Lillya:

                    A FEW MONTHS BEFORE:

It's an Ice Nation man and he seems to have the code written on his arm. "Lillya, what's going on?" I spit up blood and watch the man leave the room. I immediately try to push myself up with all my strength and look at the countdown he has set. I reach for the radio. "Raven, we got a problem. A Grounder set off the self-destruct sequence. He has the codes on his arm, you have to get them."  They seem to be running after the man. "How much time Lillya?" "Forty-five seconds, Raven."

"Lillya! Lillya, we got the code. Lillya, do you copy?" Her voice sounds full of fear, but I can hardly move because I'm losing a lot of blood.

„Lillya, do you copy?!"

My body aches and I can feel someone carrying me in their arms. Blood flows on my stab wounds and I can barely keep my eyes open. My heart stops when I hear a loud explosion. Raven. I'm so scared for Raven, but I can't keep my eyes open.

It's pretty dark and the only light coming into the room is from the small windows. I want to move, but I'm tied to a bed. What the- I try with all my might to free myself and break free of the restraints, but no chance. The door opens and I turn my head towards three people walking in. A woman and two men. "What the hell do you want from me?" The older woman just looks at me coldly.

She approaches much with slow steps and lifts up my shirt, showing the wounds that are now stitched up. "Can you see that? They're closed, but I can always open them again." As she says this, she presses against my wounds, making me cry out. "What do you want?" "Lillya kom Skikru. The girl who survives everything. They call you Gonaheda." I look at her with a questioning look. "If I kill you, I get your power." "Power?" My eyes widen as I don't understand what she means at all.

"If I have your power, the other 11 clans will respect and obey me." Suddenly I seem to realise and can finally place her clothes. "You're the queen of Ice Nation?" She nods and runs her hand over my bare. Belly, which makes me wince. "The slower I kill you, the more power I get.

Day 3:

I've been lying in bed for two days now. Cuts and burns all over my body. It hurts, but it's not so bad that it would kill me. My head hurts and I'm scared. Memories of Mount Weather come up and my head screams with thoughts.

Day 5:

I can hardly stand the pain any more. They push my head into the water for so long that I think I'm going to vomit and then they pull me up again. They press burning stones into my skin.

Day 17:

I'm going crazy. Everything hurts and I just want it to end, but according to the ritual I'm not allowed to die until day 20. As strange as it sounds, I wish it was already day 20. My Anger is rising and I want to kill everyone.

Day 19:

I was able to grab a knife that they left on the bed after torturing me. I managed to free myself with the last of my strength. I will kill them all. Kill kill kill kill.

If they think I'm Gonaheda I will give them Gonaheda.
