THE NEXT MORNING WE all wake up and are ready for the day. We are currently at a higher rock at the edge of the river we could have died just a day ago. We're now waiting for Finn to finish is man-made liana to maneuver over the river.

After he finishes he keeps standing there and looks back and forth between the fall and the destination, "You wanted to go first. Now quite stalling." Clarke states.

Smiling at his anxious state I cup my hands over my mouth, "Mouth Weather awaits, Spacewalker." I call out making him playfully glare at me.

While inspecting the area Jasper thinks of an idea, "Just hang on till the Apogee and you will be fine." he reassured Finn. Making me smile at his knowledge while I mentally scold my self for my teenage hormones.

Finn looks back at Jasper with furrowed eyebrows, "The apogee.. like the Indians right?" he asks in a way that I couldn't tell if he was joking or being serious.

"Apogee not Apache." Jasper correct him. Making Clarke laugh, "He knows." she says.

Looking from Clarke back to Finn I raise my eybrow, "Today, Idiot." I joked causing Jasper to look at me with a flushed face accompanied with a smile.

Octavia sees it and nudges me in the stomach with a smile and wiggles her eyebrows.

Making me roll my eyes, "Aye, aye Captain. See you on the other side." Finn says as he was about to swing, but Jasper looked st me and looked back at finn.

Stopping Finn with a touch of a shoulder, "Wait let me." he says before looking back giving me a sly wink.

Causing O' to nuch me in the stomach again while giving me a knowing look, "He's trying to impress you." she wispers at me.

Making me shake my head, "He isn't." I wisper to her.

That statement causes her to roll her eyes, "You're so blind." she wispers back. Looking back at the scene I see Finn being hesitant to give Jasper the liana, "I can do it." Jasper urges making Finn give it to him.

Finn smiles at him before quickly glancing at me, "I knew there was a badass in there." he says as he hands it to him. Smiling I clap, "You got this Jasper." I call.

He smiles nervously, "It's okay to be afraid, Jasper. The trick is not fighting it." Finn reassures him. Making Jasper nod, "See you on the other side." he says as he swing to the other side.

He lands not so smoothly, but he lands on the other side nevertheless. Making us all to yell out in victory. Jasper throws his hands up in the air, "We are Apogee!" he yells in happiness.

Even Clarke is sporting an actual smile, "You did it Jasper." she call so to him. Grabbing the vine Finn was about to give it to give it to Clarke, "Wait." I say making then look at me.

Pointing at the vine I look at him, "Can I?" I ask nervously. He smiles and hands it to me padding me on the back, "That's my bestfriend." he wisper in my ear.

Holding on to it I breath nervously, "C'mon, Luna. You got this. Apogee." Jasper calls me to me causing a blush to rise up to my face.

Octavia takes that as her cue, "Yeah, Luna. Wooh!" she yelled out in a child like voice.

Laughing I grip the vine harder. When I was about to swing I hear Jasper yell. Holding up a bord that says Mouth Weather, "We did it." he calls to us.

Stepping back I still have a tight grip on the vine. When I have my feet of the floor a spear lodges in Jaspers chest forcefully knocking him down.

Gasping in horror Finn takes my waist and pulls me away from the vine to his chest, "Jasper!" I cry out trying to grip the vine again to get him, but Clarke takes my hands, "No, Luna. We have to go." she says while I shake my head in denial.

Trying to get the vine again Finn holds me tighter to his chest. While O' comes to calm me down, "No, Luna. We have to go, other wise they will get you too." she says while tears well up in my eyes.

Making me shake my head again, "We have to help him." I say in a more clear voice then I expected.

Finn turns me around and cups my face, "He's death. There is nothing we can do now, Lu. We have to go." he says making me nod. He kisses my forehead and gives me a tight hug.

As I pull away I see Clarke look at Jasper with wide eyes, "We're not alone." she breaths out.

Pulling me along we run through the forest we run as fast as we can from whatever just killed Jasper. All of a sudden Monty tripps on something and falls. Running to him I help him up with the help of Octavia and Finn.

"Monty get up." Octavia breaths out. While I look at where he had fallen over. A pile of bones, human like bones. I'm starting to think that earth isn't all that great after all.

Looking at it it just makes me confused, "Who are they?" Octavia asks. While Clarke picks up a skull that is all deformed, "The better question is; What are they?" I ask as I look at the skull. We all exchange looks of horror.

While Octavia starts to breath heavy, "We're so screwed." she says. Walking to her I want to calm her down, but I freeze when we hear a loud scream ego trough the forest.

Snapping my head at the direction of the sound I start running that way. Ignoring all the calls of prostest behind. When I finally get there a hand is on my shoulder, "He was there." I croak out while tears well up in my eyes once more.

Monty stands besides me and I hug him tightly, "No, where is he?" he trails off sadly and I can hear it when his voice breaks that he's doing everything to not break down.

Finn looks at me sadly and back at the place Jasper was last, "They took him." he breaths out.

When we make it back to camp I'm holding on to Octavia because she has tired out her leg while running. As we make it we see Wells holding a knive against Johns trought.

He probably had a good reason to, but Clarke didn't see it that way, "Wells. Let him go." she screams at him as an angry mother.

He let's go instantly and pushes him to the ground only for John to try snd attack him, but Bellamy stops him.

As he noticed Octavia in my arms he rushes up to us, "What the hell happend." Bellamy asks looking at us while taking O' from my arms and setting her on a longe.

