nine - Oh My God, Are You High?

A mirthless smile takes over Brandi's features as she leans against a tree near the dropship, witnessing every other teen leave and enter with ecstatic encounters.

They got to have a chance to actually know that they're parent's are alive. To know that one day, they can be together in peace.

To know that no matter what comes in they're way, they'll always love each other.

I guess you could say Brandi's never felt that, let alone experienced it.

Life with the grounders weren't easy. They made sure that no matter what age you are, you're a soldier. Everyday is you're battlefield and you're only way into sleeping by the time it hits nightfall is if you survive by fighting you're way towards it.

But of course, she couldn't drown in her own self absorbed pity. Not when she wasn't the only one who didn't have parents to look forward on seeing.

''Sucks, don't it?'' Raven asks as she walks over to Brandi with her hands were stuffed in her jacket pockets.

Brandi scoffs.''God if we all could have a chance to tell our parents that we love them, let alone see them one last time, I'd be happy any other day.''

''Join the club'' Octavia comments, approaching the two as well.

Raven furrows her brows. ''I thought you were doing you're grounder protest?''

Octavia cocks a brow. ''You of all people shouldn't be making fun.''

''We all were desperate to save Finn's life'' Raven reasons, pointing out the fact that she wasn't the only one torturing him.

''He's human too. If I hadn't done what I did, they'd both be dead.''

Raven clenches her jaw as her and Brandi watch Octavia return to the dropship.

''And here I was, thinking we could be squad goals'' Brandi mutters under breath as she leans her head against the tree.

A light but surreal chuckle slips past her lips as Raven playfully nudges her arm.

For once since Brandi's been living with the sky people, she decided to help out around the camp if she's gonna be staying during the winter.

That and the fact that there was nothing else that Brandi could do.

With Bellamy and Clarke on a supply expedition and the unnamed grounder hogging her personal space on the third level of the dropship, her only other option was to suppress her boredom by doing some heavy lifting.

So Brandi sat in a more secluded area of the camp with about a dozen pile of thick sticks, and two shaped into a sphere.

She was wondering if today wasn't a day Bellamy would act like a half ass, he'd be her dummy to practice her fighting skills with.

While her brows furrow, a brow arches when she hears a sudden yelp.

She turns to see Jasper scrambling on the ground as he fearfully eye's the hole of the gate that was left uncover.

She drops her knife and stick to the ground before scurrying to her feet to follow Jasper into the main scene of the camp.

''Octavia? Octavia..''

Brandi takes careful steps around him and next to the brunette who was sewing animal fur together into a blanket.

''I think I'm going crazy or the grounders are here, or I'm going crazy, or-''
