Chapter 46-Finding Their Secret
Mount Weather
Roy and Miller stood in a room with Dante when the door opened. "Sorry to keep you waiting. We had to finish decontamination," The doctor says.
"Thank you, Dr. Tsing," Dante says.
"The man with the burns, how is he?" Miller asks.
"He's improving," Tsing says.
"We'd like to talk to him," Roy says. Tsing looks at Dante.
"Sir, only patients are allowed in medical," Tsing says.
"We can arrange that," Dante says. Miller and Roy nod. Tsing uncovers the body. There was a piece of metal in his chest.
"What is this?" Roy asks as he points at it.
"It's a dialysis shunt. We all have one in case of exposure. Would you like to see the exit wound?" Tsing asks. Roy and Miller nod. She grabs the body, and Dante helps her move the man on his side. "Sergeant Langston was found to push the arrow out in the field," Tsing says. "Thank you, sir," She says as they lay the body back on its back. "We've got it right here," Tsing says. She opens a container and comes back with an arrowhead. Miller and Roy look at it.
Alpha station
Billy walks into Anya and Luna's room. He sees Luna on the bed and walks up to her. "Raven said you were looking for me," Billy says to her. Luna looks at him.
"Yes, I have an offer for you," Luna says.
"What is it?" Billy asks.
"I want you to become my second," Luna says.
"Like you train me?" Billy asks. Luna nods as she stands up.
"Yes, this means that you will follow my orders, and I will train you," Luna says.
"I'm in," Billy says.
"Good, but that does not mean you do not stop leading your people. I won't be giving orders. I'll be training you to fight like me," Luna says. "With that being said. I do believe you deserve to know," Luna says. She pulls out her dagger and cuts her hand. Black blood comes out.
"You're a nightblood," Billy says.
"You can ask questions later now go lead your people," Luna says. Billy nods as he leaves.
Mount Weather
Miller and Roy walk past Jasper. "What did president Wallace say?" Jasper asks.
"He showed us Shaw's body. It looked like an arrow wound," Miller says.
"Maybe because it is an arrow wound," Jasper says.
"Or that's what they want us to think. What? They could've doctored it," Roy says.
"You two sound crazy. Why do you two want to screw this up for us?" Jasper asks.
"I don't know what this is," Roy says.
"This is safe. This is food, a real bed, clothes. My personal favorite: not getting speared by grounders. And how long do you think they'll let us stay if you keep this up?" Jasper asks.
"I don't want to stay. I want to find my friends and Claire," Roy says. Miller looks at Jasper.
"Did someone threaten you?" Miller asks.
"No. No, it's common sense. Look, we're guests here, not prisoners. What would you do with two guests if they kept calling you a liar? Generally, acted like an ungrateful ass?" Jasper asks.
"I would kick their ungrateful ass out," One of the teens says.
"Right now, the biggest threat to us is you," Jasper says before he walks away. A little bit later, Roy and Miller were sitting as they threw the map away.
"Langston. Where are you going, man? Tonight's movie night," One of the guards says.
"I gotta pass. Doc says I got one more treatment," Langston says.
"Roy? Is that?" Miller asks.
"Yeah, it is," Roy says. They see his arm was still bloody. Roy and Miller follow him until he goes into a room. "I have an idea. Come with me," Roy says. They go back to the bunks as two of the teens walk by. They stop by a bed.
"Only patients are allowed in medical," Miller says. Roy takes the bandages off his arm and cuts in on the metal, reopening the wound. Miller looks at him and does the same, opening a new wound that leaks blood.
TonDc
Nyko walks out of his tent and sees Indra waiting for him. "Indra," Nyko says.
"How is she?" Indra asks.
"She will be okay. Lincoln is with her now. We are hoping to go find the others soon once she is okay," Nyko says.
"You have gotten quite close with these people," Indra says.
"I have," Nyko says. "We all have even you to some extent. Lincoln, Claire, and the commander, I bet, have gotten close with them," Nyko says.
"Lincoln is in a romantic relationship with the girl?" Indra asks. Nyko nods.
"He is, and Claire is in one with one of them too. Roy," Nyko says.
"Who knows, maybe these people won't be as bad as we thought," Indra says.
"Believe me when I say this, Indra. These people are going to make the rest of our lives interesting," Nyko says before he goes back into the tent. Indra watches him before she leaves.
Alpha station
Billy walks into medical and sees Emma and Clarke helping Abby. Emma was sitting by Bellamy, who was in the room, and Miles, who was on the bed. Billy walks over to them. "How are you feeling, Miles?" Billy asks.
"Better," Miles says.
"You survived two arrows. You're one strong kid," Billy says.
"It's good to have you back as our leader," Miles says.
"It feels good being back with all my friends," Billy says.
"Are you and Raven together?" Abby asks Billy, who nods. "I was just wondering," Abby says. Billy looks at Emma and Bellamy and smiles. Billy taps Miles's leg.
"Stay strong, kid," Billy says before he leaves the tent. Billy walks past Major Byrne. "Anything?" Billy asks her.
"No, sir," Byrne says. Billy nods as he walks into Alpha station. He walks into a room where Lexa and Luna were training. Luna sees him.
"I do believe that it is time for my new student and me to train," Luna says. Lexa nods as Billy pulls out his sword and walks up to Luna as they begin to train. Anya walks into the room Charlotte was sharing with Tris and sees Charlotte sitting on a bed. Anya walks up to her, and Charlotte looks at her.
"Be up early tomorrow. I will begin training you with Tris," Anya says.
"What?" Charlotte asks.
"Just be ready," Anya says. She nods before she leaves. Kane and Callie come and stand by Lexa as Billy and Luna train.
"We haven't had the chance to thank you," Callie says.
"For what?" Lexa asks.
"You protected him even though it could hurt your standing. You helped our friends and family and for that you have our loyalty and our trust commander," Kane says.
"Lexa in private," Lexa says to Kane and Callie who nod as they watch their son train. Murphy walks into Wells' room and sits down. Wells looks at him.
"I wanted to run at that grounder when I saw he had you. I want to tear his arms off for touching you," Murphy says to Wells who smiles.
"Sounds like you may care for me, Murphy," Wells says.
"I do, you're my brother," Murphy says. Wells nods.
"I'm not going anywhere," Wells says. Murphy nods as he lays his head against the bed and sits there.
Mount Weather
The doctor checks on Roy and Miller and puts a bandage on before she leaves. The two teens stand up and go to Langston. "Langston," Roy says as he shakes him. He looks at him and sees the blood that was being pumped into his system was going to other patients. They follow it to a door. They try to open and can't before they see a vent. They climb in the vent and come out, where they see two people hanging upside down with tubes in their skin.
"They're grounders," Miller says. Roy nods as he hears a noise. They turn around and see cages full of people. The people grab at them for help. Roy stops by a cage and bends down with Miller.
"Ontari," Roy says as they look at her.
Thanks for reading. I have a few ideas as we wait for Miller and Roy. Next chapter, Wells and his dad have a talk and Roy, and Miller save Ontari. Soon Emori and Niylah will be coming in. As always, suggestions, ideas, and feedback are welcomed. Until next time.