Looking at us his eyebrows furrow in confusion, "Where's the food?" he asks. He looked at me for an explain, but there is a rock in my trought.

Finn puts a hand on my shoulder and squeezes it, "We didn't make it to Mouth Weather." he informs the curly haired freckles man.

Making him look at us with an unreadable expression, "What happend out there?" he asks, well more demands.

Finn looks at all for someone to speak up, "We got attacked." Finn says. Making Belammy his eyebrows furrow once again, "By what?"

"More like by who. It turns out when the last man from the ground died in the Ark. He wasn't the last grounder." Finn informs him.

Clarke looks at Finn before looking at Bellamy, "Everything we thought we knew about the ground is wrong. There are people, survivors." she trails off.

"The good news is that radiation won't kill us." I say hopefull.

What not everyone likes by the way their face expression changes, "The bad new is the grounders will." Finn adds on. Making people look at him confused. While Wells surved the group and asked the question I hoped he woudn't, "Where is the kid with the goggles?" he asks.

Everyone looks at me causing me to look sad at the ground, "Jasper was hit with a spear. It came out of nowhere. We thought he was death untill we heard hin scream, but.." I trailed of choking back the sob that would escape my lips.

Finn hugs me and I let my head fall against his chest, "They took him." he continues where I left off.

The sadness is soon turned in to madness when Clarke notices that Wells his wristband is off, "Where is your wristband?" she asks while holding on to his wrist.

Making Wells glare at Bellamy, "Ask him." he spats at him. Making me look over at Bellamy who just smirks while we all look have looks of disapproval on our faces, "How many?" Clarke asks.

John takes that as his perfect cue to enter the conversation, "twenty-six and counting." he says smugly. Making me roll my eyes, "Your all fucking idiots." Clarke says while glaring at Bellamy, who doesn't shy away from her cold gaze.

Putting a hand on her arm I shake my head making her relaxe, "Life support on the ark is failing. They need to know if the ground is survivable, again. We need their help against whatever is out there." I inform everyone.

Clarke takes that as her cue to help me out with my speech. What she does perfect everytime. She's like a mindreader, "If you take off your wristbands. Your not killing them. Your killing us." she continues.

Looking around I see that we have a group who listens, but of course the king of idiots has to ruin it. Why are the cute ones always idiots?

He looks between Clarke and I with a hateful glare, "We're stronger than you think." he says cooly.

Before looking at the rest of the group, "Don't listen to them. They are one of the privileged ones. If they come down they will have it good. How many of us can say the same? We can take care of our selves. The wristbands on your arms, it makes you a prisoner. We're not prisoners anymore." he says making the crowd shout in agreement.

Rolling my eyes, like I said the cute ones are idiots. Apparently the ones not are too.

"They will forgive you of your crimes. I say you're not criminals." he continues to yell.

What really makes me think. Some of us are here for being born, petty theft, secret. Not all of us are, some are here for murder. You can't just scream that everything is okay.

"You're surviors." he continues while I zone him out and go check on Octavia.

Standing in front of her I look at her leg, "Are you feeling okay?" I ask her. She nods, "Yeah." she says back.

At the sound of her voice Bellamy rushes to her and sits in front of her looking over her leg, "What happend? You could have died." he says while anxiously examing her injury.

Shaking her head O' look at me with admiration, "If it wasn't for Luna I would have been death." she says smiling at me. Causing me to wave her off, "It was nothing. It's what friends do." I tell her.

She shakes her head with a smile, but Bellamy replies for her, "You don't risk your life for someone you just met." he tells me with a raised eyebrow.

I shrugg, "I guess, but O' helped me up there when I was scared. I help her from a water monster." I say casually.

They both smile at me, "I guess I missed judged you." Bellamy says making me chuckle.

"What do we do now?" Monty asks next to me causing me to turn to them. No-one noticed me but I spoke up anyway, "Now we go find Jasper." I say making them all look at me before nodding.

Clarke sends me a soft smile, "Get your things. We leave soon." she says walking away.

Turning around I head for the drop ship. While successfully not bupping in to anyone. When I'm finished we meet up.

Seeing Clarke walk up with Finn gives me hope that this is actually happening. We're going to find Jasper, "Hey you guys ready?" Clarke asks.

Making me nod, "Ready as I'll ever be." I say causing her to smile while I shove my makeshift knive in my boot.

Finn looks me in the eyes, "I'm not going anywhere and neither should you." he says while reaching out for my hand.

That I pull away, "Are you kidding me?" I ask in disbelief. Is he actually willing to leave Jasper for death.

"The spear was thrown with pinpoint accuracy from three hundred feet." he tries to reason.

"So what? We leave Jasper to  die?" Monty asks in a hurt voice.

Causing me to feel more sadness then before. It's his bestfriend. How could he not go look for him. Shaking my head, "That's not happening." I reassure Monty.

While Clarke scuffs at Finns statement, "Spacewalker? What a joke. Your think you're such an adventurer but really your just a coward." she spats at him.

Look at him I feel angry but mostly disappointing, "This is cowshit, Finn. If it was me would you leave me to die?" I ask him.

Causing him to take a step towards me, "Of course not. You're my family." he says with pleasing eyes.

My eyes remain cold, "It isn't an adventure, Lu. It's a suicide mission." he tries again.

Making me roll my roll my eyes while Clarke walks away.
