Warrior ‣ Bellamy Blake

Twenty-Six

Kinda short but it's great I promise.

Just because the doctor was dead didn't mean they were safe. If anything, the people in Mount Weather wanted them all dead since it seemed like they would never receive their bone marrow.

They were in the Level Five sitting room area blocking the doors with empty metal bedframes and anything they could find.

Aella and Miller carried another bed frame and Miller asked, "Jasper, where do you want this?"

He pointed to a spot in front of the door as he murmured, "Put it here. No weak spots. We need to make sure they don't get in."

"They won't," Aella assured before turning to address her people. "We took the level, but now we gotta hold it! They will be coming and we have to be prepared!"

Jasper looked at Harper and ordered, "Harper, get some pots from the kitchen. Fill them with water. As big as you can find, okay?"

"Got it," she responded.

"Watch out!" Fox shouted as she broke a security camera.

"Atta girl!" Aella praised. "Let's beat up some hallway cameras."

"Nope," Monty interrupted. "Leave the hallway cameras. We'll need eyes out there." He held up some sort of electronic device.

"You can do that?" Jasper asked in awe.

"Have you met me?"

"Where are we on the doors?" Aella asked.

"Elevators are all disabled, I shorted the other stairwell locks. This one is tricky, though."

"Fox! Come over and beat up this electronic box for me, please?"

The young girl came skipping over with her metal rod and beat her anger out of the electronic box.

"Thank you, sweetie."

"That works," Monty mumbled. 

Aella, Monty, and Jasper collectively did that odd handclap thing that looked cool and weird, but it was a show of friendship. The guys let Aella into the "handshake" not too long ago since, after everything, they were bonded for life.

"How long do you think we can hold them off?"

"As long as we have to, M," she responded, grabbing a couple of knives and handing them to her boys. "Arm up, everybody!"

It was the waiting game. Every person in the room was holding a knife or pole of some sort while their leader held the gun Bellamy gave her. 

When they heard a door explode and Monty showed the group the live footage on his cool little electronic device, they all took a warrior's stance, ready to fight.

"We're not ready for this," Fox said worriedly.

Aella held the girl's hand with her free one and promised, "I won't let anything happen to you, Fox. Okay?"

She nodded as the group collectively worried about their lives. The guards had started using a makeshift battering ram to get into the room, giving the delinquents enough time to prep their weapons.

When the doors opened, the guards threw in smoke bombs, but everyone managed to shove them into buckets of water that Harper got and played unconscious until Emerson figured it out.

Then they attacked.

Anyone with a knife or other form of melee weapon was stabbing a guard, and anyone with a gun was blindly shooting. It was chaos in its truest form erupting from each and every adolescent in the room fighting for their life.
