Hey
So this is just an idea I've had for a while. There will be a second chapter. And I may write something for what happened before. But please comment. I would love to know what you think of it.
Marcus, Bellamy and Murphy rush in to the throne room as fast as they can. Dropping the gas masks at some point as they go in with their guns raised. The doors slam against the walls as they enter. The sight they are greeted with stops Marcus's heart for a moment. The sight of Clarke being tied up with obvious distress on her face and Jaha in the process of hitting Ontari with a crow bar would make anyone distraught. But that is not the sight that stops Marcus in his tracks for the briefest of moments.
Clarke shouts out "Bellamy stop him" referring to Jaha but it was too late, before he is shot Ontari is down. But Marcus barely processes any of this happening as he sees her. Abby, his Abby, the woman he has fallen deeply and completely in love with, was hanging on robe by the neck. 'No' his mind shouted but for the briefest of moments he couldn't move. Murphy rushed past him, his body catching up with his mind faster than Marcus's
Murphy runs up to the fallen crate near her hanging feet (the same one she must of stepped off of and turns it up to stand on it and cut the rope. Marcus his body finally coming out of its shock to process what is happening. He runs up to her body and waits to catch her falling limp body. Murphy cuts the rope and Abby falls into Marcus's waiting arms. He lowers her to the ground whispering her name "Abby please, please…." He pulls the rope from around her neck. He hears Clarke's frantic voice "Is she alive, is she breathing?" Marcus is echoing those questions in his own head. "Please Abby, I can't do this without you." He whispers. He lowers his head to her lips to feel her breath on his cheek. He breathes a sigh of relief and exclaims "Its okay, she breathing."
He's sure Clarke would have shown signs of relief as well but Marcus couldn't take his eyes of Abby. At some point tears escaped his eyes but he couldn't give a thought to what he would look to the others now. Not when the woman he loved was lying in his arms after being so close to death.
There was a lot commotion around him but he only caught parts of it "we can't let Ontari Die." "Her pulse is weak" "hold this to the wound" But Clarke has his attention when Clarke says with a firm but defeated voice "She's brain dead. She can't give us the kill code. It's over."
The whole plan has failed. What are they to do now with no nightblood to put the flame into it would seem they are doomed.
"We're trapped."
