as i watch Bellamy and Lincoln throw punches, i study their movements. I've been training more to distract myself from my exhaustion. Lincoln flips him on his back and stops his fist from connecting with Bellamy's face. "he had me, but he was too aggressive." Lincoln turns to us as he speaks.
"whatever you say" Bellamy pulls his shirt over his head, and we chuckle.
"leaving so soon?" lincoln asks,
"mapping run. sector 7. Artemis, lets get this over with, we have to go."
i chuckle and grab the guard jacket from the bag, walking towards lincoln. i hold it out to him, "the council wants you to have this."
Lincoln turns to bell, "I'm Trikru"
"a uniform doesn't change that." he states, "this is our home now, Lincoln. we fought for it." Bellamy says, turning to the others, "to many of our friends died for it. on the ark, the uniform meant something different. down here, it means what we make it mean. together."
"Octavia will understand that eventually. Artemis, lets go" i grab shirt and walk over to bell. "pair up and fight, now!" Lincoln calls, catching us before we walk out, "sector 7? that puts you right on the ice nation border."
"we know" i say, before Bellamy.
"just because Azgeda is part of the collation, doesn't mean they respect the cease fire. i should be on that scout."
"i wish. we all do. but until the commander agrees to lift the kill order on you, your more trouble than your worth." Bellamy gestures his head to the door, and i follow him out of the room.
we walk down the hall, leading towards Kane's room, Bell knocks on the door before walking in. we walk in, to see Kane with a finger on his lips, "this is the first sleep the chancellors had in two days." he says, pointing at the sleeping Abby on the couch.
"then i'll be quick. we're going into sector seven. i think we should arm the entire unit." Bellamy says,
"permission granted, but the rules of engagement still apply. nonlethal response." bell shakes his head at kanes words, "copy that" he gestures for me to head out of the room, and i do.
i walk down into the mecha room, the doors open infront and close behind me as i walk in. i look up to see monty sitting on a table. "monty, you ready?"
"i am... he's not."
i look down to see my boyfriend sprawled out on the ground, probably drunk- no scratch that, definitely drunk. i can smell the moonshine from here. i walk over to him, with monty beside me.
"what should we do?" he asks,
"i think we should... leave him this time.." i trailed off, as it started to sound more like a question.
"i thought he was getting better, art."
"me- me too. i guess not- i dont know, i mean i havent had my eyes on him all day everyday, but.. i thought i was helping..."
"artemus, he needs this."
i stare at the boy i love and sigh, "yeah- yeah, your probably right. help me get him up." i get closer to jasper and we pull him to his feet, by his arms, then wrap his arms around our shoulders and walk him down the ramp towards the rover. bellamy coming down, a few moments later. he notices us, but then notices gina and walks over to her.
bellamy comes back over to us, and throws the bag on the rover, "hey! watch it!" comes from under it, and raven rolls out. bell throws a gun to miller, then throws one to me. "whats the point if we cant shoot em'?" miller asks, sarcastically.
