Atlantis

Chapter Seven

Faye followed Finn through the tunnels that he promised would let them out safely inside the camp.

Clarke came running towards Finn and jumped into his arms.

"what did you do?" She asked.

"I kicked the hornet's nest." 

"You brought the Reapers?" Clarke asked.

"I just bought us some times. How's Raven?" Finn said.

"She's not good." Clarke shook her head. "And the rockets aren't ready yet. Jasper's working on them now." Clarke led them to the dropship.

"Jasper?" Finn asked. "What's plan B?" 

"Jasper was plan B." Faye followed Clarke inside her ship. "Here." Clarke took off her jacket and handed it to Faye. "It might help you blend in." She offered.

"Thank you." Faye nodded.

Inside the ship Faye stuck close to Clarke and Finn.

"Clarke, they're taking down the gate." A boy said from the entrance. 

"Good because I did it...I think." A boy poked his head out from under the floor. The boy had shaggy black hair and an uncertain amount of nerve in his tone.

"We did it. All wires connected and ready." Another boy said from beside him. He had short cut brown hair, a small cut under his eye and dirt covering his face.

"I'm closing that door." The boy from the entrance warned.

"Wait! We've still got people out there." Clarke stopped him. "Bellamy's not back yet." Clarke ran outside and Finn followed.

Faye didn't know what to do so she stayed with the girl, Raven, and let her squeeze her hand however tightly she needed to.

When Clarke came back in, she placed her hand on a silver lever and pulled it up. Their door started to close, but not before someone jumped in.

Anya stood and removed her crossed blades. Everyone stood at attention with their weapons ready.

"Cole, now." Clarke said.

The boy with the cut looked down at a box in his hand and started flipping switches. When nothing happened he looked back up at Clarke. In frustration he flipped it a dozen times over.

"Anya, you can't win." Clarke told the Grounder woman but she still thought she could win with nothing but her skill and blades.

All the sky people beat the Trikru leader to the ground. Clarke tried everything she could to stop them while the two boys from under the floor tried everything they could to start the fires.

ONce they tried again the entire ship leaned and groaned.

If Faye had been standing she would have switched places with the boy, Cole, and would have been the one to fall on someone.

When the ship finally stopped shaking everyone stood. 

"Sorry." Cole apologized to the girl he had stumbled over.  He paused when he saw her unfamiliar face. "Who the hell-" He started.

Clarke opened the door when she was sure that it was safe to go out. 

Outside everything was burnt and dead. Charred black and white smoke were the only things that were in the camp now.

Faye left Raven's side to see the aftermath of the battle.

Faye couldn't hold back the small pain she felt. These warriors were part of Trikru, they were her people, but she stood aside while these invaders took their land and killed them all.

Fay was too distracted by the bodies that she didn't notice the small objects flying over the camp wall until pink smoke came out of them and filled their lungs.

Everyone fell to the ground, coughing and struggling to stay awake. 

"No." Faye groaned as she tried to keep her eyes open. She wouldn't go back. All her attempts at escape, her final escape, it couldn't all be for nothing.
