldly and jogged ahead to catch up with Clarke.

Willow made a hissing noise and looked at Jasper. "Ouch, not so smooth." Monty nodded. "That is so not game." He said to his friend and they began a small arm slapping match. Willow laughed internally and walked a head of them.

Clarke and Octavia were crouched down looking out at something. The four of them knelt down next to them and looked out at what Clarke silently pointed to. Out in the field was a beautiful, majestic stag. They all fell silent in wonder as they watched the animal feed on the grass. "No animals huh?" Finn said with a pleased smile and then inched forward a bit to get a better look. As he moved forward, he stepped on a stick the cracked underneath his shoe. The deer quickly looked up at the sound and turned to face them.

"What the hell?!" Willow exclaimed in a hushed voice as the others jumped slightly with a gasp. The deer had been deformed. There was another smaller head growing out of the side of the original skull. Everyone stared in horror as the deer ran off in the other direction. They all exchanged concerned glances as they all mutually thought the worst, the radiation on this planet was definitely not safe.

They had continued walking, the mood a little more solemn then before until Finn broke the silence. "You know what I'd like to know? Why send us down today after 97 years? What changed?"

"Who cares." Octavia replied. "I'm just glad they did. I woke up rotting in a cell, and now, I'm spinning in a forest." She said as she hooked her arm around the trunk of a small tree and twirled around it.

"Maybe they found something in the satellite." Monty interjected as Willow passed by Jasper who had momentarily stopped to smile at Octavia. Willow smiled and shook her head at his flirting attempts. "You know, like an old weather satellite or-"

"I wasn't a satellite," Clarke interrupted. "The Ark is dying." Everyone stopped in their tracks and Willow's heart skipped a beat. Dying? How could no one tell them that the Ark was dying? As the group turned to look at Clarke with faces full of worry and confusion, it finally dawned on her what the Ark was trying to do with the 100.

"With the current population level there is roughly three months left of life support, maybe four now that we're gone." Clarke continued as she walked through the stunned group of teenagers.

"So that was the secret they locked you up to keep, why the kept you in solitary, floated your old man?" Finn finally asked. Clarke didn't seem phased much by the question, but Willow could still see the struggle in the way Clarke moved, a struggle Willow knew all too well.

"My father was the engineer who discovered the flaw. He thought the people had a right to know. The council disagreed. My mother disagreed. They were afraid it would cause a panic. We were gonna go public, anyway, when Wells-" Clark stopped short and kept her gaze off into the distance.

"What, turned in your dad?"

"Anyway, the guard showed up before we could. That's why today. That's why it was worth the risk. Even if we all die, at least they bought themselves more time." Clarke finally finished. Though Clarke was talking to the group, Willow felt odd listening in on her tragic family life, something so personal.

"They're going to kill more people aren't they?" Monty asked with concern. There was a contemplative silence among them as they all thought of the people on the Ark before Octavia chimed in with a different mindset.

"Good!" She said nonchalantly as she hopped down from the small hill she was on. "After what they did to me, I say float em all." Willow looked towards Jasper, her facial expression basically screaming what the fuck? Jasper gulped and followed after Octavia. "You don't mean that." He tried.

Willow shook her head and stopped short just before she could collide into Jaspers back. With an annoyed grunt, she peered around him and her eyes went wide. "Damn, I love Earth." Jasper sighed as the others caught up and stopped behind them. Octavia had fully unzipped her suit and began to shimmy out of it, leaving her only in her underwear and a maroon tank top. "Holy…" Jasper added as everyone's mouths dropped as she stepped out of her clothes. Willow momentarily covered her eyes as she was heavily unprepared for what they were witnessing. Octavia walked over to the edge of the large rocks she was standing on.

"Octavia! What are you doing?" Clarke asked and Willow uncovered her eyes to see Octavia dangerously close to the edge. Octavia turned to look at the group for a second, then turned and took a running jump. The sound of splashing water followed and the group ran over to where Octavia had leapt. There it was, a stunning river. Willow let out a breathy laugh that was full of excitement. It was so beautiful and unlike anything she had seen before.

