[Madisons POV]

This was it.

All of Wonkru was gathered and tucked right behind a gorge, the one we would enter the village from to take it while Echo and her group distracted the prisoners.

This was a plan I liked, it meant nobody had to die.

Leading the entire army were me, Octavia, and Bellamy, right behind us Gaia, Indra, and Miller.

My people, my responsibility.

"Two pillboxes, just like Echo said," Bellamy says as he looks through the scope of his gun. In the distance, there were two pillboxes and I could slightly see the gunners move out considering there were gunshots being heard from Echo and her groups location.

"That's our signal. It's working. They're moving out," I announce and look at everyone around me nodding.

Octavia and I start walking and leading the army through the gorge.

War is here.

-

Each step was one closer to getting home. To Shallow Valley.

In between Octavia and I in front of the army was Ethan, Octavia's second and our most promising novitiate.

"Jaha would be proud of you, Ethan," I hear Octavia say to him with a sense of pride, and I look down at him smiling.

That smile quickly turns into a face of shock however when the boy I was looking at forms a hole through his forehead oozing red blood, then quickly falling onto the ground.

He got shot.

Octavia seems in a longer state of shock and so I quickly command, "Attack!"

We all aim our guns and start shooting, but the Eligius IV prisoners had so much more gunfire and weapons, it was like they were firing from right, left, up, and down.

"O, you should be covered," Bellamy yells trying to protect his sister.

We keep trying to shoot, but without even looking, I can feel members of Wonkru falling all around me.

"Stay low. Stand your ground!" Octavia demands, but is her request is quickly overthrown when Brell yells,

"Retreat! Back to the bunker!"

"No! Advance! It's the only way!" Octavia retaliates, but it was too late, many members had already begun fleeing back.

"O! O, it's the only way. We go back, or we find another--" Bellamy pleads but I quickly cut him off,

"Shh!" I turn my head to the sound I had heard before, the sound of the Sonic Cannon.

"Run!" I croak out before the cannon fires directly at us throwing us up into the air flying backwards and I land my head on the ground with a thud before everything goes black.

--

"O, don't move. I said, don't move. The second we move, we're dead. Get down," I hear a voice say but the voice feels so far away. 

My entire body felt numb and my ears were ringing.

"This is your fault."

That was Octavia's voice. I know it like the back of my hand.

Okay, okay, so Bellamy and Octavia are alive too.

I crane my neck sideway sand see them lying right next to me,

"We are not doing this now. Judging by the number of dead, some of your army must have made it back to the wasteland. They won't last long without food or water," Bellamy explains whispering considering the prisoners are probably still on the lookout for our people to shoot them.
