Anya then declared, "Taim yu drag raun, taim yu ge ban au!" If you fall behind, you get left behind. They nodded their heads towards her, getting ready to set out. Then, just like that, the first wave of Grounders flooded the woods and to war. This was it. The day had come. The war had officially begun. ⍋⍋⍋⍋⍋ They thought they were the only ones on Earth. The first after ninety-seven years because of the war that took place that eradicated all life on Earth. They thought that they were safe and that they were able to start again. Finally free from their crimes. But they were wrong, and they were going to find out the hard way, that they weren't the only ones. They were going to find out that they weren't safe, they wouldn't start again and they definitely weren't free. Grounders survived for ninety-seven years on the ground, they know it like the back of their hand. They weren't going to let them settle in so easily. They might have survived the last war, space and death. But they wouldn't survive the Grounders. Or so they thought. © copyright | tribecky | 2016-2017

"did you see the flares in the sky? were you blinded by the light?" ───────── ( © montygreens ) ( the 100 ) ( season 1 - 2 ) ( bellamy blake x oc ) ( book one )

Having been ripped out of her mother's arms right after being born a minute later than her twin, Wren Jordan was sent to the Sky Box on the Ark. Considered a criminal for the simple act of being born, lonely walls and cell guards are all she has and all she's ever known for the past seventeen years. When forced out of her cell one day and placed on a ship, a confused but excited Wren learns that she is part of The 100, a group of underage criminals, that are to be sent back to Earth, where no one has been to in decades. Filled with mixed emotions, Wren finds that she has no idea on what to expect on the ground. A sure death, most likely. What she most certainly didn't expect was to find that her twin was to be sent down with her and the rest of The 100. Determined to keep herself and her recently met twin alive on the ground, Wren is willing to do whatever it takes to keep them safe. But when some of the delinquent group decide to cause trouble, she finds that she got more than she bargained for when she tries to stop them. Confused, with new and mixed feelings found, Wren Jordan will find that it takes more to survive than she thought and that some people make it worth your while to go to Hell and Back.

❝Blood must have blood.❞ Grounders believe in that one sentence. They let it rule their choices, their lives even. It has always been their way of life and it probably always will be. But are there children scared of death and brutality? There is one. This is Valika's story about being a pariah within her people's walls and beyond them. When the one part of her life she thought of as a constant is taken away by intruders, the once so scared grounder changes. The change doesn't only scare her, it rules her. One sentence starts ruling her life. ❝My people's blood will be answered by the enemy's blood.❞ Can her people stop her? Can her friend stop her? Or is it in the hands of the enemy to prove her wrong and save her broken soul? [season 1 + grounder culture & aspects from season 1-3] TW // torture edit (1/3/2018): i wrote this when i was 14 so please bare with me here lol. i'm currently thinking of rewriting this as the story contains a (in my opinion) toxic relationship that i feel is highly romanticized.

When her feet hit the ground, she knew she was finally home. And home is where the heart is. [season one] [pg13]

(Sequel to Hell and Back) If Wren Jordan had learned anything while being a leader, it was to never leave her people behind. There was never a good enough reason to do so before, and she wasn't about to start looking for one now. Ever since she woke up in a blindingly, white room and saw her twin brother frantically screaming in the room opposite of her, Wren knew something was wrong. When she realized less than half of her people were present there, there was no doubt in her mind that she needed to find them and would stop at nothing to do so. Wren refused to give up hope about finding them, especially since one of the most important things in her life was with the missing group. Now, with new feelings in mind, powering her every move, Wren must be willing to work with the enemy, make new and unexpected alliances, and raise hell while fighting for the ones she loves most. Even if it meant that her bond with her twin brother would be put through the ultimate test.

❝I don't do regrets. Regrets are pointless. It's too late for regrets. You've already done it, haven't you? No point wishing you could change it.❞ Elissa Bardot-Gray was never the one to be classified as a "rule breaker". She had a high-ranking absent father that she spent the majority of her life trying to impress and she had no time to waste on something like stealing or drinking. But when a traumatic experience resulted in the death of her mother, made something snap inside Elissa and she'd been locked in solitary ever since. From then on, she didn't expect to live past her eighteenth birthday. That was the day she was destined to die. But the Chancellor changed everything when he sent her and ninety-nine other delinquents to a planet no longer meant for human life. Now, she must come to amends with her past and learn to live in this new, exciting and dangerous place.

T O O F A R G O N E [ B O O K O N E ] ❛ and i can feel my every breath unfold. ❜ Ninety-seven years after the destruction of a nuclear war that wiped out almost the entire human race, survivors are faced with yet another life or death situation that would surely be written in history. With limited oxygen supply running out faster than expected, the Ark - a sanctuary in space built to keep humanity alive until the radiation-soaked planet could be habitable again - makes the brutal decision to send one-hundred criminals down to the ground in hopes of saving everyone. Iris Warren was a mere two weeks away from her impending death when she was hauled out of her prison cell and into a drop-ship that would toss her, along with ninety-nine other convicts all under the age of eighteen, down to the dangerous planet. She, along with everyone else, is put to the test. Between gruesome violence and being at war with grounders, the hundred must face their battles head on if they want to survive. And with war evident all around her, Iris is forced to become the warrior she is destined to be; all the while battling her own heart over a man she is strangely attracted to.

E M P T Y H E A R T S [ BOOK ONE ; ON HOLD ] ❛ she sought refuge in empty hearts. ❜ In a post-apocalyptic time, ninety-seven years after a devastating nuclear war wiped out most of humanity and forced a small fraction of survivors to flee to outer space, one-hundred convicts, all under the age of eighteen, are sent on a deathly mission down to earth to confirm if there's a second chance at life on the ground. Catherine Grey was the second child born into her family, making her a criminal the very second she took her first breath. She spent half of her hollow life in hiding, growing up in her brothers shadow; never getting to experience the simple thing that is living. She yearned for life, to be able to breath fresh air, to feel the wind blowing through her hair, and to just be free - free from all the rules; free from the law that was binding her to death; free from her bad tempered, alcoholic of a father. She spent the last nine years of her life staring at the four grey walls of her prison cell, counting down the days until the emptiness in her heart would be buried by that of death. And just months before her feared eighteenth birthday, Catherine is thrown down to earth with ninety-nine other juvenile delinquents. Sent on a ride of emotions filled with death, love, betrayal, and war, Catherine experiences the best and worst that life has to offer; falling in love with an older man being right in between. Nothing can prepare anyone for what awaits on the ground, and finding out that there are survivors of the nuclear war out for their blood makes bringing mankind back to the ground even more difficult.

And before he even knows it he would do anything to protect her, and she would do the same.
