After a while they were on a rocky path, small ponds around them. Lovella admired the scenery, carefully stepping around the rocks. "Hey, how do we know this is the right way?" Murphy asked as they walked in a line.

"We don't. Spacewalker thinks he's a tracker." Bellamy sighed as he walked behind the rest, pointing at Finn.

"It's called cutting sign. Fourth-year earth skills. He's good." Wells responded as Finn crouched down as he examined their surroundings.

"You want to keep it down or should I paint a target on your backs?" Finn asked sarcastically as he stood up, Clarke standing behind him.

They watched as he picked up a leaf of a branch, looking at the blood on the leaf. He then dropped to the floor once more, looking at some blood that was on the rock, Clarke crouching at his side.

"See? You're invisible." Bellamy muttered to wells, making lovella raise a brow. They all looked up when they heard a groan in the distance.

"What the hell was that?" Murphy asked as he spun around.

"Now would be a good time to take out your gun." Clarke told the oldest blake, making him pull out his gun with one swift motion.

Lovella stayed beside wells, carefully stepping around and pushing any branches out of the way.

They all came a to holt as they saw jasper tired to a tree like bait, making lovellas eyes widen. "Jasper." Clarke sighed.

Lovella was the first one to walk towards jasper. What she didn't expect was for the ground to fall, making her fall into a hole.

She felt someone grab her arm as she sighed, looking up to see Bellamy. She looked back down to see multiple spikes underneath her, making her panic slightly. "Pull me up!" She panted heavily as she looked Bellamy straight in the eye, holding onto his arm, tightly.

She felt him pull her up, with help of the rest, Murphy grabbing her other hand as wells grabbed her by the waist. Lovella breathed out heavily as she sat down on the grass, staring down at the hole she just fell into. "You okay?" Clarke asked as she crouched beside the Kane girl, looking at her with worried eyes.

"Yeah, yeah. Didn't see that coming. Cool trap" Lovella shook her head as Clarke helped her stand up. She turned to Bellamy, nodding her head. "Thank you." She sighed, Bellamy sending her a nod also.

"We need to get him down." Clarke turned to jasper, her arm still on lovellas.

"I'll climb up there and cut the vines." Finn added as he looked up at jasper.

"Yeah. Im with you." Wells went to follow Finn but Finn stopped as he turned around. "No. Stay with Clarke and lovella. You." He pointed his head at Murphy.

Lovella frowned slightly as she turned to Finn. Why couldn't she help? Jasper was her best friend. "There's a poultice on his wound." Clarke realised as Murphy walked past them and towards Finn.

"Medicine?" Wells frowned slightly. "Why would they save his life just to string him up as live bait?" Wells questioned as lovella thought.

"Maybe they don't want to kill him." She offered, making the three turn to her. "It was a suggestion." She shrugged, not believing all grounders were that bad, not from the things Paisley had told her.

"Maybe, what they're trying to catch, likes its dinner to be breathing." Bellamy cleared his throat, trying not to think about lovellas comment. Lovella turned to him with wide eyes.

"Maybe, what they're trying to catch, is us." Finn added, not agreeing with either of them.

The two climbed up the tree, helping to cut jasper free. Lovella sighed as she looked up, covering her eyes slightly due to the sun in her eyes.

"Hurry up, Murphy." Finn grumbled as he started to finish cutting the ties around jaspers hands.

"Be careful." Clarke called up to them.

"Don't fall." Lovella added slightly, signing as she saw the look Murphy gave her. "Trying to help here, Murphy."

"Don't." Murphy called down to her, glare on his face-making her sigh.

"Sorry." She placed her hands on her hips as she looked around.

They all spun around as they heard an animalistic growl, making Lovella spin around. "Grounders?" Bellamy asked slightly.

"I don't think grounders growl like lions, Bellamy." Lovella shook her head, raising a brow a him. They all turned into the forest, eyes widening as they saw a black panther make its way towards them. "Oh, found the growling source." She muttered as the animal growled loudly, running towards them.

"We know." Bellamy turned to her with wide eyes, making them all step backwards.

"Bellamy, gun!" Clarke called to him, making Bellamy grab his gun, but paused, not feeling the gun.

Lovella expected Bellamy to fire but she turned to the sound of the gun to see wells. The panther ducked down slightly, making lovella move more back. She was defenceless.

There was silence as lovella spun around, trying to find the source of the small footprints. She turned left slightly, looking at the moving grass, able to hear the panthers Low growls.

