Resurrection

Toby POV

No one has come for me yet, it's starting to worry me. Not Cage, nor Dr. Tsing, nor any of the orderlies who came with her. I haven't heard anything either, no alarms, and no signs of the Ark citizens coming to rescue us. So I sit, chained to Cage's desk with nothing to do and no chance of rescue in sight.

My body hurts, the hole in my spine has started to ache and I think it's become infected. There's nothing I can do. My wrists are blue and yellow, covered in scabs. I can't reach around me to change the bandage on my spine and I can barely change the one on my collar.

"You need something to eat?" A guard walks into the president's office, one hand on his gun.

I don't make eye contact with him. "I'm not hungry."

A few more walk in behind him and I finally raise my head. "You're coming with us." Two men step forward and unlock my restraints.

I shake out my wrists and stand up. "Where? They've always done my procedures in here."

"We need you to negotiate." They push me forward into the hall. "Up the stairs."

I feel a gun being pushed into the back of my head. I raise my hands and follow them up the stairs. The hallway we end up in is cloudy and they stop me in front of a barricade.

"Shout for help." One of them tells me.

I smirk. "You'll have to kill me first." I know that they can't because they need as much bone marrow as they can get.

"Or we have to do this the hard way." He lowers his gun and shoots me in the calf.

I let out a pained shriek and hear rustling from behind the barricade of furniture.

"Toby?"

"Who's that?"

I lean on my other leg and grit my teeth. "Don't take down the chairs. I'm fine."

The guard behind me whips the pistol at the back of my head, it cracks against my skull and I start to bleed. "You might not want this one safe, but what about your friend Maya?"

I can hear the radio over the wall of chairs and my eyes widen. I start to feel dizzy and I can hear them taking down the chairs slowly.

"Stop it!" My voice sounds weak.

I feel a kick against my spine and that's the last bit of pain my body can take standing up. I collapse onto the ground and with one last kick to the ribs the guards leave me there to bleed out.

A few moments later two people are grabbing me under the arms and dragging me into the barricaded room. Monty and Harper both lean over and fill my vision.

"Bellamy's coming to help us." Monty assures me.

I giggle quietly. "I saw Bellamy, he's at camp with all the other Ark people." I grab Harpers hand and roll my head over to look at her. "They tried to kill me. You were raised with wolves." I laugh again and Monty looks concerned.

He pats down my head and his hand comes away red with the blood from the pistol wound. He then reaches my collarbone and finds the hole drilled there. I grab his hand when I see the tears gathering in his eyes.

"It's not so bad." I nod, trying to reassure him. I hear Cage's voice in the hallway talking to guards.

My eyes widen as Monty looks around the room with worry. "We have to be gone when the smoke clears."

"You have to leave me." I push myself away from Monty and land on the ground. "You can't be dragging me around the mountain while you have to keep your people safe."

Monty drops to one knee. "I will not leave you Toby."

"Yes. You are. Now go." Tears gather in the corners of my eyes. "Cage won't kill me, Monty. He likes me too much."

I lean against a pillar and close my eyes. "We will come save you."

"Just tell Bellamy I'm okay." I stare up at him with pleading eyes. "Please, just do that."

He nods sadly and follows the other teens out. "I will. I promise."

Smoke fills the room and I cough, trying to cover my mouth as much as possible. I'm not very successful and soon my brain turns off and my vision blacks out once more.

Monty POV

As the Ark prisoners start to run with their Mount Weather saviours, Jasper and I turn to Bellamy.

"Hey. We're coming with you." Jasper says boldly.

"No, you're not. They still don't know I'm here and I need to keep it that way." He explains.

I look over at Jasper quickly. "So what do we do?"

"Stay alive and be ready to fight." He looks at us both intensely. "War, is coming."

As Bellamy starts to walk away, I remember the promise I made to Toby. "Toby is fine Bellamy."

"You saw her?" He looks at me with an anxious fire lighting in his eyes. "Where is she?"

I turn away. "She's fine. She just wants out of this damn mountain."

"Monty. Where is she?" Now Bellamy is angry.

I shake my head. "She's with Cage." Bellamy swears and I step towards him. "Getting angry won't help her. We have to kill the mountain men and save everyone."

He looks at me coldly then turns and marches away. I look at Jasper, then we both run with the others into what is hopefully safe.
