[ BOOK ONE ]
Sawyer Wesley fought to survive everyday of her life. On the Ark, it was either comply or die. To put it lightly, Sawyer was never one to throw in the towel. She did everything in her power to live in a world that awaited her death. And...

TENSION FILLED the Ark camp following the release of Carl Emerson, and not just between Sawyer, Clarke, and Abby. Everyone within the electrified space seemed on edge, waiting around for the retaliation that would undoubtably come from Mount Weather. After all, public declarations of war didn't really go without consequences.
But Sawyer couldn't bring herself to feel bad about causing it. They needed to keep the Mountain Men's attention on them. Bellamy was supposed to take out the acid fog and free the Grounders from their cages, meaning their eyes should be anywhere but inside their fortified walls.
Despite the inevitable threat from the mountain, Lexa decided to convene a council meeting with the leaders of the twelve Grounder clans, the separate groups of Grounders that coexisted together on Earth. They were to talk and come up with a plan of action against the Mountain Men. Something that never happened among their people, or so Sawyer heard, especially when it included their most untrustworthy and war-torn clans.
Hard to believe Sawyer and her people were the ones to cause such a monumental event. She just hoped that it helped save her friends and didn't come back to bite her in the ass.
Due to the new threat, and the outright assassination attempt on her life, Lexa thought it would be best if Sawyer were equipped night and day with her guard. She hated it, being followed everywhere because of the mere prospect someone might try to kill her. It made sense outside of the Ark camp, but within it's walls, the protection made her standout more than ever before. Nothing like a nearly seven foot tall Grounder as a shadow to turn some heads.
Sawyer tried to ignore said stares as she headed in the direction of Engineering. When Bellamy's first contacted them, he and Raven set up a schedule. Every three hours the Blake man would reach out to either give information or just check-in to let them know he was still alive. So far, he stuck to it. And with him, so did Sawyer and Clarke. No matter where they were, they would drop everything and seek out the radio to hear from Bellamy. They needed the reassurance, along with a break from declaring themselves in charge.
At least, Sawyer did. Although, Clarke didn't appear much better in the leadership department. The Griffin girl seemed just as frazzled and overwhelmed as she did. They were both responsible for saving their friends, taking down Mount Weather, and keeping the rest of their people in check. Safe to say they had a lot on their shoulders.
Sawyer strode into Engineering with her Grounder guard, Ryder, on her heels. She ignored him, for the most part, but he did give her insight into what to inspect with the council meeting later that day when she asked. He was nice enough, as much as a Grounder could be, and gave her space when she requested it. So far, she didn't despite being in his presence all the time.
