chapter 2: what could go wrong?
Disclaimer: i dont own any of The 100 characters but my OC.
Enyo's POV....
Kneeling next to the semi - unconscious boy Enyo felt a huge wave of guilt wash over her. I shouldn't have let this happen. He's the same age as me but its clear these kids aren't prepared to fight against us. After a moment of berating herself, Enyo prepared herself to take the spear out of his chest. Crazy kid was still alive and he could feel every small cautious pull as her hands get to work removing the embedded weapon out of him. Enyo may have been known to be cunning and ruthless against her enemies but this is one group of enemies she didn't want to hurt. Only close friends and family knew of the heart of gold the aurburn haired girl owned as she liked to keep her trusted circle small. Not letting anyone get too close. So when she saw people, normally her people but for once she's going to have to make an exception (thanks, abe), hurting she felt the need to comfort them.
"Its Jasper kom skaikru right?" It was rhetorical but she kept talking through her improvised work anyway, "im sorry my people did this to you. But don't worry, I'll fix what they've done. Or try to anyways." She mumbled the last part to herself as motivation to think through what little she already knew about medicine. She wasn't the healer of Trikru but her mother worked alongside Nyko and made sure to teach the basics to Enyo and Abe. She was already accustomed to the poisons as a warrior should be but other than that she lacked the knowledge for a important procedure as this. With one last tug she got the spear out of his chest and Jasper screamed. Enyo cursed to Becca pramheda for the second time that day and began to drag Jasper through the trees and out of sight. Continuing to drag him to the small waterfall she knew was nearby, she remembered that to cover a wound such as this it would need a poultice. And she knew just where to get it.
"I'll be back crazy Jasper just stay alive for me okay? My brother would...well actually he could never take me in a fight but he would be upset." The grounder girl hurried off, making sure some branches obscured him from view, to the other lake not far from where she left jasper to get him the seaweed he would need to survive.
........Clarke's POV......
It had been hours since she and Finn had walked away from Bellamy and the others but she showed no sign if slowing down. Finn was walking slightly behind her, just as exhausted as she was when they heard it. At first all they heard was running water and as they went down to collect it they were completely oblivious to the girl hidden in the bushes with their injured friend.
"You couldn't save your father." Finns words caused a sting in Clarkes already broken heart. She was about to respond to him when they finally heard it: a muffled groan and a soothing voice. Clarke froze along with Finn, scanning their surroundings as if what they heard was just in their minds. But then it happened again and just as Clarke heard what sounded like an annoyed sigh, the bushes moved across the little pond where they were both submerged and it took a minute to comprehend what was happening. A girl, well not a young girl probably around the same age as clarke but there she was; a grounder. Shocked as she was, Clarke's analytical side took over, analysing everything about her. She had hair a beautiful shade of orange, freckles all over her pale cheeks, hazel eyes and an unreadable expression. She was quite beautiful and her clothes were nothing like the ark issued ones they were currently wearing. Everything about her screamed grounder. Yet here she was not attacking...yet.
After being studied the same way clarke studied her, the girl rolled her eyes and spoke, "if i wanted you dead you'd be dead already." Her voice was surprisingly silky despite the dull threat she made or didn't make. She had weapons after all, her multiple knives were enough proof of her statement.
"Why haven't you? You already killed one of us." Finn asked raising his voice in the hope that the others would hear him. With weariness he held on to Clarke's arm, backing her away to stand at the opposite side of the pond instead of inside it. Finn said this was a suicide mission so it was no surprise to Clarke that he thinks jaspers dead, and the way this girl holds herself, as if on the verge of an attack, she couldn't blame him. The grounder girl looked surprised by Finns words and she frowned at him.
"Are you deaf? Or is your ridiculous hair preventing you from hearing close range groans of pain?" Clarke was startled by the girls sassiness but it gave her hope that maybe they weren't so different after all. Suddenly voices could be heard behind finn and clarke and she could see the girl tense but stand her ground as the others finally caught up.
.....Enyo's POV....
