Skaikrus Natblida

Chapter Two

After I had finished cleaning myself up in the water and tearing off some of my shirt to use as a bandage the sky had grown dark. I made my way back to camp and noted the absolute chaos it was in. Of course Wells and Bellamy were arguing. I rolled my eyes as it started to rain. I smiled into the sky as Wells told Bellamy we needed to collect it.

I refused to tell anyone about the man I had run into. I didn't know how everyone would react. It scared me honestly, that we weren't alone. I was also intrigued. I wanted to see this man again and find out more. I wanted to know how his ancestors survived. And most importantly I wanted to know more about my blood. He had called me a Nightblida. I needed to know why.

The next day everyone who had went out to find food came back except one. They all looked shaken up nonetheless. "What happened to goggles boy?" I asked. "Jasper was attacked." Finn told me. "By what?" Bellamy chimed in. Clarke looked over to us two. "Not by what, who." she explained. My heart pounded into my chest yet I still remained emotionless. "Bellamy were not alone down here." octavia said in a frightful town. She met my eyes which caused me to look down at her leg. I pointed it out. "Some sea worm attacked me. Jasper saved me." she said with a sad smile. Bellamy opened his mouth to say something but Clarke beat him to it. "He screamed when they moved him. That means the spear didn't hit his heart." she told us. When no one spoke she continued. "We need to go after him." she pushed.

"Sounds dangerous. I'm in." I smiled. Clarke looked at me as if I was crazy. "What's your name anyways?" she asked me. I looked down at her, getting in her face. "My name is bob." I joked. Clarke didn't seem amused.

"Don't bother. No one knows her name and she refuses to tell anyone." Bellamy snapped. I smirked at him. Clarke threw her hands into the air, giving up before turning to the rest of the group. "Who else is coming?" she asked. Finn and Wells both raised their hands. "Bellamy, I hear you have a gun. Care to join us?" she asked. Bellamy lifted his shirt slightly to show off the gun in his belt. "Since good ol no name is coming, why can't I?" he said, winking at me. I internally gagged. "Good we leave in an hour." Clarke demanded before walking off to get who knows what.

An hour later and we were on our way. I stayed in the back of the group listening to Bellamy tell Murphy about the wristband situation. I looked down and rubbed my own. The only reason I kept it on was because of Raven. She had to know me and Finn were alive. I don't even know the guy but if raven loves him then I know he can't be that bad. The only issue I had with him was how often he flirted with Clarke. It was like he didn't even care that Raven was his.

Suddenly the group stopped and we decided to branch off. I went with Clarke while Wells and Bellamy were a group along with Murphy and finn.

"So princess, why are you so serious all the time?" I asked with a smirk. She shot me a death glare before turning back. "Why don't you tell anyone your name?" she snapped back. I let out a low laugh. "Why should people know about my name? They know my face isn't that good enough?" I asked. "You're so difficult." she whispered. "Let's see in the two days I have known you, I know that your name is Clarke Griffin daughter of Abby Griffin. Your father was floated after he wanted to warn the people of the ark that they were running out of air. Of and that you hate wells for turning in your dad. Am I correct?" I asked her. She looked at me shocked. "Oh come on, you're not that hard to figure out. Actually everyone in camp is easy to figure out. Kinda boring if you ask me." I explained.

"Are you some sort of stalker?" she asked. "Nope, I'm just studying people." I explained. Her eyes darted down to the knife I had stolen off the man who attacked me, causing her to stop in her tracks. "Hey where did you get this?" she asked while grabbing it. "Found it." I lied. She looked up and searched my eyes before sighing. "You truly are difficult." she said under her breath. I ran up to catch up to her as we entered into a clearing. I was the first to notice the groaning jasper being tied up.

"Jasper!" Clarke yelled and rushed forward with me close on her trail. Suddenly was no longer in front of me and that caused me to reach out and grab her before her body could fall into the pit. We stared at each other as shock ran through both of us. "Clarke!" Finn yelled as he rushed forward to help me. That's when my initial shock ran away and I started helping pull up the blue eyed blond. She fell on top of me when we had finally gotten her up. Her eyes never left my brown ones. "Clark are you ok?" Finn asked as he pulled her off me. I ran a hand through my short brown curls as I stood up after Bellamy had helped me.

"I'm ok , thank you." she said towards me. I nodded and refocused back on jasper. "I'll climb up and untie him." I told everyone. No one objected as I made my way towards Jasper. I started to cut the poor boy down when the growling started. Everyone froze as a panther emerged from the grass and ran towards clarke. "Bellamy gun now!" she screamed. He reached for it only to find it wasn't there. Even though he didn't have it we still heard gunshots. I turned my head to Wells who now held the gun. But he had a horrible shot. The panther still ran towards Clark and she was too scared to move. I quickly jumped down and ran towards her, pushing her out of the way as the panther leaped from where she had just stood. We rolled on the ground, now with me landing on top. I quickly got up as wells ran out of bullets.

"What the fuck wells!" I screamed. He looked up in terror and i relized the panther was now running towards me and clark again. I reached for the knife and pushed Clarke behind me as the panther jumped into the air. As it neared I impaled the knife into its stomach as it dropped onto me. It was heavy so Bellamy had to help push it off of me. I was now drenched in panther blood but I didn't mind. If I had gotten a scrape no one would notice. I laughed at the irony as everyone stared at me. "Looks like we are having dinner." I noted. Suddenly arms wrapped around my frame and I immediately recognized the blond hair that was stuck to my face. "Thank you so much!" Clarke breathed. I patted her back and laughed. "Come on, let's get Jasper back to camp.

Everyone agreed and soon we were hauling Jasper as well as the panther back to camp. Clarke and I took Jasper to the dropship where we immediately got him cleaned up and started inspecting him.

It was only us two plus an unconscious Jasper on the third level. As I dragged the bloody rag against Jasper's body I noticed some black blood drip down my arm. "Shit!" I cursed under my breath. I looked over to Clarke who didn't notice my sudden change. "Do you think I could go clean up real fast?" I asked. She looked up and hummed a yes. I rushed out of the room and towards the water I had got attacked at. Quickly I found the source of my blood. It was coming from my old cut. I must have reopened it when I rolled on the ground during the panther attack.

I stood in the water scrubbing my cut raw. I cleaned my whole body and took many deep breaths. Suddenly a voice rang from behind me. I turned around and saw the guy that had attacked me yesterday. I brought the knife in front of me and his eyes fluttered towards it. "I was wondering what happened to my knife," he laughed. "So you do speak english!" I said in shock. He nodded. "I do, I'm also not here to hurt you." he told me. I tightened my grip on the knife. "How should I trust you?" I spat. "You can't. I'm just hoping you will." He told me before throwing his sword and knife to the ground. "I would like to teach you my peoples ways. And I can give you answers about your blood." he told me. I lowered the knife at the thought of knowing more about my blood. "Your saying I'm not a freak?" I asked.

He looked as if I was crazy, "your blood is the blood of our leader." he told me. "If you let me teach you, my people will treat you with respect."

I weighed my options for a moment before nodding and throwing the knife to the ground. "I'm Bailey." I told my name for the first time down here. "Vince." he smiled. We both approached each other and grabbed each other's arms. "When do we start?" I asked with a smirk. "I'll leave one of these by your camp whenever we train." he said and showed me a handful of nuts. "There jobi nuts, don't eat them," he explained. "Why not?" I asked. "They make you go crazy," he warned. I nodded in understanding as he threw them into the forest. "Would you like me to help you with your cut?" he asked. I looked at my arm and noticed it was bleeding again so I accepted his offer.
