Jasper has been moaning in pain for the past two nights, so luckily I don't really have to worry about falling into one of my nightmares in front of the people at camp. Instead, I sat at the camp fire, reflecting on my situation until the sun began to rise. Watching night turn into day was another thing that really solidified the reality of this. I don't even know if I'd want to go back if I could. Part of me wonders if I die here then would that mean I die for real. I don't exactly miss my old life, my real one...maybe this will become my real life.

I ended up going to help Clarke with Jasper in the drop ship... or at least try to.

"The grounders cauterized the wound," Clarke points out as she dabs Jaspers wound with some cloth, "saved his life."

"Saved his life so they could string him up for live bait" Finn provides, "Garden of Eden this ain't".

"Yeah, something tells me the grounders did not do that out of the goodness of their hearts" I add on.

"This is infected. He could be septic." Clarke wore a serious look on her face as usual, ignoring Finn and I's sarcastic remarks. Seeing the dialogue of the show play out in real time is weird...but it still feels all too real. "Any progress on using the wristbands to contact the ark? Monty!" she asks Monty who is set up across the room with all of his technology.

"That would be a firm no."

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

"How's he doing?" Wells approaches the group.

"How does it look like he's doing Wells?" Clarke shoots.

"Hey, I'm just trying to help."

"Right. You want to help? Hold him down."

Huh. Suddenly I don't really remember this part. In fact, now that I think of it, the rest of this episode and the ones after are kind of fuzzy to me even if I've watched them a million times. Maybe I'm just sleep deprived.

Wells holds Jasper's legs down. Finn takes a knife and places it in the fire. Clarke looks to me. I nod and hold an arm of his down, worried.

"I'm not gonna like this, am I?" Monty asks from where he sits.

Jaspers moans in pain from where he lays.

"I need to cut away the infected flesh" Clarke says urgently.

All of a sudden Octavia enters, "Stop it, you're killing him!"

"She's trying to save his life." Finn explains.

"She can't" Bellamy interjects as he too enters from below.

"Back off" Wells says as he stands to face him.

"We didn't drag him through miles of woods just to let him die." Clarke shoots.

"Kids a goner." Bellamy states, "If you can't see that you're delusional. He's making people crazy."

"Sorry if Jasper's an inconvenience to you, but this isn't the Ark. Down here, every life matters."

"Take a look at him, he's a lost cause".

Clarke turns to Octavia this time, speaking softly, "Octavia, I've spent my whole life watching my mother heal people. If I say there's hope, there's hope." 

"This isn't about hope, it's about guts," Bellamy interjects, "You don't have the guts to make the hard choices. I do. He's been like this for three days. If he's not better by tomorrow, I'll kill him myself. Octavia, let's go."
