It has been a day since the reveal of Wells murder and right now I was cooped into my tent as I used wood bark to create a whip for today.

Completing it I sighed ignoring the screen that appeared right after.

[—Crafting has leveled up.]

Wrapping the whip around my waist I walked out of my tent and found that everyone was already up and at the centre waiting.

Walking towards the dropship door ramp I looked down at the gathered crowd which was murmuring a couple seconds ago but had suddenly stopped at my view.

" As we all know, yesterday one of our own was killed in cold blood by the actions of one of our own, so I have called you all here to show and make an example why you shouldn't break the simple rules and order we have put in place here and hopefully this had been the first and last time we take death so lightly." Were my words pulling them from the recess of my mind.

" Murphy." I said looking at the boy as he nodded and walked towards the tent where Charlotte was being kept.

He walked out alongside a guard that was guarding her.

" Tie her with her hands up." I told him and watched as he tied the crying girls hands to a branch overhead us as I moved close to them as the other 100 followed.

Her body dangled being kept up by the rope holding her up.

" For the crime of murdering Wells Jaha and having put into account your minor status your punishment is 20 whip lashes." I said out loud causing the others to immediately break out in chatter.

So setting the girl to turn I walked a good distance behind her and let my wrip loose.

" Wait! Ezekiel! You can't do this! She's just a child and didn't know any better." Bellamy said trying to walk up to me but was stopped by two guards who grabbed him by the shoulders and forced him to the ground.

" Be that as it may Bellamy, punishment is needed." I said already wanting to get this over and done with.

" Miller." I said looking over to the boy not that far away from me staring at me as he nodded.

I also noticed that Clarke, Monty, Jasper and Octavia were with the crowd.

Breathing in I looked at the girl quivering and whimpering and pulled the whip back and heard the 'Whiiii' that resounded before I let it soar and hit the girl tearing through her jacket with ease and striking at her bare skin.

" AHHHHHHHH!" Came her screams as her whimpers turned to pained shouts to bawling her eyes out in tears.

" Ezekiel! Stop!" Bellamy shouted but I gnored him and pulled the whip back and forward in rapid succession.

It was by the 13th whip that she suddenly just slumped and didn't cry anymore, passed out or worse dead.

But even so I didn't stop.

" Ezekiel!!!"

I kept striking at her back watching as the clothes on her back were nothing more then strips of cloth now and then finally I stroked for the last time.

" 20!." Miller shouted having been the one counting.

Breathing in I let the whip down and looked at Bellamy.

" Get her to the dropship and have Clarke take care of her." I muttered knowing that she wasn't dead yet, my senses could pick up on that fairly easily.

So I walked off and passed by Miller.

" Get the guard and hunters here alongside anyone who wants to learn how to fight, we begin practice today." I said in passing knowing fully well that Miller would do as I said.

_______________________________________________________

Training went incredibly and it kept me preoccupied and I also noticed a bit of fear from the other 100 for me, this could either be good or bad but I decided to battle that when I could.

But aside from that training went incredibly, I had two rotations where one was manning the walls and the other was training this had it so that no grounder attack would happen.

Those I taught took to fighting and my survival skills like fish in water, and that was due to one skill.

[—Teaching[Lv-10/10]-]

I had maxed the skill out after going for a hunting trip alone just before training started and after killing a boar I managed to level up, it would be great if I had a exp counter or percentile counter to when I'd level up though but this was fine too as long as I leveled.

I was now level 4 and had put my free stats into [Body] to gain that physical boost which I needed and I felt full of energy which made teaching and sparring with the hunters and guard that much easier.

Octavia had joined on the second rotation training just as she promised and took to fighting both with and without a Weopon better then the others which she was clearly happy about as she was able to beat the others into hand to hand and Weopon combat setting herself as the most skilled.

And now it was already night time and I was currently in the dropship and there I found Clarke taking care of Charllotes wounds, she was still passed out though.

I walked over quietly and inspected the paste she was putting ontop of Charllotes wounds.

" Good, you're already pretty good at this." I said as I lay down leaning on the wall.

" Thanks, I've been practicing." She said and then went quiet for a moment before suddenly looking at me.

" Look Ezekiel, I'm sorry....about the whole thing with jumping the gun and telling everyone about the knife and accusing Murphy like that." She said genuinely looking apologetic." You're the leader and I should respect that and I promise it won't happen again."

" You're alright, it's fine , it's all in the past and I understand you were mad with Wells being your friend and all...." I said with a shrugg.

" I probably would have done the same for my girlfriend." I said with a mischievous grin.

" Girlfriend?....wait no, me and Wells weren't dating!" She suddenly said catching on to my wording.

" Oh? A beautiful girl like you with no man in her life, that's rare or maybe you fancy more of the fairer sex?" I said jestingly.

" No it's not like that...I mean, I just haven't found someone I like yet that's all!" She shouted with a blush at my comment.

" Ahhhh how about that Finn guy?" I asked causing her to pause.

" Finn is....I don't know yet." She said frowning at I decided to take that shot to create a ridge between them before Finn could hit that.

" Well be careful, the last time I checked Finn had a girlfriend back in the ark and she was a feisty little thing." I said jokingly ignoring the flinch and pause from her as I stood up.

" Well I'm gonna go get some shut eye." I said and went down the ladder with a victorious grin on my face and just at that I passed by Finn going to the droship.

' Heh....' I thought entering my tent and finding Octavia inside, this made me frown.