"Octavia we can't swim!" Monty called to her. "No, but we can stand." She said while flashing a grin and slowly started to rise, the water initially reaching her lips, to end up at her waist and she let out a laugh.

"Wait, there's not supposed to be a river here." Clarke stated and Finn leaned over to her as he began to undo his jacket. "Well there is," he chimed "so take off your damn clothes." The others all began to undress as Willow just laughed. "Come on Willow!" Jasper called. She chuckled and shook her head. "Nah, I don't do water. I'll just watch you guys have fun!" She looked around at the river to take it all in when she noticed something strange. There was a small wave heading their way in the shape of a 'v.' She narrowed her eyes and then widened them as she realized how fast it was heading there way. "Guys!" she yelled and pointed, drawing everyone's attention.

Jasper seemed to catch on the quickest. "Octavia get out of the water!" He called to her and she turned to see the wave heading right towards her. "Get out of the water now!"

"Octavia!" Willow screeched as what looked to be a giant snake grabbed her by the leg and pulled her under the water. There was a moment of thrashing and then nothing. No sound, no movement, nothing. Everyone was still, silently searching the water for any signs of the river monster or Octavia.

Willows hand flew to her mouth as Octavia violently resurfaced, thrashing and screaming. They all ran and followed where she was being dragged, her screaming never ceasing. "What the hell is that?!" Monty yelled.

Finn went towards the edge of the rocks, preparing to jump in after her before Clarke stopped him. "No wait! If we distract it, it might let her go!" She said and began to push a large rock to the edge. "Help me!" She called and Willow quickly jumped into action. She along with Monty and Finn pushed the rock over the cliff, causing a splash that managed to pull the monsters attention and let Octavia go.

"It worked! It let her go!" Monty said as Jasper ran over to help pull her out of the water, but Octavia was too freaked out to pull herself together and he jumped in after her.

"It's coming back! Its headed right for you guys!" Monty shouted and sure enough the river monster and turned and headed back their way. "Jasper! You guys need to get out!" Willow yelled with desperation and ran over to try to help. Jasper and Octavia were barely beginning to pull themselves onto the shore, the giant snake only a few feet away. She reached out and grabbed Jasper with her left hand and Octavia with her right and used all of her strength and body weight to pull them the rest of the way, just in time.

All panting from the fear and adrenaline, Jasper looked up to Willow and breathed out a quick "Thanks." Willow nodded in response and looked at Octavia. "Oh my god, Octavia! You're bleeding." She said just as Clarke and the others reached them. Clarke immediately ran over to Octavia's thigh where a chunk of her flesh was missing. She ripped off a piece of Jasper's shirt and began to tie it above the wound. Octavia let out a sigh of relief and leaned over to hug Jasper. "Thank you, thank you." She panted and looked up at Willow. "Thank you too." Willow smiled at Octavia, glad that she was okay.

"Note to self, next time, save the girl." Monty said as he patted Jasper's shoulder and everyone laughed, finally able to lighten up from the scare they just had.

It had fallen dark and the group of teenagers knew there was no way of finding Mount Weather at night in an unknown forest, especially with Octavia's injury. After the events of their day everyone was exhausted and promptly fell asleep. A few hours later, Willow was woken up by a rustling. She slowly pushed off of Monty's leg, which she was using for a pillow, and saw Finn walking through the trees. She was about to go back to sleep when her brain finally registered what she was seeing. Her mouth dropped slightly open when she looked around. The moss on the trees, the flowers, and some of the grass was glowing. It was something right out of a fairy tale story. The bio-luminescent shine lit up the forest in a blue-green hue and Willow could not help but get up and explore. She looked at the others, Octavia, Jasper, Monty, and Clarke all still fast asleep. She felt mildly bad for not waking them up to witness this. She walked a few feet into the trees and touched a group of flowers that were glowing with an almost neon blue and had to suppress her excited and wonder-filled laughter. Radiation or not, the Earth was beautiful and as fearful as she was to be coming down here, she was so glad that she had.

