~Clarke's POV~

I watch the hall in front of me as I approach another corner. My gun clasped tightly in my hands and my pack strapped tightly to my back.

I watch ahead of me and listen carefully as two people round the corner, white lab coats falling to their knees. I watch as they both look to their clip boards and talk as they walk down the hall before turning, not seeing me behind the corner.

I release a breath and continue from where the people had just been. Their white lab coats making them look like doctors, or just like the people in Mount Weather, only interested in science and not human rights.

I slow down my steps and soon I am silent, something I had learnt from the wild, Lexa helped me prefect my technique, making me and shaping me to be the warrior I am today. She taught me love is weakness, she was wrong.

Love is strength.

I keep walking forward, my hair resting just above my padded shoulders and my finger on the trigger, I look up ahead and see the corner the doctors or inhabitants had just rounded. I take a deep breath and walk forwards, my steps quiet and my breaths even and shallow, not wanting to have them heavy and panicked.

I am seconds away from rounding the corner when I hear footsteps walking towards me, with nowhere to go there is only one option. I take a step out from behind the white corner and point the gun at the middle-aged man.

"Hands up." I say keeping my eyes locked on the man in front of me, a small bag by his side.

"Your, your." He mutters confused and scared.

"Shut it." I say and point the gun at his head. I watch as he nods and gulps before dropping his bag to the ground. I walk up to him and dig the gun into the back of his spine and lead him down the hall, now that I have one of them maybe I can have back one of mine.

"You're from the surface." He says and I push the gun closer to his skin. I don't pay attention to his loud footsteps or his muffled sighs until I can't take it anymore.

"Quiet down or I will blow your brains out." I try to say without my voice shaking, another skill I had picked up.

"What's it like?" He asks next. I am taken back by the question. Have these people not known about it being safe, the radiation to strong for them. Having no immunity to the radiation there for not being able to step out onto earth.

It's another Mount Weather.

Don't take any chances this time. I say to myself remembering my mistakes that lead to over 320 people being killed. I keep the man hostage as we pass down more halls, the white now a normal sight for my eyes, where it be lit by the lights above us or slightly dimmed while rounding corners only to walk down another hall filled with white.

I look up ahead and see steal doors I know all to well, an elevator. I walk towards it quickly and hit the arrow button pointing down quickly, being there is no up arrow. We wait a few seconds in silence until the ring of the elevator breaks it.

I step inside and the doors close. I look through the floors, all of them numbered. I look to the glowing button on the map and see it as floor 6, not as many floors as Mount Weather, almost half.

I look to the next floor and see that they go down until Floor Zero, I look to the floors, and without thinking hit floor five, the one bellow us. I press the gun harder into the man in front of me. and I hear him grunt.

I feel the elevator start to descend and I only hope that Bellamy is safe, an is not sitting in a freezer dead in this crazy place.

~Bellamy's POV~

The guards drag me down the hall my legs still numb and my lower back aching, a stinging sensation running through my bones, hitting my core. Whatever those small black boxes are, they pack a punch.

I look up from the ground and see a door ahead reading a simple 0 on it. Soon I'm being dragged through it. I look around at the beds and metal posts supporting what I assume is the concreate roof above us. I look to the people in it next.

All in medical gear and suits, one with a needle standing very close to a bed that I know can't be good. I struggle against the guards but they only hold me tighter as they haul me up onto the bed and strap down my arms and legs.

I rip at the restraints but they don't budge. I look to the red head now standing next to the bed looking down on me.

"Let, me, go." I say trying to warn him.

"If you are so valuable your little Wanheda will come and rescue you." He says smiling. I go to say something else when I feel a small pinch in my arm, I look to see a lady placing a needle into my fore arm, then I see my blood enter the tube.

I struggle against the restraint, the needle wobbling causing her to stop taking my blood and I watch as she looks up to me, her brown eyes cold not like they ones I know Octavia has full of warmth.

"Restraints tighter." She orders and the guards push down my arms and tightening the straps once again. As they move their hands away I see the finger and palm marks fade away.

I feel the needle being pulled out and my blood being taken away. I watch her place some on a small slide of glass before it is being placed under a microscope. I watch her adjust the nobs before her eyes go wide and she pulls back from it.

"Sir you need to see this." She says steeping back from the microscope to let red head have a look. I watch him look back to who I assume is a nurse before looking to me.

"You've been in space." He says steeping towards me. I look towards him not breaking eye contact. How does he know, what could my blood ever tell him that would assume I have been to space, even if I have and have lived there for half of my life.

"Your blood cells are nothing like ours, they have the answer to sending us to the surface." Says Red head looking back to the nurse with my blood in the needle. That's when it hits me. Monty and Echo never talked about it but Fox did.

I rescued her just before she was going to be used for bone marrow, she told me about it all, the treatments, the way Mount Weather would strap us down and use our bone marrow and blood for their own uses, getting them to the surface.

A bunker in the ground, surrounded by dirt. People trapped inside needing our blood to save them. Unable to get to the surface without it...

It's Mount Weather
