as it tore through the camp, most people found refuge in the drop ship, crowding up the space while Anastasia was trying to help Finn.
She had taken off his shirt with out disrupting the knife, and wrapped the shirt, after they drenched it in water, around his wound. That's all Anastasia could do just like Jasper's spear wound, she was never taught, or experienced anything like this working with Abby. Raven was still trying to patch herself through to the Ark.
The amount of people in drop ship wasn't only effecting Anastasia work but also Raven's as a hoard of people surrounded around her, questioning what she is doing. Clarke moved from each side checking in on Finn everyone once in awhile.
"How is he" Clarke asked checking on his wound.
"The same" Anastasia replied as Raven repeated the same phrase over and over. Clarke removed the shirt to check on his wound, but she quickly put it back.
"Calling Ark station, the 100 are alive" Raven said, slightly lying not mentioning the fallen ones of the 100, "can anyone hear me"
"This is a restrictive channel, who is this" played back from the radio statically. Anastasia perked up hearing a voice come back and so did the rest.
"This is Raven Reyes, I'm from Mecha Station" Raven responded relieved, "I'm transmitting from the ground, the 100 are alive" she said as Clarke loomed over her, "please you need to get Dr.Abby Griffin, Dr.Abby Griffin now" she said with urgency.
"Hang on Raven, we're trying to boost your signal" the man replied
"Raven?" Came from the radio a few seconds after the man answered, the voice was hard to distinguish but Clarke knew who it was right away, "Are you there?"
"Mom? Mom, it's me" Clarke answered taking over
"Clarke.." Abby breath out sounding relieved.
"Mom, we need you help, one of our people was stabbed by a grounded" Clarke said walking over to Finn.
"Clarke, this is the chancellor" Anastasia heard, but she knew it wasn't her father's voice, which means, Jaha was still alive, "are you saying they're survivors on the ground?" He asked
"Yes" Clarke replied, "the earth is survivable, we're not alone" Clarke then turned back to Finn, and instantly switched gears, "Mom, he's dying, the knife is still in his chest"
"Clarke is my son with you?" Jaha's voice came through, Anastasia teared up as Clarke broke the news to Jaha.
"I'm sorry, Wells, Wells is dead" Clarke could hardly make out.
"Clarke, what about my daughter?" Anastasia ears perked up again at the sound of her father's rough voice.
"She's here, Anastasia is here" Clarke said
"Ana? Can you take led on this, you'll know how to do everything i mention, and if you don't then i'm a terrible teacher" Abby asked causing Anastasia to laugh. Abby was the closest thing she had to a mom after her mom was floated, Anastasia used to live for the summers working with Abby, helping people, not controlling them.
"Of course" Anastasia replied standing up,
"Do you have anything to sterilize with?" Abby asked, through the radio.
"Monty's moonshine" Clarke whispered to Anastasia, as she nodded before telling Octavia to run out and get some.
"I'm gonna talk you through it step by step" Abby voice bombed through the radio.
"Clarke, get 5, too medic" the radio cracked
"Medic what?" Clarke questioned, "Raven, what's wrong?" Clarke asked, as Raven began to inspect the radio.

"It's not the radio" Raven replied, "it's the storm"
"Ana, Clarke, we need to hurry" Abby voice rushed. Octavia came running back in with a canister in both of her hands as she was drenched from the ran.
"Monty's moonshine?"Clarke questioned as Octavia sat down the two canisters.
"Pretty sure no germ cam survive it" Octavia jokes as Clarke and her began opening up the canisters.
"The storms getting worst" Clarke mentioned as another loud boom echoed through the forest, "Monroe, close the doors"
"We still have people out there" Monroe replied.
"Monty and Jasper still aren't back yet" Octavia uttered
"Neither is Bellamy" Anastasia added.
"They'll find somewhere to ride it out" Clarke said trying to comfort Octavia and Anastasia.
"One suture needle" Raven said holding up the very thin needle.
"Right" Anastasia replied as Raven sat in down on the table.
"I still need something to close the wound" Anastasia replied.
