Chapter 5.

Beth's POV

So Jasper and I have been back at camp. I learned that not only did the spear hit me, it went all of the way through me. I should be dead right now.

Clarke has been making me stay in the dropship, not even letting me get up to get any water. She always has Monty, herself or Finn get it. Octavia has been up here mostly. She talks to me when I'm awake.

It sucks, I'm in pain either in my back or my stomach, there's no break. Just what I wanted to happen when I first come to Earth.

Jasper has been moaning in pain and as much as I truly understand his pain, like literally, it is annoying. But I mean the kid got stabbed with a spear, he has a reason.

"Can someone get me some water?" I ask Octavia and Monty.

"Yeah, I'll be right back." Octavia says and I nod ad she goes downstairs.

I look at Monty, and sigh. "Can I at least sit up?" I ask him. As he was about to answer, Clarke answered walking up the ladder.

"Yes, but let Finn help." She says then Finn walks in. I groan but listen.

"Okay Dr. Clarke." I say sarcastically.

She rolls her eyes then Finn walks over to me. He kneels down next to me and grads one of my hands and puts his other hand on my lower back. I let out a small hiss of pain when he pulls me up to sit. "Shit." I mutter in pain.

"The Grounders cauterized your guys wounds. Saved both of your lives." Clarke says looking at my back wound where the spear went through. 

"Saved their lives so they could string them up for live bait. Garden of Eden this ain't." Finn says, I roll my eyes.

"This is infected." She says about my wound.

"Oh fuck." I mutter. 

"She could be septic. Any progress on using the wristbands to contact the Ark?" She asks Monty. At first he doesn't answer. "Monty?" He looks over at us and shakes his head.

"That would be a firm no." He tells her.

"My mother would know what to do." Clarke says.

"How they doing?" Wells asks, coming up the hatch.

"How does it look like their doing, Wells?" Clarke snaps.

"Hey, I'm just trying to help. I hiss in pain and tighten my grip on Finn's hand. He sends me a worried look.

"Right. You want to help? Hold her down. Finn move her carefully onto her stomach." Clarke tells him. He carefully does so and Wells walks over and holds down my legs while Finn holds my arms.

"I'm not gonna like this, am I?" I ask Clarke, she sends me an apologetic look.

I soon let out a scream as Clarke tries to cut away the infected flesh on my back.

I let out another scream as I grip Finn's hands tighter and try to move. "Stop moving Beth." Finn says.

"Shut up." I say.

"Hold her still. I need to cut away the infected flesh." Clarke says.

Octavia comes running in. "Stop it! You're killing her." Octavia says rushing over to me.

"She's trying to save her life." Finn says.

"She can't." I roll my eyes at Bellamy.

"Thanks, not like I'm not awake and can hear you or anything." My comment goes ignored.

Wells speaks up. "Back off."

"Yeah. Shut the hell up Bellamy. Remember who saved your life, I did, tied to a tree." I spat.

"We didn't drag them both through miles of woods just to let them die." Clarke says.

"Kid's a goner. At least Beth has been awake, but him, he is a goner. If you can't see that, you're deluded. He's making people crazy." Bellamy says.

"Sorry if me or Jasper an inconvenience to you, but this isn't the Ark." I say to him, trying to control my breathing. "Down here, every life matters." Clarke says.

"Take a look at him. He's a lost cause. Maybe you can help her, but probably not without medicine." I roll my eyes at the asshole. Octavia looks down, not sure what to believe.

"Octavia, I've spent my whole life watching my mother heal people. If I say there's hope, there's hope." Clarke says. "This isn't about hope, it's about guts. You don't have the guts to make the hard choices. I do. He's been like this for three days, at least Beth has been awake and talking. If he's not better by tomorrow, I'll kill him myself." I roll my eyes at Bellamy. "Octavia, let's go." He says to his sister.

"I'm staying here." Octavia says and Bellamy leaves.

 "Power-hungry, self-serving jackass. He doesn't care about anyone but himself." Monty says. "No offense." He says

"Yeah. Bellamy is all that." I say and then wince in pain. "But he also happens to be right." The five look at me in disbelief. "Guys, you could probably see right through me, literally. I got speared, I feel like I'm already dying. What's to say I wont?" I say to them. No one says anything after. Finn and Octavia give me sad looks to which for now, I ignore.

I soon feel my eyes getting heavy. I close them and soon fall asleep.

So this is a short chapter. But hopefully will get longer once Beth is not hurt anymore. What do you all think? How was this chapter? Bellamy never said he would kill her, that's a plus, lol. Anyways please comment. Thanks for reading. Bye.
