𝓐nastasia made it her responsibility to check on everyone while the fog was lifting through the sky making anybody who was outside to burn rapidly, with stage 3 radiation burns before meeting their demise.
All of them were gladly non fatale, and would be better in due time. She would watch the people she examined, all with a stink eye in her direction. A look that could kill and she wouldn't put it past the criminals to try. She knew how most them perceived her, and now she was locked in a tiny box with them for god knows how long.
She found refuge in the upper section taking care of Jasper, as Octavia sat on the other side watching, worrying about her brother. Jasper's moans seemed to piss off the group more now that they were trapped hearing his cries over and over again.
"Murphy's going to kill Jasper" Monty screamed out of nowhere running to shut the door. Octavia ran over as Murphy bust through the door just for Octavia to kick him back down as she stomped her boot on his head. "The lock's on the other side!" Monty screamed, seeing Murphy still trying to bust open the door. Anastasia knew that if Murphy bust through that door he was going to kill Jasper no doubt, no hesitation, unlike Bellamy.
"Don't let him in!" Octavia screamed running over to the side, grabbing a pole as Monty slid his butt over the door adding a little extra weight for Murphy to move to get up.
"I'm gonna kill him, ok?, let me in! let me in!" Murphy screamed pushing the door even harder.
"A little help?" Octavia asked to Anastasia who was sitting there still, as Octavia was struggling to break the pipe. Anastasia ran over grabbing hold of the pole and ripping it in the same direction.
"No rush, I'm fine" Monty answered sarcastically as he was being bounced up and down by Murphy. Octavia and Anastasia finally broke the pipe running over to the door as Octavia slid it through, keeping Jasper from Murphy. Anastasia looked over to them relieved, as the banging stopped on the door.
Not long after, Octavia passed out by a corner, and Monty fell asleep on the wristbands with his screwdriver tucked neatly under his finger. Anastasia was still haunted with many nightmares and couldn't seen to stay asleep so she managed her way through the night, watching Jasper, as he fell into and out of consciousness. She watched his breathing patterns trying to distract herself from her wondering thoughts that cluttered her brain. She had already memorized the top part of the drop ship to suppress the images that rushed in her mind. Now she was stuck studying Jasper, and no matter what she still found her mind wandering about.
"Ana!, get back here!" Her father screamed grabbing a hold of his daughter.
"Call down Marcus, she's just adventurous" Her mother called out with a slight laugh as she encouraged her daughters wild spirit.
When Anastasia saw the blink of her mother, it was like a flood of emotions pushed through. There was no way to deny the fact that Anastasia's was Lucy Liner Kane's daughter. They both shared silky brown hair that never stopped growing as it fell to the floor, straight like ruler. Their gorgeous light blue eyes that connived a type of innocent, reflected in their soft faces, that made them trustworthy.

"Adventure is what's going to get her locked up, Lucy" Her father called out letting Anastasia go bluntly, "Anastasia, I want you to go to your room and work on the homework that Chancellor Jaha gave you" he said sending her off down the long path to her room in the back of their "home".
Anastasia didn't listen to her father. Hurrying off to the hallway hiding behind a pillar that blocked her from the kitchen. She continued to watch her mother and her father conversation.
"I don't know why you put so much pressure on her, she's just a kid" Her mother replied sitting down at the table with a sigh.
"She's not just a kid, she's special" Her father replied sitting down at the seat adjacent firmly.
"Talk like that is why she lashes out" Her mother answered, listing off multiple reasons why Anastasia is growing up wrong.
"I don't expect you to understand Lucy" Her father spoke bluntly, "She is meant for so much more"
"She deserves a normal life, Marcus" she uttered using his name harshly.
A shaking of her elbow and her coma state was broken, Octavia now stood above her staring at the girl.
"I called your name, but you didn't answer" Octavia replied, noticing Anastasia slip in and out of sleepiness. "You should go to bed" Octavia picked Anastasia up gently and laid her next to Monty on the stool, watching Anastasia snuggle up before falling madly asleep.
