The moment I began to regain consciousness I felt a lot of pain. Blinking my eyes open I instantly shut them seeing bright lights shining above my head. Finally peeking one eye open I got adjusted to the brightness enough where I attempted to move forward seeing I was inside a large metal dropship compared to the one I came down in two years ago.
Unfortunately the second I went to take a step forward my body was yanked backwards rather harshly making me nearly scream till I bit my lip. "Agh! - smart play using zip ties." Eyeing my wrists and ankles were held down on metal poles.
Shifting my gaze around the room I didn't see many shortcuts to escape. The hatch in the floor was shut and there were zero sharp objects I could use to snap my restraints so I was a sitting duck. My pack and weapons were laying on the opposite side of the room beside a makeshift chair. "We're smarter than you people think we are, grounder girl."
"Bellamy." I muttered barely above a whisper not hearing the metal hatch open and close before I noticed the boy with curly hair sitting a few feet away from me on the makeshift chair.
He pushed himself up to stand , coming to stand directly in front of me. "You're friend downstairs isn't much for talking. So I'm hoping you will be up to having a conversation with me. What's your name?"
"Cassio." I simply replied preferring to be called by a nickname Glass gave me then my full birth name the Ark had given me. "Yours is Bellamy, right?"
He sent me a slight glare. "You were listening in on our conversations weren't you. What did you find out about us hmm?"
"That they sent you down here like lab rats to die. You may look at us like we're the enemy who wants to kill you but you should consider the ones who put you all on this ship and dumped you down here just to save the place you came from. Doesn't sound like you're leaders care too much about anyone but themselves."
Bellamy lifted his head silently biting his lips as he took in the girls words before himself. In the few weeks they had been there he had declared the same philosophy to get the majority to remove their wristbands.
There was something about the way she said the words with such anger that he began contemplating if she was from the Ark or not, but he instantly pushed the crazy thought to the back of his mind.
"How many of you are there?" Bellamy asked me.
"12 different clans with over thousands upon thousands of grounders and only about 80 of you now. Is my math right?" I tilted my head to the side smirking until I heard a girls voice shouting from downstairs even though the metal hatch was shut.
"This is Raven Reyes. I- I'm from Mecha Station. I'm transmitting from the ground. The hundred are alive. Please, you need to get Doctor Abby Griffin. Doctor Abby Griffin. Now!"
My whole body stiffened up when I heard someone say her name. It had been a long time since I'd heard my mothers name. It sickened me to my stomach.
All that hate and pain coming back to the surface.
Bellamy saw my facial expression completely change. From where he was standing I appeared very pale and like I had seen or rather heard the name of a ghost. "You know someone down there don't you, grounder girl?"
"N - no I don't." I did the best lie I could.
Yet it was like he could see right through my facade now where he stomped over yanking me up from the ground. He firmly held me by my forearm with my hands still tied behind my back by zip ties. "You're lying and I'm going to find out why soon enough. Come on, let's get your ass down there." He pushed me down the ladder where I landed harshly on the harsh metal floor with half the group's attention on the radio and some of the others looking at me.
