[Chapter —5]

We got the others to come to our locations and after filling them on what had happened I told them to get behind me as I tracked down the groves on the ground, the blood here and there and broken twigs and such.

We followed close by the river and after crouching to the ground and touching a rock with a sprinkle of blood on it which was followed and mimicked by Clarke I heard Bellamy say to Wells and Finn something along the lines of ' See, with him around you're invisible.'

" He's nearby." I said and like on cue we heard screams and groans coming not far from here.

" Jasper!" Clarke muttered before I started walking faster towards the place of the groans and made it to a semi-clearing with the others behind me.

" Jasper..." Clarke muttered as we stared at Jasper having been tied to a tree with his upper body naked and with something on his wound.

We started running towards the tree and all the while I was keeping watch if our surroundings, knowing fully well that a panther was watching us.

"What is this?" Asked Bellamy behind me and just at that moment Clarke who was infront of me suddenly stepped into a pothole trap.

I grabbed her arm before she could fall into the wooden spikes on the bottom.

" Fuck!" I muttered as the others came behind me and helped pulling her out, I let this happen because I wanted Wells to steal and use up all the bullets for Bellamy's gun.

Pulling her up I slowly shook my hand finding that it had been slightly sprained from me sudden grabbing a falling Clarke.

" Are you okay?" asked Finn to Clarke who nodded and looked at me shaking my hand.

" Are you okay?" She asked looking at me, this caused Finn to frown seeing as she was dismissed for me but I simply shrugged.

" Just sprained my hand that's all, I'll be fine. Let's get Jasper down and let's get out of here before whoever set this trap comes back with some friends." I told them as I grabbed my bow and three arrows.

I was gonna be fast drawing soon as shooting a moving target was gonna be harder then shooting a deer on stasis.

" Finn and Murphy, climb up there and cut the vines, quickly." I told them.

And just as they got up there and started cutting through the vines that kept Jasper tied to the three I felt something.

I pulled an arrow back on my bow and pointed it at a distance with no explanation.

" What's wro-"*Growl* A growl emanated from where I was pointing my bow at.

And there, a black furred panther walked out growling and staring at us before it suddenly started charging.

" Bellamy, gun!" Shouted Clarke and looking at the corner Bellamy couldn't find his gun as he patted where it had been with no success.

But then a gunshot emanated behind me as Wells started shooting at the panther causing it to stop at its charge and jump to the foliage around us.

The bushes started shaking causing Wells to shoot with no success before his last shot had the bushes still, the clicks of an empty gun along with it.

Then out of nowhere and seemingly having seen a chance the panther suddenly jumped out towards Bellamy who stared around himself with fear clear in his eyes.

Already my hands were moving with the panther with all three arrows cocked back before I let them free, and thus all three arrows imbedded themselves on the panther and it fell to the ground with a thud.

One arrow was imbedded on its eye and through the other side, one on its shoulder and another on its rib area.

But that wasn't what I focused on.

[—Ding! You've leveled up][+5 Stat Points][+5 Skill Points.]

" Huh?." I found myself muttering out loud before I quickly opened my status.

[—Name: Ezekiel Sinclair.

—Class: None.

—[Stats]—

—Sense: 14

—[Stats: 5]—

' I leveled up?' I suprised for a moment before I shook myself out of my daze and walked towards the panther besides Bellamy.

" Well, I guess we caught today's dinner huh?" I said out loud to the others causing Murphy to shout.

" Fuck yeah!" Murphy shouted with a grin on his face.

Looking at Bellamy he gave a nod of which I reciprocated before Bellamy walked past me and I heard as he said to Wells.

" Still doesn't see you." He said passing Wells as he went to help Finn and Wells take down Jasper.

Looking back I saw Clarke staring right at me before she mouthed a 'Thank you' of which I simply smiled and nodded to before started taking our my arrows out of the panther.

Then I took some vines and tied the thing to my back, it would slow me down but that was fine.

' Fuck it, let's put all my stats into Body.' I thought mentally willing for all 5 stats into my [Body] stat before feeling a sudden bout of strength and energy course through me.

' The carcass isn't heavy anymore.' I thought with a grin.

" Let's hurry, Daylight will be gone soon." I shouted as Finn and Wells grabbed Jasper and carried him.

" Okay, let's go." I muttered and took the lead and started going back to camp.

_______________________________________________________

It took us a couple hours to get back to camp and immediately Clarke shot out orders.

" He's alive, I need boiled water and strips of cloth and bandage." She said as she led Finn and Wells inside the dropship alongside Jasper's unconscious body.

As I entered camp all eyes again were on me.

Staring at the fire at the centre I found that my deer was still on bonfire, it had been ready for hours probably but I had told the 5 people I left it on to make sure nobody fucked with it or else they'd have to answer to me, it seemed that the threat was effective.

Walking over to the deer I dropped the panther close by my skinning log.

" So.... who's hungry!?" I shouted staring at the rest of what was left of the 100.

"Wooooh!""Yeah!""Let's go!" Were the shouts that reverberated after I said that causing me to grin and shake my head before I grabbed the deer by the stick handle piercing through it.

" Good! Eat today and rest well, because tommorow we begin working..." I said causing the shootings to quiet down as they listened closely." We are not alone in this forest, there are other more dangerous creatures and even people out there that have been here longer then any of us, they probably see us as invaders and will act on us as such." I said having everyone concentrated on me.

" But even so, that doesn't mean that we'll lay down and take whatever they throw at us!" I told them having my voice picking up." So if they decide to attack us I hope that we'll be ready!" at this I got a dozen 'Yeah's'.

" But to do that we need to come together, we need to establish rules of order or risk having us destroy each other before the grounders could even try." This caused them to gain some understanding of our situation a bit.

" So starting tomorrow we'll be building walls, and after that I'll teach every single one of you how to fight, how to survive and how to thrive."

" So I ask you one hundred, are you with me!!"

" Yeah!!"X91

" Good! Then let's eat!" I shouted before grabbing one of my dozen throwing knives and held it out towards Bellamy.

" Bellamy, will you do the honours?" I said looking at him watching as he became suprised before looking around and at his sister and then grabbed the knife and looked at me and nodded.

Grinning I took out another knife and began skinning the panther at a distance away.