"There back!" A voice called sending Octavia flying out of the room, followed by Anastasia who rushed down, leaving Monty. The day was boring and ever since the fog cleared up. Murphy stayed out of the drop ship after the fog dispersed but just to be safe they stayed near Jasper, which turned the day to move very slow.
"It's about time, they're going to kill Jasper" Octavia uttered bumping into Clarke.
"Did you get the medicine?" Anastasia asked looking at Clarke as Anastasia emerged from the drop ship.
"Yeah" Clarke answered "I got it" Clarke saw Octavia's eyes look over to her brother, wondering what he had brought, "come on" Clarke said trying to get her to follow her back into the drop ship. Octavia broke out and walked towards Bellamy who stood behind a make shift gurney.
"Clarke what is it?" Anastasia asked pointing towards Bellamy with worried eyes as the gurney caught her attention. She knew that if it was animal they killed on the hunting trips, Clarke wouldn't be acting this way.
"Nothing, come on" Clarke said grabbing Anastasia's arm only for her to break out mere seconds later to hustle over to Octavia, who was being denied by her brother to see the mystery behind the tarp.
"Stop" Octavia said pushing pass Bellamy to kneel down. She gently folded back the flap of the tarp over to reveal, a dead blistered boy, who was a victim of the fog. Anastasia looked at it in horror, she didn't know him but she knew he died in pain. She felt sick looking at him in that state. Octavia broke down, as Anastasia watched biting her lip roughly trying hard not to get choked up.
"Atom" Octavia said teary eyed as Anastasia lended a hand on Octavia's back as she comforted her.
"There's nothing I could do" Bellamy retorted only to get shut down Octavia. She looked back down at Atom, before placing his jacket over his head as she stood up, Bellamy tried to reach out to her but she pushed him off.

"Don't" Octavia cried leaving the camp fire. Anastasia slowly followed behind, hearing parts of Murphy and Bellamy's conversation stopping when she heard Murphy utter.
"I tried to take him out but uptight chancellor and your psycho little sister..." his sentence was stopped abruptly.
"My what?! My what!?" She heard Bellamy yell
"Your little sister" Murphy replied with a fear laced voice.
"Yeah that's right, my little sister" Bellamy retorted roughly.
"Anastasia, are you coming?" Clarke asked, looking at Anastasia standing towards the drop ship at the end of the bonfire.
"Umm, Yeah" Anastasia replied following Clarke into the drop ship.
Finn started brewing the red seaweed the Clarke brought back in a pot with water to create some type of tea for Jasper.
"Anything happen while I was gone?" Clarke asked looking at Anastasia seated beside her.
"Murphy tried to kill Jasper, so nothing new" Monty replied sitting on the other side of Jasper, "Is it going to take any longer" Monty added bringing up the tea.
"I think it's ready" Finn replied as Clarke moved a cup near the water flittering some into the cup and bringing it up to Jasper's lips as he took a sip from the cup, draining the entire cup. Clarke went back for seconds, repeating.
"I'm really sorry about Atom"Clarke said bringing the cup back up to Jasper's lips looking towards Octavia's who was propping up Jasper's head.
"I guess we're going to have to get used to people dying here? Aren't we?" Octavia spoke, before releasing she was holding the head of a kid who was close to dying "but not you, you hear me? You're not allowed to die" Octavia said as a tear escaped her cheeks. Clarke set the cup aside after Jasper's second drink.
"That should be good enough, we should let him rest now" Clarke said walking out of the drop ship. Anastasia took Clarke's place holding Jasper's hand as Octavia gently applied a wet cloth to his head and around his neck.
"Anastasia" she heard an unnamed voice call for her, she turned around to see one of Murphy's goons standing at the top of the ladder.
"Tell Murphy he lost his shot" Octavia yelled at him, protecting Jasper.
