Three - Survival Instinct

The next morning, I quietly climb up into my tree when I begin to hear chanting. "Fight! Fight! Fight!" which only excites me. Finally I am going to get to see their fighting style and could report something back that was actually useful.

"Don't you see you can't control this?" Wells yells at Bellamy. Stop this? Oh please both Bellamy and I smirk. Clearly, both of us want to see how this ends.

"You're dead" One boy promises to Wells before lunging at him, similar to that of the servant who tried to kill me in my chambers earlier this week. But to my dismay, Bellamy halts him. A frown makes its way onto my face until Bellamy pulls another knife from behind his back and hands it to Wells, "Fair fight."

Wells takes it just as the other boy lands a slash to Well's arm, "Aah!" Too slow I think to myself. I could have killed him already. I could have killed both of them already...with my eyes closed.

"This is for my father!" the boy lunges again. Well, there went any chance he could have been a good warrior. He fights with anger. That will get him killed. "Drop it!" Wells yells again, trying to convince the other boy. But the boy lunges again and Wells catches him this time, holding the blade to his throat. Not half bad, Wells. The only thing that stops Wells is the voice of Princess as she makes her way into view, "Wells! Let him go!"

But before Princess can reach Wells, Murphy grabs her by the waist, holding her back. "Enough, Murphy" she commands. I look just behind her to see that the Asian boy and Finn are now holding O up and that she seems to have a limp.

"Octavia. Are you all right?" Bellamy asks looking at same scene I am. O is short for Octavia, Bell  is short for Bellamy. Makes more sense than that being their actual names.

"Yeah" Octavia nods, wincing as she takes another step. Bellamy glances at her once more before looking at Princess, "Where's the food?"

"We didn't make it to Mount Weather" answers Octavia in place of Princess.

Bellamy looks at Octavia before asking the new arrivals, "What the hell happened out there?" Princess looks at the rest of the group before responding, "We were attacked." That explains Octavia's limp.

"Attacked? By what?" Bellamy gazes at his sister worried.

Then Finn's answer makes me still, "Not what. Who. It turns out, when the last man from the ground died on the Ark, he wasn't the last Grounder." Everyone including me looks shocked. Wait. One of my people attacked. News should have spread by now. No one was supposed to attack the invaders until we had enough information on them. Which means until I returned.

"It's true. Everything we thought we knew about the ground is wrong. There are people here, survivors. The good news is, that means we can survive. Radiation won't kill us" Princess adds.
