five; wounds

Beth and Jasper have been back at camp for a day now, and Beth was tired and confused with how she was still alive, as the spear had gone all the way through. She should be dead right now.
Beth laid on the second floor of the dropship as Jasper laid a few feet away, still unconscious, not having been awake since he screamed when the Grounders moved the two. She was annoyed she was stuck in the metal box, but she had no other choice, Clarke refused to let her get up, even though Beth wouldn't be able to move herself because of the pain. She had tried to lay on her sides, but after awhile it's started to get extremely uncomfortable.
Jasper moaning in pain knocks Beth from her thoughts. She looks at him and sighs, hating the pain they were both in. Just what I wanted when we first land, a spear right through me. At least I'm alive.
Beth looks at Monty and Octavia, who sat near the two igured and spoke. "May you please get me some water?" She asks, neither of them in particular.
Octavia nods, "You, I'll be right back." She says, picking up a bottle they've been using for water. Beth nods, and Octavia heads downstairs.
Beth looks over at Monty, "Can I sit up?" She asks the boy, but before he could've answered, Clarke is assending the ladder up.
"Yes, but let Finn help you." The blonde says to the girl.
Beth groans at her but complies. "Yes, Dr. Clarke." Finn walks in right after Clarke, and he must have heard them because he instantly goes to Beth's side and helps her carefully sit up. "Shit." She mutters in pain as she settles into her new spot sitting up.
"The Grounders cauterized your wounds. Saved both your lives." Clarke tells Beth, looking at the wound on her back where it had been cut through.
Finn scoffs. "Saved their lives so they could string them up for live bait. Garen of Eden, this ain't." Finn speaks, causing Beth to roll her eyes at his words.
"This is infected." Clarke tells the red head.
Beth looks at her, "Oh fuck." she mutters.
"You could be septic or end up it. Any progress on the wristbands to contact the Ark?" Clarke asks Monty, who doesn't answer her. "Monty." He snaps out of his daze and looks at them and shakes his head.
"That would be a firm no." He tells her.
Clarke sighs, "My mother would know what to do."
Wells comes up the hatch. "How they doing?" He asks.
"How does it look like they're doing, Wells?" Clarke snaps at him.
"Hey. I'm just trying to help." He says back as Beth hisses in pain, grabbing Finn's hand. The two boys give her a worried look.
"Right. You wanna help? Hold her down." Clarke says, causing Beth to look at her confused. "Finn, move her carefully onto her stomach." She tells him to do. He looks at Beth and she nods, he carefully helps her move onto her stomach, a small scream leaving her mouth as she laid on the wound on her stomach. Wells walks over and helps hold down Beth's legs as Finn holds her arms.
Beth looks at the blonde, concerned. "I'm not gonna like this, am I?" She asks, Clarke sends her an apologetic look.
Beth starts screaming a minute later as Clarke begins. She clutches Finn's hand and tries to move. "Stop moving, B." He whispers to her.
"Shut up." She says, not wanting to listen to the boy.
"Hold her still. I need to cut away the infected flesh." Clarke tells the boys.
Octavia comes running up after hearing the screams. "Stop it! You're killing her!" She screams at the blonde girl and two boys.
"She's trying to save her life." Finn says to her.
"She can't." Bellamy spoke as he walks up the hatch as Octavia rushes over to Beth, the bottle of water in her hands.
"Thanks, not like I'm not awake and can hear you or anything." Beth's comment goes ignored as the others continued arguing. Octavia looks at Beth with concern. Beth gives her a weak smile and nods at the water. "Thanks." She says to the Blake girl, who gives her a smile and opens the cap, holding the bottle so Beth could drink some. After a few sips, Octavia closes the bottle and puts it next to her.
"Back off." Wells speaks up, not wanting to hear any of Bellamy's shit and he didn't want Beth hearing it either.
"Yeah, shut the hell up, Bellamy." Beth says, looking over at him. He looks over at her, seeing her wounds again, a slight flash of emotion ran over his face but she was unsure of what it was. But she ignored it. "Remember who saved you life? I did. Tied to a fucking tree." She spoke. He gives her one last look before looking back at Clarke.
"We didn't drag them both through miles of woods just to let them die." The blonde said to him.
"Kid's a goner. At least Beth has been awake, responsive, but him, he is a goner. If you can't see that, you're deluded. He's making people crazy." The Blake boy spoke.
Beth rolls her eyes at the man's words. "Sorry if me or Jasper is an inconvenience to you but this isn't the Ark." Beth says, trying to control her breathing.
"Down here, every life matters." Clarke says.
Bellamy shakes his head lightly. "Take a look at him, he's a lost cause. Maybe you can help her, but probably not without medicine." Beth rolls her eyes at him as Octavia looks down, unsure if she should believe his words.
"Octavia, I have spent my whole life watching my mother heal people. If I say there's hope, there's hope." Clarke tells the girl.
"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." He says, sending another glance to Beth before looking at Jasper. "If he's not better by tomorrow, I'll kill him myself." Beth rolls her eyes again, before closing them, the pain in her making her tired. "Octavia, let's go."
"I'm staying here." Octavia says, holding onto Beth's arm, rubbing it. Bellamy rolls his eyes and leaves.
"Power-serving, self-serving jackass. He doesn't care about anyone else but himself." Monty says, before realizing his audiance and looks at Octavia, "No offense." He says to her.
"Yeah." Beth says, raising her head once more, wincing in pain. "But he also happens to be right." The group looks at her in disbelief. "Guys, you could probably see right through me, literally. I got speared, I feel like I'm already dying. Whats to say I won't?" She asks them, though no one says a thing. Finn and Octavia give the girl sad looks, though she ignores them and closes her eyes, soon falling back to sleep.

