Chapter 6: [Chapter —6]
Just as I was about done with the panther I watched as the other 100 all cheered as they munched at their portions of deer distributed by Bellamy and his goons.
Bellamy didn't do the whole get food for your wristband though this time, I knew he wanted to but since it was my kill he couldn't.
As I started taking out the Panthers intestines I felt a presence walking right behind me, smelling the air I found that it smelled like Octavia so I relaxed a bit.
" Ezekiel...right?" She said calling out to me as she sat down on my log and stared me down.
" The one and only, you Bellamy's sister huh?" I said with a raised brow.
" Yeah, so are you trained in this kind of stuff?" She asked looking at me.
" What kind of stuff?" I asked back.
" Hunting and using those weopons you brandish everywhere like you're trying to compensate for something." She said with a mischievous smirk on her face.
" 'Haha' really mature, and yes I am trained in Weopon handling as much as I could anyway back in the ark." I told her before staring at her with a smirk." And trust me, I'm not compensating for anything, junior down there is more than what you could handle." I quipped with a challenging grin.
" Oh yeah, you want to bet on that?" She asked looking at me defiantly.
" Heh slow your tits now, don't bet on something you won't be able to go through with." I said chuckling.
" And what makes you think I won't?" She asked frowning of which I just looked at her brother who had been watching us for a bit now.
" He doesn't control me!." She groaned out.
" Maybe, but he wouldn't allow it either way." I told her earning a pout from her which to be honest was a bit cute.
" Hey Quil." I called out to one of the boys that I had take care and cook my deer.
" Grab this and put it on the fire just like the deer." I told him.
" Sir." He said nodding before grabbing the panther helped out by another person.
" So Octavia, I heard you got injured while on your little expedition to Mt Weather, do you mind if I look at it?" I told her causing her to look at me with a raised brow, confused. " I know a couple things about medicine, I was gonna go help out Jasper anyway so come along."
Standing up I walked off and not long Octavia was behind me following.
We entered the dropship and then took the ladder up to the second floor.
*Loud Groans.*
Entering the room we were met with a groaning Jasper, Octavia walked over to him with concern clear in her eyes.
I nodded to Monty who was at the corner trying to rig a communication device to contact the ark using the wristbands that the others had taken off before.
Octavia hearing Jasper's groans looked back at me with a bit of hope.
" Can you help him?" She asked causing Monty to look at me two with some hope.
" Yeah but it'll use up some of my supplies." I told her frowning.
" Please Ezekiel, he helped me before...I can't just sit still knowing there's a way to help." She said begging.
Sighing to myself I looked back at her and nodded.
" Fine, I'll be back." I told her and went downstairs to a hidden area before taking out a bag in my inventory and then stuffing it with a dozen plants and herbs that had some medicinal properties.
Then I proceeded to get up to the second floor again finding Clarke alongside Octavia as she cleaned his wound.
As I entered Clarke looked at me with a bit of hope too.
" Octavia said that you have a way to help Jasper...." She pointedly asked.
" Yeah, I have some herbs that will stimulate his natural healing and relieve his pain." I told them as I put the bag down and looked around.
" I just need a bowl and some clean and preferably already boiled water." I told them, Clarke grabbed some stuff at the corner and gave them to me.
" Will these do?" She said giving me a couple wooden bowl with another bowl of hot water.
" Yeah these will be fine." I told her before sitting down next to Jasper, I took out a purple flower plant.
" That's poison sumac..." Clarke said recognising it.
" What are you gonna do with that?" Octavia asked watching as I took out some roots and leaves and put them in the bowl alongside the poison sumac.
" I'm making a mixture that will numb his pain and calm him down, or else we risk him going through shock or worse." I told them putting a little bit of water in the bowl before I started mashing the three into a dark purple mixture.
Then I put a bit more water inside and had the mixture become liquid.
" Get him to drink this." I told Clarke giving her the bowl as she did exactly that being helped by Octavia.
I focused on another mixture, I took the red seaweed and a bunch of others and mixed them in the right amount and started making a paste from it.
I then made two portions of it. With one I put more water and made a liquid of it and then gave it to Clarke.
" Let him drink this." I told her earning a nod from them as they had the unconscious Jasper drink the liquid with just a slight choke being his reaction.
" What'll this do?" Asked Clarke.
" It'll promote healing by a good amount and this..." I said holding up my paste mixture." Will help with the wound and get rid of any infection."
And with that I spread a good amount of the paste on his wound which had already been cauterized.
" And now we wait...." I told them as I sat down and lay on some sort of makeshift blanket.
" Hey listen....he's not screaming anymore." Octavia said with a happy smile.
" I guess the pain reliever mixture is working then." I said with a smile, noticing Clarke staring at me I raised an eyebrow looking at her.
" What?" I asked causing Octavia to notice Clarke staring at me, this caused her to slightly frown.
" How do you know so much?" She asked making me shrugg before I began thinking of some bullshit to cover my ass.
" The plants even if they have mutated after the bombs hit and radiation after still the same, a bit more powerful yes but still the same." I told them." I learnt a lot from that stash of books I found back in the arks forbidden sections."
To this Clarke looked at the ground contemplating something before looking back at me.
" Teach me." She said making me raise an eyebrow.
" You said in your speech an hour ago that you'd be teaching everyone how to survive and be useful to the camp so please, teach me." She said making me pause.
