Part 3
I made another mark on the tree with a dagger. Day 5 we had been on the ground 5 days with no contact with the ark and grounders trying to kill us. I sat down resting my back up against the tree I stuck the dagger in the ground. Jasper was gone, maybe dead. He was kidnapped and speared by grounders. I started to cry."Maddie, are you okay", Monty half whispered.
I jumped. He was standing next to me.
"Are you? I mean Jasper is..."
"Fine! Jaspers fine"
Jasper was Monty and I best friend, we did everything together we even got arrested together
...
Flashback on the ark
I was squished between Jasper and Monty in a supplies closet by room 383. They were waiting for the right moment.
"Now", Monty said.
Jasper flung open the door.
"Whatever were doing it's probably not a good idea", I said.
"It's fine we won't get caught. Besides you and Monty will love it", Jasper said.
"Fine", I finally agreed.
Jasper took my hand and demanded me to close my eyes.
"What about Monty. Isn't it for him too" I said.
I didn't want Jasper to let go of my hand.
"He can hack the tech", said Jasper.
About five minutes later I opened my eyes. I was surrounded by plants. There was three rows of the most beautiful things ever. Trees in one row, an assortment of flowers, and plants/roots.
"Is that a maple tree?", Monty said in shook.
"I knew you guys would love it", Jasper said.
"We're just looking, right? and of course I love it", I said.
Jasper gave Monty a sideways look.
"Well...We were planning on steeling some....pot", Monty said.
"If you want to to you can but count me out", I said.
"Madeline. Madeline. Don't you ever have any fun", Jasper said teasing.
Jasper started cutting at pot plant he shoved some in his pocket and gave some to Monty who also put it in his pocket. I rolled my eyes.
"Someone's coming", Monty said.
Jasper hid behind a cart with water and plant food and Monty and I dove behind a row of plants. Some guard person walked in. He took the cart where Jasper was and started moving it.
"No", I muttered to myself.
You could now see half of Jasper.
"Hey what are you doing here", the guard said.
He grabbed Jasper and yanked him up. He then put a gun to his head.
"NO", I said now yelling and jumping up from my hiding spot.
"Maddie wait. Don't", Monty said also getting up.
"Oh there's more", the guard said into his walkie talky.
He said something else to his walkie talky, more guards came we were doomed!
...
"I hope so", I said.
"Jasper is brave he's going to be alright"
Monty sat down next to me and I hugged him. I felt safe whenever I was with Monty. When I was eight my parents were floated (I was never knew why) I was adopted by Monty's parents. They were always kind and treated me like their own. A few tears leaked from Monty's eyes so much for being brave. He always looked cute when he was sad. I dug my fingernails into my palms. I needed to stop thinking like that, he was my brother! Monty tapped my shoulder and pointed into the woods. A group of people were coming.
"It's them! The rescue mission is back!", I exclaimed.
I heard Monty take a deep breath. My heart was racing we would soon find out if Jasper was alive. Once they got closer I could see they were holding a body. Jasper! I ran over to them apparently Octavia and Monty had the same idea. Jasper was covered in blood and bruises. It looked like his finger nails had been ripped of.
"Is he alive?", Octavia asked all worried
I wanted to rip her head off!
"He's alive for now. We need to get him to the drop ship quickly", Clarke said.
"Get out of the way", I shouted to a bunch of people crowded around us and the drop ship.
I held Jaspers hand and Octavia glared at me. Monty said a bunch of encouraging things to Jasper, he couldn't hear him though so it was pretty much useless. Jasper was put in the drop ship on the floor. Clarke bandaged he's wounds and did what she could. It killed me to see Jasper like this. He had to live he had to. I couldn't imagine life without him.
As if Monty read my mind he said "he's not going to die"
Monty was always trying to make me feel better, probably himself too. The more he said it the more true it must seem to him. It wasn't making me feel any better though facts are facts Jasper was here and on the verge of death. Jasper started coughing. I rushed over. His Eyes slowly opened.
"Madeline?", he said.
I smiled and nodded. Monty practically ran over to Jasper.
"Your alright we were all worried", Monty exclaimed.
"He needs his rest", Clarke said.
Clarke was always so annoying she was just doing what we needed to do to survive but she doesn't understand what it's like to love someone.
"Goodbye jasper", Monty whispered to Jasper.
I waved and walked out with Clarke
