THE 100 IMAGINES

[BB] Earthbound.

You were on the ground before them. It was your home and they invaded it, you wouldn't let that go. Anya, your Warrior Commander had told you and some others to keep a close watch on them, as you had been her best warrior, she trusted you would make it back safely and unseen. You did as she wanted, you respected her judgement and if that meant that those Sky People were bad news, then they were, no questions asked.

     You and some of the other Grounders had prepared yourselves for the night watch. You had perched yourself somewhere high up in a tree slightly further away from where the others had gone, but close enough to see the camp the teenagers had set up. You had been checking over your weapons to make sure that if they were needed then you wouldn't have any problems. When you heard twigs snap from underneath your tree, you glanced down. Your body on high alert. You had slowly taken out your bow and arrows and positioned them in the direction of the sounds.

     "Don't shoot," a deep voice called out and you moved your body and bow to face them, your eyes had already adjusted to the darkness so you could see him. He had his hands up and appeared to be alone. What a dumb thing to do. He was tall, you could tell that from where you had been, despite being higher up than him. He had dark hair which appeared black due to the lack of light that only came from the moon, and he wore all black.

     You didn't reply, which made him slightly on edge, he must have thought you didn't understand him as you tightened your grip on your bow and pulled the string back a bit more.

     "I'm not here to fight you, just let me get back to my camp safely and we won't have a problem, okay?" Negotiation? Really? Who does he think he is? He landed in your land and expects to be let go unpunished. No. "Do you understand me tree climber?" Perfectly clear trespasser, perfectly clear.

     You weren't too far off the ground so it wouldn't have hurt you as you jumped down to the ground bow still in hand and aimed at him. He stepped back and his jaw fluttered slightly as he tilted his head. He was watching you like you were his prey. Now he could see you. The light had reflected onto your face. Your eyes had black makeup across them creating a mask and you wore a mouth guard so the majority of your face went unseen by him.

     "Please. Just don't shoot my people need me." So, he was the leader. Anya would be pleased if you brought him to her, his people would crumble and burn without him, and he would do the same. His right hand moved to his back and he took out a shiny silver metal object, what was it? He positioned it so it aimed at you, but what was it?

     "Let me go and I won't shoot you, got it, tree climber?" Shoot? With what? The metal block? You'd like to see him try.

     A loud echo screamed around the woods. He lowered his block and you did the same to your bow. From the corner of your eye, you could see him looking at you, up and down like prey. You ran off in the direction of the scream which led you further away from his camp and towards a small clearing in the woods. You heard footsteps, loud crunches in the dead leaves, following you. Their leader.

     You saw a young girl surrounded by Reapers. What were they doing out at this time? But more importantly, why so many at once?

     The young girl was crying and struggling to get away. The man following you stopped and gasped slightly at them and looked at you as you shot one of them in the head making him drop to the floor unmoving.

     Dead.

     The three others turned their attention to you and came running towards you, letting the girl hide behind a tree. You shot one more before one of the remaining two grabbed your bow and pushed you to the ground. You saw the man pushed to the floor as well and his block thrown from his reach. You grabbed the knife from your belt and jammed it into the Reapers neck. Blood flooded onto you and he dropped onto your body. You pushed him off and went to help the man. The Reaper was about to slam a rock onto his head when you pushed your body into him and you both fell to the side.
