"Del?" Minho asks.
Del turns as fast as he can, Minho can see him favoring his right leg as he holds out a crude spear. Minho holds his hands up, "Whoa."
"Minho?" Del asks as he drops his spear.
"In the flesh. What are you doing out here?" Minho asks.
Del looks around, "I was on my way to the dropship when a grounder attacked me, he sliced my leg. I managed to get away, but I wasn't going to make it back to the dropship in time, so I ran before Clarke set it off."
Minho walks over to Del and finds the would seeping blood, Minho kneels beside him to get a closer look, "We need to get you back to the dropship."
Del nods, and Minho takes Del's right arm and warps it around his shoulder, supporting Del's torso with his left arm. Del slumps into him, "Thanks Minho." Apparently the adrenaline keeping him alive is now leaving.
Minho nods, "Watch out for grounders and stray delinquents."
Del nods, "Why are you out here?"
"Bellamy and I didn't make it back to the dropship in time, we had to make a run for it." Minho explains.
"Where's Bellamy?" Del asks.
Minho sighs, "We got separated last night, it was chaotic."
Del nods, Minho can feel him getting weaker by the minute, "Del, you have to stay with me."
Del sighs, "You were right, we did get to see another sunrise."
Minho smiles, glad Del is still conscious.
"Minho." Del whispers.
"What?" Minho says, but his question gets answered when they go tumbling to the the ground.
Del stays down as Minho tries to get up, but is met with a blunt object in the face. Minho falls back to the ground, ears ringing as he watches Del get bound, Minho tries to move but he tastes blood in his mouth and starts spitting it up; he bit his cheek.
Minho feels his hands getting bound, and struggles, but then feels a boot on his back and one of his shoulders pops out, Minho lets out a loud gasp. The grounder hauls Minho to his feet and ties him to the back of his horse. Minho watches as Del struggles, "Let me carry him." Minho says, as he watches Del's eyes droop and movements become more sluggishness.
The grounder ignores Minho, and Minho swears under his breath as he walks closer to Del. Del looks at Minho, with hazy brown eyes. "Del!" Minho yells as Del trips over a rock and crashes to the ground. The horse drags Del a little ways before the grounder stops the horse and hops off.
"No, I can carry him." Minho says as he watches the grounder cut the rope connecting Del to the horse, the grounder moves it to Del's neck but Minho stops him by slamming his body into the grounder, and they go tumbling to the ground. Minho ends up falling across Del, arms bent at weird angles as he is still attached to the horse. The horse spooks because of the ordeal, and takes off; Minho trailing behind.
The grounder follows, Del forgotten, and Minho tries to break free as branches scrape his face and arms, while rocks, uneven ground, and the occasional exposed root scratch his back.
The horse jumps over a fallen tree, and Minho gets stuck snapping the rope. Minho's arms took the worst of it, protecting his head, and his right shoulder is dislocated, but Minho breaths a sigh of relief. He tries to get up, but then the grounder gags him before forcing him to stand. Minho trails behind the grounder, ignoring the way his body aches.
"Ahh!" Bellamy screams as he attacks the grounder.
Minho sees a frozen Sterling and scared Monroe hiding behind the trees, and Minho sighs, seeing where this is going. The grounder gets the upper hand, and soon Bellamy is tied up, walking next to Minho as the grounder drags them back to Anya.
Minho just wants to stop moving, his body is screaming in protest with each step, and his right arm is limp, while his shoulder is ablaze with every tug the grounder gives.
Monroe and Sterling come out, spears ready, but then the grounder cuts the spears with a swipe of his sword, and the two delinquents pause. The grounder moves in for the kill, and then a bullet is fired; the grounder falls. Minho feels Sterling untie him, and looks to see Kane standing there with a gun and guards behind him.
Monroe is better with knots than Sterling, because Bellamy is soon by Minho, "On three." Bellamy swiftly moves his shoulder back in place, and Minho is grateful for the gag. Minho pulls the gag out of his mouth, "What happened to one through three?"
Bellamy smirks, "I lied."
Minho was about to retort when a light bulb goes off in his head, "Del?"
"We didn't see him." Monroe says.
"He was with me, he got left behind." Minho says.
"Son, wait." Kane says, but Minho pays him no mind as he leaves.
"Follow him." Kane orders, but Minho is already gone.
Minho is kneeling by Del by the time they catch up to him, Minho tried to lift the kid, but his arms couldn't. "Hang on." Minho says.
"Is he alive?" Kane asks.
A woman pushes through, Minho recognizes her as Abby Griffin, before she gets there Minho says, "There's a pulse."
Abby kneels to check and nods, "Take him back." She looks toward Minho, "Take him as well."
Minho stands, "No."
"You need a sling." Abby says as she situates Del on a stretcher.
Minho shrugs off the guards that try to subdue him, "No, I'm going back to the dropship."
Bellamy steps in, "Let's go, he can get a sling later."
Abby looks appalled that they aren't listening to her, but then Kane says, "Were wasting daylight, lets hurry up."
The groups splits up, the delinquents with Kane, Abby, and four guards, while the rest head back to camp with Del.
Minho rolls his eyes as they talk about Clarke, he wants to ask if the others are important, but keeps his mouth shut.
What they find is disappointing to some and infuriating to others. Bellamy attacks Murphy the moment Murphy steps out of the dropship. The guards subdue him, and Sterling says, "Murphy's a killer."
"Because there are laws and rules that ensure order. That doesn't go away because-" Kane starts, and Minho sees red.
"Rules? Order? Did you think about that when you sent 100 kids to die?" Minho starts, but Murphy cuts him off.
"It's true, I killed two and shot another, she's in the dropship." Murphy says as he curls into himself and wipes blood off his face. The adults look surprised, and Murphy shrugs, "Float me."
The adults pause, surprised that a 17 year old would admit to murder, but Minho moves to the dropship, surprised Raven isn't gone with the rest.
Minho finds Raven laying on her side, a pool of blood around her head, "Raven!" He says sliding to his knees as gets to her. There's a line of blood from her mouth, down her chin, and onto the ground below, but Raven's brown eyes shine with life as she glares at Minho, "About time."
Abby is soon there, "She's lost a lot of blood, we need to get her back now." The guards come in and move Raven to a stretcher.
"Raven can you hear me? Do you know where the other's are?" Abby asks.
Minho scoffs, "She was shot, and now she's bleeding to death. Do you really think now's the right time?"
Kane sighs as he sees the face Abby's making, "He right, lets get back to camp. We'll send search parties out when we get back."
Abby all but storms out of the dropship. Everyone follows, with Kane taking the rear. Aside from Bellamy, who is forced to walk beside the guards, there is a clear divide between the delinquents and the adults.
A/N So Finn is in the Mountain, I'm debating if I want him to become a killer or not. Please let me know! Also if you want to see what happens in the mountain I will tell it from the POV of Newt and Thomas, otherwise I'll just show what happens on the outside.
Also, action scenes are a weak point of mine, so please let me know how I can improve. Constructive criticism of any kind is always welcomed!
Thank you for reading!
Until next time!