Three figures emerged from the trees and stopped once their eyes landed on me. I took the opportunity to study them as i did the other two and once again noted that they weren't all that bad looking. One boy had darker skin than the rest and he seemed to have some sort of calm demeanor as he stepped protectively towards the one named Clarke. The other seemed quite conflicted looking like he either wanted to run and leave the others behind or stay and fight; a survivors move. Then the last one seemed harder to read than the rest. He was ridiculously handsome what with his dark curly hair, olive skin tone and light freckles, not as many as i have but just the right amount. His stance was a little like mine, ready to defend himself if necessary until he reached behind his back to reveal a gun. He looked grumpy.
"I'd save the bullets if i were you." I stated calmly. Hoping that everything i risked today isn't going to be for nothing.
"And whys that?" The gunman said, gun still by his side but his finger placed next to the trigger.
Folding my arms against my chest i replied cockily, "because as i was about to say to strange hair here, i have who your looking for. And im not alone so if you shoot you die." Of course she was still alone except Jasper who she's been keeping company for a couple of hours until his people could follow her trail.
And as if someone said his name, Jasper groaned from behind me, still hidden. The sky people looked behind me and then around our surroundings. It's times like these that im glad i have the patience to deal with situations like this. Being Anyas advisor means that she would often ask for my advice during the political talks and most of the time she seemed grateful that i was so wise.
"Look i can think of a thousand different places id rather be right now and you need to help your friend. So I'd recommend taking him to a healer if you have one."
That seemed to snap blondie out of her shock, "your giving him back to us?"
I raised an eyebrow, "first of all Clarke, i never took him anywhere other than here to help and wait for you. And second yeah but he's not in his best state right now."
"How do you know her name?" The protective boy asked.
"Right cause thats the important part of this." Sneered the survivor with the crooked nose.
Funny hair answered before i could, "she was at the river when we crossed."
I clicked my tongue, "yeah i wouldn't recommend trying that again."
"That a threat?" Mr hansome asked, his voice lower than before.
"No it's a warning." Looking over at funny hair and Clarke, "you two were right the river is a boundary. One that you shouldn't cross unless you want to die. Take Jasper and stay alert."
I began to turn away when i heard the splashing of water and turned again to see clarke hesitantly moving towards me. Two of the boys seemed worried about what i would do whilst the other two didnt look like they gave a shit if i killed her, in fact they looked hopeful. Interesting.
"Why are you doing this?" I ignored her question and instead brought out Jasper from his hiding place. This seemed to take away all of Clarkes questions for me and focus her attention on him. His groans of pain were only getting louder and i could swear i heard growling as i helped carry jasper over the water with, Finn he said his name was and inroduced the other guy as Wells. He mentioned the others as Murphy and Bellamy but i couldn't tell them apart with just names.
Out of nowhere a menacing growl got louder, that certainly couldn't have been jasper no matter how weird he was, and then there was a blur of black as it pounced towards grumpy and survivor. His reaction time wouldn't be quick enough and deciding in a rush of adrenalin, i pushed grumps out of the way as survivor was smart enough to move and the black panther landed on nothing but the rocks. Needing to take its attention away from the inexperienced i ignored the questions of where the gun went and walked away from them so the cat would have its back to them as long as i could distract it.
"Aww what's wrong kitty?." I taunted provoking a growl as i continued, "hungry? Come and get it then." And as the stare down continued i pretended to lose my footing looking like i was going to fall backwards when the cat made its move.
It pounced, throwing itself towards my throat and when it landed on me i drove one of my many knives into its heart. I rolled it off me and took a deep breath, adrenaline draining.
"You okay?" Clarke asked worry,in her voice.
"Fine, nice to know you care clarkey." I always did that. Chose nicknames for my friends. But thats not what they were.
"Now that was badass." Finn said, offering me a hand which i ignored.
"Eat the cat. Skin it and dont eat it if its pink in the middle." I stated giving everyone a last glance as i turned away for the final time, noticing the strange look grumpy was giving me.
"Wait! What's your name?" Wells asked after me.
Smiling i kept walking, throwing an ironic, "Enyo, your guardian angel." Over my shoulder. My brothers curiosity was not misplaced and now i know that id most likely be back to check on the enemy. What could possibly go wrong?
Authors note: i know there wasnt much bellamy x Enyo interaction but i wasnt expecting much of it for this chapter anyway. The next chapter will provide more one on one time.
