Earth's Echo (The 100)

The Commander

"Let me GO!" I screamed kicking and screaming as a pair of grounders dragged me along the forest. "Let me go, NOW!" I said yanking my one arm free, and I was quick enough to punch the one on my left square in the face.

However, the two grounders holding me were much bigger, and my punch barely fazed him, it did give him a bloody nose. It got him angry enough to haul back his arm and punch me straight in the gut. Bending over in pain, I whimpered. The man grabbed my arm again, and started pulling me.

"Why don't you just kill me?" I sobbed. I had no idea if my friends were alive, and the thought of them being slaughtered was enough to make me break down in tears. "Where are you taking me?"

"To our Commander." The one answered. It was the first time any of them had spoke to me.

"Why?" I asked scared at the thought of meeting the grounder Commander.

"She wants to meet the leader." The other responded.

"I'm not the leader, I'm the doctor." I countered. They didn't answer. "What does your commander plan on doing with me?" I asked hoping to keep them talking.

"We don't question the Commanders decisions, we only enforce them." He countered.

"Who is your Commander? Is it Anya?" I asked thinking back to when I talked with her on the bridge, I mean she seemed leaderish.

"Anya trained the Commander,"

"How young is she than?" I asked thinking Anya looked youngish, so the Commander must be pretty young too.

"She is 20," He said.

"20?!" I asked stumbling a bit with someone catching me. "How did she become a leader at such a young age?"

"You are a leader and you are young."

"I told you, I'm not the leader, Bellamy is, and the only reason he was the leader was because he was the oldest out of all us. This Commander is leading people like you, full grown men!" This was so perplexing to me. "She must be one hell of a leader."

"She is the reincarnation of the first Commander, the first one of us to unit all the 12 clans, and once that Commander died the 12 clans split, and once our Commander came of age, she took control and brought peace to the 12 clans, and lead us in the war against the Mountain Men."

"And this Commander asked for me?" I asked getting a bit terrified to meet this young leader.

"She asked us to bring her the leader of the Sky People. We took who we could, the 'Princess' escaped in that metal pod of yours, and the one you call Bellamy was no where to be found, so we took you."

I let out a sigh of relief to know that Clarke had made it in the drop ship, and I prayed that Bellamy had escaped along with Octavia. I was so scared that they were dead, and I had no way of knowing because I was being forcefully dragged to see some badass warrior queen.

"Do you know how the battle ended?" I asked hoping to hear something.

"Our job was to get the leader, not to fight." He snarled, "Now shut up and keep walking."

We walked for another three hours, and I was getting exhausted, but I didn't want to show any weakness by slowing down, so I trudged on ignoring the searing pain that radiated up through my body with each step. Finally I looked up to see a huge statue with vines surrounding it. "Woah," I exclaimed. We stopped and the leader started ruffling through his bag. "What's going on?"

Instead of answering, he pulled out a dirty piece of cloth and walked to me and started to blind fold me. "Is this really necessary?" I asked as darkness surrounded me. They didn't answer and they just pulled me along. I stumbled over roots and I would have face planted many times if they hadn't caught me.