"I'm here for Anastasia, Bellamy wants to see you in his tent" he said continuing back down the ladder.
"Why would your brother want to see me?" Anastasia turned to Octavia in confusion.
"I don't know, he'll do about anything nowadays apparently" Octavia uttered, "Go, i'll watch over him"
Anastasia stood up unwrapping Jasper's hands from her's as she headed towards the ladder and stepped down it till she got to the bottom of the drop ship. She headed out and got blow away by the cold drift of the wind blowing. She crossed her arms over each other and headed towards Bellamy's tent. It was barely lit besides a flashlight that he probably stole from the ship after landing. He was standing pacing around his tent, almost knocking into Anastasia when she arrived.
"You wanted to see me?" She questioned noticing that his tent didn't have the same heating as the drop ship. She shivered that same way she did outside, the night was definitely the coldest she had experience.
"How's Octavia?" He asked her worried, this was general concern.
"She's coping, and since Jasper is surviving, i think she'll be fine" Anastasia replied nodding trying to comfort him.
"I couldn't save him, he got trapped in the fog and i tried to go back but it already spread, and then i couldn't kill him so Clarke came and finished him off" Bellamy was spiraling, one thing after another kept on falling on him. He lost a friend and his sister hates him.
"Hey, it's okay" Anastasia said trying to force Bellamy to take a seat on his bed, to at least calm him down from his panic attack.
"He was begging to die, pleading for me to kill him, it was awful" he spoke out taking a seat upon his bed, pulling Anastasia next to him.
"Hey, there was nothing you could've done, people are going to die, the best thing you can do it make sure less people die" Anastasia said threading her fingers in and out of each other.
"How's Jasper?" Bellamy changed the subject clearing his throat.
"Fine, he's sleeping now but he got his medicine so he'll be fine" she answered nodding slowly, she felt uncomfortable in his tent maybe it was the fact that she had never completed small talk with him before.
"That's good, We need some good news nowadays" Bellamy replied following he nodding motion. His eyes drifted over to Anastasia as she continued to shiver in his tent. The weight on the bed shifted as Bellamy stood up walking across as he shuffled through his things, "Here" he turned back around handling her a jacket.
"Um thanks" she laughed slightly tucking her hair behind her ear, she took the jacket unfolding it before throwing it around her body, finding warmth again.
"Yeah no problem" Bellamy remarked running his fingers through his hair, "Can't have our doctor getting sick" he joked back.
"Speaking of which" Anastasia uttered standing up fully putting on the jacket, "I should be going, Jasper's going to wake up soon" Bellamy nodding at the girl as he watched her flip her hair from the confines of the flap of the jacket. Anastasia escaped from his tent and continued back to the drop ship.
where she was welcomed with a weak, "My savior" from an awake Jasper.
It's the first time she's heard him say something beside constant moans for awhile and she was brought to an instant smile.
"Thank you for not dying" Anastasia said smiling widely, "i don't think i could've taken that today"
"I'll try to not die tomorrow, too, if that's cool" Jasper replied smiling back.
"Oh hello" Jasper replied seeing Octavia in the corner bringing her to a laugh.
Seeing Jasper awake and talking was something they all needed from all the stress they finally got to relax with someone they've been waiting to talk to for a long time. Anastasia decided to stay with Jasper for night as did Octavia and Monty.
"Where'd you get the jacket from?" Octavia asked sitting down next to Anastasia on a side of a wall.
"Uh, your brother" Anastasia replied softly, looking down at the jacket wrapped around her body.
"Kind of a cheap bribe" she retorted with a huff.
"O', it's not like that" Anastasia shook her head at the girl, "He did try to save Atom, and Bellamy cares about you a lot" she added as Octavia's demeanor changed.
"I know" Octavia replied, as she leaned her head on Anastasia shoulder feeling the soft jacket upon her head, as both of the girls were quickly asleep.