"I saw some wire on the second level" Octavia said done with mixing up the moonshine, "i use it for the tents"
"Let's see it" Clarke replied as Octavia headed upstairs
"Stay away from the blue wires that run through the ceiling, i rigged it to the solar cells in the roof" Raven warned, getting a slight nod from Octavia, "that means they're hot" she clarified, "you got that?"
"Yeah, i got that" Octavia replied heading up the ladder.
"Tell me you can do this" Raven stated looking at Anastasia, she didn't get the chance to answer before some shouted
"Hey they're back"
"Bellamy" Octavia said climbing back down the stairs as he walked through the blowing cover. Monty and Jasper came in second carrying the grounder that recently haunted Anastasia's life.
"What they hell are you doing?" Octavia questioned as the grounder dropped to the ground, knocked out cold, with a ripped cloth over his eyes to simulate a blindfold.
"It's time to get answers" Bellamy replied
"You mean revenge" Octavia bit back
"I mean intel, get him upstairs" He said as some of his minions picked the grounder up.
"Bellamy, she's right" Clarke added
"Ana, Clarke, honey, we're ready" Abby voice said threw the radio, "can you hear me?" Clarke stepped away to answer her mom, But Anastasia stepped up.
"Look, this is not who we are" she said to Bellamy.
"Ana?" Abby voice questioned through the radio
"It is now" Bellamy said, as he moved past Anastasia, while his minions carried the grounder up much to Octavia's objection, she followed them up.
"Ana?" She heard Abby's voice questioned again.
"Yeah I'm here" Anastasia replied watching Octavia disappear up the ladder. She turned towards Finn, as Clarke poured moonshine all over her hands.
"Can you tell me where the knife is?" Abby asked, Anastasia touched his stomach tying to feel for his rib cage to count it.
"The blade is at a sharp upward angle, between the sixth and seventh ribs" Anastasia replied
"Ok, how deep?" Abby questioned
"I—I can't tell how deep it goes " Anastasia stuttered as she felt the sweat already began.
"That's alright, just don't remove the knife yet" she answered
"Hey, here" Clarke said handing Raven some moonshine, "sterilize your hands", Raven took the moonshine, and swigged it before pouring it over her hands slamming it down on the table. Raven made a bitter face as it went down.
"Clarke, Ana, do you see any fluid" Abby asked, Anastasia got distracted as two guys started fighting each other. She watched one of the guys bump into one of the canisters of moonshine, knocking it over.

"Hey, Clear the room" Clarke said to Raven.
"Everyone, upstairs, now!" Raven yelled, as they began to flock up the ladder, "Let's go" As soon as the room was clear, Raven was back at Finn side. She laid a hand on his head, "he feels a little warm" she added.
"Ok, that's alright, fever sometimes accompanies trauma" Ms.Griffin replied, "I need you to tell me if there is any fluid leaking from the wound?"
"Uh no" Clarke answered looking at the wound. The only liquid was the blood that had previously leaked out.
"That's good" Abby voice spoke, "actually really good, he got lucky"
"Hear that? You're lucky" Raven said comforting Finn. Anastasia spent the last ten minutes explaining the condition that Finn was in, that was the easy part, but then Abby started explaining to Anastasia how to pull out the knife, sometimes she's never done before.
"Firm grip on the knife" Abby spoke in a somewhat calming voice but nothing was really calming with the static coming through,"You're gonna need to angle it upward and to the left very slightly to the left as it exits the ribcage"
"How slightly?" Anastasia asked concerned
"3 mili—" was all she heard before it cut out.
"What was that?" Clarke asked, "you dropped out"
"3 millimeters" Abby said again, "got it?"
"Yeah" Anastasia replied worried, she took a deep breath, and then another trying to calm herself down. As she held the life of someone in her hands while two people that love him stand before her.
"Here it goes" Anastasia said as she gripped the knife again.
"Steady hand, Anastasia" Abby said, "you've assisted me on tricker procedures than this, and once that knife is out, the hard part it over"
"Extracting now" Anastasia spoke as she began to pull the knife. He started to move as Raven shouted
"He's waking up!" Raven shouted as she reached to hold him down by his neck.
"Hold him still!" Anastasia shouted as she continuing pulling on the knife, Clarke ran to hold his bottom part down.