Beth lays asleep next to Jasper, as Octavia sat their with the two. The others had left for a while. A few minutes of Octavia sitting there, watching over the two and being incredibly bored, Monty rushes up the hatch, trying to quickly close it behind him. "Murphy's gonna kill them!" He exclaims as Murphy yells at him, sticking his hand through the hatch. Octavia rushes over and kicks his hand, making him scream and fall, allowing the two to slam the hatch door closed and Monty sits on top while Octavia rushes to grab some pipes to hold it closed. After a moment of yanking and Monty yelling to hurry, the Blake girl finally gets the pole ripped off the wall before rushing back to Monty and shoving it through the hole in the hatch, keeping Murphy out. The two sit down next to the hatch and sigh as Murphy continues to yell from below.

A while later, Octavia is sitting next to Beth, trying to check her pulse. Octavia puts down Beth's hand, confused, looking towards her chest for any movements, but there was none.
"Monty! Beth, she's not breathing!" Octavia exclaims and Monty rushes over to the two from were he was next to Jasper.
"What?!" He yells. His brain was going a million miles per hour and he didn't want to lose either of the two laying in here. "We- we can try to resuscitate her!" Monty exclaims before rolling uo his sleeves and crossing his fingers together.
"How?!" Octavia asks, scared for her new friend.
Monty looks over at her. "My mom taught me." He tells her before she nods. He looks up and the ceiling for a moment before beginning cpr on Beth.

ON THE ARK, Marcus Kane sat in the control room where all of the kid's vitals were up on screens. He was staring at his daughters.
Beth Kane
All of the sudden, something on her chart started flickering. "Callie! Callie, what's happening to Beth's vitals?" He exclaims, worried his daughter may be in danger.
Callie walks over to the screen, looking up in horror. "Oh my gosh." She mutters. "Somethings happened to her. I- she- she's dying." Callie says sadly. She and Marcus had grown close through the years, and she was also very close with Beth, thinking of her as a kid of her own. Beth's box soon darkens and reads 'Trasmit Terminated'.
"No!" Marcus exclaims, almost in a whisper. He stares at her picture, heartbroken. He was hard on the girl growing up, she didn't deserve it. He worked so much that he was hardly there for her and it only got worse after her mother died. But Beth was his daughter, his pride and joy. And now, she was gone. Marcus lets out a quiet cry before putting his head in his hands, covering his face from anyone, especially Callie, seeing.
A soft beep throws Callie from her thoughts of Beth, she looks up at the screen in shock as Beth's vitals box begins to light up again. "Marcus! Marcus, look!" She exclaims, pointing to Beth's vitals. They were slowly rising again, meaning Beth was not dead. "Someone must have done CPR or something to save her. She's alive."
Kane sighs in relief, looking back at the picture of his daughter, happy she was still alive. But now, he knew what he had to do. He needs to get to Earth for his daughter.

