Fears on Fire

Chapter Twenty-Seven

Bellamy and I snuck through the halls of Mount Weather's facility, hand in hand. As we passed hallways I could hear the walkie's of the soldiers speaking about Bellamy and I. We approached the door where Hilda and Echo were. I opened the door, we snuck into the room. I looked around to make sure there were no doctors or soldiers roaming the sections of the room. "All clear," I said to Bellamy.

He nodded and walked ahead of me, I looked around to try and find the keys. I looked through the cabinets, tables and different drawers. I found the the keys in one of the drawers. I grabbed one of them and handed it to Bellamy. I rushed down the middle of the path in between the cages, looking for Hilda.

I smiled once I found her huddled in the corner of the cold cage. She looked at me and smiled at the sight of me. "Y/N," Hilda said, "Where were you?" I smiled and grabbed the key, I inserted the key into the lock. I heard a clicking sound once the cage was unlocked. "Saving your ass," I replied. Hilda broke into a smile and pushed the door out. "What about your friends?" she asked. "Well, theirs too," I added. I put my arm around her shoulders, helping her out of the cage. "Come on," I said and motioned her to follow me.

The two of us approached Bellamy and Echo, they stood side by side. Echo looked at Hilda and smiled uncontrollably. Echo wrapped her arms around Hilda, not wanting to let go of her. Echo soon released her friend and turned to me to give me thankful smile. I grinned in response and looked back at Bellamy. "We need you two to help us, get them ready to fight," Bellamy said, "Can you do that?" The two Grounders nodded in response, I handed Hilda the keys and motioned for her to help her people out.

"Okay," Echo sighed, "How do we do this?" Hilda walked down the hallway, starting to unlock the cages. "There's an army outside going for the main door," I replied, "When they get it open all hell will break loose. That is the signal for our friends to come here, and then-"  My sentence was cut off by a man on the PA speaking loudly.

"My fellow citizens, this is your president speaking," Cage said, "I have news to share with you, that will change our lives forever. For 97 years, Mount Weather has been our home." I scoffed and rolled my eyes at the little shit that was speaking into the PA. "It's kept us alive, but it has also held us captive. Most of us have made peace with what we've had to do to survive. We've done these things for one reason... so that our people could someday return to the ground. That day is today," Cage continued.

"He's going public," I mumbled, "Hilda!"

"Before my friend Lorelei Tsing was murdered by the outsiders still at large in this mountain, she found a cure. It was in their bone marrow," Cage finished his stupid ass speech. Hilda turned her head to me and walked over to me, Echo and Bellamy. "We'll be right back," I said, Bellamy grabbed my hand and led me to the door.

"Where are you two going?" Echo asked, standing in front of Bellamy and I. "He's trying to get his people to turn to each other," Bellamy said, "They'll find our friends. We have to bring them here, now. I'll send them in groups." I looked at Bellamy and nodded in agreement, I then looked at Hilda then Echo. "You get your people ready to go, but you two need to wait for us, do you understand?" I added, raising my eyebrows. "Thank you," Echo said.

"Be safe," Hilda said, "This place is filled with bitches." I chuckled, nodding in agreement. "I think we've already figured that out," I responded. "Go," Echo said, motioning us to leave. Bellamy grabbed my arm again, we left our new two friends behind.

We crawled through yet another air vent, my hands in knees were beginning to grow tired of climbing through these vents. The two of us heard a commotion on the outside of the air vent. I looked through the little slits, finding a soldier arguing with Vincent. Our friends were being held by chains as restraints. I grabbed my gun and shot the guard that held Miller. I kicked the top of the vent off, I hopped out and slipped my weapon into it's holster. Bellamy hopped out from behind me. He grabbed the top and popped it back into place.