Willow walked for a little while longer, but decided it was probably in her best interest to head back and get some sleep. They still had quite a ways to go before they were going to reach Mount Weather and she wanted to be as rested as she could be. She walked back over to where Monty, Jasper and Octavia were and lowered herself back to her original position. She closed her eyes with a smile. The Earth was a truly amazing place.

Day time had rolled around and they all headed back to the river. They needed to find some way across it, and they couldn't just swim across since they one, didn't know how to swimand two, they probably didn't want to get eaten by a giant snake. After a while of searching, Finn had managed to find a long, elastic like tree branch. "Hey!" he called out to the others. "I think this could work!" he said as the playfully bounced with it.

Jasper had made his way up to the branch with Finn while Willow, Octavia, Clarke, and Monty hung out below. "You wanted to go first now quit stalling." Clarke said to Finn as he tested the branch yet again. "Mount Weather awaits."

"Don't tell me you're nervous! You're Spacewalker remember? This shouldn't phase you." Willow teased. They all laughed and Finn readied himself to swing to the other side. Willow was watching Finn and Jasper talk when Octavia limped closer to her.

"Hey, I just wanted to thank you again. If you hadn't helped pull us up, we might have been snake food." Octavia said with a smile.

"Of course, I'm glad I made it in time." Willow replied. "We're in a world that we know nothing about, we've gotta stick together right?" She added and smiled at the young Blake girl. The two of them looked back up right as Finn was about to swing when Jasper interjected. "Wait! Let me." He looked down at Octavia and smiled, then turned back to Finn who handed him the branch with a proud look. "I knew there was a bad ass in there somewhere." He said and lightly pushed Jasper's shoulder. Jasper looked ahead, holding onto the branch and hesitated a bit. "Hey, it's okay to be afraid Jasper. The trick is not fighting it." Finn said and nodded to Jasper with encouragement.

"See you on the other side." Jasper said with a smile. He prepped himself one last time, let out a breath, and swung. The group followed with their eyes as he glided across the river cheering until he let go and landed harshly on the other side. They all ran up to the launching rock to get a better view. Jasper stood up and dusted himself off, turned to the others, and shouted in excitement. Willow, along with the others all cheered back. They were back on their way.

Finn handed Clarke the branch that had swung back to them. "Come on Clarke! You got this!" Jasper cheered from the other side. He turned and looked down at the ground and dusted some dirt away. He picked up a large piece of metal and called back to them. "We did it!" He held up the piece of metal. It was a sign. "Mount Weather!" He called at last and cheered again as the rest of them looked at each other with relief and excitement. They turned to look back at Jasper as he cheered again, when suddenly something flew at him from the air, hit him, and sent him flying backwards.

"Jasper!" Clarke called with concern. Willow took another step forward so she could get a better look at what hit him. Her eyes focused and she let out a large gasp as both of her hands flew up to her mouth. Jasper was laying against a tree with a large wooden spear sticking out of his chest, blood forming around the wound, his eyes wide open, and a small, strangled noise escaped his lips. Everyone around her had been shouting his name and freaking out, but it all sounded like she was under water. Her hands slowly fell back to her sides, but she could not take her eyes off of what she was seeing. Everything around her was a blur until Finn grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the line of fire. "Willow! Come on, get down!" She stumbled a bit as he pulled her down to cover with everyone else. They all looked through the trees. There was rustling but they couldn't see anything…or anyone. Willow gripped Clarke's sleeve and her breath began to pick up. Her heart was racing. Clarke made eye contact with her and then turned back to the sound of rustling leaves. She gulped hard and finally spoke.

"We're not alone."

Dun, dun, dunnn. I figured for the most part, each chapter will probably coincide with an episode. But in other news, I really wanted to focus on Willow developing friendships, but you also get to feel out her personality. Why is Willow so freaked out about her past? What did she do? Only time will tell.
