Wonkru ☣ Bellamy Blake [3]

Seperation Ritual

Since finding out about the body-snatching, the group was on edge. The rest would return in the morning and they would have to watch their movements. Nia had gone to sleep but with all the information they had discovered it didn't take long for Sheidheda to emerge. But instead of trying to convince her to attack the Primes, she was viewing his memories.

This lead to her waking up with a shout. One that startled Fox and Jade but Gaia was quick to enter and move them from Nia. Nia had began to recite a phrase in Trig while the occupants watched her communicate. Gaia watched her closely realizing who she must be talking to. It was her duty to navigate her commander through the Flame, to consul her about keeping from those who wish to do harm.

Nia had finished another phrase when she inhaled a breath and opened her eyes. Her priestess was first to talk with her.

"Heda, are you okay? Was it Sheidheda? How long have you been seeing him?" Gaia asked worried about how powerful Sheidheda was at controlling the Flame.

"It's fine, Gaia. I have everything handled." Nia stated simply only concerning Gaia more. Before more could be inquired, Nia stood and exited the room.

The priestess watched her leave as she tried to think of a solution. They would have to do a separation ritual before Sheidheda grew even stronger. If only she had known that the separation ritual was no longer an option because Sheidheda had already restrained the commanders.

It was morning when Nia found herself coming down from the roof. The team that had been learning about the radiation had just returned and were entering the bar.

"Family meeting." Echo said while taking a seat at the table where Murphy and Clarke. Tate quickly finding his way to Nia's side to stand guard. "Where's Bellamy?"

"Why? What's wrong?" Clarke asked.

"We ran into Jordan. Is it true?" Emori questioned what the boy had told them. "They're immortal."

"I'm sure he made it sound worse than it really is." Murphy tried to downplay the severity of the situation.

"They're murderers and body-snatchers. How much worse can it be? We're out of here." Raven listed before her and Echo stood to get ready to leave.

"Slow down. Where are we going to go?" Murphy stopped them before they could make a quick exit.

"Murphy's right. The plan doesn't change we stay and learn as much from them as we can so we can build our own compound. Bellamy's out scouting a location as we speak." Clarke informed making Nia look to her.

Her sudden change in addressing Murphy had been different once again. The day before she was calling him John. Now she was telling them that Bellamy was out scouting when no one knew he had left. And to top it off she was making the decision for them to stay.

"She wants your title. She thinks she is still in charge." A voice whispered in her mind.

"He left without informing me? Who idea was that?" Nia spoke staring right at Clarke.
