Grounder | An Anya Love Story

11

*Recap*
Once everyone was gone she walked me down to my room making small talk here and there, she bid me a goodnight and walked away. Once in my room I really looked around it before going to sleep.

*Marias POV*

Time passed quickly while I was in Polis, slowly my skills became more natural and I didnt need as much help as I did when I first got here. We would only speak in Trigedaslang and I would train with the nightbloods, which was considered a big honor for some reason they havent told me yet. Archer and Urke quickly became some of the closest people besides Lexa here to me, they taught me how to properly hunt amd finially decided that it was time for me to go by myself. Much to Lexas displeasure but she never argued with anyone with how they taught me.
So that brings me here on my first hunt by myself. Archer and Urke told me to get a deer and return back to Polis with it. So thats what I am doing now looking for a deer.
I take the path that lead me to the dropship. Looking around I see all the burned bodies, when I hear the click of a bullet entering the chamber.
"Grounder you will drop your weapon and turn around slowly. Do you understand." I stop and slowly put down my bow turning around so they can see me. There was three of them all in hazmat suits with their guns pointed at me.
"I want no harm. Im just looking for some food." I put my hands up.
"You're from Polis. You are to come with us on the Presidents order. Hopper grab her." The man to my left went to grab me.
'Ok Maria you have to act fast what would Lexa do in this situation.' With that I grabbed the mans arm twisting is till I heard that satisfying snap, dropping like a log I moved to the man on my right. Running towards him I kick him in the face before I feel something hit me. I look down "Is that a tranquilizer dart?" And with that everything went black.

I woke up in a bed in a plain white room, my clothes were switched and my hair was down. Looking around the room it looked like a hospital room from the Arc. Then I saw it a person through the door, quickly I rushed over to get a bettter look and started banging on the door.
The figured qalked back over to me. "Maria?"
Clarke. It was Clarke Griffin I thought she was dead.
"Maria what are you doing in there? How did you get here? Where have you been?"
"Clarke stop. Get me out of here. Please." She looks at me and gives me a small nod.
"I will be right back." I watch as she leaves down the hallway and I go and sit back on the bed. It was about 15 minutes before she came back with an old man.
"Maria it looks like you are cleared from quarantine. My name is President Wallace, I would love if you would join us for dinner." He hands me a pair of clothes. "Get dressed and Clarke will show you the way to the dinning hall." With that he turns and leave. I make sure he is out a ear shot before I turn to Clarke.
"You need to get me out of here Lexa will be looking for me and I still need to find Anya."
She stops and takes a deep breath. "I know where Anya is and Im working on a way out of here. Where have you been I havent seen you since the fight. "
"Ive been with the grounders and I need to get back to them. I can help you get out but we need to get Anya first."
She nods and looks deep in thought. "Ok lets go." With that she grabs my hand and pulls me down the hall. "They are usuing the grounders blood to heal radiation wounds. They have a whole farm of them. We go up get Anya and leave." I nod as she takes twists and turns up to this room. "This is where they are being held. We are just here for Anya then we will come back for the rest a diffrent day." With that she opened the door to show a whole room full of cages each held a diffrent grounder. There was two hanging upside down with tubes connected into them with their blood flowing through them. Clarked grabbed my hand again snapping me out of my thoughts. "Come on she is this way." Again she pulled me behind her for a few minutes before she stopped infront of a cage.
I bend down to look at her. She looked so weak, malnourished, and just like she gas given up.
"Anya?" She looks up at me.
"Bants me kom die. (Leave me to die)" She tells me.
"Anya, Osir laik hir kom ge yu out. (We are here to get you out)" Clarke looked at me amazed.
"You know their language. When did you possibly learn that."
"While you were here I was with the Heda." Anyas head shot up. "She taught me alot, made me her second."
"You made it to the Heda. I knew she would help you. Now get me out of this cage." And that was all Anya had to say for Clarke to open up the cage door. As soon as the door was open Anya pulled me to her and kissed me like her life depended on it.
