We crouch down at our post besides Miller and Harper, both armed with guns and myself and Octavia with swords, waiting and watching for grounders to come or for Bellamy to give an order. "All foxholes, listen up." Bellamy's voice chimes through the radio and we all listen carefully. "Keep your eyes and ears open. Inflict casualties, as many as possible. You can hold them off long enough to make them turn back. That's the plan." He announces, cutting off the line.
"We should get out there." I inform Octavia who nods as she rises to her feet. "Hey, you two stay put." Miller orders but I roll my eyes at him because he knows we won't do that. "Whatever Miller." I call back as myself and Octavia walk over to the wall and flip a part of it open, leaving the camp and watching out for grounders.
It quickly becomes night and no ones attacked, nor have any of the mine fields gone off. Only, all of a sudden, we hear a bang in the distance, jolting our heads up and making us rise to our feet in unison, from the tree we've been resting against. I spot bodies in the distance running left and right. "Don't die O." I say to my best friend, whilst I take my sword out. She grins at me before we both run towards the moving figures.
I spot one running infant of me and stop, throwing my sword which plunges into the grounders chest making me gasp. Looks like I can throw swords too, only difference is swords are much heavier. I run to get my sword only I'm kicked to the ground by someone behind me. I mange to turn onto my back and notice it's a grounder. They are about to stab me but their blade collides with the grass as I roll over, grabbing a knife and quickly stabbing it into their neck, rolling over before the body collides to the ground.
Unexpectedly, theres a loud eruption in the sky, forcing me to look up and nothing but the sounds of the ship falling out the sky. Only it's not a ship. It's the Ark. Maybe it broke apart after all life support failed and just rusted up, I assume. But I will mourn the dead after the war is over.
I take my knife out of the grounders neck and stuff it back in my thigh patch and grab my sword before running through the woods. I stop in step as I hear monkey callings from far away, which sound too humane to be actual monkeys. Probably the grounders cry, which is indubitably annoying and very screechy. I decide to ignore them, not wanting to feel interrogated.
I then notice Bellamy being tackled by a grounder. Octavia comes up from behind me as I run as fast as possible towards him, thrusting my sword into the grounders skull. Only, all of a sudden an arrow is shot towards me, which I duck from, only I realise it stopped meaning it hit something. I look up and see Octavia collapse, an arrow in her leg, meaning she followed me to Bellamy who catches her. "We need to get her out of here. Now." I tell Bellamy who nods as he carries his sister.
We stop by a tree and we all lay behind it, hiding from the fight commenting behind his between the grounders and another tribe whom I believe are called reapers.
