Baby - Bellamy Blake

FIFTY - TWO

•••

After leaving Tsing in the elevator, the forty-five kids all ran to the mess hall where Jasper began to order everyone around. Freya sat at one of the tables they hadn't placed by the door, running her hands through her hair and gripping her roots.

" Jasper, where do you want this? " Freya heard Miller ask and just knew he had a chair in his hand.

" Put it here. Over the weak spots to make sure they don't get in. We took the level, but now we need to hold it. They will be coming and we need to be ready. " Jasper ordered, making Freya turn her head and watch him lead a bunch of deliquents. " Harper, get some glasses from the kitchen, fill them with water, big as you can find. "

" Watch out," Fox called as she rushed around Jasper

" Good Fox, let's go get those hallway cameras next. " Jasper ordered.

" Nope, leave the hallway cameras. We need eyes out there. " Monty called out as he took walked around jasper, who then turned to follow Monty

" You can do that? " Jasper asked

" Have you met him? " Freya blurted out with a laugh before Monty pointed a hand gun in her direction." Where are we on the doors? "

" Meters are all disabled and short of the other stairway locks. This one's tricky, though. " Monty said to Freya when she walked up to them and broke the wire, extending a spark from the outlet

" That works, too. " Monty mumbled as he got back to work

" How long do you think we can hold them off?" Freya asked Monty and Jasper as quietly as she could to not alert the others.

" As long as we have to. " Jasper answered.

" What else can I do instead of sitting down all day? " Freya asked Monty with innocent eyes and a pout

" You can sharpen the axes and make sure all the guns are loaded." Monty suggested

" Thanks, Mont, you're the best, " Freya smiled before walking off to the weapon piles.

There, she began to pick up the gun the guns and check each magazine. Her mind was going back to Bellamy and how his gaze was longing for her. How each fiber in her body was screaming out for him, yet he was too far from reach.

During her mindless thoughts, her eyes drifted to a box of acid bottles that the cleaners would use to clean the floors with if someone was killed there. Freya knew that because that was what they used on the Ark.

Her eyes then went to the bullets in her hand, and her eyes widened. If she could remove the gunpowder and replace it with the acid, it would create a gas. Shooting the gas at the target would make the gas enter their bloodstream and slow them down for the others to kill.

It was risky with her being pregnant, though. If she were to inhale the said gas, it could have its own side effect for her and the baby.

Reaching into a toolbox, Freya grabbed two things of pliers. Remembering how Raven did it back at camp, she gripped the bullet shell with one plier and the blunt end with the other plier. Slowly, they pulled the bullets apart and let the gunpowder fall on the floor.

" What are you doing! " Miller rushed over and grabbed the pliers from Freya.

" I'm working. What are you doing?" Freya snapped as she pulled gloves onto her hands. Miller looked at her in confusion as she grabbed the acid bottles

" Okay, but what are you doing? " Miller asked again as he let Freya take the bullet from his hands and hold a bottle of acid with her other hand

" I'm making a gas," Freya answered. She then poured enough acid into the bullet with steady hands but left enough room for the acid to evaporate into the gas. " If I shoot the bullet at a guard and it penetrates their bloodstream, it will slow them down and give enough time for you guys to kill them."

" Fucking impressive " Miller smiled as he watched Freya put the blunt end of the bullet back on by using the pliers to clamp them together.

" Just a little science " Freya smiled as she held the bullet up " Another possibility is that it won't produce a gas, instead it will penetrate the skin and spread the acid through the blood, killing the person "

" Wow," Miller smiled as he took the bullet into his own hand and observed it. " Science freak." The two laughed

" Wait a second, some of them aren't wearing hazmat suits. " Montys voice broke the twos laughter as they looked over their shoulders at Monty and Jasper

" What's that mean? " Miller asked

" It means they're cured. The marrow treatments worked. " Jasper answered solemly. Freya picked up a magazine and placed the bullet she made at the top

" Get this down! " Everyone jumped at the voice. Freya pocketed the magazine and placed the gun beside her. Gas bombs them came flying into the room.

" Get ready! " Jasper called. As everyone began to put the gas bombs into the buckets of water, Freya began to set her small area up for her part of the attack

" Give it up! " Emerson called. After the bombs were diffused in the water, everyone laid down next to a reachable weapon. 

" Take it down! " Soon, the barricade was being pulled down.  As the guards filled the room, Freyas hand gripped the handle of her gun

" NOW! " With jaspers yell, everyone stood up. Freya picked up the gun, and in seconds hand the magazine into the gun. She was quick to stand and shoot the weapon at a guard. Just like she had assumed, a yellow gas came from the wound, and the guard began to stumble.

With a satisfied smile, she then shot the gun again, letting a regular bullet hit the guards forhead, killing him.

" Retreat! Retreat! " Emerson yelled as he backed up out the door. Freya smiled as she dropped the gun to the floor

" We did it! Seal the barricade! " Jasper yelled. While everyone began to reseal the doorway, the four of them heard a yell from the tablet

" Jasper! You promised! " Fox screamed, and Freya instantly looked to Jasper

" Fox! No! NO! " Jasper screamed as he held the tablet.

" She'll be ok. " Miller hugged Jasper, but his eyes were glues to a guard that was still alive

" Jasp- " She jumped when jasper swung the axe, hitting the guard one last time and killing him

" I promised her. " Jasper mumbled with tears in his eyes.

How bad ass was that? Yes, I did my research on acid and metals combining. And yes, it does make a gas, which, when entered the bloodstream, confuses the person and creates a nausea sensation.

I'll try to post soon!