"Finn, i'm gonna get that knife out of you" Anastasia replied as she continued pulling on the knife
"Good plan" he replied moaning.
"Finn, you can't move" Clarke added, "you got it?"
"Uhh" Finn moaned in agreement
"Nice and slow, Ana" Abby voice said through the radio. Anastasia began pulling as most of the knife started to come out.
"Almost got it" Anastasia spoke, as she began to see the end, but then the drop ship began to shake causing everything and everybody to move, which made stillness very hard to come by.
"Hold him still!" Anastasia stress-yelled at the two girls as she tried to find some grip to steady her hand, she continued pulling slowly until the drop ship shook greatly causing her to rip it out as Finn flew to the flow, along with Raven and Clarke.
"Ana? Clarke? What's happening?" Abby voice yelled, "Can you hear us?" "Clarke?"
"It's out" Raven replied, "she did it"
"That's great!" Abby voice said, "now you just need to stitch it up"
"Okay" Anastasia grabbed the wire that Octavia retrieved before heading back upstairs to watch her brother, and the thin needle, as Raven and Clarke helped get Finn back on the table. Anastasia used the rest of the moonshine to resterilize the needle and her hands as she set the grounder's knife aside. She began weaving the thread through the wound getting a few hisses from Finn every once and awhile.
"Okay" Anastasia said moving the last piece of wire through, "I'm done"
"Good" Abby answered, "do you have anything to cover the wound?"
"We'll make do, like always" Clarke answered
"Should he be this pale?" Raven asked looking at her boyfriend, "warm too?"
"He's lost a lot of blood, Raven, but if your boyfriend's anywhere near as tough as you, i'm sure he'll be fine" Abby answered, as Raven smiled, grabbing his hand.
"Wait mom, she's right" Clarke replied touching Finn, "he's feverish, and his breathing's uneven"
"You need to give him some time to recover" Abby replied, "let me know if anything get's worst, but i think, i think he might just be out of the woods"
"Well down here they're nothing but woods" Clarke replied
"I need a break" Clarke replied
"Clarke? Clarke wait" Abby said, "Raven, Ana could you give us a few minutes?"
"Yeah, sure" they both replied as Anastasia began to walk away. To be honest she also needed a break, something to clear her mind.
"No, no, stay with Finn" Clarke said walking up the ladder.
"I'll go with her, Abby" Anastasia said following her up after. Clarke opened the latched door to the top of the drop ship, where Bellamy took the the grounder.
"Get the hell out of my way, Miller" Clarke said to the boy who stood in front of her denying access to anywhere other than the latched door, that Anastasia was stepping out of.
"Let them through" Bellamy responded, as Miller stepped out of the way.
"Well, if he didn't hate us now, he does now" Anastasia said looking at him beaten and blooded mostly from his mouth.
"Who cares" Bellamy responded, "How's Finn"
"Alive" Anastasia answered, "his people will care, Bell, how long until they figure out where he is?, what happens when the do?, i mean when they come looking for him, they will, Bellamy"
"Relax, princess" he responded using the nickname she hates. "No one saw us take him, he was chained up the entire time, and thanks to the storm, we didn't see a soul on the way back, okay, in case you missed it, his people were already killing us, how many more of our people need to die before you realize we're fighting a war!"
"We're not soldiers, Bellamy" Clarke butted in,"Look at him, we can't win" Clarke chirped up.
"we can't win, you're right if we don't fight" Bellamy stated. Raven rushed up the ladder, she looked stressed and worried.
"Clarke, Anastasia, he's seizing!" Raven shouted as she rushed down the ladder.
"On my way!" Clarke shouted racing back down, she stopped "Ana?"
"Coming, i'll be right there" Anastasia said watching Clarke go down.
"I know why you're doing this Bellamy, but in case you forgot, I was the one kidnapped by him, me and your sister, and we're fine, so maybe he isn't the enemy you think he is" Anastasia said before walking to the ladder walking down it, to see Clarke and Raven frantically looking at Finn as he seizes.
"They radio is down! Ana!" Clarke screamed, "what are we supposed to do!?"