Clarke and Octavia sat around Beth and Jasper as they quietly talked. Clarke was very impressed with Octavia and Monty for not only keeping Murphy out but also saving Beth's life.
A soft groaning noise takes them out of their conversation. "I guess I'm still alive." Beth mutters, looking at the two girls.
Clarke and Octavia let out a small laugh. "Yeah, you're alive. Thank gosh." Octavia says to her with a sad look on her face.
Beth looks between the two girls before asking, "What happened?"
"You- you died." Clarke says. "When you were passed out."
Octavia nods. "Yeah, while you were passed out, I checked your pulse, and you didn't have one. Thank gosh, Monty knows CPR. You really scared us." Octavia explains to her.
Beth slowly sits up, causing Clarke to rush and help her. Beth looks over at Octavia before throwing her arms around her shoulders, hugging the Blake girl, taking her by surprise, but she hugs Beth back. "Thank you." She says to the Blake girl. Octavia nods at her. Beth looks over at Jasper. "Let's help him now." Octavia and Clarke nod at the girl.
A little later as Beth and Monty were talking and Clarke and Octavia were helping Jasper, Clarke looks at the Blake girl with a sad expression.
"I'm really sorry about Atom." She says to Octavia. Octavia shrugs and nods barely.
"I guess we're gonna have to get used to people dying down here, aren't we?" She says to Clarke but keeps her eyes on Jasper. "But not you, you hear me? You're not allowed to die." Octavia says to the Jordan boy who laid there unconscious.
Finn came up a few minutes later and helped Beth move closed to where he, Monty, and Octavia were sitting. The four of them passing around a bottle of some type of alcohol. "Smooth." Finn says, coughing after he takes a sip. Beth chuckles lightly as Octavia gets passed the bottle.
"Disgusting." She spoke, "I love it." She says taking another small sip before handing it to Beth.
Who, in turn, takes a large sip. "Way better the the Ark's moonshine." She says to them.
"Can I, uh, get a high of that?" A voice spoke up from behind them causing them to all turn around.
"Jasper!" Octavia exclaims as the three who can walk currently, rush over to him.
Monty laughs lightly at Jasper's words. "Let's start with the soft stuff." He tells his best friend.
"Welcome back, buddy." Finn says to him with a smile.
Jasper smiles back as much as he could. "Was that a dream or did Beth and I get speared?"
Beth laughs from her spot across the room. "We have badass matching scars to prove it, Jas." Beth says to him.
"Nice!" He says to her, causing her to laugh but stop quickly because of the pain. Clarke walks up and over to Jasper. "My savior."
Clarke gives him a soft smile. "Thank you for not dying. I don't think I could've taken that today."
Jasper nods slightly, "I'll try not to die tomorrow, if that's cool." Jasper says to Clarke, causing them all to laugh lightly. He looks over and notices Octavia. "Oh, hello." He says, causing them all to let out a laugh.
___
Later that night, Beth was alone in the dropshop level, with a sleeping Jasper. She couldn't sleep though, there was too much going through her brain. The hatch opens up, revealing Finn walking up.
"Hey Finny." She says to him as he sits down next to her.
He smiles at her, "Hey B, how you feeling?" He asks her.
She shrugs slightly at him. "Okay, I guess. It hurts like hell." She tells him.
He nods at her. "It'll get better."
"Hopefully." She says with a quiet laugh. "Thank you."
He looks over at her, confused. "For what?" He asks her.
"For being my best friend. And for being there for me, like all of the time. You for being my family, along with Raven. Even if I am a bitch, sometimes."
He laughs lightly, wrapping an arm around her shoulder, pulling her into a side hug. "I'll always be here for you. I'm not going anywhere." He tells her.
You promise?" She asks, looking up at him.
"I promise." He tells her. She smiles and lays her head on his shoulder. "Get some rest, B." He tells her.
She smiles lightly and nods. "Okay." She mutters, soon falling asleep on his shoulder.
