Like Hell He's Dead

[Deleted]

Monty was missing. "Clarke, Finn, and Monty are gone, probably dead." That had been a hell of a way to find out his best friend was missing. And that Bellamy had already written him off. Jasper was angry, and scared, and he sure as hell wasn't going to write his best friend off. "If you want to be next, I can't stop you, but no guns are leaving this camp!" Bellamy had also said. But Jasper already had a gun, and he hadn't spent years sneaking around the Ark to no be able to figure out how to get out of camp without getting caught. He worked guard duty too. He knew their weaknesses. And it was probably stupid to leave camp on his own, but this was Monty. The closest person to blood Jasper had left.

He was scared, but his feet kept moving, his knuckles white as he gripped his weapon. He wasn't sure how long he'd been out on the woods, probably hours. He wondered vaguely if Bellamy noticed he was gone. If he'd send anyone after him, even if just to retrieve the gun. But he kept moving until he started to get tired. He was starting to look for shelter for the night when he heard it. A rusting. Jasper spun to see what had caused the noise when blinding pain attacked his thigh. He cried out, collapsing as some sort of animal fell on top of him. It was too dark to tell what it was, or how to even fight it off, and in his blind panic, Jasper shot it. It cried and ran away, whimpering in pain.

Jasper couldn't catch his breath as he sit up, pressing his hand against his wound frantically, whimpering in pain and looking wildly around himself. The gunshot would let anyone in the area know where his was. He needed to get to shelter and do what he could to bandage his wound... but how?

Seeing an area of thick brush, Jasper started to drag himself toward it on his hands and good leg. It would at least provide some cover while he bandaged himself. With his t-shirt, he supposed.

The first thing Ludo came across after the shot was fired was a bleeding animal.
At first he had thought that some of his people was attacked by Skaikru and he
had left his business to have a look at the situation. He would be able to help no
matter what but seeing the wounded animal told him that this shooting was about
something very different compared to his first thoughts. He pulled his dagger,
bended over the animal that was on the ground, gasping for air. He ended it's
missery and swang it around his neck - there were no need to leave food to rot.
The blood trail the animal had left lead Ludo to glade where some action had
taken place. He squatted down to examine the ground for more and then he found
it.. Another blood trail that lead away from the fighting spot in the opposite 
direction as the animal had run off. He got up and in a stooped posture he then
followed the new trail towards a thick brush not to far away. It couldn't be an
other animal and therefore he had to be cautious about his next move. He slowly
approached the brush and then said "Hey.. I come in peace!", He did not want to
get shot by an Arker and he thought that letting the Arker know that he was
there then no shooting actually had to be fired. He stepped even closer and peaked
into the brush. The blood came from the person in there and from the looks of
it he would be in need of some help just to survive - even though he did not know
how bad it looked he still examined the teeth on the beast and they could leave 
a nasty wound.

Jasper was taking his jacket off, deciding his t-shirt would be the best option to tie his leg up with. It wasn't good protection against the elements like his jacket was. He was starting to tug his shirt of when the sound of someone or something approaching him. He let his shirt fall back down over him and grabbed his gun, aiming it in the direction of the noise. Someone spoke. English. Decent English at that, and Jasper was under the impression only Grounder warriors spoke English.

When the other man came into sight, Jasper kept his gun pointed at him. The other man wasn't large like he had come to expect Grounder warriors to look. Jasper thought if he stood, he might be taller than the other man. But Jasper was on edge, from his best friends being missing, to his friend and leader abandoning Monty, and now this. Jasper glared, trying to look strong, even as he could feel himself weakening. If he didn't bandage his leg fast, he'd be in trouble. He briefly considered shooting the other man so he could tend to his leg, but two gunshots would draw more attention than one, and if this Grounder was telling the truth, maybe he could help. Jasper doubted that, though. "Why should I believe you?" he demanded. He hesitated a moment, the added, "Where's my friend?!"

The Arker was very close to pull the tricker that Ludo was sustain of but still the guy
started a conversation something that was still hard for Ludo to see as a normality.
He was just to answer the first question when the Arker wanted to know about some
friend of his that was missing. "Do you mean your 'friend' that bit you or..?" Ludo 
asked unsure of what friend the Arker was talking about and then looked at the wound
that bled and had to be taken care of soon. With an Arker like this one he had to tread
carefully so Ludo showed the guy his hands - one of them still with the knife in it - 
and with a slowmotion movement he removed his hand with the knife in it and put
it back in its sheath without removing his look from the Arker. Communicating with Arkers
was a delicate and difficult thing and it was even harder to act around them. The wound
had to be attended and soon so all the slow movement would take its time and maybe
Ludo would be at no help by the time the Arker decided Ludo was trustworthy."Listen..
I can help with the wound" Ludo then explained and looked at the wound again.
"You need help. Will you let me help you or do you want to bleed to death?" he then
asked with exaggeration just to highlight how it would end eventually because this
guy was far from home and with him bleeding the animals would come and attack.
Even more vicious animals than the one he already had come in contact with.

His friend that bit him? Jasper looked at the animal around the Grounder's neck, frowning. Did he really not know where Monty was, or was he mocking Jasper? The Grounder raised his hands, though, and Jasper eyed the knife as the other man lowered it and re-sheathed it. Jasper's shoulders relaxed a little, lowering the gun slightly so that it wasn't pointed at the Grounder's head anymore. He was offering to help now, but Jasper had very little reason to trust Grounders in general. Still, his options were trust the other man, who didn't seem threatening right now, or shoot him, which would draw more attention to himself in his already weakened state.

Slowly, Jasper lowered his gun, watching for any signs the Grounder might attack, until the gun was resting by his side "I know how to bandage a wound," he said. He hoped he was right. How hard could it be, really? You just made sure there was pressure to stop the bleeding, right? He tugged off his shirt, ready to tear it into strips as a bandage. "My friend. He's maybe a little shorter than you, black hair, hangs over his forehead. Asian," he said. He had no idea if the Grounder would even know what 'Asian' meant, so he started describing what Monty had been wearing. He frowned when he was finished, adding, "Pretty sure your people took him."