"Wells." She breathed out quietly, pointing to the grass as wells turned to her direction. Lovella didn't realise she was right in the panthers side until she was moved.

She almost fell backwards, being grabbed by her arm as a gun fired. Lovellas heart raced as she turned around, looking up at bellamy-who was staring at the dead animal right at their feet.

Lovella sighed at the familiarity of the walls of the camp. She helped wells and Finn carry jasper into camp, holding his hand with a worried look.

"They're back!" Someone yelled as Clarke walked in front. Lovella sighed as she saw Octavia run to their side.

"Els!" The girl cheered as she threw her arms around lovella, startling the girl at first but lovella hugged back, arms wrapped around her neck.

"Who's hungry?" Bellamy asked as the kids started to cheer. Lovella was definitely hungry.
Bellamy pulled Octavia into a side hug as as lovella looked down at the dead animal.

But lovella wasn't happy when she heard they had to take their wristband off to have some food. And she wasn't going to take her wristband off. She had been in the drop shop with an unconscious jasper and a worried monty.

She lifted her head off of Monty's shoulder, sighing as she let go of jaspers hand. "Im going to get some food, want some?" Lovella stood up as she turned to monty.

"But we have our wristbands on." Monty frowned as lovella smiled, humming.

"I know. But In the words of the infamous bellamy blake: 'whatever the hell we want.'" She chuckled at the words, making monty laugh. "Besides, Bellamy didn't kill the panther, wells did." She grinned as she walked towards the latch, opening it up and climbing down the ladders.

She immediately saw Murphy breaking the wristbands, people lining up for a stick of meat. Lovella let out a sigh, biting on her tongue, before walking forwards.

She quickly walked to the fire, sneakily grabbing two sticks before Murphy could see her. But she slightly jumped as she turned around, seeing Bellamy stand in front of her. She hid the food behind her back, smiling innocently at Bellamy. "Ever heard not to sneak up on a girl like that?" She nervously chuckled.

"What you got there, sunshine?" He pointed behind her back, making her pull out her free hand. "The other hand, lovella." He sighed as she swapped her hands, placing the food in her other hand.

Lovella grinned but she let out a sigh as she looked down, pulling the sticks from behind her back. "Uh, look what I found on the floor." She grinned once again. Bellamy tilted his head she breathed out. "I was just getting some food for myself and monty."

"But, You still have your wristband on." He pointed to her wrist, making her nod her head. She blew a puff of air out as she looked down at the food. "And doesn't monty still have his on."

"How about I'll take mine off and monty can eat? And I'll give you the other stick back." Lovella suggested, holding the stick out for him, wanting to make sure monty ate something. She knew monty loved his mother and father. He would want to scare them like that. So lovella would make a sacrifice for him.

Bellamy raised a brow at the girls suggestion, how she was willing to sacrifice her wristband so her friend could eat. He admired that about her, so, he pushed her hand back to her, shaking his head. "It's fine, sunshine. Eat. You'll need the energy." He told her as she pulled a shocked face, but then immediately smiled, the smile reaching her eyes.

She quickly pulled Bellamy into a small hug, muttering a lot of 'thank you's'. He slightly tensed up, patting her back. He knew how happy the girl could get from one small action, Octavia yapping all about lovella on the first day on Earth. Besides, he owed her for trying to help Octavia on the ark and getting herself arrested. But, he hugged the girl, nevertheless. "Thank you, bell!" She gratefully said as she immediately ran back into the drop ship, not noticing the chuckle coming from Bellamy. Lovella quickly climbed up the ladder and turned to monty. "Tada." She grinned as she held out the stick of meat for him, making him stand up, and walk towards her.

"How did you get two? And you still have your wristband." Monty asked as he gratefully took the stick of meat.

"I just have the ultimate charm." She joked with a small chuckle, moving to sit beside jasper. "I hope he'll be okay."

"He will, especially when he has doctor Kane at his rescue." Monty sent her a smile as she chuckled, nodding her head.

"He needs medicine thought. Think you could find some plants or flowers that could be turned into medicine?" Lovella suggested as she ate the meat.

"Maybe." Monty shrugged his shoulders as lovella let out a sigh, resting her head in his shoulders. Then an idea popped into her head. She and Paisley had arranged to meet once again at the same place, same time. Maybe she could ask for some medicine.

— madeleines notes.

UGH. Lovella is an absolute soft angel. ONG. Like she would go out of her way to make sure people are okay! LIKE!?!? How could anyone not love her???
