Trust [3] On Hold

3.17

Raven was worse than a reaper. Thrashing around like an untamed animal trying to follow whatever order that imaginary lady in her head wanted her to do.

Skylar didn't quite get the whole ALIE thing. She had a hard time wrapping her head around technology in the first place but now there was a chip that brainwashed people's pain away and made them obedient?

Skylar, Lincoln and Aden stayed outside to watch make sure no one was coming. From both sides of this playing field. Her people and Skaikru. "How long will she scream for? Won't she lose her voice or dislocate her arms and legs soon with all that thrashing around?" Aden asked making the two older ones look at him.

"I do not know Ad. From what I have gathered they are finding away to get the chip
Out of her head." She stated as Murphy came outside. The boy looked at the three grounders.

"Look thought you just wanted to know that you ex and the other wanna leaders are having a gathering and planning to spilt up leaving Monty alone." Murphy stated making Skylar stand up.

Octavia ran after Murphy. "You weren't suppose to be spying." She said as she finally reached them.

"And what were you doing sweet heart? Sharpening your sword for the fiftieth time right next to the door?" Murphy questioned Octavia who flicked him off.

"Octavia, Linc keep Aden safe. Murphy... don't piss anyone off while I am gone." Skylar sighed and Murphy scoffed crossing his arms. Skylar walked off into the trading post.

She felt an arm grab her and pull her back. She looked behind her to see the ravenette shaking her head. "No I will go. You are needed here. You are the only person I trust to keep everyone in line." Octavia stated as Lincoln joined her side.

"I am not staying somewhere with the people that killed 300 of my people that I sent there to protect them!" Skylar seethed out causing Lincoln to look at her.

"Those people and the people here are different and you know that. Monty, Jasper, Kane, me. We would never do that to those innocent lives. Skylar I know Lexa's death has changed you but do not forget the Skylar who allowed herself to see between right and wrong." Lincoln stated.

Skylar looked down at her hands that were white knuckles and bruised to no end. "The last time I forgave someone they turned around and massacred my people. I do see what's right and wrong but I also know when I need to throw in the towel..." She paused looking between the two.

"You guys go protect Monty. I will stay to make sure everything is protected and secure... but I will not forgive anyone for their past actions." Everyone around them besides Aden knew who she was talking about.

Bellamy.

Aden didn't even know about Bellamy until tonight. Skylar hated talking about him. Because the story started off rough and ended horribly.

Lincoln nodded placing his hand on the small of Octavia's back to rush to Monty's rover before he left.

"Hmm guess you are stuck with me and the Kid then." Murphy stated as he threw his arm around the kid. Skylar laughed ever so softly and shook her head.

"You are an absolute idiot, John." Skylar stated making Murphy Shrug.

"But I'm your Idiot." He smirked and Skylar smacked his arm ready to continue this battle but Raven's screams cut her off. "Stay with Aden." Skylar declares before running off.

Once she got in the room she helped the person next to her hold Raven's arms down. "She's gonna bleed to death." She heard Clarke say.

"Raven stop fighting us." Clarke declared as Skylar looked over at Jasper. Than at her semi friend. Well they were on the ropes to mending and creating a friendship.
